Good! Cheaper, greener, and safer will be huge for the auto industry!
I wonder if that could be used for hybrid with gas or turbo diesel so no charge station needed. Run the “generator” for 15 minutes when low to recharge. Or better yet, if you can’t have it charge on the fly, use 2 separate batteries so one charges while the other is used. My old F-150 had 2 gas tanks back in the 90s. Same concept.
Personally this is the best of both worlds to not tax the grid so heavily and so drastically reduce the use of fossil fuels at the same time. You could have a 2-3 gallon tank last 4-5 charging cycles or more for “1,000mi+ per tank of fuel”
OP didn’t ask about the Series S, but One X vs Series X.
One X, while better GPU and more RAM, doesn’t support next gen titles (of which there are a ton of that OP specifically asked about latest Forza) it also still runs the One/One S CPU which might be why it doesn’t do next gen.
Series X will impress, and more so if your display can match all the features (DV, HDR10, ALLM, VRR, 120Hz, etc)
Gaming on Linux has already come a long way over recent years, with improvements to Valve’s Proton and more gamers switching to Linux, but the newly-formed Open Gaming Collective (OGC) is aiming to take it even further.
Universal Blue, developer of the gaming-focused Linux distribution Bazzite, announced on Wednesday that its helping to form the OGC with several other groups, which will collaborate on improvements to the Linux gaming ecosystem and “centralize efforts around critical components like kernel patches, input tooling, and essential gaming packages such as gamescope.”
The other founding members of the OGC include Nobara, ChimeraOS, Playtron, Fyra Labs, PikaOS, ShadowBlip, and Asus Linux. Related
I replaced Windows with Linux and everything’s going great
I spent a year on Linux and forgot to miss Windows
Having a wide range of distros to choose from is one of the best parts of using Linux, but shared efforts around important gaming components should improve the experience across the board, resulting in “better hardware compatibility, fewer duplicated efforts, and a more unified Linux gaming experience.” As Bazzite’s announcement post puts it, “a win for one project becomes a win for everyone.”
It’s worth noting that this will mean some changes to Bazzite, which is switching to the OGC kernel, replacing HHD with InputPlumber as its input framework, and integrating features like RGB and fan control into the Steam UI. Bazzite also added that, “We’ll be sharing patches we’ve made to various Valve packages with the OGC and attempting to upstream everything we can."
Look, I know people hate and protest Proton for their own reasons, and “a lot” of data is relative, but proton offers their bundles of 500GB for $120/yr or 2TB for $180/yr. Personally, this would be about the most private I could imagine you getting for the price. Others can probably do it far cheaper, however, at what cost?

However, I didn’t realize Nord also had offerings now, so this seems like it’d be the best value by far. $84/yr for 2TB!
Edit: sorry, that’s for the first 12 months, after that it’s back to $180 like Proton.
That’s understandable. Microsoft, without much information or training unless you’re familiar enough with it, gave everyone “cloud storage”, but only enough for absolute basics (initially 15GB then only 7GB iirc)
Anyway, it redirects libraries to C:\Users\username\OneDrive\ so those files typically do reside locally but also instruct OneDrive to back those up. The downside is, unless you have the paid version of M365 personal or family, it fills up fast. I think there’s a lower tier now with maybe 100GB for $20/year, but still.
The issue is moving large amounts of data with all the power saving shit they also started doing to hibernate and save power overall, but why a data transfer doesn’t keep it awake is beyond me. They probably hope everyone just is either too dumb or computer illiterate to try anymore.
It’s funny cuz Trump thought tariffs would fuck other countries on trade, but China’s like, “we got this”! China is showing up the US with all these records and firsts. Record setting AI architecture I just saw in the feed, first 20 megawatt wind turbine, China/Beijing days to stop using US cyber security companies, now this about Alibaba. Hell, they also were told to stop buying Nvidia.
Trump tried to act like we’re gonna teach everyone a lesson, and countries realize they don’t need our teenage tantrum-like country/leader and are just moving on around us. Who knew?! Lol
OK, good to know. So maybe run that generator-like source for a little longer.
Do BEVs still use the car’s momentum or braking to recharge the batteries like a lot of hybrids used to or still do? I know it won’t amount to much but I’m sure it helps.
