Even when sending money to a counterparty you trust, it's always wise to verify the IBAN first. Mistakes happen, and they might accidentally give you a wrong or outdated account number. Recovering the funds later can be a real headache. You can use this free IBAN checker: https://nimlab.eu/iban-checker/ . With just one click, it will show you all the details you need.

I'm planning a road trip from New York to Boston, and I've run into a couple of practical questions. I've honestly never driven anywhere outside the city on my own before. My car is a small compact sedan that's great for squeezing into tight parking spots, but it's definitely not meant for long-distance travel. So now I'm wondering where I can rent a more suitable car for this trip, and what are the best places to stop along the way if I want to check out something interesting?

Nowadays, there are various tools that let you download everything from a page with just a click or two. The most convenient ones are browser extensions you can install directly. I'm not sure which browser you use, but there's definitely one for Chrome. It's probably available for others too. In Chrome, you can try this image downloader: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/image-downloader/hohnpmioogigogdedhigjpjjjonkojbk . It lets you save all the images from a page in the format you need.

Looks like access to 1xBet has been blocked here in Canada. I know a bunch of betting sites have been getting blocked, but it hadn't hit me until today. Now I can't get into my account through the official website anymore. I've heard people are using alternative access links or mirrors to log in. Where can I find those links?

It all depends on your ISP. Some execute blocking orders quickly, others drag their feet. But yours finally got the message to cut off access to the bookmaker site. A mirror is the easiest way around the block. You access the same bookie site but through a slightly modified URL. You can search for alternative betting sites for your bookie here https://betclone.com/ . Just know they get blocked periodically too. So you'll need to keep hunting for new mirrors regularly.

Whenever I buy a new game on Steam, I always feel a bit guilty spending money on a game that I'll finish in a couple of weeks and then never play again. At the same time, I still want to play. Is there any way to find games for less than in the official Steam store?
