As detailed by ArsTechnica, the bug in question causes the macOS 11.1 update to disappear from System Preferences.

Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson are saving the world (and looking good) in the new trailer for Men in Black: International. In the years since Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith finished their run on the Men in Black trilogy, Sony has toyed with various ideas for continuing the franchise.

Spider-Man could have made his debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe much earlier, though not with Tom Holland. Over the course of 23 films, the MCU has introduced various characters from Marvel Comics, both heroes and villains, but many others haven’t been able to join this interconnected universe due to rights issues. Spider-Man, for example, couldn’t join the Avengers until Captain America: Civil War in 2016, after Marvel Studios and Sony reached a deal that allowed both studios to use the character (under certain rules, of course)....
