The ABC News/Washington Post poll released on Sunday shows approval for Biden’s handling of the pandemic is now at 52 percent—down from 62 percent in June. While 41 percent said they disapprove of Biden’s COVID-19 response, the remaining respondents surveyed were undecided. The poll surveyed “a random national sample” of 1,006 people, and has a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points. Americans are also now more concerned about contracting COVID-19 than they were earlier this year, the new study also found....

Overall, the number of Americans saying Trump is doing a “bad job” handling the pandemic has increased by 10 points since March, polling by CBS News has shown. When CBS News first conducted the poll in March, only 47 percent of Americans disapproved of Trump’s response to the crisis. In April, that number increased by 5 points, rising to 52 percent. Now, at the beginning of May, the percentage of Americans saying Trump has done a “bad job” has again risen by 5 points, growing to 57 percent overall....

The poster was spotted yesterday in the lobby of Valve’s building by Reddit user liquidsys, who claims to work for a different company located in the same building as Valve. What’s funny about the poster is that it doesn’t have any specific dates, simply stating that the Half-Life 3 release party is “tomorrow,” so it could technically be used any day of the year as a tool to taunt fans....

APT and DNF are two of the most popular package managers for the job. These two programs are very similar, but they do have some differences in how they function. Let’s dive in. Getting to Know APT and DNF APT and DNF have much in common and share similar syntax for many functions.

In a thrilling best of five sets encounter that lived up to its billing, Das edged out his opponent 28-26, 29-26, 26-27, 27-28, 29-28 at the Sambodromo. The fight between the two inspired opponents was very tight. Das grabbed a two set lead hitting three perfect 10 shots out of his first six attempts when Adrian managed two. But the Cuban managed a turnaround hitting two consecutive 10s in the fourth set two make it two sets each....

Video surfaced Wednesday of the injured first baseman taking grounders at third, seeming to indicate the team is moving forward with this drastic switch that manager Brian Snitker legitimized to reporters Tuesday in the context of exploring all options to keep slugger Matt Adams in the lineup once Freeman returns from a broken left wrist. Or maybe they just want the appearance of legitimacy to gain greater leverage with teams who might covet Adams at the trade deadline....

How Does Apple Arcade Work? The Apple subscription service works a lot like Netflix or Xbox Game Pass. Subscribers will have access to a library of new and mobile exclusive games. At its September event, Apple announced that when the service goes live there will be over 100 “new and exclusive” games to download. RELATED: Apple App Store Supreme Court Decision Could Have Consequences for Consoles Over 50 games have been announced for the Apple service, with the rest presumably coming at launch....

The right-to-repair is an ongoing battle between consumer groups and major tech companies. The latter restricts repair options, controls authorized technicians and refuses to issue official spare parts. But now, Wozniak is calling out Apple’s attacks on the right-to-repair, imploring the tech powerhouse to allow owners to fix and tinker with their hardware, just as he did in the development of Apple. Woz to Apple: “It’s Time to Start Doing the Right Things....

Like the iPad Mini, the Iconia A1-810 also has a 7.9-inch display, with a resolution of 1024X768 pixels and comes with a price tag of £199, making it quite an interesting alternative to the higher priced iPad Mini. The device is powered by a quad-core 1.2 GHz processor and 1 GB of RAM, and comes with 16 GB of internal storage. It is fitted with a 5 MP rear camera but we find its 0....

Details about how to file a claim have been outlined this week in a notice published by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. A website has also been created for any owners of iPhones who were impacted in what became known as “batterygate” to submit the relevant forms needed to take part in the settlement—a process that must be completed by October 6 this year....

When I purchased my first iPad in 2013, I snagged the iPad mini. But when I decided to upgrade my mini for a second-generation, 11-inch iPad Pro, the addition of the Apple Pencil was an exceptional touch. I love having an Apple Pencil handy because my iPad Pro sits upon a Magic Keyboard, so having the space to write and move things with the pencil has been much easier and more comfortable....

The Resolution Story The latest MacBook Air comes with 1440 x 900 pixel resolution on the screen. This was an improvement over the 2560 x 1600 pixel resolution screen we saw on the older MacBook version and so we think Apple is keen on improving the resolution story with all future models. Pitch Up Against MS Surface Pro Why we expect this to be a warning for the Surface Pro 4 is because Microsoft will release this model around the same time....

The first time you hear about AirTags, it would seem to be one of the most useful objects in the world. However, as useful they might seem, there is a flaw with these objects and that is related to the technology they use. AirTags use Apple’s operated surveillance network which includes all the people who use Apple devices whether they want to be a part of it or not. These small discs need to be paired with the user’s Apple ID and then display the tag’s location in Find My App....

Among the slew of announcements during this week’s 2021 Worldwide Developers Conference, Apple said that extensions are coming to Safari browsers on mobile devices and tablets. The addition of extensions will allow users to customize their mobile browsing experience by adding password fillers, text translators, and other convenient apps. Safari will be the first mobile browser to offer extensions, beating out other browsers like Google Chrome. Right now, you can only download separate apps that act as extensions or use the few built-in ones like Safari’s popup blocker and Reader View, but this will be the first time extensions are built into a mobile browser....

In Peter’s opinion, to no one’s surprise, he has agreed with all of Apple’s claims about how Samsung’s range of a dozen odd products does infringe on three of Apple’s patents. With regards to infringement on the USD618,677 patent about the flat front, rectangular shape with curved corners and speaker grill design, Samsung rebutted the claim with four instances of prior art, including the LG’s Prada smartphone and the 2005 Sharp phone’s design....

RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - South Korea’s archers routed the United States to win the men’s team gold at the Rio Olympics on Saturday and restore a dynasty broken by the Americans at London four years ago.

The four cubs are the first to be born after a seven-year pause in new arrivals at the world’s oldest zoo located in the Austrian capital of Vienna. That changed with the arrival of a female wolf who arrived at Schönbrunn Zoo in 2017 from the Knuthenborg Safari Park in Denmark, and then two male wolves arrived from the Monde Sauvage Safari Park in Belgium last year. The four cubs were born at the end of April in a low-lying burrow and were raised there by their mother....
