Tower Top Tyre Inflator review: simple to use and quick to get you back on road
Some service stations have really poor quality air machines for tyre inflation. Error messages are common as are incidents when the five minutes you paid for run out before you have pumped up all four tyres. My days of using these machines every few weeks or before long journeys are gone for good thanks to the TowerTop Air Compressor Tyre Inflator, a compact and portable device that delivers precision and speed. I've been testing it out for a few weeks now and here are my thoughts.. The lightweight but robustly made device connects to your 12V auxiliary power outlet and comes with a lengthy inflation cable - made from braided steel - that reaches all four tyres with ease. It has a built-in torch for use in the dark and comes with a handy carrying case and valves for use with bicycles, toys and beach balls. The connection to your tyre is securely fitted, unlike the cables and connections you encounter on most service station air machines. Plug the TowerTop Tyre Inflator in and you'll instantly hear an internal fan running but it's not too loud during operation. The machine has a quick release valve connector that speeds things up and fits to your tyres securely. Once you are connected, setting the tyre pressure is a simple process. You just adjust the dial to the desired PSI for your car and press the power button. The speed is impressive. You can inflate a flat tyre to 35PSI in less than three minutes. The TowerTop slightly over-inflates the tyre to allow for the pressure you will lose when disconnecting. This is a clever feature as is the automatic cut-off once you reach your chosen PSI target. I was hugely impressed by the reliability, consistency and speed of TowerTop Tyre Inflator. I pumped up all four tyres without any hitches in far less time than the five minutes you get at a service station. TowerTop Tyre Inflator costs €49.99 at Amazon.

‘Critical' warning for millions of Brits over list of doomed Fire Stick alternatives that leave you with broken TV
A "CRITICAL" warning has been given to millions of Brits over a list of doomed Fire Stick alternatives that can leave you with a broken TV.

Credit: Getty Many legacy Roku devices have reached the end of their lifecycle and users need to face a critical decision about upgrading. Because Roku and its channel partners, including Netflix, have ceased providing software updates and support for these models . This means that a growing number of apps are either malfunctioning or completely incompatible. This leaves users with outdated devices unable to access the full streaming experience they once enjoyed. Advertisement Tech News With streaming technology evolving rapidly, these older players lack the processing power and software capabilities to keep up with modern app requirements. Roku has therefore recommended upgrading to newer models for a seamless experience reports The decision to end support for older devices stems from the increasing complexity of streaming apps. Which requires more robust hardware to deliver high-definition video, enhanced user interfaces, and new features like 4K resolution and HDR. Advertisement Most read in Tech Without updates, the devices are stuck on old versions of the Roku OS, causing apps like Netflix, Disney+, and YouTube to buffer endlessly, display errors, or fail to load entirely. For instance, Netflix, ESPN+ and more will fail to load, citing compatibility issues with its updated app. Owners of dodgy Fire Sticks for illegal streaming warned of unexpected danger that's already affected 2.7million people Other services have followed suit, and the list of unsupported apps continues to grow, leaving these devices increasingly obsolete.

This includes Family Mode, Moments, and Knock Knock. AMAZON, AMAZ-OFF It comes after news that Amazon is to shut down an app that's been used by millions of people. There are major downsides for affected users – and you might even be owed a big refund. Most read in Tech Millions of people using the Amazon Appstore will be cut off in mid-August. The closure affects anyone using the app on Android phones. Over 200 million people use the Amazon Appstore, around 1% of which come via Android gadgets. Google reveals 'Advanced Protection' for VIPs – and you can use it too An Amazon spokesperson told The Sun: "We've decided to discontinue the Amazon Appstore on Android to focus our efforts on the Appstore experience on our own devices, as that's where the overwhelming majority of our customers currently engage with it." Amazon's Appstore is a rival to the default Google Play Store, letting you download apps and games. It launched on Android all the way back in March 2011. But on August 20, the Amazon Appstore will close – and any apps downloaded from it will no longer receive updates. That means support will end for all apps you've downloaded via the Amazon Appstore. They may become buggy or stop work entirely, and won't be able to receive any In an FAQ, Amazon warned that these apps "will not be guaranteed to operate on Android devices". Amazon has already begun killing the Appstore off by blocking developers from uploading new apps to it. That change kicked in on February 20 this year.
