Get rid of the Galaxy's most disappointing feature.Ever since Samsung announced the Galaxy S8 with its onboard assistant, Bixby, people have been asking for ways to disable it and forget the button ever existed in the first place. With the Galaxy S9, Note 9, that chorus became even louder. And with the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy Note 10 released in 2019, a whole new generation of customers looked to kill Bixby. And now with the Galaxy S20 and Note 20, we're at it all over again.Here's how to get rid of as much of Bixby as possible.Why do you want to disable Bixby?On phones where there's a dedicated Bixby button, one of the biggest frustrations is its placement; the button is right under the volume keys and nearly directly opposite the power buttons.

A controversial change that originally was slated for Android 10 becomes mandatory for all new apps in August 2020 and every app targeting Android 11.When Android 10 was still in its early beta days, Google had plans for a big change in the way that apps could access the files and folders in your phone's external storage (things like photos that you or other apps placed in the /data/media folder, not the SD card present in many Android models).This change was known as Scoped Storage, and its purpose was to kill the abuse of the READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permissions that so many apps and developers like to request.These changes were originally slated to apply to every app on a phone running Android 10 or later, but because of developer backlash Google changed course and only required the use of Scoped Storage for apps that target Android API level 29, which is Android 10. But with Android 11 Scoped Storage is back, and Google isn't likely to change its mind this time.Top 10 featur...

It beats out a deal we saw in February when it dropped to $280, which was its previous best price. The robot vacuum normally sells for around $380 and has even jumped as high as $450 since that February deal. Today's price is good only through the end of the day, so grab it while you can.The Roomba 891 uses a 3-stage system to clean wherever it goes. Those three stages are loosen, lift, and suction, and it's a system designed to work with dirt, dust, or even pet hair. The cleaning head can automatically adjust to the surface its on, adapting its height so the multi-surface brushes can engage directly with hard floors and carpet.The Dirt Detect sensors are unique to iRobot and can help the Roomba sense when there is a larger than normal concentration of dirt. This can be super helpful in the high-traffic areas of y...

One of Sony's biggest franchises will indeed be making a full return on PS5. Here's what we know so far.Gran Turismo has been one of Sony's biggest franchises since the days of the very first PlayStation. The tagline, "the real driving simulator" has always cut straight to the core of what Gran Turismo is all about, and generally speaking has received much praise over the years.Jump to:When does it release?Resolution and frame rateWill it support PSVR?Fan favorite circuit returnsWhat cars will it include?What are its features?Will it be on PS4?Gran Turismo esports and Getty Images But it's also hard to believe that the PS4 has gone by entirely without a new, full Gran Turismo game.
