This update also adds a "modern" inking experience to the mix. Other tweaks include pull-to-refresh and the ability to reorder sections. If you've been waiting for OneNote on Android to finally jump on the dark mode wagon, the time has arrived. Microsoft announced this week that dark mode is now rolling out to OneNote for Android on phones and tablets, bringing it up to par with the iOS app. There are also several other tweaks coming along with this update, including a "modern" inking experience. The dark mode is pretty straightforward. You can enable it from your app settings, at which point you'll be prompted to close the app and open it again to set the theme. The white background of the app is then replaced with a black background and text that's white or grey. The look can also be set to

Another Galaxy S20 camera update with various fixes is already in the works

http://bit.ly/394iGai This is going to be a talking point for a good long while. What you need to know Samsung will release another software update to address early Galaxy S20 camera issues. Issues with auto focus are one of a handful of early complaints among testers. It isn't known when this update will be released. If you're really deep into the talking points surrounding the Galaxy S20's launch, you'll know that the camera is at the core of the discussion. Not only talking about its capabilities and how good the photos are, but also some very specific complaints about its shortcomings. It isn't promising much yet, but knowing an update is in the works is at least comforting. Even though the Galaxy S20, S20+ and S20 Ultra aren't even on sale yet, only pre-order , with a retail launch set for March 6, there are a good number out in the wild being closely evaluated by media outlets — including us, of course. The Galaxy S20 Ultra in particular

Watch Survivor: Winners at War online from anywhere with ease

http://bit.ly/2Prv6Bi Twenty past winners of the show do battle to win two million dollars. It's now 20 years since Survivor hit TV screens, pitting groups of strangers together in an isolated location, where they must provide food, fire, and shelter for themselves while also completing challenges. To mark the 40th Season, this latest instalment of the show will be bringing back a select 20 of the 38 previous winners of the show. They'll be battling it out to win a bumper $2 million prize - a figure that CBS claims is the biggest in reality TV history. The competitors will once again be heading to a remote part of Fiji with Jeff Probst returning as host (and producer). Also making a reappearance is the controversial Edge of Extinction twist that was introduced in Season 38 which saw contestants remain in the show after they have been voted off. One notable omission however is the show's first ever-winner, and arguably most infamous contestant, Richard Hatch, who ha

Keep your Galaxy S20 thin and light with one of these cases

http://bit.ly/3c648sJ Samsung engineers its flagships to be as thin as possible, so why undo all that hard work with some monstrous tank of a case? These are thin cases that can add grip and light protection to your beautiful new Galaxy, whether you prefer thinner hard plastics or more adaptive and flexible silicone models. Best in the biz Totallee Thin Staff pick Totallee is one of the biggest names in ultra-thin cases, and it's the most liked thin case around. While it's pricey, it's darn good at doing what a thin case should, which is adding grip and scratch protection without any bulk at all. $35 at Totallee Grippy diamonds Spigen Liquid Air Yes, this case is a little thicker to accommodate the deeper texture across the back, but it's absolutely worth it for a grippy case with air-cushioned corners. We just wish it came in different colors, but black goes with everything. $11 at Amazon Microfiber-lined Zuslab Nano Silicone This affordable thin ca

The PS5 better support Bluetooth audio devices or I'm going to lose it

http://bit.ly/2uwPMk5 This is just ridiculous at this point, but Sony has made weirder decisions, so I wouldn't be surprised if the PS5 didn't support it. Just disappointed. Have you been met with that fun error screen on the PlayStation 4 that says it doesn't support Bluetooth audio devices? Well, you're not alone. Apparently, this is a feature and not a bug, and for reasons beyond my comprehension, the PS4 still doesn't support Bluetooth audio well. Weirdly, Sony's own DualShock 4 controller had Bluetooth support before Xbox's did, so this lack of support seems bizarre in every manner. I don't want this same issue to plague the PS5 . Sony is no stranger to the Bluetooth market, much like every other tech company out there. What makes this situation more absurd is that the PlayStation 4 supports other Bluetooth devices, but even Sony's own Bluetooth headsets aren't compatible with the console. That's just ridiculous. It's not som

Your Galaxy S20+ deserves only the best leather cases

http://bit.ly/391E6or In the constantly growing world of Android flagships, one of the most noteworthy right now is the Galaxy S20+.

However, without the right case, it's susceptible to severe damage. A leather case will ensure this doesn't happen, while simultaneously giving your S20+ a touch of elegance. Keep it official Samsung Leather Cover Staff Pick Samsung makes only one leather case for the S20+, and lucky for us, it's darn good. Before you scoff at the Leather Cover's high price, consider everything it's bringing to the table. Not only is there genuine leather on the outside, but Samsung also has a microfiber lining on the interior to give your S20+ a soft place to call home. The buttons are made of aluminum, there are six colors, and it's one of the least bulky leather cases out t
