EP214 ​This week's update whirls us around the living room for a collection of stories demonstrating that your privacy and security are nothing to be taken for granted.

The EU prepares to take a tough stance on insecure software.
We meet the next new secret agent and speculate that it could be a very lucrative new job role.
From there we learn the new numbers for Google's AI generated code and then have an update on a new open source LLM that checks for Zero days in Python code.
