HASHTAG NOT MY CLIPPY

Microsoft lets Office users move the floating Copilot button after backlash - https://www.theverge.com/news/935967/microsoft-copilot-floating-button-office-excel-apps-removal

This comes after extreme user backlash - https://www.neowin.net/news/office-users-hated-the-new-copilot-button-now-microsoft-is-changing-it/

Excel, Word and Powerpoint affected - https://videocardz.com/newz/microsoft-will-let-office-users-remove-floating-copilot-button-from-word-excel-and-powerpoint-and-move-it-elsewhere

Microsoft did try and save face by saying there was engagement - https://www.windowscentral.com/artificial-intelligence/microsoft-copilot/microsoft-admits-forcing-the-floating-copilot-button-on-office-users-was-a-mistake-but-engagement-went-up-anyway

Which conclusively proves that the IS an amount of rage that can cause microsoft to make incremental improvements to their software

This comes alongside an announcement that Microsoft’s Copilot marketing chief Yusuf Mehdi is leaving, after helping “imagine windows into it’s agentic phase” - https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft/microsofts-copilot-marketing-chief-is-leaving-but-not-before-defining-a-radical-agentic-future-for-windows

GIT YER HANDS OFFA MY CODE

Github has just suffered a major data breach at the hands of notorious Hacker group team PCP - https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2026/05/a-hacker-group-is-poisoning-open-source-code-at-an-unprecedented-scale/

The breach was introduced via a malicious VSCode extension that gave the hackers access to all of Github’s internal code - https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/github-confirms-breach-of-3-800-repos-via-malicious-vscode-extension/

QUOTE - The hacking group has the code up for auction saying the largest bid gets the code and if no buyer is found they’ll release it for free - https://lmg.gg/Htcmd

Luckily for users it seems that no user code and only github’s code has been compromised - https://www.sophos.com/en-us/blog/github-internal-repositories-breached

Unfortunately for all of us TeamPCP is an expert at supply chain attacks, and using compromised code to introduce vulnerabilities into other code systems - https://www.wired.com/story/teampcp-software-supply-chain-attack-spree-github/

And given that GitHub is unsure of how long TeamPCP had access to their systems, it’s entirely possible that threat vectors stemming from this hack will happen in the future - https://www.helpnetsecurity.com/2026/05/20/github-breached-teampcp/

DONT LET HACKERS RAY TRACE YOU

NVIDIA is urging its GPU owners to update their drivers immediately because your graphics card is currently rendering a massive security nightmare. https://www.techradar.com/pro/security/nvidia-tells-users-to-update-gpu-drivers-now-or-face-possible-attack-heres-what-we-know

NVIDIA has released a software security update for its GPU Display Driver patching 14 vulnerabilities discussed in their recent security bulletin. The flaws affect GeForce, RTX, Quadro, Tesla, NVS, plus vGPU and Cloud Gaming software - which is to say, basically every Nvidia product that isn't a leather jacket.

https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5821

The biggest threat is a memory flaw scoring a scary 8.8 out of 10 for danger. If a hacker already has a foothold on your machine, this bug rolls out the red carpet to your files, your privileges, and a full system takeover.

https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/416.html

Update your drivers ASAP to the latest version: 596.36 for modern GeForce GPUs and 582.53 or newer for GTX 10-series and older. Linux users should also pull the newest fixed version for whichever driver branch you're on.

META’S RUNNING OUT OF IDEAS

Meta has released Forum, a Reddit-like app that pulls your Facebook Groups into a dedicated feed and, naturally, requires a Facebook account to use. https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/new-meta-app-forum-brings-your-facebook-groups-together-one-feed/

https://helios-i.mashable.com/imagery/articles/04jkgfwMKrhZhyMHlGF8grM/hero-image.fill.size_1248x702.v1779430795.png

It launches as Meta cuts 8,000 jobs to fund its AI push - apparently with enough efficiency gains left over to ship an additional app no one asked for.

CHEATERS GET BRICKED

Riot's updated Vanguard anti-cheat can apparently kill hardware cheaters plug into PCs to hide hacks.

https://www.pcgamesn.com/valorant/vanguard-update-bricking-pcs-riot-response

On Twitter, Riot taunted a disgruntled cheater with "congrats on a brand new $6k paperweight," making it sound like Vanguard was bricking whole PCs.

https://x.com/riotgames/status/2057604027941302564

Riot has since clarified only the cheat hardware gets bricked - normal PCs are fine.

NO EAVESDROPPING IN VC

Huge privacy win as Discord has officially enabled end-to-end encryption for voice and video calls for all users. https://www.pcgamer.com/hardware/discord-just-got-the-privacy-feature-it-probably-should-have-had-for-years-introducing-end-to-end-encryption-for-very-nearly-every-voice-and-video-call/

On their Blog Discord writes “End-to-end Encryption is now standard…outside of stage channels. No opt-in required.”

However Discord has no plans to change text messages citing discord features that got built assuming no text encryption .

THE AI “BAND” WAGON

Spotify and Universal Music Group struck a deal letting Premium subscribers pay extra to use AI to generate fan-made covers and remixes of UMG songs. https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/21/spotify-and-universal-music-strike-deal-allowing-fan-made-ai-covers-and-remixes/

Artists have to opt in for their songs to be used and they get a revenue share when they do, making this Spotify's licensed answer to Suno. https://www.billboard.com/pro/spotify-and-umg-strike-licensing-deal-for-ai-covers-remixes/
