BleachBit: The open-source cleaner giving Windows 11 users precise, ads-free control

Windows 11 includes built-in cleanup tools, but BleachBit offers deeper, user-controlled cleaning of temporary files, caches, logs, browser data, and privacy-related data. The free, open-source tool avoids ads or bundled extras, explains options before removing them, and includes a Preview feature to estimate space reclaimed. It also supports secure file shredding and wiping free space, with both portable and command-line options. The article recommends using BleachBit alongside Windows 11’s built-in tools for thorough cleanup, cautions against risky actions (like registry cleaners), and emphasizes understanding what will be deleted (cookies, session data, etc.).

"EPA Mandates Polluters to Pay for PFAS Cleanup as Hazardous Substances Designated"

The EPA has designated two PFAS chemicals as "hazardous substances" under the Superfund law, allowing federal regulators to hold polluters accountable for cleanup costs. This move comes as a relief to local water utilities and communities facing PFAS contamination. While the designation enables the EPA to take emergency actions and sue polluters for recovery costs, it may not provide immediate financial assistance to impacted communities. Environmental advocates welcome the rule but call for more stringent regulations, emphasizing the widespread impact of PFAS chemicals on land, water, and communities.
