Lords Mobile creator IGG donates $100,000 to Make-A-Wish

A few weeks ago we reported on the winner of a competition held by IGG, maker of the brilliant multiplayer game Lords Mobile for mobile and PC.

Contestants were asked to design a castle, one that would eventually feature in the game itself. You can check out the winner's story in our previous post.

And above you can see the design as it will appear in Lords Mobile. Cute, right?

It brings to mind memories of carefree childhood days spent burying your head in the toy box.

IGG and Make-A-Wish

IGG might bring a few tears to a few eyes with its follow-up, a $100,000 donation to the Make-A-Wish foundation. Make-A-Wish's good work spans five continents, and it tries to make the dreams of critically ill children come true. 

You can read about some of these wishes-made-real on the Make-A-Wish website. One of them is Shakeel. After being diagnosed with renal disease, he sought solace in online games. An avid gamer now, his wish was to be a gamer to raise funds through a live stream for charity.

This is just one of several remarkable charitable projects IGG has made happen. In 2019 it teamed-up with philanthropist Mr Beast, of YouTube fame, who delivered thousands of presents to UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital in Oakland, California.

You can watch a video of that day, and see the hospital room stuffed with presents, on the Lords Mobile Facebook page.

IGG is also doing its best to help the global effort to stop the spread of Covid-19, coronavirus.

It setup a donation fund to bring important medical supplies to the most affected areas in Asia. And, more recently, IGG purchased 1.8 million face masks to be distributed to the areas hit hardest by the virus. 

It's also donated N95 masks to US hospitals and organizations including the City of Fremont (Police Dept), Kaiser Permanente Medical Group, Stanford Hospital and more.

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 ...

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...
