Lease Trader

Are you stuck with a lease vehicle and wished there was an easier way to get out of your lease without the headaches. Here is a site that can work both ways for you.

If you are a buyer and need a car but do not want to leave the down payment, then this site is a simple way to take over someone else lease agreement and ride the car to the end of the contract. 

Another option is that if you are currently a lease holder and for whatever reason do not want to be locked in your lease then with a good incentive offer you can get out of your lease. 

I wished I knew about this company a long time ago, it would have made my dreams come true.

If you have an Asus motherboard and trying to get into the computer but having problems with the bios password. Here is a fix, but note that putting a password on the bios does not offer much protection and if the system gets corrupted, your options are very limited.

Signal vs Telegram

 If you want secure conversations then these two messaging services are worth looking into, now the only problem is which one is better. 

Let's just say both are similar but Telegram is for profit and Signal is not and it's only a matter of time before both companies become expensive.

So take advantage of the opportunity and test both of them out and enjoy them while they are ad free.
