The delusional levels of a scalper: "we act like a middleman."

Surreal.

@Lbabinz This news aligns perfectly with the fact that SteamOS can now be easily installed. It is time to abandon this platform and go to PC, since it is cheaper and just as digital. What a joke.

[Arthur Lucena @arthurlucena]

@Stoffinators @Lbabinz No. But it's the "maximizing profit" approach. Why spend in disc production if they don't need to? They can charge the same price for bytes without the cost of producing the disks.

@WonderlandNews if you're gonna have only a digital map of the park (https://t.co/iFPav1bZfy) at least either give us an option to download a high resolution version, or make an optimized vetor file (SVG) so we can zoom in and check the names of the rides.

Never trust a chat AI about products to buy. They will - largely - prioritize companies that paid to recommend their products to you.

O Google acabou de transformar mais de 1 bilhão de computadores em depósito de IA.

Inclusive o seu.

Sem pedir. Sem avisar. Sem um único popup.

O Chrome baixou 4GB de modelo de inteligência artificial no seu disco. O arquivo se chama weights.bin, são os pesos do Gemini Nano. Fica numa pasta chamada OptGuideOnDeviceModel dentro do seu perfil do Chrome.

Você não autorizou nada. Até existe uma configuração para impedir, mas tá enterrada em submenus que ninguém encontra. E as AI features vêm ligadas por padrão.

Se você deletar o arquivo, o Chrome baixa de novo. Sozinho. Em silêncio. Você decide o que fica no seu disco e o navegador simplesmente ignora.

Funciona assim em Windows, macOS e Ubuntu. Logs forenses no macOS mostram que o arquivo foi instalado dia 24 de abril de 2026, misturado com patches de segurança. Desenvolvedores dizem que isso já rola há mais de um ano.

E tem um detalhe que deixa tudo mais ridículo:

O Chrome 147 coloca um botão "AI Mode" na barra de endereço. Você vê aquilo, sabe que tem modelo de IA no seu computador, e assume que suas buscas rodam localmente.

Não rodam. O AI Mode é 100% cloud. Tudo vai para os servidores do Google. O modelo de 4GB no seu disco não tem nada a ver com aquele botão.

Ele serve para quê? "Help me write" e detecção de scam. Coisas que vivem em submenus de clique-direito que você provavelmente nunca abriu.

O Google ocupou 4GB do seu disco sem pedir, para rodar coisas que quase ninguém usa, enquanto a IA que você de fato vê manda tudo para a nuvem.

Na Europa, pesquisadores já apontam violação do Artigo 5(3) da Diretiva ePrivacy, que exige consentimento antes de armazenar software no dispositivo do usuário.

Como desativar:

→ chrome://flags
→ Busque "Optimization Guide On Device Model"
→ Desative
→ Reinicie o Chrome
→ Delete a pasta OptGuideOnDeviceModel

Seu computador só é seu se você ficar de olho.

@Pokemon That was very shitty. You guys offer a premium service that already has tons of GBA games. Charging for this one was very greedy. It would be understandable if it was a physical version, but a digital-only? Very hard to justify.

@Nexon_America hey guys, I am stuck in this screen here when trying to create my account. None of these fields work and I can't proceed without filling them. I tried on my mac Firefox, OperaGX, Safari (all recent releases), and Chrome on Android (my smartphone), nothing.

[Arthur Lucena @arthurlucena]

@Sudhanshu1414 This looks so generic. Genuinely disappointed. I love my OnePlus 12 and it's green kitchen theme.

[Arthur Lucena @arthurlucena]

@PlayOverwatch please bring motion control on PS5 🙏🏻

[Arthur Lucena @arthurlucena]

@NintendoAmerica Guys, this is great, but can you add Xenoblade? Please?

[Arthur Lucena @arthurlucena]

@NintendoAmerica Bring Xenoblade and Astral Chain for god's sake! The world needs to listen to these OST.

[Arthur Lucena @arthurlucena]

@Lbabinz Man, Nintendo for god's sake, bring Xenoblade, Astral Chain, etc. Who's waking up on a Tuesday and saying "man, I wish I could listen to CLUB HOUSE 51 GAMES WORLDWIDE CLASSICS SOUNDTRACK" lol (that said, I am gonna give it a try).

[Arthur Lucena @arthurlucena]

@SandfallGames it's been impossible to get my hands on a physical copy of CL:E33, guys. It's been dripping here and there at BestBuy here in Canada, but sell out and a minute of so. #help

@FirstDescendant Can we have gyro/motion control for aiming on PS5?

[Arthur Lucena @arthurlucena]

@FirstDescendant When can we have gyro controls for aim?

[Rodrigo A Cavalcante @rodrigoa_c]

@Lbabinz do you have any information if Real Canadian Superstore or @ShopprsDrugMart will have stock of the Switch 2? I would love to use my PC points to purchase it.

[Arthur Lucena @arthurlucena]

@Obsessive_Gamer @Lbabinz I got most of my games from them. Also got my PS5 on a redemption point events where I only paid the tax (500k points that became $700). It was the absolute best way to buy games.

[Arthur Lucena @arthurlucena]

@Lbabinz Really sad news. I got 90% of my library of games from them, and also got my PS5 only paying taxes (redemption points event). I have currently 1kk points saved for the Switch 2 but I guess I will have to use with something else and abandon the program entirely.

[Arthur Lucena @arthurlucena]

I want to win tickets to @JamesBlunt from @Indie88Toronto! You can too: https://t.co/5w7SG50UFr

[Arthur Lucena @arthurlucena]

@FirstDescendant How come there is no motion control on PS5?
