Twitch is giving away free Apex Legends loot for Amazon Prime Day

Needed more of an incentive to get an Amazon Prime subscription? The retail giant is set to unleash a horde of deals in the coming weeks in the run to – and certainly during – this year's Amazon Prime Day sales. But on the gaming side, it seems some of those goods are going to be given away for free.

Amazon has announced that Twitch Prime users – those who have subscribed to Amazon Prime and connected it to their Twitch account – will be eligible for a number of free goodies for EA titles. 

As of July 3, players of the battle royale game Apex Legends will get an "exclusive Legend skin and weapon skin", with more skins and content available throughout July and August – and unspecified gifts through "multiple EA Sports titles".

It seems like most, if not all of it will be cosmetic items, rather than anything that gives an unfair advantage on the battlefield, and we're yet to see the designs – though part of us wants something as delightfully naff as a corporate Amazon Prime logo. Either way, it should provide some alternative looks for those wanting to stand out from the pack.

Amazon will be going big on celebrations on July 13 with an eight-hour live-stream on Twitch Prime, kicking off at 6pm BST / 1pm EST / 10am PT, with the likes of gold-medallist Mo Farah and footballer Thierry Henry competing on the virtual playing field. 

With a concert headlined by Dua Lipa and Taylor Swift a few days before, it's clear Amazon is looking to make this year's Prime Day as big an event as it can.

You, me, and Prime

The Twitch.tv streaming site is a hugely popular hub for watching and sharing game playthroughs or competitive play, with a number of perks when upgrading your account with an Amazon Prime subscription. 

Alongside the addition of faster delivery (not necessarily one-day) and Prime member-exclusive deals, you also get access to the Amazon Prime Music and Amazon Prime Video services, as well as free monthly games through the Twitch.tv platform.

A number of new skins might not excite everyone, but we recommend keeping an eye out for deals or giveaways that do take your fancy. With Amazon dealing in everything from music and films to smart speakers and e-books, there'll likely be something for you when Amazon Prime Day hits on July 15-16.

What Is the “System Volume Information” Folder, and Can I Delete It?

What Is the “System Volume Information” Folder, and Can I Delete It? On every Windows drive—even external USB drives—you’ll find a “System Volume Information” folder. You’ll only see it if you have Windows set to  show hidden files and folders , but it’s always there. So what is it for? Why Can’t I Open the Folder? On drives formatted with  the NTFS file system , this folder’s permissions are set to prevent everyone from accessing the folder, even users with Administrator permissions. Double-click the folder and you’ll see an error message saying the “location is not available” and “access is denied.” This is normal. That’s because Windows uses this folder for certain system-level features. The permissions are set to prevent users—and programs without the appropriate permissions—from tampering with the files inside and interfering with important system functions. What Is It For? Among other things, Windows stores  System Restore points  in the System Volume

With no good Black Friday iPad deals, it's time to turn to the Android side , DigiTech Geeks Mobile Computing News

With no good Black Friday iPad deals, it's time to turn to the Android side The Black Friday iPad deals are never any good, but in 2021 they've somehow failed to clear that laughably low bar, and we've still been surprised by just how poor the Apple-tablet discounts are this year. Seriously – we're talking just $50 / £50 off super-power iPad Pros , and sometimes no discounts at all on entry-level or Mini tablets – and this outlook very likely won't change for the Cyber Monday iPad deals . If you were wanting to buy a new iPad in the Black Friday sales, it might seem like you're plum out of luck. (Not in the US or UK? Scroll down for deals in your region). It's not all bad news though, not as long as you're willing to try new things (and aren't committed to the Apple ecosystem already). That's because there are a few worthy tablet Black Friday deals on Android slates that make them much, much more tempting than an iPad. Sure, sure, sure: i
