GitHub’s OAuth apps get short-lived tokens, multiple callbacks — and a wildcard setting worth auditing

GitHub OAuth apps can now use eight-hour access tokens with rotating refresh tokens, register up to 10 callback URLs, and explicitly control wildcard callback matching. New apps default to expiring tokens, while existing single-callback apps should review a legacy wildcard setting GitHub has now made visible.

GitHub Copilot is moving enterprise seats to upfront billing and longer chat retention

From September and October, Copilot Business and Enterprise seat access becomes more tightly coupled to upfront payment. A separate September 28 policy migration enables a unified Copilot experience by default, retains github.com chat data for the life of the account and changes code review’s default effort from Lite to Balanced.

Docker Desktop is replacing its third-party VM layer with Docker VMM

Docker VMM gives Docker direct control over Desktop’s hidden Linux-VM layer and is still targeted to become the default for new installs at GA. The August 24 Desktop 4.88 release is an important beta signal: it fixes a severe inbound-network-throughput regression and removes a 28 GiB Mac memory ceiling, reinforcing the need for workload-specific testing before standardisation.

ChatGPT Ads expands self-service globally as targeting, measurement and campaign tooling deepen

ChatGPT Ads is moving from beta inventory toward a global performance-ad stack. OpenAI has expanded self-service buying and says optimized bidding is now the majority of campaigns, while new audience, measurement and workflow controls increase both scale and attribution complexity.

Reddit’s tracked share of ChatGPT Search citations fell 86% in mid-August

A third-party GEO dataset recorded an 86.4% relative collapse in Reddit’s visible ChatGPT Search citation share while Google AI citation changes were much smaller. The result is a useful warning against building an AI-discovery strategy around one source platform, not proof of an OpenAI penalty or Reddit removal.

ChartMogul finds standard SaaS LTV forecasts miss actual cohort revenue by more than 50% nearly three times in ten

The median SaaS LTV forecast looks almost right at 12 months, but that average hides huge misses in both directions. For acquisition budgets, payback planning and company valuation, ChartMogul’s new 3,331-company analysis argues for treating LTV as a directional indicator rather than a precise revenue forecast.

Sign in with Apple is moving new relay addresses to private.icloud.com

Apple has narrowed an earlier plan to unify Sign in with Apple and iCloud+ Hide My Email domains: only new Sign in with Apple relay addresses are moving to `private.icloud.com`, while Hide My Email stays on `icloud.com`. Existing relay addresses continue working, making this a compatibility migration rather than an address replacement.

Reddit is moving third-party apps off its Public Data API and onto Developer Platform

Reddit has made the direction of its API platform explicit: existing API apps should register now, with an August 30 cutoff for possible $1,000 porting-bounty eligibility and a broader September 30 registration request. The actual migration is later, but builders need to inventory dependencies and missing Devvit capabilities now.

A preregistered field experiment finds Google’s AI search reduces publisher clicks

The study moves the AI-search traffic debate beyond observational correlations: participants were randomly assigned to current Google Search, a version with AI features hidden, or AI Mode-only search during ordinary browsing. It is still a preprint and does not establish effects for every query or publisher.

Produktly’s 464-product dataset puts median SaaS tour completion at 29%

The strongest signal in Produktly’s 2026 onboarding dataset is not a universal target but a set of usable baselines: median tour completion was 29%, 1–2-step tours completed far more often than 9+ step tours, in-app NPS response rates were low, and announcement attention was heavily front-loaded. The report explicitly discloses sample and causal limitations.
