DanielNiccoli Ugh. Thank you. It is infuriating how little information there is about these notifications online. Basically next to nothing about them.

  iamjamieq dude! These things seem to be getting worse. I can't imagine who thought it would be a pleasant experience to throw these tips out every day for people who are using these products every day.
