Enable FIPS Mode on SLES 15 and Verify the Boot State
Follow SUSE’s SP7 procedure to enable FIPS mode, reboot safely, verify the active policy, and check whether your compliance requirement calls for validated modules.
Sent an email to the wrong person or spotted a typo right after hitting Send? Outlook lets you recall a sent email — but only if both you and the recipient use Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft 365, and the message hasn't been read yet. Here's how to do it in under two minutes. Knowing how to clear browsing history on Chrome helps you remove stored sites, cookies, and cached files that can slow down your browser or expose your activity.
Chrome stores every website you visit, along with form data, cached images, and cookies. Over time this collection grows large and can reveal personal information if someone else uses your device. Clearing the data regularly frees disk space and resets tracking elements from advertisers. The feature also lets you choose exactly which items to remove so you do not lose saved passwords or sign-ins you still need.
Before you begin, update Chrome to the latest version through the three-dot menu under Help → About Google Chrome. This ensures all menu options match the current interface. You can perform the process on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, or iOS with only minor differences in navigation.
Launch Chrome and click the three vertical dots in the top-right corner. Hover over History, then select History again from the submenu. On the left sidebar click Clear browsing data to open the dedicated panel.
In the new window select a time range from the dropdown: Last hour, Last 24 hours, Last 7 days, Last 4 weeks, or All time. Check the boxes for Browsing history, Cookies and other site data, and Cached images and files. Leave Passwords and other sign-in data unchecked if you want to stay logged into sites.
Click the Advanced tab to see additional categories such as Download history, Autofill form data, and Site settings. Uncheck anything you prefer to keep. When ready, click the blue Clear data button. Chrome removes the selected items immediately and shows a brief confirmation message.
On Android or iOS the path is slightly different. Open the Chrome app, tap the three dots in the top-right corner, then tap History. Tap Clear browsing data at the bottom of the screen. Select the same data types and time range, then tap Clear data to finish. The mobile version also offers a shortcut in Settings → Privacy and security → Clear browsing data.
Only if you also delete Cookies and other site data. Leaving that box unchecked keeps you signed in while still removing visited page records.
No. Once you confirm the clear action the data is permanently removed from your device. Google does not keep a backup you can restore.
Yes, especially if you had months of cached files. Many users report faster page loads and lower memory usage after clearing several gigabytes of accumulated data.
Regularly clearing your browsing data keeps Chrome running smoothly and protects your privacy on shared or public computers. Follow the steps above whenever you notice slowdowns or want a fresh start.
Follow SUSE’s SP7 procedure to enable FIPS mode, reboot safely, verify the active policy, and check whether your compliance requirement calls for validated modules.
Compare YaST and cryptsetup for a new encrypted SLES data volume, choose LUKS1 or LUKS2, and verify unlock and mount behavior safely.
Create, refine, and verify a least-privilege AppArmor profile on SLES 15 SP7, with a clear note on SLES 16’s SELinux default.
Set up RMT on SLES 15, mirror entitled repositories, and verify HTTPS registration and package access from a test client.
Connect SLES 15 to AD with YaST’s SSSD-based logon management, then verify directory lookup, domain login, and Kerberos tickets.
Set up the right Live Patching path for SLES 16.0 or 15 SP7, apply eligible kernel fixes, and confirm what is active without confusing it with a reboot-required kernel update.
Load a custom SLES 15 kernel module without disabling Secure Boot. Match the running kernel, sign the .ko file, enroll a MOK key, and verify loading.
SLES 15 SP5 can migrate online to SP6, but each node must reboot. Use a tested rolling upgrade or blue-green cutover to keep workloads reachable.
Use SUSE’s supported STIG profile to scan SLES 15, test remediation, review remaining findings, and retain assessment evidence.
Trace a failed Cockpit connection through DNS, port 9090, the systemd socket, firewalld, TLS, and login settings using current SUSE guidance.
