The Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund and Ape Cognition and Conservation Initiative highlighted the work of the community this week after a wave of the Redditors symbolically adopted gorillas and posted images of their donation certificates to the messageboard. A representative for The Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund told Newsweek that r/WallStreetBets members had raised at least $333,000 as of Tuesday. The trend started on Saturday last weekend after a user shared an image of an adopted gorilla made under the donor name “GameStop,” a reference to the stock trading frenzy in January that saw r/WallStreetBets users disrupt hedge fund short sellers....
RELATED: 10 Decent Battle Royales That Didn’t Gain Popularity One of the more interesting aspects of Apex is its surprisingly in-depth and detailed lore. Most battle royale-based games lean towards creating a simple world focused almost wholly on gameplay. Apex Legends, taking a note from Titanfall, prefers to give its players a living, breathing world to play in. Here are ten facts most players fail to notice about World’s Edge, one of the game’s most popular maps....
Aside from the new Legend, EA and Respawn have also teased fans on some of the new content and changes coming to the battle royale game next season.

The “Old Ways” event is centered around Bloodhound, with a cinematic revealing Bloodhound’s backstory. The story shows that Bloodhound’s uncle is named Artur, who shares a name with Bloodhound’s raven. Apex Legends writer, Manny Hagopian, revealed that when asked what to name the raven, Hagopian chose a line from “A Hard Day’s Night.” The 1964 movie featured The Beatles, and lead guitarist George Harrison names his hair “Artur” during the movie....
Peacekeeper: The Peacekeeper is one of the most commonly used guns in the game. The shotgun is a beast in close combats and can kill anybody in seconds. The gun deals 110 body damage at close range and a 165 headshot damage(can change with body shield or helmet tier). You can charge up your shots via a precision choke and reduce the spread of your shots. This will enable you to do even more damage....
This of course means that things are out there for dataminers to hunt down and share with those who want to know what’s next. Usually things that are spotted by dataminers are things that are not massive, like the possible addition of ground emotes or details on the upcoming Halloween-themed event for October. But this new piece of datamined information could shake up Apex Legends quite a bit. RELATED: Apex Legends Leak Reveals Updated Halloween Event...
The addition of Fuse has not been officially confirmed yet, but it looks like the groundwork has all been done for the legend to make an appearance. It looks like the new legend’s abilities will revolve around explosives, and the legend will be teased in a similar way to how both Horizon and Octane were before their official addition to the game. Players will have to wait until Season 8 to actually get to use the legend, but like how Horizon was leaked early, so too has Fuse....
In battle royales, players are often put in the position to only look out for themselves. In an Apex Legends match, one player rose above that and attempted to do the right thing even if it meant losing. RELATED: Apex Legends Adds Pride Month Badge Uploading to the Apex Legends subreddit, user arsebasiki demonstrated unusual gallantry in a game that rarely shows it off. During a DDoS (distributed denial of service) attack that left multiple players affected, arsebasiki fended other players looking to pick off a few easy targets....
With this record, he joined the elite list of players who have hit six sixes in an over in different forms of the game - Sir Garfield Sobers, Ravi Shastri, Herschelle Gibbs, Yuvraj Singh, Alex Hales, Ravindra Jadeja, and Misbah-ul-Haq. While defending a huge total of 244 against Kabul Zwanan, the skipper Mohammad Nabi brought debutant Mazari to surprise the batsmen, but the move failed miserably. He bowled different lines but Zazai did not miss out on the opportunity....
“Gender inequality is a huge issue but it’s not clear that is what’s at play here,” says Taylor Tepper, a credit card analyst with Wirecutter, the product review site. “Too little is known about the particulars of the people involved or the factors Apple and Goldman used in the credit-decision process to draw any conclusion that’s not steeped in Twitter outrage.” The controversy started over the weekend when tech entrepreneur David Heinemeier Hansson, creator of the web-development tool Ruby on Rails and co-founder of the software development firm Basecamp, fired off a series of tweets voicing outrage over the fact that he’d been given a credit limit on his Apple Card that was 20 times as big as the credit line his wife got on her card—even though she has a higher credit score and the couple file “joint tax returns, live in a community-property state and have been married a long time....
If rumors are to be believed, looks like Apple’s finally descended from its high horse and realized the much-talked about truth – it really is time to shed the snootiness. Since the iPhone 5 didn’t do as well in the market as Apple and analysts had hoped, the company is finally tweaking its strategy and bringing out another low-cost version of its smartphone. Supposedly featuring a design inspired by the iPod Classic iPod Touch and of course the iPhone 5, it will have a plastic body to maintain affordability....
Martin Hajek has even sketched a design for the new smartphone in which he drew the home button on the screen itself, reducing the dead space around the phone, reports ComputerBild. This is actually a nifty idea and can be a great addition to the phone, if the makers are really interested about the suggestion. Apart from that, Hajek also included dual lenses in the concept design. Removing the camera hump from the back of iPhone 6 as well as iPhone 6 Plus, he made the phone a bit thicker than the existing model, may be he wanted the phone to have a bigger battery for better performance....
The MacBook Air gets the expected keyboard upgrade: it now comes with the Magic keyboard first seen on the 16in MacBook Pro when it was announced towards the end of 2019. The scissor-switch design replaces the problematic butterfly mechanism in older MacBooks. Other updates include quad-core processors (a first for a MacBook Air) and base storage of 256GB, twice that of the old model. Max storage tops out at 2TB, again, twice what was available before....
The iPad 5 will be slightly slimmer in design, with more acute edges – as noticed in the iPhone 5S. The tech giant is sticking to A7 64-bit processor for all its new devices. The iPad 5 will have a 9.7-inch retina display as seen on the previous versions. It is expected that the Touch ID fingerprint sensor will be seen in iPad 5. The cycle of rumors regarding the second-generation iPad mini suggest that the device will feature retina display....
Unraveling Apple Music For starters, you must know that Apple offers you a curated list of songs—technically playlists—that help you unearth everything from gym workout music to grad songs. The interface is split into For You and New Home Screens but you might just as well rely on good old search via type! Watch out for the ellipses that are found at the end of every track. Tapping these will render a host of menu options via which you can buy, share or simply save the same for the later use....
The service will be called Apple One, which was given away when the publication tore down the code of the latest Apple Music version 3.4.0 beta. It was previously reported that there would be different options such as the pairing of Apple Music and Apple TV+ in the base option, with adds ons at higher prices of Apple Arcade, Apple News+, and iCloud storage. The strings of code that 9to5Google published also show that Apple is using the codename ‘aristotle’ for Apple One:...
