Typhoon Champi is barreling toward Taiwan, China and Japan, bringing heavy rain and wind. Taiwanese authorities issued urgent safety warnings on Thursday, urging the public to avoid high‑risk zones. The storm’s 320‑kilometre radius will cover most of Taiwan today, with peak impact expected through the night before it pulls away toward southern Japan late Saturday. Severe weather warnings are in place across Taiwan, with mountainous regions facing up to 900 millimetres of rainfall and wind gusts reaching level twelve on the Beaufort scale.

YouTube has begun testing a change that removes the Subscriptions tab from the bottom navigation bar on its Android and iOS apps. The tab is now positioned in the top bar on the Home screen, appearing as the second item after Home. This shift follows a decade of the tab’s placement in the bottom bar, dating back to 2017. Alongside the move, YouTube is introducing custom feeds for Live, Music, and Movies & TV, and is redesigning the top bar to feature dedicated feeds. The changes are part of a broader effort to streamline the Home experience and are currently in testing on mobile and desktop for U.S. users.

Texas coach Steve Sarkisian said Arch Manning is "edgy" after back‑to‑back losses to unranked opponents. The Longhorns, ranked No. one, fell 27‑24 to Oklahoma in Week six and again 27‑24 to Florida in Week seven. Both defeats came after Manning committed pivotal fourth‑quarter turnovers. Sarkisian noted the quarterback’s edge and expressed confidence that he will fight back. Texas faces No. seven Ole Miss next, with the outcome affecting playoff hopes.

Experts say that, one day after governments warned that severe PHP flaws could force websites offline, there have been few, if any, reports of widespread damage. Across all telemetry, Sophos’ Don Smith noted only a couple of real exploitation attempts. Industry leaders—including CrowdStrike, ESET, Google Threat Intelligence Group, Huntress, Palo Alto Networks, Recorded Future, SecureWorks, Sophos and Trail of Bits—reported to NBC News that, as of Thursday evening, no successful attacks had been observed. The vulnerabilities, affecting an estimated 69% of all websites, were quietly patched after a global effort, and many sites went dark until updates were applied. Cybersecurity experts warn the threat will remain for weeks, if not longer, but early signs suggest the flaws are harder to exploit than initially thought.

A late‑stage trial of Moderna and Merck’s melanoma vaccine, intismeran autogene, combined with Merck’s Keytruda, reduced the relative risk of disease recurrence or death by 42% compared with Keytruda alone after a median follow‑up of 24.6 months. The result, disclosed ahead of the European Society for Medical Oncology meeting, met the study’s primary endpoint and was described by analysts as a landmark moment. Shares of both companies fell immediately, with Moderna’s stock dropping nearly 25% and Merck’s falling about 1%. Analysts noted a “sell‑the‑news” reaction to the announcement. The 42% reduction is slightly below the 44% observed in a smaller Phase 2 trial, but still represents a significant clinical benefit.

Forest Hills Stadium has reached a settlement with local residents, agreeing to limit annual concerts to twenty‑eight. The deal ends a years‑long legal battle and allows the venue to continue hosting events while addressing neighbor concerns about traffic and noise.

Canva has released its first image‑generation model, Canva Craft, to all users. The model works in two stages: first it interprets prompts and creates a detailed plan, then it generates up to 2K‑resolution images in roughly 30 aspect ratios. Canva says the approach yields accurate object details and legible text, and allows precise edits without affecting other parts of the image. The model was trained on human‑designed templates from Canva’s library, including posters, social posts, presentations, infographics, menus, and typography‑rich layouts. Images produced by Canva Craft can be converted into layered designs using Canva Magic. The model is available on the platform’s Dream Lab tab and via the Canva API, with plans to support third‑party chatbots such as ChatGPT and Gemini. Canva also announced two cost‑efficient versions, Craftfast and Craft‑ultrafast, that will be released soon. The research team behind the model includes contributors from Canva’s 2024 acquisition of Leonardo.ai.

Arman Tsarukyan said he has been assured a lightweight title fight at the beginning of next year. He was previously scheduled to face Islam Makhachev at UFC 311 but was pulled a day before due to health issues. Tsarukyan’s victory over Mauricio Ruffy at UFC 331 in September solidified his status as a top contender. He remains focused on defending the belt once he wins it.

Sony has quietly ended production of its final 4K UHD Blu‑ray player, the UBP‑X700/K, in Japan. The decision follows a broader shift by the PlayStation maker away from home electronics and physical media. Sony sold much of its TV and hardware production to TCL earlier this year, and it has announced that new PlayStation games will be digital‑only starting in January 2028. The UBP‑X700/K will no longer be restocked, marking the likely end of consumer‑grade UHD players from Sony worldwide.
