How to Clear the Cache on Your PS5 (Safe Mode) If your PlayStation 5 is sluggish, freezing, or acting oddly, clearing the system cache is a quick, low-risk troubleshooting step. Clearing the cache won’t delete your installed games, saved data, or account settings, but it can remove corrupted temporary files that cause lag or crashes. Why clear the cache? Removes temporary files that may be corrupted or outdated. Can fix slow menus, crashes that boot you back to the home screen, or networking glitches.

Apple & Google Remove Apps That Report ICE Agent Sightings Apple and Google have removed several apps — notably ICEBlock and Red Dot — that allowed users to report or view reported sightings of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

Why the apps were removed Safety concerns: Companies cited potential risks to law enforcement and others after a shooting at a Dallas ICE facility on Sept. 24; reports indicate the shooter had been following apps that track ICE agent locations.

CISA 2015 Expires in 2025 — What it Means for U.S. Cybersecurity The Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2015 (CISA 2015) has lapsed. This law provided legal protections to companies that share cyber threat indicators with federal agencies, shielding them from antitrust liability, regulatory enforcement, private lawsuits and FOIA disclosures. With the law expired, private–public information sharing could slow or become more legally complex — a win for attackers who rely on speed and secrecy. Why it matters Defenders rely on shared indicators and incident reports to detect and prioritize threats. Industry groups warned Congress that without CISA 2015, the security landscape becomes "more complex and dangerous." Slower sharing means defenders have less context and time to respond to sophisticated actors, including nation-states and criminal gangs. Political roadblocks Renewal efforts…
