Microsoft Uses Sony's 2028 Disc Phase-Out to Promote Physical Copy of Halo on PS5

Microsoft is marketing Halo: Campaign Evolved on PS5 by highlighting the availability of a physical disc version. The company is using Sony's decision to end disc production from 2028 as a selling point, urging players to consider physical ownership. The move positions Microsoft as a champion of physical game media ahead of Sony's planned phase-out.

Should physical game copies remain available despite the rise of digital gaming?

Ducati enters off-road territory with a new dirt-focused motorcycle

Ducati, long associated with high-performance road bikes, is moving into off-road motorcycling with a new model. The Italian brand previously dabbled in adventure riding through models like the Multistrada, DesertX and Scrambler, but always with a polished, fast-road approach. The new project marks a more rugged, dirt-focused direction for the manufacturer.

Should Ducati expand into the off-road motorcycle segment?

Sony allows disc game orders beyond 2028 — but only for pre-cutoff releases

Sony has told developers they can still order physical disc copies of games beyond January 2028, but only if the game's release date falls before the company's cutoff. Titles launching after that deadline will not be eligible for disc production. The move effectively limits new physical releases to games already in the pipeline before the cutoff.

Should Sony phase out physical disc games entirely after 2028?

Trump spoke with Putin and Zelensky ahead of NATO summit in Ankara

US President Donald Trump held calls with Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday to discuss the war in Ukraine, ahead of a NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey. Peace negotiations remain deadlocked, with Moscow demanding Ukrainian forces withdraw from the Donetsk region — a condition Kyiv rejects. The NATO summit in Turkey is seen as another opportunity to push for a diplomatic breakthrough.

AI search agents fail not at searching but at asking the right clarifying questions

A new benchmark called DiscoBench reveals that AI search agents' main weakness is not the act of searching itself, but their failure to ask users for clarification when queries are ambiguous. Models that search repeatedly instead of asking follow-up questions score only 51.9% accuracy — worse than those that simply guess. The best-performing model reaches just 43% overall accuracy, but accuracy jumps by up to 40 percentage points when ambiguity is removed from queries.

Should AI search agents ask users for clarification more often instead of guessing?

Bed Bath & Beyond returns after 3 years — as an online-only brand

Bed Bath & Beyond, the American home goods retail chain, filed for bankruptcy three years ago and closed all its stores. New owners decided not to rebuild the physical store network, instead leveraging the brand's historical recognition to relaunch it in a new, digital format. The case shows that bankruptcy need not mean a permanent end — brand equity can survive even a full store closure.

Can a brand without physical stores succeed in retail?

Scientists discover brain circuit linking deep sleep to growth hormone release

Researchers have identified a brain circuit that links deep sleep with the release of growth hormone, forming a feedback loop that regulates both processes. The discovery explains why poor sleep disrupts growth, muscle repair, fat metabolism and brain function. Understanding this mechanism could lead to new treatments for sleep disorders and conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.

Should sleep research be a funding priority in science?

Oslo's Future Library seals 100 manuscripts for readers in the 22nd century

Oslo's Future Library project is collecting literary manuscripts that will remain sealed and unread for nearly a century, to be opened only after the year 2100. The project is based on the belief that readers and books will still exist in the 22nd century. Coordinator Anne Beate Hovind says the library "brings hope" by affirming faith in the lasting future of reading culture.

90s Ab Roller Makes a Comeback as a Full Core Workout Without Complex Equipment

The ab roller — a small wheel with handles popular in the 1990s — is trending again as an effective core training tool that requires no complex equipment. The exercise involves rolling the wheel forward while maintaining trunk tension, engaging the abs, shoulders, arms, back and glutes. Beginners are advised to start with a short range of motion on a mat and gradually increase difficulty.

Is the ab roller a better core exercise than traditional sit-ups?
