Today’s tech story is really about systems under strain—digital and physical alike. In Mumbai, a crippling BEST bus strike has pushed commuters onto trains and taxis, even as officials scramble to deploy extra buses for NEET re-exam candidates and invoke emergency-service rules to contain the disruption. In gaming, Halo: Campaign Evolved sparked backlash after reports that even local split-screen co-op on PS5 would require two PlayStation Plus subscriptions, a decision the publisher now appears to be walking back. Brazil, meanwhile, is investigating a more serious systems failure after hackers hijacked its civil defense alert network to blast fake emergency messages to millions of phones. And on the quieter edge of the internet, one developer is testing whether AI-curated directories can still win search traffic in the age of Google’s zero-click AI Overviews. Even International Yoga Day’s theme—healthy ageing—lands as a reminder that resilience matters everywhere.
