Ecclestone to pay $800m after pleading guilty to tax fraud
  • You're not wrong, but jail time and justice is not what motivates HMRC, or any other revenue department. They want one thing, and one thing only: The money. Putting people in jail costs money, letting rich people 'fess up and pay up is much more lucrative.

  • The Windows 11 problem
  • Linux is fine for people like you and me who are comfortable installing our own operating system, and trouble-shooting any problems. Most 'normal' people though will continue to walk into a store, buy a laptop, and use whatever came installed.

    Of course, the year of Linux on the desktop actually happened some time ago without anyone noticing. It's called ChromeOS, and that's a whole different can of worms.

  • Not even the ghost of obsolescence can coerce users onto Windows 11
  • That's hardly a Linux-specific problem. There are plenty of Windows problems I've encountered where running some random dude's registry update script is the recommended answer. If you are running anything with Admin / Root rights in any OS you had better understand what you're doing.

  • Radio Le Mans claims that Audi aborts entering F1
  • Not a good look for VAG if true. First Porsche make a big deal about entering F1 and then can't find anyone who wants to work with them. If Audi then bails out after committing to buy a team and being an engine supplier it's not going to reflect well on the brand.

    Maybe a way back into F1 for Honda though?

  • The Crucifixion Of Holy Saint Adolf by Adolf Wölfli (1864 - 1930)

    The artist had a traumatic and violent childhood, and was committed to a mental asylum in his 20s, where he spent the rest of his life. It was during his incarceration that he started drawing, eventually producing over 1500 works and a 25,000 page illustrated 'biography' of Saint Adolf.

    Barretto: Sources suggest Ricciardo would be Red Bull’s favoured driver to replace Perez if required either mid-season or at the end of 2024 campaign,
  • RBR don't want or need anyone to match Verstappen's performance. All they want from their second driver is to finish P2 in the championship. Perez is currently on track to achieve that, but Hamilton isn't too far behind him. Perez is probably safe for next year so long as he gets P2, but he can't afford another race like Suzuka.

    Ricciardo is unlikely to be an upgrade on Perez speed-wise, but he'd probably handle the pressure better and have fewer race incidents.

  • Arran looking lovely last night
  • Arran always looks lovely, when the weather permits. It's been 10 years since I first moved here and I'm still sometimes stunned by how beautiful the Ayrshire coast can be (when it's not raining sideways).

  • Does anyone out there actually like Mackie's crisps?

    They seem to be on sale everywhere in Scotland, but I think they're the worst crisps I've ever tasted. I bought some the other day because I fancied some crisps with my sandwich and they were the only brand the cafe had. They went in a bin about 10 minutes later. Just awful, like eating compressed dust.
