This is the Hendo, the namesake of an inventor named Greg Henderson, and
it’s really more of a technology demo than something that’s going to
get you to work in the morning. Right now it’s effectively a parlor
trick, and it apparently only works in parlors lined with a one of a
small set of metals. But Henderson, who co-founded the hoverboard’s
parent company Arx Pax with his wife Jill, imagines the technology
that’s inside it could become a solution for keeping buildings from
getting destroyed in floods and earthquakes by simply lifting them up.
They also say that it could serve as a replacement for the systems that
currently levitate maglev trains. After two years in stealth mode,
Henderson’s 19-person startup, Arx Pax, is ready to start talking about
the hoverboard and is making the technology inside of it available to
the maker crowd on Kickstarter. Arx Pax is looking to raise $250K for
the campaign and will sell the technology for $299 in a 12-pound white
box it calls the Hover Engine developer kit. Buyers can take the hover
tech outside of the box and put it in anything they want to hover.
It happens to everyone, no matter what kind of make or model of device you own: as time wears on, your device starts to slow down and lag. It may be because you’ve downloaded power hungry apps or it may be because your cache has filled up to the brim. Regardless, it’s annoying and while sometimes a quick reboot will temporarily solve the issue, we’re delving a little bit further into some of the mains causes and solutions to these issues.
Clogged Memory
When you start to reach the limit on the SD card on your device, should you have one, you’ll notice that your device starts to slow down. If you’re showing signs of lag on your device and you’re using at least 80% of your storage capacity on your SD card, it might be time to go through your storage and do some cleansing.With SD Cleaner, or a similar app, it’ll log all the unnecessary files on your SD card that you can trash without any complications, mostly cached files and other miscellaneous files that will help clear up some space. However, always be careful when you’re deleting files and make sure you’re not deleting something important.
Clear the cache
Yeah, it seems super simple, but sometimes we forget that apps start to cache more and more data as time goes on. Thankfully, you can go through and delete the cache yourself manually by heading to Settings > Apps and selecting a particular app and then hitting the Clear Cache button. However, if you’ve got an abundance of apps, this will soon become really cumbersome and time consuming.
If you’re looking for a quicker method, you can grab an app like App Cache Cleaner, which will do all the work for you with a few taps on your device. It’ll list all the apps that currently have cached data stored on your device and then you can pick and choose which ones you want to clear, or do it all in one fell swoop.
