**STAY WOKE: The Hidden Truth Behind Your Steam Deck’s ‘Idle’ Processing Power**
A deep-web whisper network has unearthed a chilling function buried in the Steam Deck’s custom AMD Aerith APU—a background process labeled “Cortex-Shadow_Rev” that activates during standby, silently harvesting GPU cycles for a decentralized compute cluster. The code traces back to a shell company linked to a former Valve hardware architect who vanished in 2021.
**The hidden truth?** Your portable gaming haven isn’t just for Elden Ring—it’s a node in a clandestine blockchain mining operation, rerouting idle teraflops to a mysterious entity known only as “Project Steamglass.” Valve has yet to comment. Check your deck’s resource monitor under “Suspended Processes.” You won’t find it in the UI.
**Stay woke.** Your gaming rig might be mining for ghosts.
