Right?! Yeah don’t enforce safer driving practices or anything. Just make it easier to not pay attention.
I’ve always said phones should lock you out of almost every feature when motion/gps data shows movement. Then you have to put in a PIN to use your phone as a passenger. Like the Navi screen warnings of before “do not use while driving”. This way people can be held accountable for the dangerous shit they do.
Hopefully that don’t cost more than what most people make in a year.
Good, maybe they’ll realize nobody wants cars being as complete as AAA video game titles… Aka overpriced shit that’s half assed with loads of issues.
I’ll take the version Wayne Szalinski makes that can be controlled by a large remote, then hire some random kid to do it while also searching for my own kids!
Hey, Grounded are great games!
I wasn’t meaning they are specifically, just pointing out how fanbois are. Thats why I dropped to another paragraph. Sorry

You do realize its ChatGPT underneath, yes?
I chuckle and die a little when the CGPT bois trash Copilot, but lie, when it was nonprofit MS was funding a lot of the research so that’s their backend.
Not to mention all that stuff left in space can’t just be brought down safely to reuse/recycle like other materials. So it’s a permanent loss of resources.
Thank God my company is so antiquated they don’t even know about half the tech that exists to spy on employees. Thankfully I’m also head of IT so imma keep them in the dark about that loll. Every time I upgrade the simplest things it’s like I’ve shit out actual magic. It’s great!
Don’t forget, though, it does that one thing for that one reason I forgot already as I typed it… But its still good, clearly!
I hope everyone ditches everything the US has produced, so that in the end, we can all point fingers to Trump.
Hey, remember when everyone said in 2015 & 2016 he’d be a good president cuz he knows goes to run a business?? Well, he sure has… Makes everything about profits over people, outsources work to some 3rd party vendor, goes horribly and loses s a bunch of money. Now, running it into the ground! Just like before!
Only difference now is, is everyone else’s money too!
Not sticking up for Microsoft, but when you first setup a Windows machine, all those metrics toggled on like advertising and keyboard or handwriting usage, etc, I turn all 6 of those off. One in Windows I now uninstall Copilot and disable stuff like phone link, OneDrive, and pretty much every application from running at startup ( Adobe if needed, etc)
This is just for work, but I can usually get away with lower spec machines by curating what’s allowed to run by default.
As far as chat goes, maybe SimpleX or Session. Those are 2 e2ee decentralized chat apps. But you’d have to chat your name somewhere unsecured unless in person
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."
Dude… If ONLY we had that kind of accountability in the US!!
Edit: now I have an idea crazy enough it might just work. We get a pact of users together who all vow to run for respective offices and have an agreement (legally binding or not) to be true to our fellow citizens. We shuffle around enough of the cabinet/seats and leaders, we can catch them off-guard and hit them where it hurts!
No doubt!
Well, yeah maybe in theory the US supposedly has privacy.
The NSA over 20 years ago began to surveil all citizens post 9/11

Police, specifically federal ICE agents, use Stingrays aka IMSI simulators to hijack cell signals to spy on users nearby and track them down.

Maybe the US is worse for misleading its citizens into thinking they’re safe and have privacy, but it is far from the truth. Is not about whether or not you have anything to hide, it’s about having peace of mind of actual security in data. Or hell just your day to day.
It’s like a cheater in a relationship. They accuse you of all these nasty things because they do it themselves and think if they do it so must everyone else be doing it too. Every accusation is an admission of guilt…
If the US has a right to privacy, it’s basically nonexistent.
Almost every piece of technology is tracked through identifiers, tracking cookies, location services, cellular data transmission, nearby devices/services, facial recognition or license plate recognition, and more.
Data brokers buy, sell, and trade data in the PBs, and a lot of AI is useful on is training on our data to adjust wages, pricing of goods and services, or premiums like insurance rates, etc. Pair that with the media, they feed you only enough to be a distraction or just enough to mislead. They track how much you watch and what times so they can keep you in an echo chamber or keep you supressed if you go against the grain.
They know all about you, height, weight, age, sex, who you hang out with, where you’ve lived, your income, your spending habits, driving patterns and habits, where you’ve visited and how often, where you get groceries, where you shop online. They figure out what ads to display for you, what times it works best, what might be controversial enough to get you to click a link. They use algorithms to share upsetting or conflicting into to get people sucked into the content they want you to consume.
There is so much subliminal and subconscious control, it’s hardly noticeable. It probably sounds super “tinfoil hat”, but when you have enough information on how its gathered and executed, you realize with how much you know and have learned, there probably so much more you don’t know or haven’t learned.
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)
