Call of Duty Mobile, one of the most popular games currently, has taken many of its features from the PC and console versions of Call of Duty—one of them being the Gunsmith feature. This COD Mobile feature allows players to make a custom loadout for personalized guns. It further means that players can tailor any gun to their liking and playing style.

Some of the players are quite skillful at customizing guns. On the other hand, many players struggle to find a near-perfect personalized gun. Well, this guide will help you find that near-perfect gun for every occasion. To emphasize, if you’re a player who likes to engage enemies on a short-range or if you love to get in a fight via long-range, we have something for every type. So read on, and find a custom-built gun that suits your gameplay.

Customized SMGs for short and long-range fights

In this COD Mobile custom loadout guide, we’ve taken a few select SMGs that can be modified into various forms according to the need and playstyle. So without further ado, let’s get into it.

1. RUS-79U custom loadout

The search giant is working on the Google Assistant Memory update for its virtual assistant, enhancing its skill set even more. The update can help the Assistant remember things you want it to.

Let’s explore how the new Memory update for Google Assistant works and takes work off of your shoulders.

What is the Google Assistant Memory feature?

The upcoming feature was spotted by 9to5Google in an APK teardown. As the name says, it allows Google Assistant to remember things. Right now, the Assistant can remember some stuff, the Memory feature would take it a couple of notches higher.

For example, right now, you can say, “Hey Google, remember that my home keys are in the side drawer.”

And then you can ask, “Hey Google, where are my home keys.”

What can Google Assistant remember?

After the Memory update, Google Assistant can save everything from a screenshot, everyday objects, posters, handwritten notes, thoughts, music, ideas, contacts, flights, movies, etc.

There will be a dedicated Memory section in the Google app, where all the saved memories will be shown in reverse chronological order. Users will be able to filter out memories by Important and Read Later categories and look for specific memories using the search bar present at the top.

However, it doesn’t stop there. For the content you add to its memory, the assistant can throw helpful suggestions as well. For example, it can suggest that you should check flight status after you save information for an upcoming flight. Or if you ask it to save a screenshot of a webpage, it might save the URL as well.

One change that Google will introduce is that Reminders will also get saved to the Assistant’s Memory when the feature arrives.

When will the Memory update arrive?

Currently, there is no word on the release date of the feature. But it’s sure going to arrive in the coming future as Google is reportedly testing it internally (dogfooding) with its employees.

However, we are yet to see what will happen to the Collections feature in the Google app. Will the search giant scrape it or merge it with Memory.

ADB or Android Debug Bridge is a term that you would have come across quite often. Every time you connect your device to your computer via cable or if you browse around the ‘Developer Options,’ you will come across the term Android Debug Bridge or ADB for short.

But what does it mean? And what is its purpose? It is a versatile tool that helps your Android device function as it is, so let us tell you more about ADB.

For starters, Google details the following explanation, telling what’s the importance of ADB in the simplest manner possible.

If you still didn’t get the gist of it, allow us to break it down even further. ABD is two different applications: one is running on your computer, which could be running Windows 10, Linux or even macOS, while the other application is running on your phone.

When your phone connects to the machine that is running any desktop operating system, and if USB debugging is enabled, you can issue commands and communicate with the phone using the command line utility. Google has made it part of its Android software development kit for Windows, Mac, and Linux, so incompatibility is going to be the least of your problems.

The Android OS itself is based on Linux and therefore, it uses the Linux kernel and tools as a base. What this means is that there are quite a few Linux commands that can be sent through the ADB server (this server is the application that is running on your computer) to the ADB client (this is the one that is running on your phone).

Using the server-client relationship, this tag team can become a beneficial tool as you will be able to debug things when nothing or very little is going right for you. Also, you can execute unexplored commands when you’re on your hacking spree, so as far as exploration goes, there are several options present at your fingertips.

The majority of the time, you will require the ADB feature when you’re attempting to debug something actively or if you are tenaciously trying to hack your smartphone. Regardless, if you do get a chance, try to use the ADB feature as much as possible and have fun with your device. You never know what you’re missing out on.

The Battery Management System (BMS) is a system that manages and protects the battery for its well-being in any electronic device. It monitors multiple factors like the voltage, current, state of charge, temperature, and more.

However, there are three main functions of a Battery Management System.

• Protection of Battery Packs: It protects the battery from getting damaged by being overcharged (when the voltage gets too high) or discharge (the voltage gets too low). BMS constantly monitors all the cells in the battery pack by calculating whether a safe amount of current is going in (charge) the cell and coming out of it (discharge).

It maintains the safe limit for both charging and discharging of the cells, thus, preventing them from getting damaged.

• Calculation Of State Of Charge (SoC) : This simply tells us how much energy or charge is left in the battery. It does it by monitoring cell voltages and calculating the amount of energy drained.

• Safety of Battery : BMS also looks after the safety of batteries by checking and informing if there is any loose connection, any issue with wire insulation, damaged cell, short circuit, or any other fault.

In addition to the aforementioned functions, BMS does a lot more for maintaining batteries in electric cars.

• Maintaining Temperature: BMS plays a vital role in maintaining the temperature of the battery pack. It monitors the proper functioning of the fan or thermal fluid in case it’s liquid-cooled. This way it regulates the battery temperature and keeps it in an optimized range.
• Cell Balancing: Sometimes cells in a battery pack get charged more than others. In this case, BMS intelligently releases excess energy from the overcharged cells to balance the cells.
• Display Real-Time Values : Most importantly, with the help of BMS, you get real-time values like miles your car can cover, battery percentage, the time required for a full charge, temperature, etc. right on your screen.

For the proper functioning of BMS, calibration is required. Let’s have a brief overview of it.

What Is BMS Calibration?

If you are an electric vehicle user, then sometimes you may notice that the display containing battery information isn’t showing the correct values.

For example, it may not show the correct percentage or the distance it can cover. This happens when the BMS fails to recalibrate itself successfully. Therefore, to rectify this, the BMS needs to calibrate itself.

There are different ways of calibrating BMS and you will need support from the automaker to do this. However, here are some of the most common practices:

• Leave your car overnight by completely turning off the power, allowing it to deep sleep.
• Slowly charging your vehicle up to 100%.
• Avoid charging your vehicle frequently or every night.

If this doesn’t work or improve the calibration process, then contact your company.

Anyway, this was a brief overview of the Battery Management System in electric cars. We hope this will be helpful for you.
