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.

A new study from the Stevens Institute of Technology shows that entrepreneurs have a ten percent lower risk of early death than those who work for others. The research examined more than twenty years of data from over twenty‑seven thousand Americans aged fifty and older. It found that those who started their own business had a lower risk of premature death even after adjusting for age, income, education and wealth. The longevity advantage was strongest for opportunity‑driven entrepreneurs who launched businesses to fill market gaps or pursue innovation. The study suggests that autonomy, ownership and purpose at work may contribute to healthier, longer lives.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the barrage, saying Russia has not altered its war tactics.

Bonta countered that state investigators had arrested a surgeon accused of performing needless procedures for profit, accusing the federal office of politicizing the investigations. The dispute highlighted the growing tension between state and federal efforts to protect vulnerable Californians and taxpayer dollars.
