So, here we are… A year after the original post, 25 years in IT, and I found kindred spirits…

It is amazing how choice of words can mess you up… :slight_smile:

As it’s a thing, here’s mine: 30 years working in IT including 8 years as a SWE on Chrome and TL of Android WebView, and I never thought of the browser cache when seeing this message. I’m so happy Google brought me here.

and, scroll down to “cookies and website data”…

  • and “clear cache”

Based on the information provided in the forum thread, the combined years of experience of the participants who mentioned their tenure are as follows:
• edgehassio: 20 years in IC design.
• TimGV: Close to 40 years in the IT industry.
• Heyian: 20 years in IT.
• chimeranzl: 30 years in IT.
• DataLohr: 18 years in IT.
• pcsmith811: 25 years in IT.
• Russell Nile: Over 40 years in the industry.
• sneakyvv: 23 years in IT development.
• algopt: Started professionally in IT in 1995, which would amount to approximately 30 years by 2025.

• Futzy: Since 1984, totaling 41 years by 2025.
• jacoh: 25 years in IT.
• joth: 30 years working in IT.

Summing these figures:

20 + 40 + 20 + 30 + 18 + 25 + 40 + 23 + 30 + 20 + 41 + 25 + 30 = 342 years.

Therefore, the combined experience of the individuals who specified their years in the forum post is 342 years.

PS. I’m here because Frigate card update says I need to reset my front end cache. I figured it meant a setting within HA somewhere…

that is exactly the type of rabbit hole i lead myself down frequently!

I’m not an IT professional, but i am an old fart. it’s nice to know my type of crazy is not as unique as it feels sometimes.

i found this post for basically the same reason as everyone else here (bubble card update) and come to find the solution was something i would have just done anyway without even thinking (kill and reopen the Android companion app).

I took a summer job when I left high school in 1981 working on TRS-80s for Tandy Electronics. I’ve been in IT ever since.

And I still needed to come here just to hear that I should clear my browser cache - d’oh!

LOL - Worth popping back into this thread to have a read what’s been going on.

Since I finally made an account here, I’ll chime in as well.

I’m just glad this thread existed because I also was looking for an advanced setting in the app somewhere. 40-some years working with computers, over 30 of that as a career, and I didn’t realize we were talking about the browser cache until I found this thread on a search either.

I’m just glad those decades of experience taught me to Google and search forums like this before posting a question! :slight_smile:

ETA: I started on a TRS-80 model 3 in high school and then an 8088 since we’re all dating ourselves. :smiley:

Oh well, it’s Valentine’s weekend and “you do you” :stuck_out_tongue:

ROFL.

Huzzah for Discount Chocolate Day!! My hubby and I don’t celebrate it, since it’s a mostly manufactured holiday and the celebrations usually involve “ew, people”. But we do head out on the 15th to stock up on chocolate! :smiley:

But don’t shame DIY. Putting on my nurse educator hat, it’s normal and healthy!
