NewsUK fintech investment drops by almost double global averageGlobal fintech investments fell 20% compared to 37% in the UK, according to latest Innovate Finance figuresByKarl Flinders,Chief reporter and senior editor EMEAPublished: 10 Jan 2025 11:55 Investment in the UK fintech sector fell by 37% last year compared to 2023, but retained its leadership in Europe and was second place in global terms.The huge fall in investment was put down to tough market conditions which included rising interest rates, geopolitical instability, and a recalibration in venture-capital fund-raising, according to Innovate Finance, the industry body for fintech in the UK.In its latest global report, Innovate Finance revealed that investment in fintech fell globally by 20% to $43.5bn, compared with the 37% drop in the UK where $3.6bn was invested in fintechs.Innovate Finance CEO Janine Hirt was positive but warned against firms not to stop investing in innovation, with an increase in investment expected:The latest figures tell a compelling story of resilience and adaptability. The UKs ability to attract $3.6bn in fintech investment during a year of economic turbulence reflects the strength and dynamism of our ecosystem.However, this is no time for complacency. We know the upswing in investment is coming, and we need to ensure that the UK is at the front of the queue as a destination for venture funding when it doesShe added that the UK fintech industry needs to double down on innovation, market reforms and progressive regulation to ensure the UK retains its leading position.Economic secretary to the Treasury Tulip Siddiq said that around 3,000 firms support tens of thousands of skilled jobs across the country, but added: We cannot rest on our laurels.New growth-focused remits for the regulators will support innovation in the sector, and we will set out further action to maintain the UKs position as a world-leader in fintech when we publish the first-ever Financial Services Growth and Competitiveness Strategy in the spring.One fintech leader, who wished to remain anonymous, said there is money to be invested, but the days when investors would spend money on lots of firms knowing that a couple will pay off big are over. The days in 2021 of prey and spray are over, with investors looking at fewer safer investments.You can see why this approach was used in the past because if you made, say, 20 investments, it was very likely a couple would do very well.Maria Scott is CEO of Tania Technology, part of the regtech subgroup of fintech supplying software that automates regulatory compliance for financial services firms.She agreed that investors have changed their approach, adding: There is definitely money out there and there is a focus of profitability and sustainability among fintechs...[there is currently] huge investment in generative AI, across all sectors.Innovate Finance said major deals, including $621m for fintech bank Monzo, highlighted the sectors ability to attract significant funding despite the downturn, but it also reported that female-led fintechs saw a sharp 78% drop in investment, which it said underscores the need for more inclusive funding practices.According to Innovate Finance, the governments planned Financial Services Growth and Competitiveness strategy will include action on building the UK as a leading centre for blockchain and digital assets, delivering the next phase of Open Banking and clear plans for Open Finance, implementing a joined up and tech-enabled anti-fraud strategy, and developing regulatory culture and capability to support innovation.Read more about fintechIn The Current Issue:What do the home secretarys policing reforms mean for the future of the Police Digital Service?What are the security risks of bring your own AI?Download Current IssueFear the technologists, not the technology?

Over time, many devices can slow down, but the good news is there are simple ways to improve performance. One quick fix is restarting the device, which can solve many common issues. Another effective solution for speeding things up and freeing storage is to clear cached data from apps and websites.In this guide, I'll show you how to clear cached data, with easy instructions to help you find the right settings on Android devices. The steps outlined may vary slightly depending on your Android device's manufacturer and software customization. However, the general process is the same and this tutorial should help you get on the right track.If you're an Apple user, here'show to clear the cache on an iPhone.How to clear cached data from Android appsWhat you'll need: You just need an Android device and some apps. Keep in mind, though, that the location of the cached data settings might vary depending on your Android version and device model. 1. See all the apps installed on your Android device To quickly check all the apps on your Android phone or tablet, open the Settings app. From there, scroll until you see Storage, and tap on it. Then, look for the Apps option. On some Android devices, you may not see Storage and you can go straight to Apps from the Settings menu.Note: If you're having trouble finding the Apps section, you can always use the search bar at the top of the Settings app to help.Also:Change this Android setting to instantly double your phone speedOnce you're in the Apps section, some Android versions make it easy to see which apps take up the most space.

Clear the cache of apps installed on your Android device Pick any app from the list to clear its cache. Just a heads up, I recommend choosing an app you installed rather than a system service like Android System Intelligence. I've had mixed results when clearing the cache of system apps, so it's best to stick to clearing the cache for apps you've added yourself.Once you open an app, you'll see details like its size, user data, cache size, and the total storage it's using. At the top of the page, you'll see two options: Clear storage and Clear cache.Also: How to factory reset your Android phone without unlocking itTap Clear cache to remove the stored cache for that app. Avoid tapping Clear storage, though, since that will reset the app, and you'll need to set it up again.

Each option includes a short description explaining what it does and how it might affect your browsing experience. For example, clearing cookies and site data will log you out of many (if not all) websites. Clearing cached images and files might cause Chrome to load images a bit slower the next time you visit a site.Pick the data you want to delete, choose a time frame, and then tap the Clear data button at the bottom. ZDNETOptional: A simpler way to clear Chrome's cacheOn newer versions of Chrome for Android, tapping the menu button will show an option called "Clear Browsing Data". When you tap this option, a popup will appear allowing you to clear browsing data from a specific period.If you choose More Options, you'll be taken to the Browsing Data screen, where you can select the data to delete and choose the time range. ZDNETFAQ Show more What does cached data mean?Cache is temporary storage that holds data like images, files, and scripts from websites you've visited or apps you've used to help them load faster. When you clear cached data, whether for Chrome or any app, you remove the files they've stored on your device. For example, in Facebook, cached data might include profile pictures, photos, and videos.Deleting cached data from the Facebook app will remove these temporary files on your device, which means the app could take longer to load content the next time you use it. But this approach won't affect the accounts you visit, posts, or your personal information.Will clearing cache delete all your app data?No, clearing the cache of an app won't delete important data like login credentials or saved settings. It only removes temporary files that help the app load faster, so you won't lose any crucial information.Will clearing cache make your Android device faster?Yes, clearing the cache can free up storage and remove corrupted or outdated files that may slow down your device, leading to smoother performance.How often should you clear your cached data?It depends on your device's performance. If you're noticing slowdowns or other issues, clearing the cache can be part of troubleshooting. Otherwise, you might only need to do it once every three or six months.Is clearing cache just about gaining storage space?Not exactly. One of the first things you should do when dealing with bugs or issues in an app is clear the cache. Often, cached files become corrupted or outdated, and clearing them forces the app to rebuild the cache, which can solve the problem. So, clearing the cache can help fix issues, not just free up storage. Neat, right?Can you clear the cache for all Android apps at once?There isn't a built-in feature to clear the cache for all Android apps simultaneously, but you can go through the list of apps and clear their cache individually.See also

Heres what we know so far.Elon Musk X Postings Come Under National Security Scrutiny In The U.K.The Mirror newspaper and the BBC have reported that tweets, or more accurately X postings as they are known now, by the social media platform owner and free speech absolutist Elon Musk are being monitored by a U.K. Home Office agency tasked with reducing national security risks.This follows numerous recent X postings in which Elon Musk has gone on the offensive regarding reports into child abuse grooming gangs in Britain and the response of the Labour government led by Sir Kier Starmer. The U.K. Prime Minister has already responded, without naming Musk directly, to those who are spreading lies and misinformation as far and as wide as possible, in the hope that the media will amplify it.MORE FOR YOUThe media, in this case the Mirror and the BBC, however, are now amplifying unnamed sources that have confirmed the Home Office and the Homeland Security Group within it. The Mirror said it understood that extra monitoring to assess content and the reach of what is being shared on social media site X, while the BBC said that Elon Musk is being monitored along with other accounts that also have large numbers of followers.The Homeland Security Group, which was previously called the Office for Security and Counter Terrorism, has a brief to reduce national security risks to the UKs people, prosperity and freedoms and focuses on the highest harm risks to the homeland, whether from terrorists, state actors, or cyber and economic criminals, according to the Home Office.This is a developing story and I will update it when more information is forthcoming.

Walgreens Boots Alliance reported a $265 million loss in its fiscal first quarter ended November ... [+] 30, 2024, despite what the company chief executive said was early progress en route to a company turnaround that will take time, the company said January 10, 2025. In this photo, a sign sits in front of a Walgreens store on November 10, 2023 in Wheeling, Illinois. (Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images)Getty ImagesWalgreens Boots Alliance Friday reported a $265 million quarterly loss while citing what the drugstore chains chief executive called early progress en route to a company turnaround that will take time.The retail pharmacy giant, which has been closing stores and cutting costs, reported a net loss of $265 million, or 31 cents a share in its fiscal first quarter ended Nov. 30 of last year. That compares to a year-ago loss of $67 million or 8 cents a share.The fiscal first quarter earnings statement comes in the wake of a report a month ago that Walgreens is considering a sale to private equity firm Sycamore Partners. The company has previously discounted that report, saying executives dont comment on rumors or speculation.And on Friday morning, neither Walgreens press release, earnings statement nor CEO comments offered any indication that such a deal was in the works. Rather, Walgreens executives say they are focused on their own turnaround."Our first quarter results reflect our disciplined execution against our 2025 priorities: stabilizing the retail pharmacy by optimizing our footprint, controlling operating costs, improving cash flow and continuing to address reimbursement models, Walgreens Boots Alliance chief executive Tim Wentworth said in comments accompanying the earnings report. While our turnaround will take time, our early progress reinforces our belief in a sustainable, retail pharmacy-led operating model."MORE FOR YOUForbes2024 Forbes Healthcare Summit | The Future Of PharmacyWalgreens said its quarterly loss includes costs related to the footprint optimization program and an after-tax charge for fair value adjustments on variable prepaid forward derivatives related to the monetization of its shares in the big drug distributor Cencora.Walgreens, which holds a minority stake in Cencora, began reducing its stake in the distributor, formerly known as AmerisourceBergen, and other businesses over the last three years to raise money for reducing debt as well as other priorities such as the creation of a new specialty pharmacy business and putting more healthcare services in its stores.In the first quarter, Walgreens sales rose 7.5 percent to $39.5 billion driven largely by improving pharmacy sales and a solid quarter in the companys international segment.In particular, U.S. retail pharmacy sales increased 6.6% to $30.9 billion thanks largely to pharmacy sales that jumped more than 10% in the quarter benefiting from higher branded drug inflation and prescription volume. The pharmacy performance helped to offset the ongoing problems in the front end of the stores with retail sales decreasing more than 6% thanks to a a weaker cough cold flu season and lower sales in discretionary categories.Meanwhile, the companys U.S. Healthcare segment, which includes the primary care business VillageMD and the CareCentrix home care business, had first quarter sales of $2.2 billion compared to $1.9 billion in the year-ago period with growth in all businesses compared to the year-ago quarter. The improvement in U.S. healthcare helped narrow operating losses in the segment to $325 million compared to $436 million in the prior year.

WTF?! PC gamers may have done everything they can with RGB lighting, so some manufacturers are transitioning to a new trend letting users put screens all over and inside their desktop towers. Thermaltake is bringing things to the next level by equipping its new CPU cooler with a curved display that shows diagnostic info or whatever images users upload. Thermaltake exhibited two new CPU coolers with unusual screens at CES, one of which curves around the unit. The displays could help users personalize their PCs or provide crucial information when glancing at towers with glass exteriors.The MAGCurve 360 Ultra ARGB Sync AIO liquid cooler includes an L-shaped 6.67-inch AMOLED screen with an ultrawide 2,400 x 1,080 resolution. It can display a clock, the weather, diagnostic information, photos, GIFS, and videos. Meanwhile, the MAGFloe 360/240 packs similar functionality into a smaller 3.95-inch 480 x 480 LCD screen.Users can control the screens with the TT RGB Plus desktop software or the TT PlayLink mobile app. The mobile app allows users to upload content from their personal galleries and stream live content directly to the water block display.The MAGFloe 360/420 includes three SWAFAN EX fans with MagForce 2.0 connectors and swappable blades for switching airflow between intake and exhaust modes. The Pogo pin contact pads facilitate cable management.Thermaltake isn't the only manufacturer to recently put a screen somewhere on or inside a PC chassis. Last year, MSI exhibited a desktop with a vertical 1080p display covering the front panel. It displays diagnostics, fan controls, voltage sliders, and shortcuts to frequently used apps. Furthermore, it can serve as a traditional monitor, offering users more screen real estate for browsers or Discord windows. Meanwhile, the Asus ROG Thor III power supplies feature detachable magnetic OLED screens that allow users to monitor power draw more easily. // Related StoriesAt CES, Corsair introduced the Xeneon Edge a 14.5-inch 2,560 x 720 LCD touchscreen that can sit on a desk or magnetically mount onto various surfaces. It includes USB-C and HDMI connections. The full extent of its software support is unclear, but the Xeneon Edge can simultaneously display system diagnostics, a music player, the time, and more. It can also act as a secondary screen.Pricing and release details for Thermaltake's coolers are forthcoming, but they will be available in multiple colors. The MAGFloe offers black and snow options, while the MAGCurve adds bumblebee yellow and gravel sand.

What just happened? The sad case of James Howells, the man who has spent the last decade trying to recover a hard drive containing $713 million worth (at the time of writing) of Bitcoin from a local landfill, may have come to an end. He sued his local council for the right to search the site last year, but a judge has thrown out the case before it went to full trial at the High Court. Howells has been unsuccessfully trying to persuade the council of Newport, Wales, to allow him to dig for the 2.5-inch drive for years. He even promised to donate 10%, or around $71 million, of the Bitcoin to the local community if allowed to carry out a successful search.In October, Howells sued the city for the right to search the landfill or pay him 495 million ($607 million) in compensation. He claimed in court that he has a "finely tuned plan" to recover the component, and that its position has been narrowed down to a small area.But the High Court judge in the case was not swayed by Howells' argument. Newport council had asked Judge Keyser KC to strike out the legal action, which he has now done.Judge Keyser KC reasoned that there were no "reasonable grounds" for bringing the case and "no realistic prospect" of succeeding at a full trial."I consider that the particulars of the claim do not show any reasonable grounds for bringing this case. I also consider that the claim would have no realistic prospect of succeeding if it went to trial and that there is no other compelling reason why it should be disposed of at trial," the judge said.Newport council's lawyers previously said that Howells has no legal claim to the drive, and that anything that goes into the landfill goes into the council's ownership. The judge has accepted this argument.Howells said he was "very upset" about the decision, which he called a "kick in the teeth." // Related Stories"The case being struck out at the earliest hearing doesn't even give me the opportunity to explain myself or an opportunity for justice in any shape or form. There was so much more that could have been explained in a full trial and that's what I was expecting," he said.The landfill holds more than 1.4 million tons of waste, writes the BBC. Howells said he has narrowed the drive's area down to a section containing 100,000 tons. He believes the Bitcoin on the drive will be worth 1 billion ($1.2 billion) next year.Howells quit his job to focus on the search full time. He has hired a team of data recovery engineers who, like his lawyers, are working pro bono there are questions over whether the data on the drive would still be accessible after more than a decade of sitting under a pile of rotting garbage.As for why he just doesn't give up, Howells said he could "spend the rest of my life working nine to five and thinking about [the fortune] every day," so he might as well keep trying to recover it.For those who've never heard the full story, Howells had two 2.5-inch hard drives stored in a drawer in 2013, one of which he intended to get rid of and another that had a digital wallet with 7,500 Bitcoin. He put the drive containing the crypto in a black trash bag during an office sort-out and left it in the hall of his house. His partner assumed it was there to be thrown away, so she took the bag to the local landfill, where it's been ever since.

Ive spent a few days with the new Redmi phone to see if I can live with the changes.Andy Boxall / Digital TrendsThe Redmi Note 13 Pro Pluss design was too faceless. It was a perfectly decent phone, but it had no identity, meaning I quickly forgot about it once I moved on to another phone. It didnt help that I was using the ordinary black version and not one of the brighter, more exciting colors, a problem repeated with my Redmi Note 14 Pro Plus review model.Recommended VideosHowever, Xiaomi (Redmi is a spinoff of the Xiaomi brand) has really improved the overall design, giving the phone its own unique look on the back. The camera module isnt quite square and not quite a squircle either, and I love the way it looks, especially when you get closer. The edge has a sloped, polished edge leading down to a coin edge design element reminiscent of a watch bezel.Redmi Note 14 Pro Plus (left) and Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus Andy Boxall / Digital TrendsThe rear Corning Gorilla Glass 7i panel seen here in Midnight Black, but also available in Frost Blue and a vegan leather Lavender Purple color is smooth with a matte finish and is scratch resistant, while the phone has an IP68 dust and water resistance rating. Its all a step beyond what youd expect, and this combination of finishes and overall design symmetry gives the phone an upmarket style. I really like it right up until I held the phone for any length of time.RelatedAndy Boxall / Digital TrendsThe decision was taken to shun the curved but squared-off edge of the Redmi 13 Pro Plus and adopt a more aggressive curve, leading to a sharper edge for the Redmi 14 Pro Plus. Sadly, it was the wrong decision, as the phone becomes uncomfortable to grip. The taper is just too sharp and a misstep compared to the well-judged side profile of the Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus.Is it a deal breaker? No, probably not to most people, but it does bother me. The way around it is to use the silicone case Redmi includes in the box, which softens the edges enough that you dont need to take a rest from holding the phone after a while. The downside is that it covers up the color of the phone (important if you choose one other than black) and hides the great design.Redmi Note 14 Pro Plus in its supplied case Andy Boxall / Digital TrendsUltimately, the decision to give the Redmi Note 14 Pro Plus sharp sides means Id recommend buying the Midnight Black version because youre almost certainly going to use the phone in a case. The one Redmi supplies in the box is decent quality, too. This seems like such a shame when the other colors look so good in photos. Lets take a closer look at the phones other features before you rush out and place an order.Andy Boxall / Digital TrendsThe biggest internal change over the previous model is a switch from a MediaTek Dimensity processor to a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor, which comes with either 8GB or 12GB of RAM and 256GB or 512GB of storage space. The battery capacity is up a little to 5,110mAh, and it supports Xiaomis 120W HyperCharge wired fast charging, but theres no wireless charging.On the front is a 6.67-inch AMOLED screen covered in Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 with up to 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 3,000 nits. I have not had any problem seeing the screen in bright winter sunlight, and viewing angles are excellent with little reflection. Its a shame the HyperOS software interface is based on Android 14 though, putting the Redmi Note 14 Pro Plus behind many other phones which come with Android 15 installed out of the box.Disappointingly, the cameras specification appears identical to the Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus, leading with a 200MP main camera with optical image stabilization (OIS) and joined by an 8MP wide-angle camera and a 2MP macro camera. Yes, the two worst additional cameras you can find on a modern smartphone. Ive taken a selection of photos with the Redmi 14 Pro Plus to see how it performs.Andy Boxall / Digital TrendsI went into taking photos with the Redmi Note 14 Pro Plus not expecting that much from it. Sure, the 8MP wide-angle camera takes poor-quality, hazy photos, but this is not a problem unique to the Redmi phone. The app doesnt bother to provide a macro mode to make use of the pointless 2MP camera, leaving me with the main camera and an in-app optical grade 2x and 4x zoom option.1 of 7Andy Boxall / Digital Trends Andy Boxall / Digital Trends Wide-angle Andy Boxall / Digital Trends Andy Boxall / Digital Trends Andy Boxall / Digital Trends 2x zoom Andy Boxall / Digital Trends 4x zoom Andy Boxall / Digital Trends The main camera is good. It takes colorful, bright, and properly exposed photos that arent over-saturated. This was especially welcome on a day when the sun was bright but low in the sky, where a lesser camera would have struggled to get the balance right. The 2x zoom takes detailed photos and is perfectly usable, but the 4x mode is pushing the cameras ability a little, as detail gets lost when you look closely.1. 200MP (resized)2. 200MP cropped photoTheres a full 200MP photo mode, too, but youll want to use it carefully, as a single image can take up more than 100MB of space. As youd expect, the resolution is also huge 12240 x 1630 which means its possible to crop images down to zoom in on details without compromising on quality. It works really well in the right environment, as you can see from the two images above, where the center of the 200MP photo has been cropped down to the standard 4080 x 3060 pixels and it looks fine.Andy Boxall / Digital TrendsIf you own the Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus, then the Note 14 Pro Plus isnt a significant upgrade, and I prefer the shape of the old phone even if the design isnt as attractive, but for anyone looking for an upgrade to an older model, its a strong option. The price and availability havent been confirmed at the time of writing, but the Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus launched for 449 British pounds, or around $550, so its likely to be similar for the sequel.This puts it up against some serious competition, including the Samsung Galaxy A55, the OnePlus Nord 4, the Google Pixel 8a, and the Nothing Phone 2. These are all great purchases, and from my limited time with the Redmi Note 14 Pro Plus, it does deserve to be rated alongside them, even if I cant quite get on with the sharp edges. Put it in the supplied case, though, and youll never notice.Editors Recommendations
