It is the most fuel efficient engine (its energy allocation is lower than its competitors). Also, the powertrain power/torque curve is dictated by the regulations so the atmo engine is equal to the turbos (which are probably leaving a bit of torque on the table).

Extreme E is in many ways the wokest racing championship around : they repurposed a research ship to haul all their equipment (10 cars, generators and IT/mechanical supplies for single digit individual teams with mandatory gender diversity) directly to natural locations (4 or 5 a year, such as...

It always amazes me that Québec is never mentioned when it comes to "green" solutions. The province is already has effectively 100% carbon neutral electricity, uses it for heating in the very cold winters, sells the surplus to neighbours and has attracted the greenest steel and aluminium plants...

At this point, why not launch it to space instead? It's heavy I guess, but we're already pretty good at lacking forethought when it's that far out of sight...

The story around the hybrid component of the cars is much more than what you reported. They deleted the starter and the alternator. The battery and the motor are overspecced for the regen side of hybrid operation and heavy use in long distance racing. Each manufacturer has to come up with the...

Battery electric is (currently at least) no good for endurance racing. Hydrogen it is; from 2024: https://www.racetechmag.com/2021/01/red ... t-le-mans/

They most certainly have regenerative braking because it improves deceleration without having to rely on huge brakes (this thing must weigh close to 1.5 ton; way too much for a racecar). The car's performance isn't limited by the amount of energy available to go harder/faster so they don't need...

Nintendo aren't exactly known for making things easy either. The Rare exit must be sour grapes for them. Whatever small bit of rights they hold; MGM EON have to be paid off too. Then I'm sure getting all the actors or their succession to agree on a new deal for the re-release is a giant puzzle...

Current battery-electric technology can't win Le Mans (unless you swap masive batteries at pit stops). Hydrogen can. It's set to be part of the 2024 rules. Subject to delays since the 2022 rules are being pushed to 2023. Audi/VAG, BMW, Toyota and Hyundai are all publicly experimenting with...

NYT video: https://youtu.be/bE68xVXf8Kw?t=27 Dear "First world country", Please do better. We'll be ready to restart living (quasi-)normally whilst your death count will still be growing uncontrollably. Sincèrement vôtre, A close neighboor from the North.

"The 488 GT3 starts life on the same production line as the road car we drove to see it, and it uses the same 3.9L twin-turbo V8, seven-speed dual clutch gearbox (albeit with easily changed gear ratios), and even tips the scales at about the same curb weight." You posted a picture of the...

I don't know how to do it but could the ability to gain root also be a godsend for people who actually want to root their device without resorting to sketchy apps or unlocking the bootloader and flashing/restoring stuff? My device needed a sketchy Chinese app to gain root under Lollipop and...

Makes me want it in a small form-factor desktop: no crummy graphics included by default only for me to disable, state-of-the-art I/O, very affordable compared to the existing 4C/8T CPUs and just about right at 45W. Of course there must be a reason why I'll never be able to buy a system based...

Fixed. Just like 1st gen Core and HD2500 graphics got fixed after a long wait. http://www.hackintoshosx.com/files/file ... 02-opencl/

Any comment on fan noise or lack thereof? It's the most integrated and probably cheapest Hackintosh solution right now so I might very well bite and replace the ITX i3 system I've been using in the living room. It's just too bad that there's no way to fit a desktop i3 (Intel labels some...
