Al’s back with a quick sprint through the stuff shaping your day — starting on the District line, where TfL expands LiDAR scanning to check the network without sending everyone down the tunnel. Then it’s a very UK-flavoured battery boost, with a new £25m innovation round aimed at materials, recycling, and supply-chain resilience.
After that: a genuinely urgent one — Adobe patches an Acrobat/Reader flaw that’s already being exploited, so maybe don’t raw-dog random PDFs today. And because we deserve something fun, NASA’s James Webb telescope has spotted a monster “planet” that formed like a planet… even though it’s basically trying to be a star. Plus, Battlefield gets a fresh update, and Samsung’s letting you test-drive the Galaxy S26 experience on your current phone. More on all of it at standard.co.uk.
