Microsoft confirms it can't fix KB5034441 0x80070643 error on Windows 10
Microsoft could not pull the update because of the nature of the patch, i.e. it is a high security risk that it poses, it has to be addressed. This also meant that users continued to experience the error every time they checked for updates and tried to download the package.
Users have been waiting for a fix for it for four months, and now Microsoft says it cannot fix it. https://www.ghacks.net/2024/05/02/microsoft-confirms-it-cant-fix-kb5034441-0x80070643-error-on-windows-10/

Parrots taught to video call prefer to chat to their friends rather than hear recorded messages
Parrots, who were taught to video call, may prefer live chatting with their friends rather than listening to recorded messages.
New research by the University of Glasgow suggests this is because the birds may be able to tell the difference between live and pre-recorded videos.
They said the findings could pave the way for a future with an “animal-centred internet”, allowing pets to interact with each other – as well as with humans – using technology. https://www.itv.com/news/2024-05-01/parrots-taught-to-video-call-friends-prefer-live-chats-over-recorded-messages

The curious case of the missing Lanarkshire cats
When Tracy McCulloch's cat, Pepe, went missing from his East Kilbride home, she was puzzled to find him miles away in Motherwell.
After discovering that other cats from the area had also been found there and close by, she was convinced something suspicious was going on.
The missing cats were found up to 10 miles away, in and around areas such as Newarthill, Holytown and Motherwell.
With at least nine cats disappearing from East Kilbride, her daughter Sam set up a Facebook page to help solve the mystery. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/czvjp1gnnpro
