If you own any kind of modern Mac, there are three basic ways to take a screenshot with keyboard shortcuts -- and if you have a MacBook Pro with a Touch Bar there's even a fourth method. Apple's MacOS software also gives you a fair number of options to easily save, delete and open the screenshot for markup. 

Milberg partner Natasha Pearman, who is leading the case, said: 'It [Sony] has deployed an anti-competitive strategy which has resulted in excessive prices to customers that are out of all proportion to the costs of Sony providing its services.' 

Earlier, RIA reported that Telegram messenger was hit with two fines totalling 11 million roubles ($179,000) for refusing to delete channels which allegedly showed how to "sabotage" military vehicles and hosting "unreliable data" about Russia's progress in what it calls a "special military operation" in Ukraine.

"I think it's a combination of everybody getting used to each other down in that region. You can never practice that region enough and we have to execute better, we have to coach better, we have to come up with better plays and we have to run the ball more.

‘I remember one Friday we were in Leeds and we were going for a little stroll to walk off the car journey, down a little cul-de-sac, and the manager made us stop at the end. He had us stretching, imagine opening your curtains now and seeing 20 England ladies in shell-suits at that time!

Potential beneficiaries of the claim do not have to take action to be included.
The case is funded by Woodsford, a team of litigation experts investing in large commercial claims, so those affected will not have to pay any of the costs of the action themselves. Sony was asked to comment.

Many popular games are free and make the majority of their money from paid addons, with figures showing £46bn was spent on in-game purchases in 2020.
Figures also show more than 60 per cent of adults in the UK regularly play a game on a console or mobile phone.

Her eight years with the national team were spent playing on boggy pitches that contained little grass.
But once she arrived at the Lionesses' luxury training pitch behind the impressive resort, she realised just how much times have changed since her first cap 35 years ago.

Matches at Wembley are becoming increasingly common for the Lionesses, but Scragg is one of the few women to have played at the old Wembley, having taken part in two 15-minute matches against Scotland as a warm-up to the men's FA Cup final between Manchester United and Crystal Palace in 1990.

First-year coach Nathaniel Hackett and quarterback Russell Wilson sat near the nine-time Pro Bowler's locker after Thursday's 12-9 loss to dissect what transpired without counting missed opportunities against the Colts.
