Gaming / Top 10 Ways To Improve Your PC Gaming Experience In 2018 by finnestdope(m): 1:17pm On Sep 03, 2018
PC gaming is great although a little more complex than Console gaming. There are a lot of tweaks you can perform on your PC to boost your gaming experience but not all of them are safe for your PC; In this article, you will learn the top 10 ways to enhance your PC gaming experience without damaging any part of your computer.

A top-notch gaming laptop requires less or no tweak for the user to experience a superb gaming experience. With these tips outlined in this post here irrespective of your PC configurations, you are sure of an improved gaming experience.

Always sanitize you PC, Keep it Dust-Free
Yeah, First things First! Your PC should always be clean and dust-free if you want an improved gaming experience. Dirt and dust are the biggest hindrances for an improved gameplay performance; this debris reduces airflow to your PC, leading to your computer becoming heated up and resulting to slow performance of your PC components even the GPU.

If you cannot physically clean up your PC, engage the services of a computer engineer.

Upgrade/Update your Graphics Drivers
This is another important factor to consider if you want to boost your PC gaming experience. Your computer’s graphics card is the key factor that determines your gaming experience; installing an advanced graphics card can go a long way to boost your gameplay or you can choose to upgrade the already installed one on your PC; whichever way your PC’s gaming performance will surely have some iota of improvement.

Overclocking might be what your PC needs
This practice is the best for advanced PC operators but a very risky step for amateurs or beginners. Overclocking your PC’s GPU will squeeze out additional performance from it; this exercise requires some tools in order for it to be done properly and the desired result achieved. Both AMD and NVidia GPUs have their own specific overclocking tools, so you won’t be having much trouble with this process. Please engage the services of an advanced computer engineer if you cannot handle this by yourself.

Use PC Optimizers
The use of optimization softwares can also help enhance your PC gameplay experience. PC optimizers go deep into the root folders and directories on your PC to fix bugs and clear the unused registry files which may hinder your computer’s performance rate.

There are lots of optimizers available for both Windows and Mac users in paid and free versions.

Optimize your Graphics settings
Sometimes, your screen resolution also hinders you from enjoying gameplay on your PC. Locate the graphics setting menu on your computer and tweak it a little. Search online for the best screen resolution for your PC type/model if you are unsure about that.

Kick-off HDD, Welcome SSD

Gone are days of HDD, as a PC gamer what you need is a Solid State Drive (SSD). SSDs functions much faster than HDDs and this can possibly boost the gaming performance of your PC. An SSD is likely to improve your game’s frame rate and decrease game loading times.

I’ll suggest you go for an SSD with a capacity not less than 250GB because most recent games occupy up to 20 Gigabytes space. With a 250GB SSD present on your PC, your gaming experience in 2018 will take a new turn.

Deactivate Superfetch and Prefetch
When these two features are disabled on a Windows PC, the performance rate doesn’t remain the same; a change (boost) is usually noticed. These features are built to improve the startup process and time of Windows PC’s but for we gamers “we ain’t needing this”.


To disable these features go to – Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services > scroll down and locate – SuperFetch then double-click to deactivate.

Perform some tweaks on your gaming Control Center
A very good way to boost and enhance the visual display quality of your games is by tweaking the AMD/ATI Control Center; Just right-click the mouse on your desktop, hit the “Radeon settings” option and proceed to“Gaming Settings” where you will be able to set individual display settings for the games you have installed on your PC. Engage the services of a PRO to avoid damaging your some of your PC components.

Opt-in for a faster and long range Wi-Fi Router for Online Gamers
While all these practices listed in this article are applicable to all PC gamers whether Online or Offline, this particular option is strictly for online PC gamers and VR operators. The speed rate and network coverage of your internet service provider determine how you would enjoy online gaming on your PC. opt-in for an advanced wi-fi router with long range support and your gaming experience will never be as the same as it were. There are lots of them on Amazon and other stores both offline and online.

Activate the Game Mode feature in Windows 10
Finally, this will be the last tip on this list but more are yet to come not so long from now, don’t worry. Microsoft’s Windows 10 OS comes with an inbuilt Xbox app which packs other features with it, features such as – on-screen recording, Game mode, and streaming. The Game Mode feature is the main thing here, others can go to bed.

Press and hold down the Windows key together with the G key (Win + G) on your keyboard to unveil the Xbox panel; this has to be when the game has been launched, click on “Settings” and in the “General” tab click the checkbox to activate this feature.

What More:
These are the top 10 ways to enhance your PC gaming experience in 2018, there are probably other methods to achieve this but these ones are safer to carry out.

Autos / 6 Useful Tips For Choosing A Car Finance Broker In 2018 by finnestdope(m): 1:03pm On Sep 03, 2018
If you are planning to purchase your own car but don’t have enough funds for that, the first thing that would strike your mind would be to finance it. However, you shouldn’t be doing that all alone and it is advised that you must talk to a professional and qualified car finance broker. These professionals are good at comparing different products on offer from different lenders and help you find the best one among the lot.

It is true that you may be able to use resources like Calculator All for comparing different car finance products but, nothing can match the experience of a professional car finance broker. They have spent years dealing in the industry and can factor in important contributors that an automated tool may easily overlook.

Brokers can always help you find the right car finance product at right price. Several lenders will be competing to sell their product to you should you take this route. Here are a few Useful Tips for Choosing a Car Finance Broker.



Useful Tips for Choosing a Car Finance Broker
1. Find a broker with years of experience
You can easily judge people who actually know whatever they are talking about. So, you should try and figure out whether they can provide you with the customer experience you are looking for. Also, make enquires if they actually understand the business or not. As far as the finance industry is concerned, little mistakes can cost you a lot.

You’d never want to damage your credit file at the end of the day just because the broker you chose to go with didn’t have enough experience. For instance, providing financial institutions with incorrect information and making any idle inquiries against your credit file will make it hard for you to get the approval. So, you should be careful and must hire someone who knows the business inside out.

2. Go with a broker you can always relate with
It is crucial to be able to get along with your chosen broker. If you are not comfortable with your broker, your business transaction would definitely end sour. Your finance broker should be someone you can trust because they’ll be delving into the financial situation you are in and will know some really personal details about you. If the broker you are considering does not leave a very good impression at first, you should better look someone else.

3. Does he posses a credit license?
It is also important for the broker or credit assistance provider to have a Credit License or be a credit representative. So, if the broker is not any of these then he’s trading illegally and you should definitely avoid hiring them for the job.

4. Is there anything to hide?
Yes, that’s very important. Check to see if the broker is ready to share all important information with you or not. They should provide you with everything in written form be it printed or through an email. But if they are not ready to do that, there’s something fishy going on and you should be careful about that. When you have everything in written form, it’s the proof of your dealing and can come in handy if you have a dispute to deal with at the end of the day. So, if your broker is not agreeing on taking things further that way, you should better look for someone else.

5. Does the broker operate from a physical cocation?
It’s sometimes important to ensure that you’re dealing with someone that exists on the ground. In fact, that’s pretty basic stuff. Fraud happens online and there are quite a few such examples available as well where finance brokers defrauded individuals looking for car loans.

So, it is important that you always ascertain that the broker has a physical location and they are working from an office in your city or another city. You should use Google Maps to check their location and must also check Yellow Pages for checking out if the business is listed there. Give them a call and see if they agree to allow you to visit them in their office to take things further. Such actions can serve as some basic precautionary measures and would prove to be helpful at the end of the day to keep you safe.

6. The number of lenders the broker has access to
If the broker works with only a few lenders then it means you won’t possibly have the best available deal on market. Agents with a bigger lending panel can often provide you with quite a few different car finance options and you can get the best deal on market for sure. In certain cases, it really makes a huge difference.

Finding the best car finance broker out there may be quite overwhelming sometimes but it is not impossible at all. All you need to do is to take some time out of your busy routine and analyze things objectively. You should be aware of exactly what you’re looking for and you are surely going to have the best deal right in front of you to sign.

Look for a good IT institution, enroll and learn a particular aspect of IT. Get yourself a laptop and start practicing what you've learnt.

It won't take time and you'll start employing people to work with you

Phones / How To Change/disguise And Android App Icon Or Name Using Nova Launcher by finnestdope(m): 10:06pm On Aug 14, 2018
Looking for how to change android app icon and name? Android is the most used mobile OS; this is because is an open source OS that let you perform a lot of tweaks on a smartphone running on the system. Today, I’ll be sharing an idea of how you can change or disguise your app icons and names on the app drawer window. I’ll be using the Nova Launcher app for this tutorial although there are other launchers and apps that let you do this too.

Nova Launcher
This is a fully customizable Android smartphone launcher with lots of features you’d love to explore. You can get on Google Playstore for free. Nova launcher provides you with a lot of options to gain full control of your smartphone and customize it to your taste. It is one of my best mobile apps of all time.

Things you can do with Nova Launcher for Android
1. Switch icon themes
2. Customize your subgrid positionings
3. Control your app icons colors
4. Customize your app drawer
5. Infinite scroll
6. Desktop lock – this means no can easily uninstall your apps
7. Change your app icons and names

how to change android app icon and name using Nova Launcher for Android

Install the application from Google Playstore. I do not recommend other apk hosting websites because there are lots of insecure ones out there.

Once the app is installed on your Android device, launch it and set it as your default launcher. Then, follow the guide below;

Step One:
open your app drawer, press and hold the app you wish to change its name.

Note: If you activated “Desktop lock” when setting up this launcher, you’ll be required to long press the padlock that appeared on your screen to allow changes.

Step two:
Press, hold and drag the app to the “edit” option


Step three:
Input the name you wish to use and click on the (√) icon.


Your edit will be saved and that’s all. The app will bear that name as long as it is still present on your device.

How to change your Android app icons with Nova Launcher
Follow the same steps from above, but this time, you’ll have to click on the icon and then choose an image/picture from your device to replace the original app icon.

The last thing i would do my android device is to root it.

I mean, why root my device when i can still get everything i want

Android is an open source OS

I didn't read the thread shaa, i'm a very good lazy reader and seeing that rooting at the first paragraph, i quickly scrolled down to see if i'd be the FTC grin grin

In my honest opinion, ROOTING IS NOT GOOD, if you're trying to install a legit app on your Android device and it's kinda not looking possible, contact me, i'll help you out. DON'T ROOT YOUR DEVICE
