Epic, maker of the popular game "Fortnite," wants to sell digital items in its apps without giving a cut of the purchase price to Apple. Apple was dealt a blow in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit on Wednesday, as a panel of judges denied the company's emergency application to halt changes to its App Store that resulted from the company's legal battle with Epic Games.

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority I used to trust that the Google Play Store would reliably update all my Android apps in the background, but recently I’ve grown more skeptical. Some apps seemingly gain new versions regularly, while others haven’t been updated for ages. This isn’t a case of developers dragging their feet, either. So, to allay my fears, I’ve used the tools at my disposal to create a workaround. If you own a Samsung phone, you can use its Modes and Routines feature to regularly

Silicon Valley nerds have been lonelier since Fry’s Electronics shut down in February 2021 in the midst of the pandemic. The electronics store chain was an embodiment of the valley’s tech roots. But Micro Center, an electronics retailer from Ohio, has opened its 29th store in Santa Clara, California. And so the nerd kingdom has returned.
