Microsoft are removing the Copilot integrations in Notepad, Snipping Tool etc in Windows.

Turns out telling PMs to bake Copilot into everything was a dumb idea.

According to Microsoft MVP Steven Lim, the page has claimed nearly 1,500 victims in 12 days.

A Politico story out today describes how Oura wearable rings are winning over Washington, but makes no real mention of their privacy or security risks.

But... in my piece about Oura rings from last year, I explain how Oura puts user data at risk from goverment agencies (like ICE), and hackers.

• Oura data isn't end-to-end encrypted
• Sensitive health data can be accessed by Oura staff
• Oura said it has received government demands for user data.

The U.S. social media landscape is quietly reshaping itself. Between 2020 and
2024, overall platform use slipped, driven by a rise in the population – especially
the youngest and oldest – who no longer use social media at all. The old
incumbents – Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter/X – have lost ground, while
TikTok and Reddit have expanded modestly.
