Today's 4 Rapid-Fire Tips

1. Zelda: Ocarina of Time — 5.2 MILLION in 4 days 🏆 The Switch 2 remake of the 1998 N64 classic sold over 5.2 million copies worldwide in its first four days — the fastest-selling Nintendo-published Switch 2 game ever. Grandpa's game, repainted, and it's breaking records on brand-new hardware. (810,000 of those copies were in Japan.)

2. Chrome's 8th exploited zero-day of 2026 🔓 Google patched nine Chrome flaws, including CVE-2026-125350 — actively exploited in the wild. That's the EIGHTH exploited Chrome zero-day this year, matching all of 2025's total with two months still on the calendar. Update Chrome tonight: Settings → About Chrome, let it relaunch.

3. Microsoft's "Lazarus" sleeper-agent trick 🤖 Microsoft researchers showed that rewriting fewer than 10 rarely-used neurons in an AI model can backdoor any agent built on it — no retraining, no poisoned data — and the tampered agent still passes safety tests. It's a defensive research disclosure, but the lab-grown scarier door is real.

4. Spotify AI DJ: 9 new voices + a MUTE button 🔇 Spotify Premium users get nine new DJ voices (Australian, Irish, British and more) — plus an option to turn off the commentary between songs entirely. Nine new voices, and the best one is silence.
