Tech Landscape: Latest Updates (March 13, 2026)

While we maintain these legacy guides, the tech world is moving fast today. Here are the 5 biggest updates from Friday, March 13, 2026:

  • Microsoft "Copilot Health" Launch: Microsoft officially launched Copilot Health today. This AI-powered tool integrates medical records, data from over 50 wearable devices, and health history to help users identify health patterns and prepare for doctor visits.

  • Ontario Privacy & FOI Overhaul: Minister Stephen Crawford announced a major modernization of Ontario's 40-year-old privacy framework today. The new rules introduce mandatory cyber security standards for schools and hospitals, while also excluding cabinet ministers' records from Freedom of Information (FOI) requests.

  • March 2026 Patch Tuesday: Earlier this week (March 10), Microsoft released critical security updates for 84 vulnerabilities. Key fixes addressed "zero-click" remote code execution flaws in Microsoft Office (CVE-2026-26110) that could be triggered simply by using the Outlook Preview Pane.

  • NASA’s DART Mission Breakthrough: New data released by NASA today confirms that the DART impact successfully changed an entire asteroid system's orbit around the sun. This provides the first verified proof that humans can intentionally "nudge" celestial bodies for planetary defense.

  • Firefox ESR 115 Support Extension: In a win for legacy systems (like those still running Windows 7), Mozilla confirmed that security support for Firefox ESR 115 is officially extended through August 2026, providing a secure browsing window for aging PCs.
