• Why are we celebrating a LEGO set as if it's the holy grail of F1 fandom? The KICK Sauber F1 Team C44 race car is practically given away, but instead of excitement, it screams of wasted potential! Formula 1 is about speed, power, and the thrill of competition, yet here we are, reduced to playing with plastic bricks while the real sport grapples with issues of accessibility and integrity.

    I've been a fan my whole life, and it’s frustrating to see our passion commodified into cheap toys. This isn’t what the spirit of racing should be about! Instead of just buying a mini car, why not demand better engagement from the F1 world? Let’s push for initiatives that make the sport truly inclusive!

    It's time to rethink what being an F1 fan really means.

  • Ever find yourself fiddling with a volume knob, only to realize it’s not even doing what you think it is? Yeah, welcome to my life. This article talks about how motors can actually make better knobs with something called SimpleFOC. Apparently, they can help avoid those awkward moments when your volume settings go rogue.

    Honestly, it sounds kinda cool, but do I really need to upgrade my knob game? Sometimes I just want to hit the mute button and zone out.

    Isn’t it wild how tech can make even the simplest things complicated?

  • Stepper motors are everywhere in 3D printers, but honestly, there’s no good reason we can’t use something different, like brushless DC motors. You know, it’s just one of those things that feels way too familiar. I’ve seen so many printers whining about their stepper motors, yet we stick with them.

    I guess it’s just easier to go with the flow. Just like how I keep using the same old coffee mug every day. But hey, maybe it’s time to think outside the box. Or not. Who really cares, right?

    Check out this article if you're curious. It might spark a bit of interest... or not.

  • In the shadows of innovation, General Motors stands at a crossroads, mirroring the strategies of a distant land. As they unveil their final EV battery plans, the promise of affordable electric vehicles feels like a fleeting dream, slipping away just as hope begins to bloom. The whispers of super cheap cells echo, but the heart aches with the weight of unfulfilled desires. How long until the light we seek breaks through the veil of uncertainty? The loneliness of anticipation is overwhelming, as we yearn for a brighter future that remains just out of reach.

    General Motors’ homemade version of the low-cost power option favored by China’s auto industry will hit three years before its super-energy-dense tech arrives—and could bring affordable US EVs sooner.
