This picture shows just how close Tsunoda was to hitting the cameraman
  • Tracking can be done, the rest of everything can’t, especially at F1 speeds.

    Even professional grade cameras and lenses can’t reliably track f1 cars like that automatically. Photographers still frequently have to use manual focus to capture f1 cars due to the speed, and photography autofocus is much more advanced than video. Not to mention that TV cameras are fully manual in 99% of cases.

    It doesn’t really make sense to change them, and even the closest thing we’ve got (the formula e remote cams) are still not fully capable of handling fast corners, straights or a few other things.

    The logistics definitely don’t help either. If they didn’t have to setup and tear everything down every week it might allow for a bit more permanent infrastructure, which is going to likely be what’s needed for something like that.

  • This picture shows just how close Tsunoda was to hitting the cameraman
  • Worth it for the shot

    Camera operators are going to often be the last ones in unsafe positions because we still haven’t solved the remote camera problem yet. There’s too much latency to have the cameras that whip pan running on the remote tripods used in a few other series.

  • Opinion: Why Unreal Engine is wrong for EA SPORTS WRC
  • You’re not finding any multiplayer game without some kind of kernel anticheat nowadays, not would you want to. If you think hacking is bad now, imagine how bad it’d be if memory edits were possible again and all the other methods that clientside protection does solve.

  • Haas F1 team agrees technical partnership with Toyota Gazoo Racing
  • I feel like this came out of nowhere, but this seems like it’s going to be a giant benefit for Haas as a team. We could very likely see Toyota Haas in the next couple years. It’d be huge for them to move away from the dependency on Dallara for both design and manufacturing and could see them become a whole lot more competitive

  • Lemmy total number of users last month (very close to 1.5 M users)
  • I’m actually a mod over there, but as a general consumer of content, there’s not enough to make it a viable community. It’s seen a little more activity recently, but is overall a fairly small and dead community.

  • Lemmy total number of users last month (very close to 1.5 M users)
  • Simracing. We don’t relate to typical gaming at all. It’s all high end hardware, all very specialized and typically doesn’t interest normal gamers.

    Subreddit mods are very against Lemmy or anything that moves them off the platform. The absolute butthurt rage for weeks after the protests proved that one right.

    Mostly I just don’t see this platform as an alternative for medium sized communities. It works for large ones where there’s enough people that after a move if 25% transfer then you still have a lively community. Or for small communities where you can get 70%+ to move. But those mid size, 100k users on average communities trying to get them to move just ends up with a ghost town here.

  • Lemmy total number of users last month (very close to 1.5 M users)
  • They kinda do though. I can’t post about my gaming niche in a gaming community because it’s barely tangential, and still haven’t found 99% of the communities I had on Reddit.

    Lemmy is good for /all, and that’s about it tbh

  • It do be like that
  • Going to be honest here

    Windows is good for general professional use. Linux is absolutely terrible. MacOS is also decent.

    Professionals use windows because everyone knows how it functions, it has robust and supported user management and Microsoft provides significant enterprise support to companies using their operating system.

    Linux only has some of those features, they’re often half-assed or unsupported, and there’s no central authority for help.

    It’s fine for personal machines, but I absolutely disagree that the only thing windows has going for it is popularity.

  • It do be like that
  • Darktable is fine as a hobbyist, but it doesn’t fully replace Lightroom when you get into semi-professional and professional workloads.

    I need to give it another try, but my 12TB raw file library is so unwieldy to manage that I haven’t tried importing it all there. Plus the AI generative removal and Denoising is pretty important to a lot of my workflows.

  • Why do Counterstrike and the other top 10 games on Steam NEVER change?
  • The games that sit at the top of the player counts are almost always multiplayer competitive games. In a lot of ways, there’s been nearly 0 movement in the space at all since covid. The same games are still right there at the top because no new massively multiplayer game has released to top them. FPS players play CoD, Apex, Fortnite and Pubg, Dota is massive in Asian countries, GTA V has a huge cult following (check out its twitch category).

    Satisfactory being top 10 is an outlier rather than the norm, being a single player game.

    I agree with the other commenter who said that players of these games consider themselves players of Apex/CoD/Pubg before they consider themselves overall gamers. That’s the case with me now, and I rarely launch anything outside of CoD or Apex as I have little to no interest in single player games.

  • Ransomware forces Texas hospital to turn away ambulances
  • Generally these computer systems do access control, patient charting, intake management and most other critical functions, just like the rest of the world.

    Blood banks and controlled medicines are likely gated behind access controlled doors, and without either it could cause major impacts to the ability to save lives

  • Assetto Corsa EVO Announcement Trailer
  • It looks interesting

    I’m not sure how much I’ll end up playing it as I’m primarily an iRacing user, but it’s great to see something new in the community that isn’t some rf2 reskin by Motorsport games

    Rallycross makes for some amazing pictures

    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

    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

    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!

    !

    !

    !

    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 Lemmy iRacing League Availability

    In interest of scheduling I'd be looking at a 3 week league with races on Aug 5, Aug 12 and Aug 19, with a possible extra round on Aug 26 Please select ALL timeslots that you would be available. If you have another timeslot please suggest it in the Lemmy comments

    Lemmy iRacing League Availability

    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?

    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.
