If you watched David Fincher’s The Social Network you’re aware of Facebook’s controversial beginnings and the multiple lawsuits that the company found itself in the midst of. For those that aren’t aware, in its early years, Facebook was sued by Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss for intellectual property theft and by Eduardo Saverin for unfair dilution of shares. Facebook settled both suits out of court. While the social media platform moved on from the initial controversies, it garnered new ones along the way. Some suggest that it was partly the reason why Facebook rebranded to ‘Meta’. In this article, we explain who owns Facebook, listing the major shareholders in the company.Read Also: Google Pixel G10 Display Specifications Leaked
In This Article
Mark Zuckerberg
This may come as a surprise to some, Mark Zuckerberg only owns only 13% of Facebook (Meta) stocks. Yet he holds the majority voting power in the company. This is because Facebook’s shares are divided into two categories – Class A and Class B. Class A shares are publicly traded on the stock market. Every Class A share gives the holder one vote. Class B shares are owned privately by Mark Zuckerberg and a few other investors. Every Class B share gives the holder 10 votes. Zuckerberg is currently valued at $71 billion, making him one of the richest people in the world.
Accel Partners
Venture capitalist Jim Breyer holds 11.4% of Facebook stocks through his company Accel Partners. A share of 11.4% translates to a net worth of 11.4 billion. Fortune Magazine listed Breyer as one of the top 10 smartest people in technology back in August 2010.
Dustin Moskovitz
Co-founder of Facebook, Dustin Moskovitz owns 7.6% of the company’s shares, which would put his net stake at slightly over $7 billion. Moskovitz left Facebook back in 2008 to create his own photo-sharing platform called ‘Path’. Attracting lucrative offers from the likes of Google, Path still managed to stay independent and now boasts an active user base of over 2 million people.
Eduardo Saverin
Co-founder Eduardo Saverin owns about $5 billion worth of shares in Facebook. Saverin was also involved in a lawsuit against Facebook in the company’s early years, accusing the founders of unfairly diluting his shares. While retaining his stock in Facebook, Saverin went on to become an angel investor. Currently residing in Singapore, Saverin holds significant shares in several Asian startups.
Sean Parker
Knowing for creating notoriety with the file-sharing website Napster, Sean Parker initially joined Facebook as an advisor but now owns about 4% of the company’s stock. Parker also holds shares in some of the biggest internet platforms, including Spotify. Sean Parker was also Facebook’s first president.
Peter Thiel
Co-founder of PayPal and Palantir, Peter Thiel’s shares in Facebook amount to almost $3 billion. Thiel was one of the early investors in Facebook, having first bought shares back in 2005. He was also one of the largest individual shareholders in Facebook following his first investment. Read Also: YouTube announced new design elements and product features, gets pinch-to-zoom and more
Conclusion
Apart from the people listed above, Chris Hughes, Bill Gates, Li Ka-shing, and Digital Sky Technologies also hold varying stocks in Facebook. In 2021, Facebook rebranded to Meta as the company started to branch out into VR tech, with the acquisition of Occulus. To differentiate between the social media platform and the company, the latter was renamed Meta. This did not have any effect on the company’s ownership whatsoever.
The use of Apple’s iPhone and iPad may be dangerous as a number of serious security vulnerabilities have been discovered by Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In).

Fitbit Versa 4
When it comes to health-tracking wearables, fewer brands are held in higher regard than Fitbit. Fitbit has been at the forefront of health and fitness accessories for years, finessing their products gradually and creating a significant market share for themselves. The Fitbit Versa 4 reaps all the results of this continued perseverance. Versa 4 is one of the most well-rounded smartwatches on the market and is well ahead of the curve compared to its peers. With Fitbit’s Versa 4 you get features like enhanced sleep tracking, SpO2 monitoring, stress management, heart rate monitoring, and much more. The Versa 4 is compatible with iOS and Android and offers a wide range of controls for your smartphone.
Apple Watch Series 8
The inclusion of the Apple Watch Series 8 in this list should surprise no one. Launched at the company’s ‘Far Out’ event in September, the Apple Watch Series 8 is already considered by many to be the best smartwatch on the market. The Apple Watch Series 8 comes with new features like crash detection, always on display, and ovulation tracking. Apple’s flagship smartwatch can also detect temperature fluctuations as small as 0.1 degrees Celcius. In low-power mode, the Apple Watch Series 8 can last up to 36 hours.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 5
Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 is available in 1.2-inch and 1.4-inch Super AMOLED display options. Galaxy Watch 5 is powered by 1.5 GB of RAM and a dual-core Exynos W920 SoC. You also get 15 GB of internal storage.

Users can also manage their blood pressure and ECG from their wrists.
Garmin Venu Sq 2
Launched just last week, the Garmin Venu Sq 2 is bound to be one of the better smartwatch releases this year. Available in two variants, the regular model costs Rs 27,990, while the music edition can be bought for Rs 33,490. The Standard model is available in Cool Mint, Shadow Grey, and White colour options while the Music edition comes in French Grey, Black, and Ivory shades.

Apart from all the essential health-tracking functions, the Garmin Venu Sq 2 also offers over 25 sport modes HIIT, cardio, swimming, jogging, and cycling. On top of that, you can even design your own custom program.
Apple Watch SE
Apple Watch SE is the company’s affordable smartwatch option in its lineup, starting at a price of Rs 29,900. The Apple Watch SE comes with all the essential features like cardio tracking, cycle tracking, crash detection, fall detection, and emergency calling. However, it doesn’t have a dedicated Blood Oxygen and ECG app. It is water resistant up to 50m, which means you can wear it while swimming. The smartwatch shines when it comes to the superior display and the overall design and look, which is undeniably Apple.
Fitbit Luxe
Fitbit Luxe is a sleek fitness band specially designed for women. It is a compact fitness band, with dimensions of just 1.43 x 0.69 x 0.4 inches. The rubber straps are available in four colour options – Lunar White/Soft Gold, Black/Graphite, Orchid/Platinum, and a Gold coloured special edition.

Noise ColorFit Pro 4

When it comes to features, Noise ColorFit Pro 4 offers heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking, SpO2 sensor, and a fitness tracker for more than 100 different training regimens. The only downside is that there’s no option to track swimming since the smartwatch is not designed to be worn in deep waters. If you can look past that, you wont find any other smartwatch that offers a better value for money priced at Rs 3,499.
Redmi Smart Band Pro
The Redmi Smart Band Pro sports a simple, elegant design. You won’t find any buttons on the dial. The minimal, clean look sets the Smart Band apart from its competition. Powered by the Ambiq Apollo 3.5 SoC, the Redmi Smart Band Pro delivers great performance when it comes to tracking your health and fitness.

Online delivery fraud is becoming more and more prevalent. Another online scam involves a buyer from Mangaluru who alleges that he was delivered a stone and some e-waste instead of a gaming laptop. He ordered the laptop during the Big Diwali Sale hosted on Flipkart.The Big Diwali Sale has come to an end on the online retailer Flipkart. A buyer from Mangaluru placed a Flipkart order for a gaming laptop. Unexpectedly, he did not get the device that he ordered. He received a large stone and some e-waste instead. After this, the man turned to Twitter and spoke about his experience he had and shared numerous photos. His name is Chinmaya Ramana and he ordered the Asus TUF Gaming F15 gaming laptop on October 15. The gaming device was ordered for his friend and was shipped on October 20 which was completely sealed. So when it was opened to his surprise he found some stones and e-waste inside the package.Ramana’s tweet read, “Ordered for laptop and received a big stone and E-waste! During Diwali sale on Flipkart!”
It should be noted that Flipkart offers options like “open box delivery” to avoid such online delivery frauds, allowing customers to verify that they have only gotten the intended item. Before providing the One Time Password, the customer may ask the delivery person to open the box and confirm whether the product he ordered is correct or is not damaged.But according to Chinmaya Ramana, the “open box delivery” option was not available at the time of placing the order. When he found the stone inside the package he immediately informed the seller and asked for a refund but the vendor turned down the request.According to Chinmaya after that, he informed about the delivery fraud to Flipkart. “I informed Flipkart about the scam with all the evidence the same day, they said they needed time to resolve the complaint. On 23 October, I was emailed informing that the seller had rejected the return request and there was no damage to the product during transportation,” he wrote.Fortunately, the business granted a full refund when he vented his frustration on social media, which generated a lot of unwanted press.

Apple products are known for their incredible build quality and toughness. The Apple Watch is designed to withstand pressure and function under harsh conditions. Despite its resilience, the Apple Watch can get physically damaged, depending on external conditions. The screen is usually first to absorb damage and may crack under pressure or with severe impact. In this article, we show you how to get a cracked Apple Watch screen fixed.Read Also: Pros and cons of mobile casino gaming
In This Article
Here’s how you can get a cracked Apple Watch screen fixed
The best way to get your cracked Apple Watch screen repaired is by sending it to an authorised Apple repair centre. While iPhones and other Apple products can get repaired in the Apple Store, Apple Watches get relayed to the Apple repair centre. This is because Apple doesn’t ‘repair’ a cracked screen, it simply sends you a new or refurbished unit back. If you take your Apple Watch to an Apple Store, they will simply forward it to the repair centre.Screen cracks aren’t covered by an Apple warranty. If you end up damaging your Apple Watch’s screen, you will have to pay extra for repairs. However, if you use the Apple Watch Series 2 or Series 3, there is an Apple Watch Screen Watch Replacement program that may help you get your screen fixed for free. Under this program, if a crack develops around the dial of your Apple Watch Series 2 or Series 3, you can get it replaced for free as long as the watch is still under warranty.Getting the screen of your Apple Watch repaired can cost you anywhere between $219 to $800, depending on the model of your watch. Usually, repairing the Apple Watch SE is considerably cheaper than, say, the Titanium Apple Watch. Apple also has a ‘Get an estimate’ tool on its Support website, which you can use to figure out the ballpark amount when it comes to the cost of repairing your watch’s screen. If you have an Apple Care+ plan, the repair costs will be considerably lower.Read Also: YouTube announced new design elements and product features, gets pinch-to-zoom and more
Conclusion
This is how you can get a cracked Apple Watch screen fixed. While it is advised to get your Apple products repaired from the official repair centre, there are plenty of other services that can repair them for you. If you’re in India, Rapid Repair is one such service. You can visit their website for more information.

The details of all the services and the expiration can easily be accessed on your car’s infotainment screen. Autovaras is free to use and comes with no in-app purchases.
Scanner Radio
Scanner Radio lets you listen to police scanners in your car, so you can look out for any accidents or other incidents while making your commute. You can stay up to date with any emergencies happening in your locality while also avoiding any accident-struck spots. While there are a lot of apps that report traffic congestion on your commute, Scanner Radio is more instantaneous and takes data directly from the police authorities.

Want to listen to old-school radio while driving around? TuneIn has got you covered. One of the most popular internet radio apps on Android, TuneIn is now available for Android Auto as well.

Audible
You cant read a book while driving, or can you? Audible is the largest and most popular library of audiobooks. With the Audible app, you can enjoy listening to an audiobook while on the go.

Now you don’t need to stay away from your book while you’re on the road. Apart from audiobooks, Audible also offers an impressive collection of podcasts.
Waze
While most people stick to Google Maps for navigation, Waze offers some exclusive features that may make you reconsider your choice. Apart from offering a great navigation service that is on par with Google Maps, Waze also lets you know about any accidents that may have taken place on the road. Waze is a crowdsourced app, so its users report any accidents or other happening on the road. Apart from that, Waze also gives you additional information about your route like the gas stations on the way, police checks, and traffic status.
WhatsApp
Closing out this list is the most popular instant messaging platform in the world. WhatsApp is one of the most commonly used messaging apps by people worldwide so it is no surprise it comes with Android Auto support. You can use the voice assistant to listen to any new messages and even respond to them using voice-to-text. Making and receiving calls is still not possible as Android Auto does not have support for VoIP yet.Read Also:Top easy ways to earn Reddit Karma: Full Guide

Users of WhatsApp Desktop Beta will soon be able to blur photos. Before sending images, users can modify them and apply stickers using these tools and it will enable users to blur out any unnecessary or delicate information in images prior to actually sharing them. However, the Blur photo feature is currently available to Desktop Beta version users. For those who are unaware, this feature was exclusively available for the mobile app.A blur tool for photographs is reportedly being made available to some WhatsApp Desktop beta testers, according to a report by WAbetaInfo. You may easily and effectively remove private information from your photographs with the help of the blur tool.Image Courtesy: WABetaInfoYou can use a blur tool on your photographs, as shown in this screenshot. WhatsApp created two blur tools as part of the feature’s development so you may modify your photographs using a different blur effect. Additionally, you may pick the blur size so that the effect can be applied precisely.Try sending an image to see if the blur button appears to see if the functionality is already enabled for your account. If it does, you can start utilising the new drawing tool. If you still don’t have the blur tool despite it having been made available to certain beta testers, you’ll need to wait for a subsequent update because it will be made available to additional users over the next few weeks.WhatsApp plans to include a label stating if the message has been edited within the chat bubble in a future update of the app. Recent developments, according to WABetaInfo, suggest that the content will be accompanied by a label that reads “edited.” Users have 15 minutes to edit a message after it has been sent. Expect the feature to take some time to make an appearance in WhatsApp’s stable version as it is currently under testing. The “edit message” option simply provides a little time window for the sender to change the wording.“The feature is still under development, but due to the most recent WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.22.14 update, we discovered that there is finally news about how messages are marked as edited within a chat,” WABetaInfo stated.It looks like the newly added edited feature has taken the place of the “remove message” feature.

Online casino gaming saw a surge in popularity during the difficult times of 2020 and 2021 when land-based casinos were closed or operating under restrictions. Today, with things back to normal, many players have continued to play online. It’s been particularly noticeable in Canada, to the extent that lawmakers in Ontario and Nova Scotia rushed through online casino legislation in a rush to keep at least some of that gambling revenue at home, providing domestic alternatives to the offshore casino sites.
For the majority of players, gambling online means visiting the casino sites from their smartphones. Mobile devices are now the most popular way to get online, and iGaming companies adopt a mobile-first strategy when designing their platforms – Gamble Online provides a whole host of examples. But there are still many players who prefer to use a traditional desktop for casino gaming. Here we look at the pros and cons of each.
In This Article
Benefits of mobile casino gaming
Some of the key advantages of playing casino games from your smartphone are plain for all to see. Others might come as something of a surprise. Convenience is the number one benefit, and that applies to most aspects of mobile internet. You can play what you want, when you want, where you want.
A potentially more surprising benefit of mobile casinos is that some offer slightly superior payout rates when you use their mobile platforms. This is to encourage new players, who are most likely to be attracted to mobile play.
An advantage that cannot be overstated is customer support. This is not a hard and fast rule, but mobile platforms tend to be more responsive if you need help, providing instant access to customer service via chat, telephone or other messenger services. That’s not always the case when you play from your desktop.
Downsides of mobile casinos
The factor most likely to put players off mobile casino gaming is screen size. Of course, you can see what is going on more clearly when you have a desktop monitor. That, however, is the cost of any mobile internet activity, and also applies to viewing photos, streaming movies and so on.
A bigger issue can be security. That’s not the fault of the casino, it’s simply a fact that people do not take security so seriously on their phones as they do on their desktops. It goes beyond hackers – too many of us make it easy for criminals by leaving our phones lying around with the screens unlocked so anyone can access our gambling accounts or whatever else is on there.
Connectivity can also be an issue when you are out and about. Coverage in general is far better today than it was a decade ago, but there are still patchy spots and nothing is more frustrating than losing your connection mid-game.
On the whole, however, the 5G rollout is consigning these issues to history. As long as your eyesight is ok and you take sensible security precautions, mobile casino gaming has more pros than cons.

After more than an hour of downtime, WhatsApp service became operational. This is said to be the longest period of downtime reported by users in India and elsewhere where users were not able to access the well-known messaging service owned by Facebook parent Meta. This was the longest outage that WhatsApp has ever experienced, lasting for approximately two hours.Android, iOS, and desktop users were not able to send messages in chats or in groups, or make phone and video conversations starting around noon. Additionally, the WhatsApp Web apps were affected by the outage, and some WhatsApp settings, such as privacy and status settings, were also inaccessible. Additionally, users have gone to Twitter to voice their complaints about the service’s outages using the hashtag #whatsappdown. Over 27,000 users reported an outage of WhatsApp, according to the website tracking service Downdetector.Meta spokesperson in a statement to ANI said, “We’re aware that some people are currently having trouble sending messages and we’re working to restore WhatsApp for everyone as quickly as possible.”According to Downdetector, at about 12:30 PM on Tuesday, users in India started to report problems using WhatsApp, with about 2,610 incidents.The messaging service took some time to be restored but complaints didn’t stop for another hour even after the fix. The issues affecting WhatsApp had no impact on Meta’s other platforms, including Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram.According to Downdetector, users in Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, and other areas in India were found to be most affected by the outages.What specifically triggered today’s interruption of WhatsApp’s services remains unknown. A portal that monitors WhatsApp’s progress, WaBetaInfo, has earlier speculated on the details of the outage. They sent an update and explained that they had to wait for a remote fix because the problem was server-side.

YouTube has introduced a new design and also rolled out a number of features that are said to enhance how people watch videos while also providing a more contemporary and immersive viewing experience. Previously it was said to be under testing and is now being rolled out to the public. The dark mode has improved, links in the videos have transformed and have received other capabilities like pinch-to-zoom and more.The company via blog post made the announcement which said, ” YouTube just celebrated its 17th birthday earlier this year and we wondered if it was time to give it a small makeover. So we gathered input from thousands of viewers around the world and heard there was a desire for a cleaner, more lively design that better represents what we’re all about. Starting today, we are rolling out a new look and several features that offer a more modern and immersive viewing experience while also improving how users watch videos. But don’t worry, the same YouTube you know and love is still at our core.”Ambient mode uses dynamic colour sampling to add a subtle effect so that the app background colour changes to match the video. In order to lure users into the content and make the video even more prominent on the watch page, YouTube claimed that it was inspired by the light that screens put out in a darker environment. Both the web and mobile versions of this feature will support a dark theme. The dark theme has been updated to be even darker after receiving a lot of feedback, allowing the colours to stand out on your screen. It will launch on the web, mobile devices, and smart TVs. Additionally, Video playlists will use the same colour scheme and now provide additional information about each playlist so that viewers can easily get started.The watch page on YouTube is now simpler to read, Links to YouTube will now appear as buttons in video descriptions, and frequent actions like “like,” “share,” and “download” have been formatted to reduce clutter. The subscribe button is also receiving a makeover, while it’s no longer red, it’s easier to spot and far more accessible to everyone on both watch sites and channel pages thanks to its new shape and high contrast.Pinch to zoom and precise seeking have also been made available to all users of YouTube as of right now, following the introduction and testing of many new product features on youtube.com/new earlier this year. You may now effortlessly zoom in and out of a video while using your iOS or Android phone thanks to pinch to zoom. The video stays to be zoomed in after you let go, allowing you to view the rest of it in more detail.With Precise Seeking, you can make precise adjustments to jump to the precise section in each video whether you’re on a desktop or mobile device by simply dragging or swiping up while seeking to display a row of thumbnails in the video player. Long pressing anywhere on the video on YouTube gives you the option to search, and double tapping with two fingers lets you skip chapters. Additionally, a graph that displays commonly watched sections of videos has been included.

Reddit is one of the biggest link aggregator websites in the world. Like Facebook and Twitter, Reddit has a ‘like’ counter of its own. A ‘like’ on Reddit is called an ‘upvote’. Reddit also allows its users to ‘downvote’ a post, unlike Facebook or Twitter. This means that the content that makes it to the front page on Reddit is decided by the net score received by the post. Reddit profiles also have a net cumulative score for all the upvotes and downvotes that the user receives on every post or comment they make. This is called Reddit ‘Karma’. In this article, we show you the top easy ways to earn Karma on Reddit.Read Also: Top Simple Ways to Use Chrome Extensions on an Android Mobile Browser
In This Article
How is Reddit Karma calculated?
Most users think that your Reddit Karma is the direct reflection of your net upvotes and downvotes. This is only partly true. Once your post starts getting upvotes, the net score (after calculating the downvotes) is added directly to your Karma. However, after a post hits a certain number of upvotes, not every upvote counts as one Karma point. You will need a certain number of upvotes to increase the Karma count by one. Reddit does this to make sure bots do not game the system by reposting popular content on the website.
How can I earn Reddit Karma?
Here are some of the easy ways you can earn Karma on Reddit.
Comment or post in r/FreeKarma4You
If you have just made a Reddit profile, you may have noticed that your comments get removed by the Automoderator on most subreddits simply because you don’t have enough Karma required to post on that subreddit. Most subreddits take this measure to avoid comments from bots and banned users who use a fake account to get around the ban. If you’re a new user, this may come across as annoying since you cannot gain Karma without participating in the first place. Communities like r/FreeKarma4You exist to help new users reach a certain amount of Karma so they can participate in whichever subreddit they want to. You can get immediate upvotes simply by commenting on any post on that subreddit or making a post of your own.
Comment in Rising posts
Now that you’ve got the minimum karma required to participate in larger subreddits, you can freely comment and post whatever you like as long as follow the subreddit rules and Reddit Etiquette. Commenting on ‘Rising’ posts increases the chances of your comments being seen by a greater number of people, leading to more upvotes. Simply switch to the ‘Rising’ tab and you’ll be able to see which posts are getting the most traction on the subreddit. Commenting on older posts severely decreases the chances of your comment being seen as all the upvoted comments have already made their way to the top. Since Rising posts are almost always new, your comments get more visibility leading to a greater chance of gaining more Karma.
Post meaningful comments
If you want your comments to get upvoted, make sure they contribute something of substance to the post. Instead of making cursory comments, post something that either expands on the subject or starts a discourse. On the flip side, going into too many unnecessary details can discourage other users from reading your comment. If you’re about to post a long comment, make sure you attach a tl;dr (short summary of what you wrote) with it.
Participate in larger subreddits
Larger subreddits like r/askreddit, r/music, and r/videos get a lot of regular traffic at all times of the day. Your comments and posts will reach a larger number of users if you participate in those subreddits. Since they are large communities, make sure you read the rules and content guidelines before posting, to prevent Automoderator from flagging your post.
Post unique and original content
Since there are millions of daily active users on Reddit, reposts are far too common. Unique and original posts are more appreciated by the users and have a greater chance of getting upvoted. Make sure the content you post is relevant to the subreddit. Browse through the ‘Hot’ and ‘Top’ posts of the subreddit first to get an idea of what kind of content is typically popular within that community.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I buy Reddit Karma?
No, you cannot buy Reddit Karma. You can only gain it by participating on the website. You can participate by posting a comment or creating a new Reddit post.
What can I do with Reddit Karma?
Outside of Reddit, you cannot do anything with Reddit Karma. Even within the platform, Reddit Karma serves no purpose other than making your comments a little credible. Comments from a profile with a negatively Karma score may not be taken seriously by other Reddit users.Read Also: Best ways to Fix ‘Sleep Tracking Not Working’ on Apple Watch
Conclusion
These are the top easy ways to earn Reddit Karma. If a recent comment or post you made on Reddit gained a lot of upvotes, it can take some time for it to reflect on your Karma. This is because, after a certain number of upvotes, the Reddit algorithm limits the effect it can have on your net Karma. Downvotes are capable of lowering your Karma score, so make sure you always follow the Reddit Etiquettes while posting or commenting on Reddit.

In this article, we bring you the 10 best websites that let you legally download music for free.Read Also: Top Simple Ways to Use Chrome Extensions on an Android Mobile Browser

The best way to get your cracked Apple Watch screen repaired is by sending it to an authorised Apple repair centre. While iPhones and other Apple products can get repaired in the Apple Store, Apple Watches get relayed to the Apple repair centre. This is because Apple doesn’t ‘repair’ a cracked screen, it simply sends you a new or refurbished unit back. If you take your Apple Watch to an Apple Store, they will simply forward it to the repair centre.
Screen cracks aren’t covered by an Apple warranty. If you end up damaging your Apple Watch’s screen, you will have to pay extra for repairs. However, if you use the Apple Watch Series 2 or Series 3, there is an Apple Watch Screen Watch Replacement program that may help you get your screen fixed for free. Under this program, if a crack develops around the dial of your Apple Watch Series 2 or Series 3, you can get it replaced for free as long as the watch is still under warranty.
Getting the screen of your Apple Watch repaired can cost you anywhere between $219 to $800, depending on the model of your watch. Usually, repairing the Apple Watch SE is considerably cheaper than, say, the Titanium Apple Watch. Apple also has a ‘Get an estimate’ tool on its Support website, which you can use to figure out the ballpark amount when it comes to the cost of repairing your watch’s screen. If you have an Apple Care+ plan, the repair costs will be considerably lower.

If you have just made a Reddit profile, you may have noticed that your comments get removed by the Automoderator on most subreddits simply because you don’t have enough Karma required to post on that subreddit. Most subreddits take this measure to avoid comments from bots and banned users who use a fake account to get around the ban.
If you’re a new user, this may come across as annoying since you cannot gain Karma without participating in the first place. Communities like r/FreeKarma4You exist to help new users reach a certain amount of Karma so they can participate in whichever subreddit they want to. You can get immediate upvotes simply by commenting on any post on that subreddit or making a post of your own.
Now that you’ve got the minimum karma required to participate in larger subreddits, you can freely comment and post whatever you like as long as follow the subreddit rules and Reddit Etiquette. Commenting on ‘Rising’ posts increases the chances of your comments being seen by a greater number of people, leading to more upvotes. Simply switch to the ‘Rising’ tab and you’ll be able to see which posts are getting the most traction on the subreddit. Commenting on older posts severely decreases the chances of your comment being seen as all the upvoted comments have already made their way to the top. Since Rising posts are almost always new, your comments get more visibility leading to a greater chance of gaining more Karma.
Larger subreddits like r/askreddit, r/music, and r/videos get a lot of regular traffic at all times of the day. Your comments and posts will reach a larger number of users if you participate in those subreddits. Since they are large communities, make sure you read the rules and content guidelines before posting, to prevent Automoderator from flagging your post.
