Do any tech streamers try new software live? It'd be a really fun way of doing UX testing.

I find it really interesting how some areas of tech are widely expected to improve radically (e.g. LLMs and smart home tech), others gradually (CPU speed, battery capacity) and others very slowly (e.g. compiler optimisations). Predicting the future is hard.

It is remarkably hard to escape command line arguments safely on Windows, and the standard libraries of multiple languages have needed patching:

BatBadBut: You can't securely execute commands on Windows
Introduction Hello, I’m RyotaK ( @ryotkak ), a security engineer at Flatt Security Inc. Recently, I reported multiple vulnerabilities to several programming languages that allowed an attacker to perform command injection on Windows when the specific conditions were satisfied. Today, affected vendors published advisories of these vulnerabilities , so I’m documenting the details here to provide more information about the vulnerabilities and minimize the confusion regarding the high CVSS score. TL;DR The BatBadBut is a vulnerability that allows an attacker to perform command injection on Windows applications that indirectly depend on the CreateProcess function when the specific conditions are satisfied.
