There are bargains aplenty to be had in the lead up to the October edition of Prime Day. Many are even bringing the prices of certain products down to record lows. Case in point: the USB-C Apple Pencil is cheaper than its ever been right now. You can snap one up for $69, which is $10 off and matches the lowest price weve seen to date for it. Apple debuted this model last year as its most budget-friendly Apple Pencil so far, and this sale makes the peripheral even more wallet-friendly. However, Apple's long had a problem with making it clear to consumers which version of the stylus is compatible with their iPad. For the sake of clarity, here are all the iPad models with which the USB-C Apple Pencil works: iPad Pro 13-inch (M4) iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation and later ) iPad Pro 11-inch (all models) iPad Air 13-inch (M2) iPad Air 11-inch (M2) iPad Air (4th generation and later) iPad (10th generation) iPad mini (6th generation) Although being able to charge the peripheral with a USB-C cable is handy, this version does lack some of the fancier features of the Apple Pencil Pro and second-gen Apple Pencil. While you can attach it to the side of iPads with magnetic holders for safekeeping and convenience, there's no support for magnetic charging. Pressure sensitivity isn't available and you can't use Apple's nifty double-tap feature. However, the company says the USB-C Apple Pencil does support pixel-perfect accuracy, low latency and tilt sensitivity.

Some users may know that Epic Games, the developer of Fortnite, has had its own app store for a while now, the Epic Games Store. The company also won an antitrust lawsuit against Google last December that found Google held an illegal monopoly on app distribution and in-app billing services for Android devices. Despite that win, it seems that Epics court war has only begun. Epic Games is now suing Google again, but it also named Samsung in the lawsuit as a defendant. This time, its sights are trained on Samsungs Auto Blocker feature. In the latest lawsuit, Epic Games is claiming that Samsungs Auto Blocker feature is making it difficult for users to install the Epic Games Store on the latest Samsung devices. This is because Samsung now activates Auto Blocker, which only allows app installs from the Google Play Store and Samsung Galaxy Store, by default and prevents third-party app installation unless you disable the function. Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney is even suggesting that Google and Samsung are working together, though he admits theres no concrete evidence for this claim. The Verges Sean Hollister put these claims to the test and discovered that his Samsung smartphone did prevent him from installing Epic Games Store, but it wasnt so simple. There were no instructions on how to deactivate Auto Blocker. He then searched turn off auto blocker in the search bar, which yielded results but required jumping through several screens. Besides winning against Google and legally proving that Google had a monopoly over Android app sharing, Epic Games also won a lawsuit against Apple. Apple had refused to let Epic Games launch its app store on iOS devices, but the EU forced Apples hand. However, Apple is still resisting and claims that its acceptance is only temporary. How Google and Samsung will respond remains to be seen, but its possible that both companies will resist and claim they arent making it difficult to install the Epic Games Store. Once again, well likely be waiting for the legal system to sort things out.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/apps/epic-is-suing-google-and-samsung-for-making-it-too-hard-to-download-fortnite-142846819.html?src=rss

Home kits for testing drugs are normally bland and clinical, but a newcomer is challenging those conventions with bold branding and an irreverent approach to harm reduction. Overdrive sells fentanyl test strips and takes its marketing cues from energy drinks, not medical devices, pulling in viewers on socials with coverage of extreme sports and underground music scenes. It's not the first time founder Brian Bordainick is shaking up a category: he previously launched Starface pimple patches, DTC morning-after pill Julie and Blip nicotine gum.Undetectable by sight, taste or smell, an amount of fentanyl a synthetic opioid 50 times stronger than heroin as tiny as two grains of salt is enough to kill someone. It's frequently and secretly mixed into drugs sold as heroin, cocaine, meth, MDMA, ketamine and counterfeit prescription pills (oxycodone, Xanax and Adderall), and is involved in the majority of drug overdoses in the US.Overdrive's 5-pack kit, retailing at USD 12.99 via Amazon and the company's own website, includes test strips, mini spoons for precise measurement and water pouches for dilution. While the brand maintains a mischievous tone, its mission is deadly serious: to provide drug users with a reliable and accessible first line of defense against potentially lethal overdoses. Results are available in just 3 minutes, with a 99% accuracy rate. Which overlooked yet critical category could your organization tackle? Where could you replace moralizing and fearmongering with stigma-free empowerment?
