7 Pointer Checklist to Keep Your Tires In Good Condition

Your tires are one of the most essential parts of your vehicle. Your vehicle cannot go anywhere without your tires, no matter how good of condition your engine is in. Maintaining your tires will help your fuel efficiency and overall performance and safety on the road.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″ tdc_css=””]

We have seven tips to help you keep your tires in good working condition day in and out.

1)Rotation

Did you know that regular rotation of your tires will help extend the life? Most experts suggest that you should rotate your tires once every 10,000-12,000 miles or every six months.

Now, obviously, you can do it much sooner(if you need to), but that is the recommended suggestion.

2)A Wheel Alignment

There are two elements to this debate. Some suggest that you should get a wheel alignment every year. Others suggest that you get a wheel alignment every 25,000 km. Which one is right?

It depends on the situation you are in. Some can get by without having a wheel alignment for a year or so. Others need one sooner. It depends on the wear and tears your place on the car.

Some of the more severe impacts, such as potholes and railroad crossings, will lead to you needing a wheel alignment sooner. A car accident can also lead to needing one much sooner. Once again, it all depends on your situation.

Take a look at the current state of your tires.

3)Tire Inspection

Having a frequent tire inspection is a must. Now, some of you might not know what to look for. Have someone who knows what they are doing if that is the case. You need to look for things like tire bulges and punctures.

One small puncture, which if left untreated, can lead to something bigger. That is why regular inspections are necessary. That is not to say that you need to inspect your tires every second. That would be counterproductive. You should keep an eye on things such as tear wear, low tread, and other issues every so often.

What if I need new tires right away?

You could always check with your mechanic to see if they have the right tire in stock. Most of the time they will, but sometimes there is a tire shortage. When that happens, you might have to buy tyres online.

Make sure you know the size, model, and all information pertaining to your tire situation. That way you order the right one. You can always do some research prior to making a purchase if you need some extra help.

4)Seasons Change

Now, according to Canada, it is suggested that you change your tires every six months. That way you have summer and winter tires. Winter months tend to do more damage anyway.

The winter tires are designed to function specifically in the winter. Some people like to use their winter tires during the spring and summer months. The only problem with that is you will wear your tires down much faster.

Those who drive with uneven tires can have mechanical issues. You could even wear your tires down faster if they are uneven. That is why most car experts in the US abide by Canada’s rules.

The Penny Test

One quick way to know if your tires need to be rotated and/or changed is to do the penny test. Make sure the Queen’s head is facing down and put the penny into the tire groove. Do you see the top of the crown? Your tire needs to be replaced.

5)Tire Imbalance

Take a look at each tire right now. Does one of them seem to be a little unbalanced? That means that you need to rotate one and buy a new one. Imbalanced tires lead to unsafe driving conditions. You could cause an accident. You could wear down your tires faster.

Every time you have your tires rotated, you need to have them balanced. You also should have them balanced properly when you change them out or buy new.

6)Holes

We talked about tire punctures earlier, so let’s dive into that a little more. Make sure that you have the hole repair when you find one(no matter how small it is).

Some like to leave the hole unless it gets bigger. That is going to lead to other issues on the road. Take it to your mechanics. He or she might suggest you have a new one installed(depending on how bad the hole is).

7)Spare

Always have a spare with you. Make sure that it is stored properly and clean. Do not leave them out in the sun. That will cause deterioration of the tire. Moisture build-up can also cause issues, including low tread and poor performance. Buy a new spare if you suspect that the current one you have is not in good shape.

Here are the first 15 minutes of Mafia: Definitive Edition gameplay

A big step forward, especially in 4K

Mafia: Definitive Edition is more than a pretty facade of the original game in 2002; is a complete remake, which is lucky because the original definitely looks like an open-world game from 2002. We haven’t seen much of the gameplay in action, but now, above, there is a substantial 15-minute video gameplay.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

The video comes from IGN, and apart from the footage, there is not much in the sense of new information. Some features have been repeated, such as completely redesigned vehicles for “authentic periods”. There are also bikes, which as far as I know were not in the original game.

The ‘Trip to the Country’ mission dominates most of the video. If you are curious about what 2002 looked like, here is a gameplay of the original. If you like what you see, then the game will be out on September 25th.

Valorant

Valorant, a new hit game in the eSports scene developed by RIOT

Last month, a new tactical shooter was released on PC, developed by the popular Riot games. The new game is called Valorant and runs on Microsoft Windows only.

Riot games previously developed the popular hit, League of Legends, back in 2009. However, with their newest addition in 2020, Valorant is sure to be a success, or at least we hope with the legacy they’re building upon.

eSports teams for Riot’s new game were established as early as the beta, despite no leagues currently being available. Currently, the highest prize pool offered to teams was $50,000 – not bad for a newly released game.

Upon reading a variety of different sources, the average salary for a five-player team varies between $15,000 to $25,000 per month. However, some teams are paid considerably more due to additional streaming and an increased fan base.

So, what is Valorant, what’s the aim of the game, and is it worth downloading?

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″ tdc_css=””]

What is Valorant?

Valorant is a free-to-play tactical 5 vs. 5 first-person shooter. Many players had the benefit of playing the closed beta back in April, with the full game released on June 2nd, 2020.

The game is very similar to Counter-Strike, a game many eSports players are familiar with. However, the game is a combination of both Counter-strike and Overwatch, creating a tactical-hero first-person shooter many are sure to love.

Players have a choice of agents with unique abilities, these must be used effectively, able to make or break a round.

Whilst Valorant is free to download on any Windows device, there is, of course, in-game purchases. These include cosmetics for characters and weapons.

Whilst the game is still in its early days, new updates and patches are expected. The game runs smoothly and is a great play, especially for those who enjoy close counters combat mixed in with hero abilities to spice up the action.

To conclude

Valorant is a brand new first-person 5 vs. 5 shooter released last month (June 2020). The game is already providing a hit with eSports gamers, yet that’s no surprise as it’s developed by gaming giant, Riot – developers of League of Legends.

To make the action that little bit more fun, we recommend placing bets on your favorite players and teams on the Unikrn site. You can also place bets on other popular games such as League of Legends, Counter-strike, and Overwatch.

Finally, be sure to check out the best online slots between games, a great way to make some extra cash to get your hands on those rare cosmetics.

Galaxy Fold 2 Leak

Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 first image leaked

The leak came in the form of a very blurry image

A very blurry leak photo of the Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 has been showcased online. Leaker Ice Universe released two photos of the new foldable smartphone, which shows that it is expected to have a gold model and a better camera. It is not known exactly what the rear camera will be like, but it is rumored that it will be the same as the Galaxy Note 20.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

The leaked image also shows the front view and the small screen of the Galaxy Fold 2, but it is not known if the screen has been upgraded. The Galaxy Fold had a fairly small 4.6-inch screen on the front, while the large screen had dimensions of 7.3 inches. It is rumored that the Galaxy Fold 2 will have a 7.7 inch or 8-inch screen.

Overall, the Galaxy Fold 2 looks quite similar to the first version. The Galaxy Fold had numerous problems with the durability, which led to the delay of the smartphone launch, but the new version also had problems.

It is rumored that Galaxy Fold 2 will be cheaper and will have less memory. The Galaxy Fold started at a price of $1,980 and the foldable phones would definitely benefit from a cheaper price.

We expect to learn more about the Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 at the Samsung event on August 5th. The Galaxy Note 20, Galaxy Buds Live, Galaxy Tab S7, Galaxy Watch 3, and a 5G version of the Galaxy Z Flip are expected to be launched there.

Giving Educational Support for Girls Through Scholarships

Every student knows what a scholarship is meant for. For those at a socioeconomic disadvantage, their best chance at attaining quality education from their choice of school is with a scholarship. And if you happen to have a girl that you want to enrol at an all-girls school, there are scholarships for those schools.

Obtaining girls scholarships is a must if you don’t have enough funds to put your girls through high-school all around. It’s going to greatly lift off a lot of weight out of your shoulder financially, which is why you should take advantage of the scholarships as soon as possible to give your girls the proper education they need.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″ tdc_css=””]

How Important Scholarships Are for Girls

If you happen to observe your child performing well at school, giving them a chance to apply for a scholarship will benefit both you and your child. You won’t have to pay a lot since scholarships are financial aid to students.

Many underprivileged families have smart and bright girls, and the only thing that’s stopping them is their poor financial status. With girls scholarships, they will be able to help those families financially in terms of school expenses.

Getting Rid of Debt

Other families aren’t aware of scholarship programs, which would lead them to borrow large amounts of money. It’s going to put a huge strain on their children who may end up paying the borrowed money, and it’s not a good situation to put your girls in. Some girls cannot achieve a successful life and career for themselves because of parents disregarding scholarships. After finishing school, they should be able to live their lives the way they want without worrying about paying any debts made by the parents.

Many people around the world are in debt right now because of school expenses. Some would work part-time in jobs to pay for their school, and juggling work and school is difficult for anyone. But students have to concentrate on their school activities to ensure they achieve and become an excellent student at their school.

Achieving Your Child’s Dreams

Are your children eyeing on a profession they want for themselves? They should be able to achieve their dream without a problem with scholarships. There are instances where parents would stop education for their children due to financial problems. Halting their education can completely demotivate them and possibly make them lose interest in what they want for their future.

Scholarships are their stepping stone towards a life where they can come out on top and be the person they dreamed of. There’s nothing better than watching your child become a successful person, and a good way of getting it is through applying scholarships for them.

Once your child has gotten a scholarship, it will be a long journey ahead for her. There may be a few bumps on the road, but the journey will be fruitful because of the many opportunities she can get with the scholarship. Don’t waste time withholding your daughter to a good education now that you know about the advantages of scholarships.

Razer Huntsman Mini

The Razer Huntsman Mini is the company’s smallest keyboard

A 60% keyboard with improved red switches

Razer has unveiled a small version of its quite popular Huntsman keyboard. The Huntsman Mini is a 60% keyboard, which has no Numpad, command buttons, and arrows, being the smallest keyboard Razer has ever produced. So even smaller than BlackWidow Lite.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

Razer’s decision for a 60% keyboard comes from the growing demand from users for smaller keyboards. The Huntsman Mini will use Razer Optical Switches, but the new generation will have better noise due to the silicone parts, while you can choose between Purple with noise switches and Red without noise.

The Huntsman Mini will come in black and white. The version with Purple Switches costs €129.99 and the version with Red Switches costs €139.99.

Through the software’s, a contractor can transfer estimates to real numbers using research and actual variables. Below are the advantages of using the software.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″ tdc_css=””]

1. It Promotes Professionalism

Most customers prefer to work with a contractor who operates professionally. So, how do you differentiate a professional contractor from a manual one?

The system allows you to save vital construction estimation details for future bids.  You can save any specs, orders calculations, orders, and scope for the current projects and use them for the future.

4. Allows Better Project Management

Galaxy Note 20 Leak

The Galaxy Note 20 leaks in a 360 degree render

Samsung Galaxy Note 20, which is expected to arrive on August 5, has appeared in a new video posted by Evan Blass’s famous Twitter account, @evleaks, which reveals almost every aspect of this new smartphone.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

As you can see, the Galaxy Note 20 has a screen with a hole in the middle, and on the back three cameras lined up vertically along with the flash on the top-left side. The video also reveals that the “Power” button and the volume buttons are located on the right side, the S Pen on the left side, and the USB-C port on the bottom of the phone.

Beyond the render, we also have front and rear images which you can see below.

The front part shows a very similar design. It seems that for the Galaxy Note 20, Samsung will move towards a flatter display compared to the curved one that other models have had. From the back, it will be the triple camera setup, which reminds us a lot of Galaxy S20 cameras. Anyway, this time they look a bit thicker, so let’s hope Samsung has upgraded the optics in some way.

Oukitel WP6 an unbreakable smartphone, battery that lasts for days and so cheap

For just $159.99 the WP6 brings mid-range options, 4GB RAM and 128GB storage, 6.3-inch 1080 display, 48MP camera, and Android 9.0

The golden days of charging the Nokia 3310 only once a week were eclipsed by the advent of massive screens, with advanced technology and features that until yesterday a computer and some extra devices were needed.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

Oukitel has an alternative for the toughest conditions and at a price that competes whatever you throw forward. For just $159.99 the WP6 brings mid-range options, 4GB RAM and 128GB storage, 6.3-inch 1080p, 48MP camera and Android 9.0.

But the points where the smartphone knows no competition are the strengths, as the camera is super protected, ready to endure drops and shocks from the most dramatic. 1.1mm Corning Gorilla Glass, and a “metal aviation” frame. Dust and water protection is IP68 which allows it to resist up to 1.5 meters depth for 30 minutes.

And the final charging solution comes in the form of 10,000 mAh. A massive battery which can also be used to charge other devices. 18W must provide sufficient charging speed.

It’s not the most sophisticated or beautiful smartphone, but clearly someone working in difficult conditions would do quite a favor.
