Review – The Cypress 15.6” Convertible Backpack with EcoSmart. #Tech #Travel #Targus

At CES 2020 Targus announced a new line up of bags for the tech enthusiast or for those who travel and these are bags you should check out if you need something robust and that looks good. This time however they are Sustainable bags made with recycled bottles which is good for the environment and a move many companies are now adopting to help with climate change and so on and of course it is a good move and nobody can complain about that.

Do you suffer with quality though?? Not at all the bags are still as tough as before and look good and have a nice feel to them two as my last bag still goes strong I expect this one to be no different here. This bags is part of the Cypress collection and is a convertible which makes the bag more useful in my eyes compared to the backpack we recently done and yet still looking good. You can wear this on your back,carry it like a briefcase or sling it on your shoulder which is great.

Built to fit 15.6” laptops, this eco-friendly bag’s unique design lets you carry it as either a backpack or briefcase, with shoulder straps that can tuck away when not in use. Other features include a dedicated padded compartment to cradle your laptop, two main compartments with pockets to organise your files and everyday essentials, ergonomic shoulder straps to make your commute more comfortable, and a trolley strap to attach the convertible backpack to rolling luggage.

The bag is designed for all type of people be it one who travels to the office,work,events and more with straps that can be put away and a passthrough on the rear, inside we have padded protection and several pockets to store cables,phones,tablets chargers and more so all in all it serves many people regardless and is one to look at, The price here too is fair running you around €70 at the time of writing this, You might see alternatives out there half the price but you get less quality and function and I find with the likes of those the straps break too quick,the zippers break and in general a cheap built,this is not the case here with bags from Targus.

FEATURES
  • Made from 24 recycled plastic water bottles
  • Converts from backpack to briefcase
  • Shoulder straps can be tucked away when not in use
  • Top and side comfort carry handles
  • Dedicated padded laptop compartment
  • Two main compartments for files and gear, with pockets for smaller accessories

Shadow Arena Enters Steam Early Access on May 21. #Gaming #Steam #ShadowArena

Today Pearl Abyss announced that Shadow Arena, their upcoming 40 player hero action battle royale game, will be globally available for free through Steam early access on May 21.

Shadow Arena pits 40 players against each other in a ruthless fight to be the last person standing on the battlefield. Players can choose from nine playable characters, each with their own unique fighting style. To climb to the top of the pack, players must slay monsters and collect loot to upgrade their gear and gain buffs. However, impeccable skill execution and well-timed evasive tactics are critical in securing victory.

Shadow Arena was originally a mode within Black Desert, but was eventually developed into its own stand-alone game. While Shadow Arena does take inspiration from Black Desert, it has created its own unique style that draws from the MOBA, battle royale, and MMO genres to create a unique game. Shadow Arena has three gameplay modes: solo, duo, and AI. While players can show off their skills in solo mode, complex and strategic gameplay is required to emerge victorious in team mode. Duo mode allows players to enjoy distinctive co-op experiences that create a new style of PvP action. Players can hone their skill with AI bot in the AI mode.

Current language support for the Shadow Arena closed beta includes English, German, Spanish, French, Russian, Polish, Turkish, Portuguese, Korean, Japanese, Thai, Indonesian, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.

AWS Ground Station is now available in Ireland and EU. #AWS #Amazon #Data

AWS Ground Station is a fully managed service that provides you global access to your space workloads. AWS Ground Station enables you to downlink data and provide satellite commands across multiple regions quickly, easily, and cost-effectively without having to worry about building or managing their own ground station infrastructure. AWS Ground Station is available today in six AWS Regions around the world. To see a list of supported regions, please visit the Global Infrastructure Region Table webpage.

The recency of data is particularly critical when it comes to tracking and acting upon fast-moving conditions on Earth. This timeliness depends on frequent communications between ground stations and satellites, which can only be achieved with a large, global footprint of antennas maintaining frequent contact with orbiting satellites. The AWS Ground Station deployment in Ireland provides a second region in Europe to communicate with your satellite. Stockholm is the other AWS Region in the EU that offers AWS Ground Station.  

Customers can easily integrate their space workloads with other AWS services in real-time using Amazon’s low-latency, high-bandwidth global network. Customers can stream their satellite data to Amazon EC2 for real-time processing, store data in Amazon S3 for low cost archiving, flow data through Amazon Rekognition for imaging analysis, or apply AI/ML algorithms to satellite images with Amazon SageMaker.
