Lawmakers have until Friday to pass a bill to fund the government to avoid a shutdown going into the holidays amid a push to attach some coronavirus relief to a $908 billion proposal. On Tuesday, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said a deal was “close” while Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told reporters he was “optimistic” one was imminent. But the Congressional Progressive Caucus [CPC] said that any deal lawmakers struck had to include enhanced unemployment insurance and direct cash payments because “families across the nation are screaming for help....

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez—polar opposites on the political landscape—joined forces in a bipartisan effort to slay the National Basketball Association’s stance regarding its coziness with China versus free speech in America. For starters, the NBA this week has dealt with fallout of a tweet from one of its team’s general managers—Daryl Morey of the Houston Rockets—who wrote that he stood behind the pro-democracy supporters in Hong Kong....

The Wildcats received 45 first-place votes, more than doubling No. 2 Kansas’ 20 first-place votes. MORE: 13 coaches in the running for coach of the year Despite each suffering two losses in the past three games, Oklahoma, Iowa and Maryland remained in the top 10. Arizona, winners of six straight including a 38-point dismantling of Arizona State, jumped three spots to No. 9. With four games against unranked Pac-12 opponents, Sean Miller’s crew, revitalized with the return of freshman Allonzo Trier (hand), could enter postseason play on a 10-game winning streak....

Three top-10 teams (No. 4 Texas A&M, No. 9 Nebraska and No. 10 Florida) were beaten by a combined score of 128-41 by Mississippi State, No. 6 Ohio State and Arkansas, respectively.

First introduced in Season 3 along with Crypto and World’s Edge, Anvil Receiver stayed in the game until the start of Season 5. Given that it is one of the rarest pieces of loot, finding an Anvil Receiver is difficult but always a welcome bonus that can massively enhance the effective range of a player’s assault rifle. RELATED: Apex Legends Reveals New Chaos Theory Collection Event The Anvil Receiver hop-up is only compatible with the light ammo R-301 and heavy ammo Flatline assault rifles....

Broken Moon is the fourth map change in Apex Legends history, which started out with Kings Canyon in 2019. Every few Seasons, Respawn Entertainment has introduced a new core map to the rotation. Preceding Apex Legends’ Season 15 and Broken Moon, Apex Legends included Storm Point in Season 11, and before that Olympus, which was introduced in Season 7. Both of the earlier maps have unique map features not found on Broken Moon, but the new map has also a trick up its sleeve: a new travel mechanic called Zip Rails....

For example, the most recent heirloom added to Apex Legends is Rampart’s Wrench. Not only does it fit to her character and have some pretty cool animations, but it “doubles” as a bubble gum dispenser for her. Octane’s butterfly knife and Mirage’s statue of himself do the exact same thing, but for many fans, it’s past time that Wattson gets an heirloom.

In the case of Saviors, Apex Legends’ latest season, those map changes take place on Storm Point. A new Downed Beast point of interest (POI) can be found on the west side of the map, filling out the once empty space between The Mill and North Pad. In addition to the carcass of the felled creature, new IMC armories can be found scattered throughout Storm Point. While the aim of both of these new POIs is to draw players to different parts of the map with the prospect of better gear and loot, the IMC armories in particular tend to be more risk than reward....

The Apex Legends Grand Soirée event started on January 14th and will end on January 28th. The event also features new challenges and rewards earned from playing the limited-time game modes. RELATED: Apex Legends Next Hero Possibly Leaked by New Art The newest game mode, Live.Die.Live, gives players a chance to respawn without having to grab a teammate’s banner and taking it to a respawn beacon. When the circle moves, dead players will be brought back to life near their teammates as long as one player from the squad is still alive....

Apex Legends has had ranked matches since Season 2, but the only way to play them was in Trios. The reasoning behind this has always been that the developers believe the best and “truest” way to play the game is with three Legends. In April 0f 2020, the development team finally added Duos, but they refused to add in a ranked mode. Players have been making requests, through all sorts of different platforms, to add the feature ever since....

Divided into half 2 halves by a massive river of lava, Fragment is visually stunning. One reason for its popularity is its central location on the World’s Edge map. In addition, it includes numerous multilevel buildings that are ideal for gathering looting. As a result, it has become a hot drop location for many squads looking to rack up kills and damage. Recently, one player decided to recreate this iconic location in another popular game....

Crypto and Valkyrie players may not have to wait much longer if recent leaks can be trusted. It appears that both characters are set to get their own Heirlooms when Apex Legends launches Season 12 and Season 13, respectively. RELATED: Apex Legends Mobile Is Already Having Problems With Cheaters Crypto’s Heirloom was originally leaked some time ago, with the first images surfacing back in early February. However, a recent Reddit video shows it in action, displaying various animations and emotes....

In an earlier event, the developers talked about the gap between them and the Apex Legends community. The developers are trying there best to sort out the needs of the Apex community. Apex Legends season 2 new details will be made available by the developers in a few days. Jayfresh_Respawn didn’t comment any specifics on the topic but at least we have confirmation of new content/changes coming to Apex Legends....

Reddit user “MohSSEEZZ” shares a clip of their ranked Apex Legends match in which their teammates stood by as another team racked up kills on “MohSSEEZZ.” The player is killed and respawned three times before choosing to leave the ranked match. While the cheaters were earning Kill Points, “MohSSEEZZ” was handed an abandonment penalty for the situation. Apex Legends security analyst Conor Ford was tagged in the post, so hopefully some action is taken to reprimand the cheaters and prevent farming from happening....

Of course, when looking forward, it’s always important to look back. Respawn Entertainment has released some fun and interesting Apex Legends player statistics in the classic “year in review” approach. None of them are particularly surprising, but they are pretty cool to know. RELATED: Apex Legends Players Are Adding Emojis to Their Name to Break The Game Released across three new images on social media, the first confirms that more than 22 billion Apex Legends players have been killed....

A brand new agent named Fuse was introduced in season 8 of Apex Legends. The latest legend in the game became immensely popular initially, only to face criticism from fans and players later. Season 9 of Apex Legends is just around the corner, but a few of the old Legends still need a lot of attention and changes, and Fuse is one of them. Horizon is perhaps the best Legend in Apex Legends right now, but a lot of the new post-launch Legends have typically underperformed to start with before some buffs were later added to improve them....

According to The Post’s report, roughly 2% of the top 1,000 grossing apps (i.e. the apps that earn the most money) are cons. It may not sound like a lot, but that means there are about 20 malicious apps popular enough to hit the top 1,000. These scams have apparently cost users an estimated $48 million, with cons that range from fake user reviews to apps that trick you into paying for services your device already uses....

The report says that both the acquiring companies “have partnered after leading two separate groups this summer to buy some of Kodak’s 1,100 imaging patents. The two groups had separately offered less than $500 million for Kodak’s portfolio. They now teamed up to offer more together”.

Reading that, it sounds odd, but examine the AirPods Max and you’ll realise that I’m telling the truth. You’ve got buttons to change noise cancellation modes and an XL digital crown to control media playback or summon Siri, but there’s nothing to turn the headphones off when you’re done. Apple says that the AirPods Max are smart – so smart, in fact, that the high-end cans intuitively know when they’re not needed and power down automatically – but the reality is much more frustrating....
