General Motors announced today the formation of GM Energy, a new business unit consisting of the also recently announced Ultium Home and Ultium Commercial ecosystems, as well as the existing Ultium Charge 360 public charging infrastructure. GM Energy will explore a “holistic approach” to home and commercial energy management by integrating stationary energy storage, residential solar power and battery electric vehicles.

Ultium Home focuses on residential energy and is built around taking advantage of the large batteries present in electric vehicles via vehicle-to-home, or V2H, technology. A parked V2H-capable EV could, for example, provide electricity to a home during an outage or peak rate times when grid power is most expensive. GM Energy will work to develop and offer charging hardware for use with vehicles that support bidirectional power.

Via Ultium Home, GM Energy will also offer stationary home batteries — similar to Tesla’s Powerwall — that will integrate with vehicle charging hardware and residential solar power. A newly announced partnership names SunPower as the preferred installer for solar panels and the modular Ultium Home energy system that will be made available alongside the launch of the 2024 Silverado EV — the first Ultium platform EV to natively support bidirectional charging — in late 2023.

The software brains that promise to make the batteries, chargers, solar panels and other hardware play nicely together is the GM Energy Services Cloud. This energy management system decides how electricity is stored and used, ensuring there’s juice in the vehicle’s battery if needed for

EcoFlow’s redesigned River 2 batteries double as kettle bells

Big-ass battery maker EcoFlow is announcing the redesigned today fitted with long lasting LFP (LiFePO4) batteries and lots of ports to power your AC and DC devices. These are batteries sized to power your weekend away or a music festival.

The River 2 series consists of three batteries that vary by storage capacities, maximum AC power (pure sine wave) output, and charging ports:

The batteries can be charged in four different ways: a standard AC wall outlet, portable solar panels, a 12V car socket, and USB-C. The base River 2 can charge to 100 percent in as fast as 60 minutes, while the Max and Pro models take a bit longer due to their larger batteries.

*From left to right: River 2 Max, River 2, and River 2 Pro.*

The River 2 series, like most EcoFlow batteries, can be stacked and connected to take advantage of the company’s X-Boost tech. X-Boost is a little trick that lowers the output voltage to allow some devices rated up to 1600W (like heat guns and espresso machines) to operate off the River 2’s inverter. It doesn’t work with all high-wattage devices, though.

Vanlifers concerned with maximizing space will appreciate the handle placement which has been moved to the side. The resulting flat surface on top can be used as a makeshift table. The batteries can also serve as dual-use kettle bells with the entry-level model weighing 7.8lbs (3.5kg), the Max 13.4lbs (6.8kg), and the Pro 17.2lbs (7.8kg). I’m serious. Staying Instagram

Overwatch 2’s newest hero is the scary but sexy Ramattra

| Computer, Computers

In the perfect prelude to the Overwatch League 2022 grand finals, Blizzard has been revealed Overwatch 2‘s newest character. Ramattra is the game’s 36th hero, and his abilities and story seem like they’ll make for the most interesting addition to the roster yet.

Ramattra is the leader of Null Sectora group of sentient robots called omnics committed to the liberation of their people by any means necessary. In Overwatch‘s overarching story (yes, there is one) Null Sector is one of the biggest baddies, responsible for touching off the war between robots and humans that became the instigating event for the creation of the Overwatch task force.

Ramattra is a tank like you’ve never seen before. Rather than being the kind of tank that shields their team — like Sigma, Reinhardt, or D.Va — Ramattra’s ability to shape-shift between an omnic and nemesis form gives him offensive capabilities that allow him to attack enemies at range and burst into a team’s back line to wreak havoc on softer targets.

“I don’t think we can overestimate how scary Ramattra gets when he goes into nemesis form,” said lead narrative designer Gavin Jurgens-Fyhrie in an interview with The Verge. “You will see him change.”

Jurgens-Fyhrie talked about how, in designing Ramattra, the team wanted to accentuate the fearsomeness of his transformation in order to strike terror into the hearts of players opposing a Ramattra.

More information on Ramattra and his abilities will be shared in the coming days, and

NASA Snaps Portrait of Sun ‘Smiling’ Like a Big Fiery Goof

Our local star is taking the “sun is smiling down on us” phrase literally, it seems. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory snapped a portrait of the sun on Wednesday that makes it look like it has two dark eyes, a swirling round nose and a happy smile.

“Say cheese!” NASA tweeted along with the eye-catching image.

Say cheese! ️

There’s a science explanation behind the smile. “Today, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory caught the sun ‘smiling,'” NASA said. “Seen in ultraviolet light, these dark patches on the sun are known as coronal holes and are regions where fast solar wind gushes out into space.”

SDO launched in 2010 and has been hanging out in space and keeping an eye on the sun’s activities ever since. It’s used to study space weather and track the star’s flares and outbursts.

Twitter users saw the sun image and were quick to spot a resemblance to the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters.

The Science and Technology Facilities Council in the UK jumped in with a reworked version of the image that turns it into a happy Halloween pumpkin.

You might recall another fortuitous SDO image from 2014 when the sun sported a very Halloween-y jack-o’-lantern face. The more
