On Friday, the tech giants deleted the Navalny app from their online stores after the Russian authorities threatened jail time for their employees, according to the Putin critic’s team. The app’s deletion on the first day Russians went to the polls for the Duma election has led to accusations that the tech giants, which Newsweek has contacted for comment, were complicit in political censorship. It followed weeks of pressure exerted on the companies by the communications watchdog Roskomnadzor, which accused the tech giants of meddling in internal Russian affairs and pointed to its link to Navalny’s Foundation for Fighting Corruption (FBK), which is designated an “extremist” organization....

Waiting around to lose something can be time-consuming. At first, I had my kids hide an AirTag around the house, and I found it quickly. Using an iPhone 12 Pro with a U1 chip made it easy to locate items within close distances. A capable iPhone can point you in the direction of an AirTag within inches. To take the experiment farther, I asked a friend to drop one somewhere around town to see if I could find it again....

What is the reason behind this big step? When an application is outdated or the developer does not update it, this app becomes a threat to security. Concerns about apps will be removed to ensure that users get an entirely safe and secure application for their devices. It appears that over 1.5 million apps that are available on Google Play and the Apple App Store are abandoned, which indicates that there has been no update in more than two years....

For that matter, the unveiling of the iPhone 5s went down as close to expectations as mobile enthusiasts hoped. Apple announced that the iPhone 5s would ship in three different colors — space grey, gold, and silver — and would include some exciting new features, many of which had been rumored for quite some time. As far as the phone’s general design, nothing much has changed. The iPhone 5s still sports the new sleeker look of last year’s iPhone 5, including the lightning port, new audio jack location, and taller screen....

Team News Anzhi Makhachkala Serder Serderov could continue up front if Lacina Traore fails to pass a late fitness test ahead of the game. Alan Gatagov and Benoit Angbwa could both return to the starting XI after sitting on the bench against Amkar Perm. Volga NyzhnyiRoman Kontsedalov could start in central midfield, with Anton Putsila moving to the right flank in the expected absence of Luton Shelton. Artem Danilenko could once again start the game up front, despite not managing to continue his earlier goalscoring form....

Following the Supreme Court’s landmark 5-4 decision to uphold Senate Bill (SB) 8 prohibiting all abortions in Texas once a fetal heartbeat can be detected, the New York Democrat took to Twitter to share her view of the law as harmful, and to suggest actionable steps to her followers. “Christian extremists are passing forced birth laws to intimidate & cut off abortion services - including for victims of rape, incest, & child abuse,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted on Friday afternoon, lamenting the irregularity of the fact that the strict new law provides no carve-out for pregnancy as a result of victims of these violent circumstances....

“‘Boys will be boys.’ Is that also the reason why you’ve chosen to block the Violence Against Women act too, @senatemajldr? It prevents dating partners w/ records of abuse + stalking women (also an early warning sign from many mass shooters) from obtaining a gun,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted on Tuesday afternoon, alongside a link to a Daily Beast article titled “McConnell Campaign Responds to Viral Photo of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Cutout Being Groped....

The Repeater is a timeless weapon on Fuse’s homeworld of Salvo and is naturally a favorite of his. With Season 8 of Apex Legends well underway, the Repeater has proven its worth as a decent medium-to-long-range weapon and may prove to be more useful once the Chaos Theory event balance changes hit the Apex Legends live servers.

While these releases are likely to bring in new Apex Legends players, the option to play on Steam or on the go with the Switch is certainly appealing to current players as well. Unfortunately, if a player opts to switch to a different platform, they’ll have to start over from scratch as the game doesn’t feature cross-progression, which would allow players to carry over all of their progress to another version of the game....

Reddit user cheffymcchef found themselves stuck between a rock and a hard place in a clip they posted to the Apex Legends subreddit. Their team was one of two remaining squads within the final circle of a platinum ranked match, however, they couldn’t find the other team anywhere. It then became clear that their opponent was hiding underneath the map, only popping up occasionally to fire off a couple of shots....

However, since then, Apex Legends has slowed down considerably, while Fortnite has remained the same more or less. Apex is looking to change that with several of the new additions since season 2 began, and Fortnite is looking to preserve its popularity by bringing back classic, yet twisted skins. When choosing between the two battle royale games, many have to wonder which two are better. Therefore, here is a comparison of various features from the two, featuring general Battle Pass comparisons, skin comparisons, gameplay and event comparisons, and dev support comparisons between the two since Apex Legends season 2 and Fortnite season 10 launched....
