How to clear your Android phone cache (and why you should do it before installing Android 16)

zdnet.com Elyse Betters Picaro 2026-03-16 01:30:00

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Google recently released Android 16 to Pixel devices and select OEMs, bringing performance improvements, new Material You changes, and more upgrades. If you want to try this update but are hesitant because you've noticed your Android phone or tablet already feels too sluggish, clearing app and browser caches can give it a fresh boost and free up some storage space. Over time, cached data can accumulate, become corrupted, or simply get outdated, which may slow down

I changed 12 settings on my Android phone to significantly improve the battery life

Kerry Wan/ZDNET I've spent large portions of my life looking for ways to extend the battery life on my Android phones. Admittedly, that sounds rather dramatic, but growing up with only budget models meant I was constantly tweaking device settings to squeeze every bit of juice out of their batteries. Thanks to this micromanaging, I successfully pushed the batteries on all my past smartphones to their absolute limit. I don't want to hoard this knowledge to myself, so I've decided to share it wit

How to turn off ACR on your TV (and what your TV stops tracking when you do)

zdnet.com Chris Bayer 2026-03-16 01:40:00

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Did you know that whenever you turn on your smart TV, you invite an unseen guest to watch it with you? These days, most popular TV models utilize automatic content recognition (ACR), a form of ad surveillance technology that gathers information about everything you watch and transmits it to a centralized database. Manufacturers then use your data to identify your viewing preferences, enabling them to deliver highly targeted ads. Also: 184 million passwords for Google, Microsof

A '70s performance artist who became a hero to 'garbage men'

news.ycombinator.com Ginia Bellafante 2026-03-13 10:24:18

The New York City Sanitation Department in the late 1970s was not an obvious place to find a warm welcome for feminist conceptual art. But the newly appointed sanitation commissioner, Norman Steisel, had arrived as an outlier in the world of municipal waste. Before he began his career in city government, first working in budget offices, he had been a graduate student in chemical engineering and applied mathematics at Yale, where he fell in with a crowd of M.F.A. students.

23 years ago I was in a bad place. I'd quit my first attempt at a PhD for various reasons that were, with hindsight, bad, and I was suddenly entirely aimless. I lucked into picking up a sysadmin role back at TCM where I'd spent a summer a year before, but that's not really what I wanted in my life.

Virtual cells Digital twins of biological cells—often referred to as virtual cells or whole-cell models (WCMs)–aim to recreate every relevant molecular process of a living cell in silico. This interdisciplinary endeavor marries systems biology, computational modeling, high-performance computing, and, increasingly, AI. All models are wrong, but some are alive.

For the athlete, the pitch deck consists of video and some metrics, posted on Twitter (the LinkedIn of college baseball).

Fast Rust Builds (2021)

Fast Rust Builds It’s common knowledge that Rust code is slow to compile. But I have a strong gut feeling that most Rust code out there compiles much slower than it could. As an example, one fairly recent post says: With Rust, on the other hand, it takes between 15 and 45 minutes to run a CI pipeline, depending on your project and the power of your CI servers. This doesn’t make sense to me. rust-analyzer CI takes 8 minutes on GitHub actions. It is a fairly large and complex project with 200k

New Study Backs Controversial Claim of 23,000-Year-Old Human Footprints in New Mexico

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2026-03-16 01:55:09

In 2021, researchers working in New Mexico published a paper that contributed to what remains one of the most controversial topics in American archaeology. The study describes human footprints in White Sands National Park dating to between 23,000 and 21,000 years ago, making them the oldest-known footprints in North America. This challenges long-held beliefs that the first North Americans were the Clovis people—named after artifacts found near Clovis, New Mexico—who arrived between 13,000 and 13

Even if you won’t, other people are already making close connections with “AI companions” or “falling in love” with ChatGPT.
