The three laws would place new restrictions on medication-induced abortions and mandate that any doctor who performs the procedure must be a certified OB-GYN. Oklahoma County District Judge Cindy Truong temporarily blocked two of five Oklahoma laws aimed at restricting abortion access, including one similar to the new Texas law banning abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, the AP said.

With the holiday season fast approaching, it’s possibly the worst time of year to have to deal with supply chain issues—let alone decide which popular smart device to prioritize. However, that’s exactly what Apple has had to do, resulting in a reduction in iPad manufacturing to keep producing as many iPhone 13s as possible. The approach makes sense from a business standpoint as the iPhone has consistently been Apple’s most popular device, but it does leave fans of the iPad in the lurch....

Apple said that while manufacturing sites have reopened in China, they “are ramping up more slowly than we had anticipated”, which will mean a worldwide shortage of iPhones. Given Apple’s excellent supply chain and global availability of the iPhone, this may not be a huge deal to consumers, but the repercussions of coronavirus have been enough for Apple to need to reassure investors. “The health and well-being of every person who helps make these products possible is our paramount priority, and we are working in close consultation with our suppliers and public health experts as this ramp continues,” the note said....

RELATED: Apex Legends: 10 Things You Never Knew About Horizon While players can expect to deal lots of damage and control the fight with Fuse, the newest Legend is not without his drawbacks. His destructive arsenal doesn’t give him much room for evasive tactics, for example, but what fun is running away when you can create a wall of fire and turn your enemies into sitting ducks? There’s a lot for newer players to learn about the fascinating new Legend in this influential Battle Royale....

The game, which is more of a spin-off of Titanfall 2 rather than a sequel, is a squad-based battle royal game that pits teams of three against each other. There are a handful of different character classes - called Legends in the game - and, like in Overwatch, they’re customizable. In fact, it plays a lot like PUBG meets Overwatch. But, I’ll have an actual review later. There are no actual Titans - the robot mechs used in the two Titanfall games, in which the series gets its name....

One fan apparently was not satisfied with the list and replied that it is still a “recycled mode.” Klein once again replied, saying that Winter Express takes more work than fan-favorite LTM Armed and Dangerous and that many fans heavily request LTMs but the number of people playing LTMs in Apex Legends drops off quickly....

Indeed, this Town Takeover will be the first on Apex Legends’ Olympus map and is designed around Pathfinder (which is already being teased on the map). While that may be enough to keep fans’ attentions, one Redditor, mertTUTER, has gone a step further, comparing Pathfinder’s new skin to Dick Tracy.
