AI-assisted tools have made it far easier to turn long‑ignored bugs in decades-old code into critical exploits — exemplified by the PHP2Shell case, where researchers used AI to weaponize an out‑of‑memory crash in PHP. The incident highlights 40 years of technical debt in legacy software and argues for more funding, AI-enabled auditing, and formal verification to help defenders patch vulnerabilities faster.

Window Sweaters (github.com)

Window Sweaters is a small open-source macOS app that draws knitted, customizable borders (“sweaters”) around app windows with per-app colourways and patterns. It’s installable via Homebrew or from source, includes many built-in styles and customization files, requires Accessibility permission, and uses private macOS APIs so may be fragile across system updates.
