With all the going’s on in London today, let’s take a brief moment to appreciate one of nature’s heroes. A swan had a fishing hook stuck in its mouth so one man took it upon himself to fit it. Legend 🦢

do you understand what just happened to your computer.. Google Chrome secretly downloaded a 4GB AI model onto your device. Without asking.. Without telling you.. It's called weights.bin. It lives deep in your system folders. It powers Gemini Nano - Google's on-device AI. And if you delete it? Chrome re-downloads it automatically. Like nothing happened. Just Google deciding your hard drive is their storage unit. At 1 billion Chrome users - that's 4 BILLION gigabytes of data pushed silently across the internet. The carbon footprint alone equals tens of thousands of cars running for a year. Check your disk right now: 📁 %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\OptGuideOnDeviceModel To stop it: chrome://flags → disable Optimization Guide On Device Model → restart Chrome → delete the folder. Reshare so people know what's sitting on their computers.
Google Chrome is quietly downloading a roughly 4 GB AI model to many users’ computers without clear upfront consent. The file, called weights.bin, is part of Google’s Gemini Nano on-device language model and lands in the browser’s user data folder under OptGuideOnDeviceModel. It powers built-in AI tools such as “Help me write,” smarter tab suggestions, on-device scam detection, and page summarization. The download triggers automatically for devices meeting minimum hardware requirements, and Chrome often replaces the files if deleted. While the model processes data locally, installation happens in the background with minimal notification. The scale is noteworthy. Hundreds of millions or billions of installations add up to thousands of tonnes of carbon emissions globally from data transfer, even though each is a one-time event. To prevent or remove it, go to chrome://flags, disable the entries for the optimization guide on-device model and Prompt API, restart the browser, and manually delete the folder.

It turns out that the new “Street Trading Consents” licence fees will also apply to the little roadside egg stands with honesty boxes. 😡 Let’s be honest about who this ridiculous new licensing affects. It’s usually small farms with a little wooden stand and an honesty box. Fresh eggs. Homemade jam, hardly a business. Or someone who bakes once a week because they truly enjoy it. A few cupcakes, a brownie, something homemade. There’s very little money in it — it’s passion, not profit. These aren’t big businesses dodging tax. They’re not corporations. They’re part of the fabric of our villages and towns. Life is hard enough right now. Instead of supporting local initiative and community spirit, they want to slap a licence fee on it. That’s not encouragement — that’s discouragement. And this is how it starts… Price out the little cake cupboards. Licence the honesty boxes. Charge the farm gate egg sellers. Before you know it, all that’s left are the big chains who can afford the fees, the paperwork, the red tape. Same shops. Same menus. Same everything. No character. No community. No local passion. We should be protecting the small, not squeezing them out. Because once they’re gone, they’re not coming back. LETS FIGHT THIS crazy new licence fee 🙏 #positivevibes #cakecupboard #honestybox #smallbusiness #council
