The notch is notable because Samsung mocked Apple for the design previously, so it’s interesting to see the company choose to embrace the design with its latest tablet....

Note: This should work on Firefox 2 or 3.

Note: I’m assuming you already did the normal Windows fix-it technique of rebooting, and the problem still exists. Fix for Notification Icons are Missing and Checkboxes are Grayed Out...

“Picture an energetic community with the warmth and charm of a small town and the beauty of a resort,” said Disney Parks, Experiences and Products exec Helen Pak in a video showing off the project.

For example, maybe a lamp in one room turns off right away, then 30 minutes later the TV turns off....

You don’t have to use the stock apps that came with your phone. Google has a phone app that can be installed from the Play Store on most Android phones. There are other third-party options as well.
