Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can provide a content feed through a display interface. The content feed can include at least a snippet of a first content item that is associated with a preview time threshold. A determination can be made that the snippet of the first content item has been positioned within a viewport region of the display interface for a duration of time that satisfies the preview time threshold. Data associated with the first content item can be obtained from a content distribution system. The data associated with the first content item can be stored.

Embodiments apply user-specific usage patterns to estimate and preserve remaining battery life on a computing device. An amount of battery drain and an execution context are determined and stored for a plurality of recurring time periods. The execution context identifies operations executed by the computing device, signal strength, and other data describing the associated time period. If one of the operations is expected to be executed during a recurrence of at least one of the time periods, the expected execution is adjusted based on execution context and an estimated remaining battery life for the computing device. For example, the computing device may postpone or reschedule the operation for a time period during which the operation is expected to have a greater likelihood of completing successfully. In some embodiments, the battery preservation operations are automatically enabled at a particular threshold.

Systems and method for content presentation

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can send at least one request for streaming a content item. Data associated with at least one portion of the content item is streamed. A first rate at which the content item is encoded is determined. A second rate at which the content item is being streamed is determined. A need for adjusting the streaming of the content item is determined based at least in part on the first rate and the second rate. Streaming of the content item is adjusted. The adjustment causes the second rate at which the content item is being streamed to conform to the first rate.

Various technologies described herein pertain to transferring geospatial tiles for Wi-Fi networks. A geospatial tile specifies a geographic region and includes data pertaining to a plurality of Wi-Fi networks having respective geographic coverage areas within the geographic region. A mobile device can receive an indicator that corresponds to a geospatial tile for retrieval by the mobile device. Further, the mobile device can request the geospatial tile from a tile management system based upon the indicator. Upon receiving the geospatial tile from the tile management system, the mobile device stores the geospatial tile in a tile cache. Further, the mobile device can automatically connect to a particular Wi-Fi network from the plurality of Wi-Fi networks utilizing data for the particular Wi-Fi network included in the geospatial tile when the mobile device is positioned within a geographic coverage area of the particular Wi-Fi network.

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can determine an application feature causing an application to crash. A set of users is ranked based on application data. The application data comprises crash cause data indicative of the number of times the application feature caused the application to crash for a user. A high crash user group is determined based on the ranking the set of users. The application feature is disabled for the high crash user group. A subset of the high crash user group is periodically replaced with a set of new users not currently in the high crash user group.

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can obtain data corresponding to a first content item. The first content item can be rendered for display. The first content item can be presented through a display interface. A screenshot image of the display interface can be captured while the first content item is being presented. A determination is made whether the first content item was incompletely rendered based at least in part on the screenshot image.

Some embodiments include a computer server implementing a splitter engine to perform testing of a pre-production version of an application service against live traffic. The splitter engine can receive a client request for a live application service. The splitter engine can generate a live response by processing the client request through a live instance of a production engine. The splitter engine can select one or more request processors to process the client request and a processing order based on a request type of the client request. The splitter engine can process the client request through the one or more request processors according to the processing order after responding to the client request with the live response. The splitter engine can compare states of at least two of the production engine and the one or more request processors.
