Smartphone deep clean: Step-by-step guide to clean your phone inside and out

One of the best parts of getting a new phone is how fresh, shiny and new it is — inside and out. The screen is scratch-free, your storage is blissfully empty and it runs like a dream. But before long, it loses its luster. Even if your phone is relatively new, it probably still needs a good cleaning. Over just a short period of time, things like cookies, location services and ad networks could start causing problems behind the scenes. They could even pose privacy and security risks.

A metal detector and a mystery: Class ring found 53 years later

Have you ever lost something meaningful, like a piece of jewelry? It’s not always a lost cause, as one Ohio man found out during the search for his high school class ring that was missing for more than 50 years. John Schick was 17 when he lost the ring while washing a car in the backyard of his parents’ house in 1967. 

Last year, he moved into a house only two doors down from his childhood home and started to think about that old ring again. He reached out to a metal detector hobbyist on Facebook for help and got permission from the current owners to search the backyard. It didn’t go well at first, and they almost called it quits when the detector found it! The ring looked brand new because, like this story, it was pure gold. Not everything is that personally valuable, so why keep it?
