Someone built a fitness app using the same psychological mechanics as gambling - briefly
(hx) 09:27 AM CEST - May,13 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)
A new iPhone fitness app called Steppa (Steppa on the App Store) lets users bet money on hitting 10,000 daily steps, with winners splitting the cash from those who miss out. Unlike typical apps that use streaks or reminders, Steppa relies on financial fear and peer pressure for motivation—users have raced around neighborhoods near midnight to avoid losing bets. It pulls step data straight from Apple Health for tracking, and those who complete challenges share the prize pool while losers simply forfeit their entry fee with no extra penalties.

Stardew Valley May Let You Cheat on Your Spouse - briefly
(hx) 09:21 AM CEST - May,13 2026 - Post a comment
Stardew Valley creator ConcernedApe is considering a future update that would allow players to cheat on their in-game spouses. He believes sandbox games should let players "do wicked things" for more freedom and dramatic stories. The game already lets you date and marry villagers, face jealousy if you date multiple people, and divorce with penalties—but no married infidelity yet.

Valve's New Steam Controller Scares Itself with a Wilhelm Scream - briefly

Valve's refreshed Steam Controller has a hilarious hidden easter egg: drop it about three feet onto a soft surface in Big Picture Mode, and its haptic motors sometimes play the classic Wilhelm scream. The feature triggers roughly once every 5-6 drops with a short cooldown, using vibrations instead of a speaker for the sound. It was first spotted by Reddit user RF3D19, who shared proof after tossing their controller onto a bed.

NVIDIA Releases GeForce 596.49 WHQL Game Ready Drivers - tech

NVIDIA has released the GeForce 596.49 WHQL Game Ready Driver with day-one support for upcoming titles Forza Horizon 6, Directive 8020, and Subnautica 2.

It brings full DLSS Super Resolution, DLSS Multi Frame Generation, and ray tracing optimizations, especially powerful on RTX 50-series GPUs.

Other improvements include smoother DLSS Frame Generation with V-Sync and a fix for flickering in Foundry Mari 7.0.

Gamers should download the new driver for the best experience in these new releases.

BitUnlocker Downgrade Attack Bypasses TPM-Only Windows 11 BitLocker in Under 5 Minutes - tech
(hx) 10:04 PM CEST - May,12 2026 - Post a comment / read (2)
A new tool called BitUnlocker lets attackers with physical access bypass BitLocker encryption on fully patched Windows 11 devices in under 5 minutes. It exploits a downgrade attack using an old, still-trusted boot manager certificate (CVE-2025-48804), loading a modified recovery environment that decrypts the drive without alerts. The attack works on systems using TPM-only BitLocker but is blocked by TPM + PIN setups or newer certificate migrations. Users should enable a startup PIN and apply Microsoft's certificate migration update for protection.

My advice: if you need full-disk encryption, just use VeraCrypt instead. Seriously.

Sony May Cut PS6 Memory to 24GB to Fight Rising Costs - console
(hx) 04:00 PM CEST - May,12 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)
Sony is considering slashing the PlayStation 6's unified memory from a hoped-for 32GB down to 24GB due to ongoing memory shortages and high production costs. Leaker KeplerL2 suggests reducing the memory bus to 128-bit as a practical compromise that could save about $60 per unit on the bill of materials while improving chip yields. This change would simply involve disabling one memory controller on the SoC. Developers would reportedly prefer 24GB with slightly lower performance over bigger cuts like reduced storage.

Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines - The 1998 Stealth Classic That Still Sneaks Into Our Hearts - briefly
(hx) 03:04 PM CEST - May,12 2026 - Post a comment / read (2)
Back in 1998, Spanish studio Pyro Studios gave the world a WWII tactics gem that turned simple mouse clicks into nail-biting missions. You took control of elite commandos – a tough Green Beret, a deadly sniper, a clever spy – sneaking behind Nazi lines to sabotage, assassinate, and escape. Every patrol’s line of sight mattered, turning each level into a tense puzzle of timing and teamwork. Its gorgeous isometric graphics, crisp sounds, and realistic German voice clips felt worlds ahead of most games at the time. It sold over a million copies and became Spain’s biggest game series success, even 28 years later. Many of us first played it during late-night LAN parties, arguing strategies while shouting “oh shit” when a guard spotted us. Unlike today’s fast shooters, Commandos rewarded patience and clever thinking in its slow, beautiful world.

Teen Vibe-Codes a Running Game That Turns Streets Into Battlegrounds - briefly
(hx) 09:43 AM CEST - May,12 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)
A 16-year-old developer used Claude AI to build a fun running app in just a weekend. Users claim real city streets as territory by running through them, while others can overtake and steal those areas for ongoing competition. The app turns everyday neighborhoods into a live battlefield, giving runners a strong reason to get outside beyond just tracking stats. It adds friendly rivalry and excitement that many traditional fitness apps lack. Similar ideas already exist in apps like INTVL, but this quick AI-built version shows how easy it is for anyone to prototype creative fitness games now.

California Bill Fights "Server Shutdowns" for Bought Games - briefly
(hx) 12:10 AM CEST - May,12 2026 - Post a comment / read (2)
California's Assembly Bill 1921, known as the Protect Our Games Act, aims to protect gamers from sudden server shutdowns. For paid digital games sold after January 1, 2027, companies must give 60 days' notice and offer an offline patch or full refund if they end essential online services. The bill does not force companies to run servers forever but ensures buyers can still play the core game. The Entertainment Software Association opposes it, citing high costs, technical issues, and potential harm to innovation. Supporters, including the Stop Killing Games campaign, call it basic consumer protection for expensive purchases.

Apple Rolls Out iOS 26.5 with Pride Wallpaper, Secure RCS - tech
(hx) 11:13 PM CEST - May,11 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)

Apple has released iOS 26.5 today, a smaller update focused on new features and improvements. It adds a customizable Pride Luminance 2026 wallpaper with rainbow colors and many variations. The update brings end-to-end encryption for RCS messages with Android devices (in beta) for better privacy. Apple Maps now shows ads outside Europe, plus suggested places based on your searches. It also includes bug fixes, performance tweaks, and security updates.

In related news, Apple and Google have jointly announced the rollout of end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for RCS messaging between Apple and Android devices. When RCS messages are end-to-end encrypted, they can't be intercepted and read while in transit between devices, improving privacy and security. Encryption will be on by default and will be automatically enabled over time for new and existing RCS conversations. On both platforms, a small lock icon will confirm when an RCS chat is encrypted. The feature requires iOS 26.5 or, on Android, the latest version of the Google Messages app. It also requires carrier support. The two companies still describe the feature as in "beta". E2EE was officially added to the RCS standard a little over a year ago, and Apple pledged to support it at that time,

Steins;Gate Re:Boot Bans All Streaming and Gameplay Videos - briefly

MAGES has announced a strict ban on streaming, live commentary, and uploading any gameplay footage for the upcoming visual novel Steins;Gate Re:BOOT. The company says the game's narrative-driven story and major plot twists make public sharing unsuitable, though private personal use of in-game capture tools is allowed. This policy matches previous Steins;Gate titles and aims to protect the spoiler-free experience for players. The remake launches August 20, 2026, in Japan (with a Western release planned) featuring updated graphics, new voice acting, and an extra ending.

Fake DDR5 RAM with Plastic Chips Floods Markets - tech

Fake DDR5 memory sticks are flooding PC markets, especially in Asia, as RAM prices keep rising due to shortages and scalping. Counterfeit modules often look like real Samsung SO-DIMM sticks but use plastic dummy chips instead of actual DRAM. Buyers report rounded edges, wrong colors, mismatched chips, and non-working contacts on these fakes sold on sites like Yahoo Japan auctions. Many "junk" listings offer no returns, leaving people with dead systems after installation.

Google's New Anti-Fraud Tool Locks Out Privacy-Focused Android Users - tech
(hx) 06:43 PM CEST - May,10 2026 - Post a comment / read (3)
Google has a new system called Cloud Fraud Defense, which is the next version of reCAPTCHA, and has started rolling out to users

When the system detects risky web activity, it no longer shows the old picture puzzles where you pick out buses or traffic lights. Instead, it displays a QR code that you scan with your Android phone, but to pass the test your phone must have Google Play Services installed and running.

This change has been active since October 2025 based on support pages and old web records, and it blocks users of privacy-focused Android phones such as GrapheneOS, CalyxOS, and /e/OS because these phones remove Google services on purpose to provide stronger privacy and security.

The result is that millions of websites now treat these privacy phones as risky, so users must either add Google Play Services or stay locked out.

This is similar to Google’s 2023 Web Environment Integrity idea that wanted websites to check if devices were trustworthy through Google software.

That plan received heavy criticism from developers and privacy groups and was dropped, but the new QR code method does something very similar in a simpler way.

Website owners who use this system are now blocking people who chose to remove Google from their phones for better privacy.

Chrome's Secret 4GB AI Download? Easy Fix Found - tech
(hx) 02:53 PM CEST - May,10 2026 - Post a comment
Google Chrome has been quietly downloading a 4GB Gemini Nano AI model to users' PCs without asking, using up storage and bandwidth. Many people only noticed the large hidden file after it appeared on their drives.

A simple Windows 11 registry edit now blocks the download and removes the model by setting “GenAILocalFoundationalModelSettings” to 1 under the Chrome policies key. Windows Home users can instead turn off “On-device AI” in Chrome settings. Registry Settings to the rescue

To stop these AI model downloads for Edge and Chrome, you need to find the “GenAILocalFoundationalModelSettings” variable and switch it from “Allowed (0)” to “Disallowed (1)”. This will prevent the model from downloading and remove any previously downloaded models.
How to implement the edit for Chrome and Edge

Below is how to complete this edit on Edge

    Open Registry Editor (REGEDIT.msc)
    Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    Then: SOFTWARE
    Then: Policies
    Then: Microsoft
    Then: Edge
    Set the value of “GenAILocalFoundationalModelSettings” to 1

For Google Chrome, the process is similar

    Open Registry Editor (REGEDIT.msc)
    Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    Then: SOFTWARE
    Then: Policies
    Then: Google
    Then: Chrome
    Set the value of “GenAILocalFoundationalModelSettings” to 1

What about Windows 11 Home users?

In Google Chrome’s settings, users can disable “On-device AI”. Inside Chrome, navigate to settings, then System, and then toggle “On-device AI” to off. Doing so will prevent AI-based features that rely on Google’s models from working on Chrome, though it will free up storage space on your device.

If you choose to re-enable this setting, you will allow Google’s AI model to be downloaded and used. The time it takes to download will depend on your internet speed and the model’s size at that time.

The clip, shared by an AI news account, has sparked massive reactions—many users compare it to the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series and joke about polite car thieves or the mismatch with real Japanese life.
