Hibbert, who faced possible blindness from the 11mm tumor, recovered quickly and has since returned to work.

In court filings cited by The Guardian, attorneys for Andrew and Tristan Tate acknowledged that the brothers' displays of extreme wealth—rented supercars, a promotional yacht, and boasted income figures—were largely fabricated for social media engagement. The admission came as the brothers face extradition proceedings from Romania to the UK over serious criminal allegations.
Biorobotics researchers at the University of Queensland and biomedical engineers at UNSW have created 'paraborgs'—giant burrowing cockroaches equipped with cameras and miniature auto-injection systems. In tests, the insects hit targets with injections 95% of the time when within 15cm, and completed the full navigate-and-inject sequence successfully in 72% of trials.
Microsoft has begun rolling out a permanent fix for a bug that crashed Windows 11 systems and broke games like ARC Raiders, MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls, and The Finals. The root cause was traced to the inpoutx64.sys driver, often bundled with RGB lighting peripherals, rather than the August 2026 update initially suspected. The update, which started propagating on August 26, 2026, automatically blocks the faulty driver and requires a restart to take effect.
