Summary

The episode covers a Pix betting scam that affected thousands of people, the removal of the R$500 limit for contactless Pix, and Microsoft’s rollout of Windows 11 26H2. It also reports on Google’s Gemini 4 Argon, price increases for Samsung’s Galaxy S26 line in Brazil, and the delay of Brazilian game 171. Other stories include Brazil’s new center for reports of digital crimes against minors, Airbnb’s AI travel-planning features, Samsung’s open-ear Galaxy Buds, and Xbox’s physical-disc-to-digital-license conversion feature.

Key points

Contactless Pix payments can exceed R$500 once users manually raise the limit in their bank app; the change is rolling out gradually.
Fake betting platforms reportedly blocked withdrawals and demanded bogus fees; one analyzed database contained data from over 3.6 million people.
Windows 11 26H2 adds Start menu customization, File Explorer improvements, taskbar repositioning, and accessibility updates, with a gradual rollout.
Google announced Gemini 4 Argon, currently available only to selected cybersecurity partners; its benchmark results were presented by Google and still need large-scale independent evaluation.
Samsung raised Galaxy S26 prices in Brazil, with the 1TB Galaxy S26 Ultra increasing by R$1,300; the report links the hikes to pressure on memory supply.
The final version of Brazilian game 171 is now expected in 2027, with the studio citing the need for more development time and the death of its founder.
Brazil’s new CNCA will receive and route reports of potential digital crimes against minors, but will not monitor users or access confidential information.
Airbnb announced AI-assisted travel planning and other services, but its AI-powered planning feature launched only in the United States for now.

00:00 Phantom withdrawal scam. Pix fraud in betting hits over 3,000 people. Contactless Pix now allows payments over R $ 500. Check out how to adjust it. Physical to digital disc conversion on Xbox One and Xbox Series S/X is now available to everyone. Microsoft releases Windows 11 24H2. Find out what changes and how to install the update. Google announces Gemini 4 Argon and claims it’s as powerful as Claude/GPT

00:31 . Galaxy S25, S25 Plus, and Ultra get up to R $ 13,300 more expensive in Brazil. Brazilian game 171 is delayed after the death of the studio’s founder . Brazil gets a hub to combat digital crimes against minors. Airbnb gets AI trip planning plus more new features. Samsung launches Galaxy Buds in an earring format. I’m Amanda Flor, your host tonight on Today in Tech Mundo, your daily tech show that starts after

01:02 the engaging intro our editor is going to put on for us. Roll it, editor. >> There’s news for contactless Pix. The Central Bank has ended the R $ 500 limit for payments made by tapping your phone on the card machine. The change takes effect this Thursday, the 1st, and allows the user to set a higher limit through their bank app. In other words, that purchase over R $ 500 that

01:33 used to force you to use a QR Code, another type of Pix, can now be done just by tapping your phone, provided the new limit is set. But there is an important detail, because this increase doesn’t happen automatically. You need to enter your bank app, look for the Pix area, and adjust the limits manually once the option is available. The feature is still being released gradually in Tech Mundo tests with Caixa, Nubank, and Itaú. The specific setting for contactless Pix still

02:05 didn’t appear. The function uses NFC and can work through the bank’s own app or digital wallets like Google Wallet. A scam involving fake betting platforms is promising to turn deposits of 20 or 30 reais into thousands, but the money simply never appears. An investigation by security firm Zinox found sites like Maxbet 7K, MaxBT 7K, and Newbet 7K being advertised on social media. After

02:37 the victim deposits the money, the platform blocks the withdrawal and invents a supposed R $ 30 fee to release the funds. But even the QR code used for this charge is fake. So the payment is never confirmed and the money remains stuck. This scam goes beyond financial loss, because one of the databases analyzed had data from over 3.6 million people, including names, emails, phone numbers, fictitious balances, and transaction histories. In another database, for example, there were over 107 million

03:08 Brazilian reais registered across 415 accounts, with a large portion of the deposits remaining pending. The recommendation for those who fell for the scam is to immediately contest the Pix transaction through the special return mechanism, the MED 2.0, save receipts, and report the case. And watch out for the scam within the scam. With the leaked data, criminals may show up later, promising to recover the money in exchange for another fee. Microsoft has started rolling out Windows 11 26H2, the major 2026 update

03:40 for the operating system. The package brings a redesigned Start menu with more customization options, improvements to File Explorer, and even a taskbar that can be repositioned on the desktop. The Task Manager now also shows information related to AI activities, while system search gets new file previews and the lock screen can receive more widgets. There are also accessibility updates, such as improvements to the magnifier, voice

04:11 access, the narrator, and Braille support. Microsoft is distributing the update gradually, so it may not have appeared on your PC yet, but to check, just open Settings, go to Windows Update, and select “Check for updates.” Those already on Windows 11 25H2 keep the same hardware requirements to receive the new version. Google announced Gemini 4 Argon, the first model of the new Gemini 4 generation and, according to the company, the most

04:42 advanced artificial intelligence system it has ever created. The promise is to tackle complex and time-consuming tasks , especially programming, data analysis , legal and financial work, and defense against digital attacks. The model can also generate up to 1 million tokens in a single trajectory. A huge leap compared to the 64,000 of the previous generation. But hold on, you won’t be able to open Google and chat with Argon yet, because for now, the model is only

05:12 available to selected cybersecurity partners within the Fairwind program. While Google works on security mechanisms against abuse and prompt attacks, the company released benchmarks in which the model appears at the top or tied with competitors. But these results are based on tests presented by Google itself and still need to be evaluated independently on a large scale. When it arrives commercially, the forecast is for prices starting at $ 5 per million input tokens and $ 10 per million

05:44 output tokens. If you were waiting for a deal on the Galaxy S26, you might want to sit down before checking the prices, because Samsung has adjusted the prices for the Galaxy S26 line in Brazil, with increases reaching R $ 1,300 for the 1TB Galaxy S26 Ultra. The model went from R $ 15,499 to 16,799. The 256GB and 512GB S26 Ultra models went up by R $ 500, while the Galaxy

06:15 S26 Plus also became R $ 500 more expensive in both versions. The standard Galaxy S26 had the smallest increase of R $ 300, and according to the report, the hike is linked to a memory supply crisis, primarily caused by strong demand from AI data centers. And this isn’t an isolated problem for Samsung, as other electronics have also been getting more expensive, including Kindle, Echo, Fire TV, Nintendo Switch

06:47 2, and some PC components. Samsung itself estimates that pressure on the memory market could continue until 2028 , while manufacturers of other components are also warning of tighter supply. The Brazilian game 171, known as a sort of Brazilian GTA, has been delayed once again, and Beta Games Group has decided that the final version shouldn’t leave early access until 2027, because the campaign still needs more development time. The studio

07:18 claims it would be possible to launch the game this year, but it would require cutting missions and delivering an incomplete story. And honestly, after such a long wait, no one wants that infamous half-baked launch. The new delay also comes at a difficult time for the team following the death of Diogo Morais, founder of Beta Games Group and one of the people directly involved in the creation of 171 from its earliest years. The studio also took into account the arrival of GTA 6 and decided to avoid a highly competitive launch window. In the

07:51 meantime, 171 remains available in early access on Steam, featuring an open world inspired by São Paulo, vehicles, jobs, legal and criminal activities, and over 20 updates released since the arrival of the Alpha . The Brazilian government has created the National Center for the Protection of Children and Adolescents, the CNCA, which will serve as a hub to receive, classify, and forward reports related to potential crimes against minors in the digital environment. The structure

08:22 is part of the implementation of the digital Child and Adolescent Statute ( ECA) and will receive reports from tech companies, forwarding cases to agencies such as the police, the Public Prosecutor’s Office, Public Defenders, and the ANPD. Situations considered to be of credible, imminent, or ongoing risk must be reported within 12 hours. The new structure also establishes deadlines for other types of reports and creates an integrated task force to combat organized crime in the cyber environment within the Federal Police.

08:53 However, it will not be authorized to monitor users or access information protected by confidentiality. Reports will have restricted, auditable access, and personal data of minors cannot be disclosed. The idea is to create a more organized path so that reports made through digital platforms reach the responsible authorities quickly. Airbnb is integrating artificial intelligence into virtually every step of travel planning. The platform now allows

09:24 searching for stays, experiences, and services using natural language and even voice, while AI can generate detailed listing descriptions and compare accommodations side-by-side. Filters have also been improved, and customer service now offers support in over 50 languages. The company also announced a social feature that lets you discover where people you know have traveled, where they stayed, or what experiences they booked, provided they choose to share that information. There

09:57 is just a small detail for those in Brazil, as AI-powered travel planning has started exclusively in the United States and does not yet have a release date here. Airbnb also announced new services, including meal, grocery, laundry, and baby item delivery, plus smart tools to help hosts with pricing and earnings analysis. Samsung has fully joined the open-ear headphone trend with the Galaxy Buds, a model that literally attaches to the ear like a small earring and does not block the

10:29 ear canal. The goal is to allow users to keep listening to music while being more aware of the sounds around them. Something quite interesting for those who walk, work, or spend a lot of time wearing headphones. The battery promises up to 9.5 hours of continuous playback, and the device features touch controls on the frame itself. The Buds also rely on different command features , including head gestures to answer calls or dismiss alarms. There are three microphones and a bone conduction

10:59 sensor to help identify the voice during calls, in addition to Galaxy AI and Gemini Live integration. The model does not have active noise cancellation , which is expected for this type of open design. The launch is set for October 27 in South Korea, for about $ 100 in direct conversion, but Samsung has not yet revealed when it will reach other countries. There is interesting news for those who still keep their collection of Xbox discs. Microsoft has begun rolling out to all players the feature that turns compatible physical

11:31 games into digital licenses linked to the account. You insert the disc into the Xbox One or Xbox Series X, perform the conversion, and then you can start the game without needing to keep the disc inside the console. The physical disc continues to exist and can be used normally, sold, or donated, while the digital license passes to the new owner once they perform the conversion process. This feature can also unlock digital version benefits, such as Xbox Play Anywhere support, or access to

12:01 streaming for certain titles. There are over 1,500 games already appearing in community databases as compatible or potentially compatible, including some titles that are no longer for sale in the digital store. Microsoft says the new feature is part of their game preservation efforts and provides more flexibility for the libraries players have built over the years. And it didn’t just happen in the history of technology on October 1st. Welcome, October. But back in 1969, Intel

12:32 launched its first product as a manufacturer, a 1 KB memory chip, the humble beginning of one of the world’s largest semiconductor companies. Then in 2006, as the patent Unisys held on the compression algorithm expired, the GIF format became completely free, decades after it had already become an internet craze. Today is International Music Day and National Senior Citizens Day. A hug to all who are grandparents and parents. Give your grandparents and parents a hug, and welcome to October.
