A researcher demonstrated that an unsanitized Twitch chat overlay running as an OBS Browser Source could let a viewer inject JavaScript into OBS's embedded Chromium browser. Because that Chromium build shipped in OBS 32.2.2 ran without its sandbox and included a V8 engine still vulnerable to the already-exploited CVE-2024-7971, the researcher was able to turn a single chat message into full code execution on the streamer's machine, using default OBS settings.
A commentary piece challenges Nikole Hannah-Jones's viral essay about sending her daughter to a high-poverty, majority-black public school in New York City. It contends the school actually received unusually high per-pupil funding of $52,349 and a 1:10 faculty-student ratio, and cites unsupervised lunchroom fighting, fabricated homework, and inflated grades that Hannah-Jones allegedly overlooked.
At Meta Connect, the company showcased an unreleased line of audio-only smart glasses featuring six microphones but no camera, focused on music playback and hands-free calls.

A web-based compiler combines any base font (like Inter or Roboto) with a chosen tokenizer (such as DeepSeek, GPT tokenizers, or Llama 3) to produce a 'token-space font' where every token occupies the same visual width. Users can preview text in the browser, upload custom fonts or tokenizers via Hugging Face links, and export compiled fonts, with an optional 'lite mode' for smaller file sizes.
TiddlyInstall is a browser-based tool that generates installers for apps across Windows, macOS and Linux from a single project. It can produce offline installers packed entirely in the browser, and for compiled languages it downloads and installs toolchains like Go, Rust, Zig or Nim locally into the app's folder to build the project on the user's machine rather than requiring a pre-built binary.

Reuters and 404 Media reported that Meta's newly launched Muse AI agent, which was beta-tested to make phone calls to businesses on users' behalf, sometimes routed those calls to trained human agents in call centers instead of completing them autonomously. Internal Meta records reportedly described this as adding a 'human agent layer' for 'Muse human agent calls,' and some employees internally flagged concerns about negative press over the disclosure gap.
