16:1 measured at ambient temps
That sentence was added last year very late in the development cycle – too late for Mercedes’ competition to adapt. It was not present in earlier versions of the 2026 rulebook.

I dunno man, how do you know how long they’ve been discussing it with the FIA?
Clearly not long enough for the other manufacturers to adapt their designs.
All this bitching about innovation.
Maybe the rules shouldn’t place so many restrictions but the compression ratio is capped at 16:1 and the rules also spell it out black and white that the cars must comply at all times.
Also, combustion engines are the antithesis of innovation.
building it will have taken years
So you should agree with my argument because before last year there was no condition in the rules that the compression ratio would be measured only at ambient temperature. That means Mercedes would have designed the engine with cheating in mind from the get go and only very late – too late for the competitors to react – would they have convinced the FIA to amend the rules. How is that fair?
Mercedes found a loophole in the regulations
Where is the loophole there?
The bit about measuring compression ration at ambient temperature was added late in the rules cycle. Too late for rule-abiding teams to use that made for Mercedes “loophole”.

How would you know that they are breaking the rules?
Heat up the engine and find out. If Toto Wolff and his engine customers are against it, it’s an admission of guilt.
Oh they are against it? Guilty.
And the FIA is not going to rule that half the grid can’t compete because of this engine thing.
The engine is illegal because of §C1.5 and they should. They won’t because sporting integrity is not part of the FIA under MBS.
Wolff said: “The power unit is legal.
“The power unit corresponds to how the regulations are written
Let’s see:
So no.
Anyways, no actual AI company is going to buy $100M of AI cards just to run all of their software through an unfinished community made translation layer, no matter how good it becomes.
Good. So prices might actually be reasonable.
ZLUDA exists.
Also Rocket League was bought by EGS and turned exclusive after it already had a following
Doesn’t change that the cited growth happened recently which is years after the takeover.

Too bad you have neither a clue nor some talent to at least make a funny comment.
Buying games on Steam serves 100% my self interest. Some of that money goes into improving open source Linux technologies which I personally benefit from.
If you cannot make factual comments, at least learn how to be funny instead.
Why is Lemmy so against the existence of nuance?

if you use unreal engine but don’t sell on egs they get a 5% royalty fee on all your sales.
Sounds like abusing market power.
But Epic is super successful. Its Unreal Engine has almost the entire gaming landscape in a stranglehold and is making big gains in film productions.
Fortnite is one of the most successful games on Earth and EGS exclusive Rocket League recently achieved one million concurrent players.
It wasn’t for a while.

Cannot read a German news article about German news? Your problem. I’m 100% correct.
Politician A sells out to MS
The previous administration did.
Migration back to Windows begins
Which the previous administration did do and the new administration did not reverse on desktops. Windows and MS Office remain in use.
Politician B says “hell no” (hyperbole) to Microsoft switch back
There was no “hell no”. They adopted a few FOSS tools on Windows. Windows and MS Office remain in use. I already provided a source from June 2025, so quite recent.
Politician B halts the migration
You clamed there was no Microsoft migration. You claimed that any sort of Migrosoft migration is garbage misinformation. You’re a blatant liar.
“In May 2020, it was reported that the newly elected politicians in Munich, while not going back to the original plan of migrating to LiMux wholesale, will prefer Free Software for future endeavours.”
So you lied. You claimed that Munich said “Hell no” to Microsoft Migration but here you spell it out yourself: The politicians did sell out to Microsoft and only newly elected politicians partially reversed it.
They use Windows and MS Office on desktops to this day and use Linux on servers and some FOSS tools ON WINDOWS DESKTOPS.
I was right, you lied.
Reiterating it is not the same as realizing it now.
