Few months ago I found that Telegram Plus uses accounts that connect through their client to give themselves reaction on their Telegram channel.

I checked the logs on the app, you can see that as soon as I click download the file to update the app, a reaction is immediately sent.

This is done only in channel versions to have some statistics about downloads and installations, and verify that updates are working as expected. You can install Play Store release to avoid this.
Anyway, we can add an option to disable/enable this behavior so you can decide if you want to collaborate with this statistics or not

Here's how Axios npm was compromised

GitHub Copilot inserted advertisements in pull requests

GitHub Copilot inserted ads promoting Raycast, Slack, Teams and itself in more than 11000 pull requests.

Technically, these were not ads but just "tips" by Copilot, as the raw data included a hidden HTML comment, "START COPILOT CODING AGENT TIPS."

This "bug" was introduced on March 24, when Copilot's abilities were expanded. Martin Woodward blamed it on a "programming logic issue" and tips have now been turned off permanently.

Your first look at the iOS 27 ColorOS 17

So the ColorOS 17 screenshots are just fake images, made by designer on Weibo

That's a relief now.

Telegram will let users know whether the user they are interacting with uses an unofficial client and thus their messages sent to them may be less secure.

YouTube removed NVIDIA DLSS 5 trailer due to copyright!

La7, an Italian television channel has used footage from Nvidia DLSS 5 Trailer and then sent a copyright strike to every YouTube video that supposedly used “their footage”, including Nvidia themselves. YouTube then simply took down Nvidia’s own DLSS 5 announcement video.

The Content Detection System of YouTube is so broken that anyone can simply claim ownership of any video on YouTube and the company would still issue a copyright notice to the original maker
