Pride 2020

HAOBEI Sport Band Pride Edition

Staff pick

Apple released a gorgeous new Pride 2020 band this year, but the problem is that it costs $50. HAOBEI has replicated the Pride 2020 look pretty well, with the vertical rainbow stripes on a silicone sport band. The best part is that it costs a fraction of Apple’s own.

This feature is intended only for those who have lost or damaged their original Switch and need to bring their game data to a new console.

One of the worst things that can happen to you is having your expensive Nintendo Switch console get lost, broken, or stolen. Since Animal Crossing: New Horizons doesn’t save data to the backup cloud like other Switch games, if an incident were to occur, you might lose all those hundreds of hours you put into your island unless you already manually enabled the Island Backup service. Once that safeguard is in place, players can use this service to transfer their save data to a new Nintendo Switch once they’ve acquired one.

Remember, Nintendo states that this service is only intended if your Switch gets seriuosly damaged or lost. Without further ado, here’s how to use the Island Backup & Restoration Service.

In order to take advantage of the Island Backup & Restoration Service, players must have an active Nintendo Switch Online membership …

Cook’s opening remarks

Tim Cook

Good afternoon, everyone. Thanks for joining the call today. Before we begin, I join the many millions across this country in mourning and memorializing Congressman John Lewis, who was laid to rest earlier today. We’ve lost a hero who walked among us, a leader in the truest sense, who urged his country to aim higher and be better until the very end. I was humbled and fortunate to know him, and as an Alabama native, his example inspires me still. It now falls to every American to be a living memorial to John Lewis and to carry forward the work and the mission that defined his life.
