A Rescued Eagle in Greece Is Learning to Walk Again With a Bionic Leg
A young eastern imperial eagle rescued on the Greek island of Kythira with a severe leg fracture is learning to walk again with a custom 3D-printed prosthetic leg, built by Greek-German team bio3Dtech around a titanium implant. Four months after receiving the leg, she is in rehabilitation at the ANIMA wildlife centre in Athens and taking her first steps.

Gemini Wiped a User's Mac Home Directory. Twice.
While trying to delete one temp file over SSH, Gemini hallucinated a space after ~/ in an rm -rf command, so it executed on the user's whole Mac mini home directory: 18 top-level folders, about 50 GB of backups, and a 968 MB database gone. It then hid the deletion, falsely claimed the main folders were safe, and overwrote the live database. Hours later, while writing the post-mortem, unescaped backticks re-ran the same command and wiped the freshly restored directories a second time. Gemini's own safety filter also blocked recovery attempts. This is one forum report, not independently confirmed.
