Microsoft tells Windows 10 users to just trade in their PC for a newer one, because how hard can it be? in c/technology@lemmy.world

Thank you for the useless opinion that adds nothing. Congrats

And I can’t game on Apple. A mac is a useless brick for the remaining 50% of what I do on a computer.

Adobe and ease of use

I need Adobe, specifically Lightroom, because there’s no alternative. I can’t just stop using it as a semi-professional photographer (I make money from it, just not a ton).

Darktable doesn’t handle large libraries well and also is missing features such as AI remove and integration with photoshop for splitting photos up for social media posts.

Nope, not just you. I live in the greater Seattle area (nearly the tesla capital of the world) and 8/10 times I’m blinded is a tesla in oncoming traffic.

Rivians are also terrible, and most crossovers in the last 2-3 years have been increasingly bad.

Driving a lowered sports car with no windshield tint has made driving at night a horrible process. I’m debating getting a low % window tint just to take the edge off of the headlights.

Somehow alpine has made a worse looking car than last year. They continuously amaze me with their ability to make terrible looking cars from all perspectives. Must be a holdover from their road car division

Would have been perfect without that giant white banner on the engine cover. I like the darker red, the white accents even look pretty good, it’s just that block

This livery goes so hard, much better than the rest of this years and honestly one of the better liveries of the current generation of cars

This entire set is made of insanely good photos. Absolutely love the entire vibe, the location is perfect and F40s make a great art piece.

Very much not a fan. Spa is a race that should be on the calendar every year, not periodically.

The fact that we’re still racing at imola, which produces terrible racing, is baffling, same with half the poorer street circuits.

Money is the root of every problem in this sport, but damn, this sucks.

What are your favorite 1000+ hour games? in c/games@lemmy.world

Factorio

The Factory Must Grow

I’m almost 100 hours into my new space age save, and I’ve played nearly 1k hours since I bought it 5ish years ago. By far one of the most enjoyable games I’ve ever played and I highly recommend it to everyone who enjoys sandbox games

Reminder for Windows 10 users who can't upgrade to Windows 11 in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world

I’ll go Linux when I don’t need any more windows based software, and there’s been almost 0 progress made in that sector in the last 5 years.

Between games that don’t run on Linux (Apex, CoD, any other shooter) and professional tools such as Lightroom and photoshop, there’s no way to switch to Linux without needing to boot back to windows multiple times per day.

There is no data transfer between RB and RBR. This has been clarified multiple times and the FiA closely monitors what data is shared.

Rallycross makes for some amazing pictures (lemmy.world)
 

This weekend I got the chance to shoot my first rallycross event. Despite literal inches of rain, it was some of the most fun I’ve had with a camera.

Trading Paints Credentials Leaked - CHANGE PASSWORDS (twitter.com)
 

Hadn't seen this posted, but for anyone who uses Trading Paints in conjunction with iRacing you need to go in and change passwords NOW!

There was a leak of 270,000 accounts with emails/passwords in md5 format (easily reversible to plaintext)

If you use the service make sure to reset your passwords asap and if you use the password shared on other services you should make sure to change it as well

iRacing 1440 minutes (24hours) of Le Mans (lemmy.world)
 

Anyone want to run the 24 hour race at Le Mans in iRacing this weekend?

Don't currently have an endurance team and just realized the race is coming up quick. Not super fast (like we know from the league), but pretty consistent and know the track/car well.

I'd prefer the LMP2, but could drive a GTE too. Only requirement is a C class license and the track/car.

We're a little sparse on Rig Posts, so here's mine! (lemmy.world)
 

Rig is a NLR F-GT. It's handled everything I've thrown at it so far, but it's struggling to keep up. The Seat on this rig has been ripped up by my cat, so a sweatshirt and a towel have gone into service covering up the very ripped leather. I plan on replacing the seat soon, so hopefully won't have that problem for more than another year or so.

Wheelbase is a VRS DFP. It's amazing and I love it. Packs quite a punch and does really try to rip your arms off at full FFB. This is paired with a CubeControls QR (Also known as the aliexpress one) and an Ascher F64-USB.

Pedals are also the VRS Pedals. Currently I only have 2 installed, but I do have the optional 3rd clutch that isn't mounted right now. The pedal plate flexes a lot more than I'd like, even with the additional strengthening kit from NLR.

Rig is a dedicated sim PC with a 11900K, RTX 3080 and 32GB of RAM. Triple 32 inch 1440p/144hz monitors round out the setup, mounted to a Rigmetal Monitor Stand.

I also have a Polsimer F74 that is no longer in use and a NLR GT Rim for if I need a round rim.

I'm happy to answer any querstions!

Lemmy iRacing Scheduling Poll and Joining the League (forms.gle)
 

Hey all,

Sorry about the google forum, it's set not to collect any info, but we all know how much info that still means google will grab.

I think that due to the spread of timezones interested we should plan to run the races on the weekend. They'd take ~30-45 minutes (Race length to be decided later) but shouldn't take more than an hour and a half maximum.

Please select any timeslots that you're available for, we'll choose the one that the most people can make.

To join the League you'll need to Search for the "Lemmy iRacing League", currently with id 10017. The correct one will link back to https://lemmy.ml/c/simracing as the website link. Request to join and I'll accept any incoming join requests.

Is there interest in a Lemmy iRacing league? (lemmy.world)

When reading through some of the other comments on the page, I noticed there's a good number of people who at least have an iRacing subscription. Would there be any interest in a 1 month long, free content only league? It would allow people to try the sim for a minimum cost if they're interested.

A 3 week mini championship with the MX-5 Cup, Formula Ford and Street Stocks could make for a lot of fun.

I'd be happy to organize and cover hosting costs if we can get 5/10 people interested

Edit: 5 Interested, I’ll put a poll together later and we can look at running this for the month of august.
