The hubris the man had was so perfectly demonstrated in his interview.

"There's a rule you don't do that. Well I did."

And now he's dead.

Something could have gone wrong electronically or mechanically warranting a ballast drop. I have considered this to be a possibility outside of them hearing cracks and suddenly wanting to go up.

I would be cautious with this thought process though. Oil cools, lubricates and cleans the engine. These engines are air cooled so keep that in mind. Degraded oil can't do the job very well.

Clean up your tabs please. Omg

You'll find a majority of gaming oriented laptops do this already. No accidents.

Whereas mainstream low to high end sticks it somewhere to be smashed accidentally.

There is one actually.

It's obviously a WIP. A discord clone essentially

Nothing has changed sadly.

30 was the standard up to PS3 and X360 at 720p. With the complete rework of the hardware design for PS4 and XOne, both consoles targeted 60 at 720p and encouraged developers to reach this. If the resolution is upped to 1080p, games will more often than not target 30. There are exceptions to this such as Gran Turismo. To this day, in the era of PS5 and X Series, a majority of games still target 30 because it's easier to do so and they can crank up the graphical quality.

I don't know if this is well known, but Lamborghini has a track record of loud exhaust, period. Regardless of valve state. Huracan Performante owners requested that Lamborghini make the next special edition a little quieter. Reason being the Performante was too loud even on race tracks. Track day drivers know there are noise limits that vary by track. You're asked to leave immediately if you exceed the limit. You may also receive a temporary ban and/or fine.

What did Lamborghini do? Make the Huracan STO even louder across all driving modes. The company demonstrates it believes noise limits themselves are annoying. While I do like loud cars myself, sometimes a noise compliant normal or comfort mode doesn't exist.

It's always been bad practice to just blindly update software. That's why we have different distros.

Ubuntu and Mint hold your hand and make it easy for newcomers. Great way to dive into Linux. I completely agree these are great for "it just works" and no fuss. I've not had one break on me.

Arch and Gentoo expect you to have experience and know what you're doing. You build it up how you want it. That's what makes these so great. But you need the experience and knowledge.

I've personally tried openSUSE and in my opinion it feels like a good middle ground between both ends. In the past I've recommended Mint to get started, openSUSE once you've got experience, and then Arch for when you want total control.

This is so true and it hurts.

Have a mouse, keyboard and speaker set from 2004-2005. They all still work. I've bought several new Logitech products since 2015 and all have failed or have some defect. I've reached the point where I don't buy anything Logitech.

No. It's not neutral like a car. The transmission is still engaged, thus cranking the pistons up and down in the engine. With no oil flow from the systems, it's not very friendly to the metal bits inside. Lol
