@mjfree Trump's speedrunning the Idiocracy live-action remake

@ajrgd @umirf1 Few technical reasons I suspect. NB this is not being hosted on BBC infrastructure (it's a collab with the technology provider) so could be potentially risky to lend authority of the primary BBC domain to them. Might not have had time to mitigate things like XSRF and CORS risks.

@NotFifthGear I offer this as counterpoint, https://t.co/bx5D2ru11d

Three things had to line up for the stewards to overturn this.

1. The rule never says the timing system is the final word. The speeding rule (Article B1.6.3a) just says there's a speed limit, 60 km/h at Monaco. It doesn't say "speed as measured by the official timing system". Compare the false start rule (B5.11.1), which spells out exactly which system decides whether you jumped the start. Because the speeding rule names no source, the only question the stewards had to answer was: was the car actually going faster than 60? Not: did the screen say so.

2. The timekeeper proved its own number wrong. Pit lane speed is calculated as distance divided by time, and the official distance for that zone was 77 cm too long, because the barriers moved this year and opened a shorter line. The timekeeper found this itself with a laser scan after the race. Redo the maths with the correct distance and Gasly was doing 58.7 and 58.8 km/h. Under the limit, both times. The stewards actually rejected all of Alpine's own evidence; what convinced them was the official system contradicting itself.

3. The penalty could still be undone. Gasly never served his penalties during the race they were added to his finishing time afterwards, and that's the only kind the stewards have the power to erase. A penalty served at a pit stop is gone forever; nobody can give you back time you spent stationary. Alpine then filed for a review within the 96-hour deadline (Article 14 of the Sporting Code), with the new evidence the rules require. They were the only team that did.

That's why Gasly got his podium back and the other four drivers caught by the same faulty zone got nothing: all three conditions held for him, and only him.

This is WILD - real-time data-driven XR of the World Cup matches including 5 Live commentary while the games are on. Try it out! https://t.co/39tsUdBXNG
Bravo @BBCSport, this has huge potential for engaging more casual football viewers (like me) with game tactics and strategy.

We tore down the "assembled in America" Trump phone, X-rayed it, and conducted a technical analysis.

It is nearly identical to the HTC U24 Pro, which is made by a Taiwanese company with Chinese parts.

@mrdanwalker ITV moved indoors after KORvCZE to their backup box studio with generic city skyline lightbox walls :D could be anywhere! Granted the Panorama Brooklyn exteriors look ace, when your sponsors are picking up the tab it's a bit easier. I think the BBC's budgeted judiciously.

WOW -- Trump crashes out and cuts his interview with Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged

"You're either crooked or you're stupid. Let's call it quits. Because I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her."

"I traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview," she pleads.

Stop scrolling and hear this: fertiliser prices are surging due to Trump’s reckless war. And you're about to feel it in your weekly food bill.

Hi @BBCSounds, the Google Nest/Home playback of the BBC news headlines / flash briefing seems broken - according to https://t.co/Go7hPVTiXG the bulletins feed has 6pm, 7pm and 9pm episodes (as of checking now) but Google home is trying to play the 5:07pm episode and erroring.

@seatsixtyone Friend tried it and was surprised with the amount of cookies/tracking/telemetry providers you had to accept

Ugh, why does Sky Sports F1 UHD have to technical fault right at the time I want to start watching. It's the only channel with a fault as well 🙄

@MediaMattered @selinawangtv It ain't libs doing the shooting.
