Daily brief

Tuesday, June 2, 2026

Five-ish things that survived the smell test. 5 to act on · 1 to test · 3 to monitor · 1 to skip.

Act

5

Address the critical Windows Server vulnerability immediately, as it allows system privilege escalation via a single malformed packet and is actively exploited. source
Be aware that GitHub Copilot shifted to usage-based pricing for organizations, and free AI credits are reportedly being exhausted quickly. source
Note that Strava is restricting API access and implementing an $11.99 monthly developer subscription fee starting June 1, 2026. source
Vercel released Elastic Build Machines that automatically adjust memory for builds, preventing Out-of-Memory (OOM) failures. source
Noctua has launched the NT-CP1 thermal pad designed for AMD Ryzen CPUs in AM5 and AM4 sockets, a new option for thermal management. source

Test

1

Try JetBrains' Mellum2, a new 12B Mixture-of-Experts model now available on Hugging Face for efficient inference tasks. source

Monitor

3

Ignore

1

Ignore the premature hype around Nvidia's RTX Spark and Windows' 'M1 moment' narratives; these chips are just entering the market. source
