I know no one has asked this, but this supremely eloquent technical description about the manufacture & operation of 1TB microSD cards is a masterley piece of technical writing, and shows the sophistication of todays data storage subsystems.
Each bit is stored by charge trapping 5 electrons in a 3d structure . The structure is 332 levels high, a skyscraper in chip terms, the lithography machine precisely stacks atoms on top of each other. The masks are smaller than the wavelength of light, so they reverse engineer…
Looking at the cars coming into pits, these cars won't need cleaning, they're going to need scraping. The amount of detritus at this point is worse than I've seen on cars after 24 hrs. At some point airflow to critical components will be adversely affected.
If you are a sports car fan, you need to be tuned in to Peters Autos on Youtube, the Endurance 1 grid from Imola is pure autonotive perfection with @specutainment @MackayPodcast & @Bradders3078 covering the action. This is going to be amazing!
To all of you on the other side of the pond, Happy 4th July. Hope you have a fabulous day.
If you were in race control at Spa, would you go Safety Car, bunch them up, elevate speeds then go green, or, given the temp of track, would you run them at 80KPH, freeze distances between cars then go straight to green with cars spaced out to avoid bunching? #Spa24h
Why weren't the movements of the CSA McLaren covered by a white flag to warn drivers of a slow moving vehicle? Now we've had a serious accident which could have been avoided, I'm sure. Hope both drivers are OK. #Spa24h
I know some of us call Le Mans 'Motorsport Christmas', and we've just had the 24hr race. Well, I discovered this weekend, post race, that since June 1st, on Freeview Channel 52, 'Great Christmas' has started broadcasting Christmas movies 20hrs a day from now until January.🎄🎄
I made an oversight post Le Mans, which was not thanking @radiolemans & @specutainment great creation, "The Collective", the banter, insight, conversation & humour really makes these races special for me with this community. Thank you all.
I know that many team members of @RSL_Studio are football fans and also motorcycle enthusiasts. How about reading results of this @specutainment during #MWM to prove you're live? A twist on Tim's brilliance at finding obscure football match results.
Fun fact: Motoball is a real sport. It blends football and motorcycling, and it's a sport that dates back to 1930s France.

Here's a wonderful, uplifting post from the Japanese Ambassador, celebrating William Shakespeare with that other iconic character, Paddington Bear.
Great joy to take part in Shakespeare’s birthday procession in Stratford-upon-Avon. Paddington wanted to come with us!!
If you are looking for an uplifting account to put a smile on your face, this great account by the Japanese Ambassador to UK, Hiroshi Suzuki, never fails. Suzuki san is a man of such joy and culture, a true national gem.
Happy St George’s Day🏴!! I wrote rose🌹in Japanese calligraphy😊
