Atom Studios launches Keep: A stylish MagSafe Wallet made from natural materials

Atom Studios, a London-based brand that creates beautiful smartphone accessories using eco-friendly materials, today adds Keep, a premium cork MagSafe wallet, to its product range in the UK and US.

Available in carbon black or natural, Keep is made from cork — a natural, durable alternative to leather and plastic that has the added benefits of being naturally water repellent and antibacterial. The wallet boasts a minimalist design and subtle Atom Studios logo, which emphasises the natural beauty of the cork, and has a card slot which can hold two cards, offering a convenient way to keep credit, debit and ID cards close to hand.

Compatible with all MagSafe equipped iPhones (iPhone 12 and newer) the secure built-in magnets ensure that Keep stays firmly in place on the back of your phone or MagSafe phone case.

Akbar Ali, Creative Director at Atom Studios says: “We carefully consider environmental impact when designing our products, so choosing cork as the material for Keep was crucial. We want to offer iPhone users a beautifully designed, functional MagSafe wallet with environmentally friendly credentials. Many MagSafe wallets on the market are made from leather or plastic which ends up in landfill, so Keep will be an attractive option for conscious shoppers.”

Not only is cork biodegradable, recyclable and reusable it’s also inherently sustainable – oak cork trees grow abundantly and harvesting the cork assists in CO2 absorption. Every year, the trees absorb nearly 14m tonnes of carbon dioxide during their natural regeneration. Harvesting the bark from these trees aids in the regeneration process, and helps them absorb more carbon dioxide and release more oxygen.

Due to its eco credentials and durability, cork is having a renaissance in the product ranges and the design space, as architects and designers embrace the material as a sustainable and aesthetically pleasing choice for interiors, walls and ceilings. It’s for these reasons that Atom Studios has chosen the material for its new MagSafe wallet.

Keep is available in the UK and US from 31st August for £29.99 / $29.99 from Atom Studios (UK and US),  Amazon (UK only), Verishop (US only).

Atom Studios also offers full lifecycle management, encouraging customers to return their products when they’ve finished with them so the business can recycle the materials or dispose of them appropriately.

Can you lead Lionel Messi to a maiden FIFA World Cup Victory on FIFA 23?

The final installment of the EA Sports-made FIFA franchise is less than a month away, and anticipation for the world’s number one football simulation couldn’t be any higher. All of our favourite game modes will be there from the get-go, with the likes of Ultimate Team, Pro Clubs, and Career Mode all returning to our screens on September 27th. But there is one reason why the upcoming release is extra special, and that’s because, for the first time since the days of FIFA 98, the FIFA World Cup game mode will be available upon the game’s release. Oddschecker, which compares odds and provides free offers on the World Cup, has made Brazil the favourites for the showdown in the desert, but it’s the Seleção’s archrivals Argentina that we can’t wait to lead to glory. 

Back in 2014, Lionel Messi came the closest he ever has to lifting the biggest prize in the sport. The Albicelestes defeated the Netherlands and Belgium en route to the Rio de Janeiro showpiece, before Mario Gotze broke South American hearts in the Maracanã, bagging a 116th-minute winner and sealing a fourth FIFA World Cup trophy for Germany.

 Four years ago in Russia, the Argentinians were fancied once again. However, they barely managed to scrape through the group stages. They gave eventual winners France all they could handle in the second round, eventually losing out 4-3 in what was the game of the tournament, but a last-16 exit was less than impressive. 

So, what about Qatar 2022? 

Lionel Messi – the greatest player of his generation and perhaps of all time – is now 35 years of age, and this winter’s World Cup will perhaps be his final appearance on the grandest stage. It would be a crying shame if the little genius bowed out without a solitary crown to his name. This is where you come in. 

It’s your job to get the best out of the great man and his Argentina teammates in Qatar. The likes of Angel di Maria, Paulo Dybala, and Lautaro Martinez should provide ample support to the Paris Saint-Germain superstar, allowing him enough creative outlets to shine. 

Should you accept the challenge, you will be leading out perhaps the most in-form team to pull on that famous blue and white shirt in some time. Last summer, it was di Maria’s goal that downed Brazil, on enemy territory, to secure Copa America glory, Messi’s first international trophy. The team followed that up by decimating European Champions Italy at Wembley in June to win the first Finalissima in 29 years. Can you go one better in Qatar and ensure that Messi brings the curtain down on a stellar international career in style? 

 

The 3 Steps to Successfully Develop a Play-to-Earn Game

Play-to-Earn games are designed to make the player feel rewarded for playing. This is done by rewarding the player with points that can be exchanged for rewards. The 3 steps to successfully develop a Play-to-Earn game are:

  1. Designing the game’s reward system
  2. Creating a compelling and engaging game experience
  3. Connecting the game with other players

What is a Play-to-Earn Game?

A play-to-earn game is a game that has an incentive for players to keep playing in order to earn rewards.

The incentive of these games is usually in the form of a virtual currency or points that can be redeemed for real-world items. These games are designed to help children learn about the world around them and how they can make money.

Play-to-earn games are becoming more popular in the gaming industry as well as education. They help children learn about money, finance, and business without requiring them to have any knowledge on these topics beforehand.

Step One: Creating a Session of Play

In this step, we will be setting up your first session. This is the first step in a three-step process to help you create a successful launch play.

In order to set up your first session, you need to decide on the following:

  • What type of game do you want?
  • How long should it last?
  • Who should participate?
  • What is the goal of the game?

Step Two: Involving Players in the Game’s Development Process

The first step in the play-to-earn game development services process is to involve players in the design process. 

The second step is to involve players in the game’s development process. This can be done through player feedback surveys, test play sessions, and user testing.

Involvement of players is important because they are the ones playing your game after all!

Step Three: Streamlining the Rewards System for an Autonomous Economy

We have to design an autonomous economy that incentivizes people to work autonomously for the benefit of society.

The first step in designing an autonomous economy is to come up with a model that incentivizes people to work autonomously for the benefit of society. This model can include designing incentives and disincentives, such as penalties and rewards.

Incentives can be as simple as giving people a chance to win money or other prizes when they complete certain tasks, while disincentives are things like giving people who don’t participate in the task negative consequences, like losing their job.

How to Create Your Own Play-to-Earn Game for Increased Engagement & Revenue

Play-to-Earn games are the best way to increase engagement and revenue. They are a fun way for users to learn about your product or service and earn rewards in return.

In this game, players can trade their personal data with the company in return for rewards. This increases engagement and revenue as players want to continue playing the game in order to collect more rewards.

There are many different ways that you can use Play-to-Earn games in your business, such as:

  • using it as an incentive program for customers who have not purchased from you yet
  • using it as a loyalty program for loyal customers
  • rewarding employees with points that they can redeem for discounts or other benefits

Dell Technologies Delivers Industry-First Innovations with VMware to Power Multicloud and Edge Solutions

Dell Technologies (NYSE: DELL) is introducing new infrastructure solutions, co-engineered with VMware, that deliver greater automation and performance for organizations embracing multicloud and edge strategies.

“Customers tell us they want help simplifying their multicloud and edge strategies as they look to drive more efficiency and performance from their IT,” said Jeff Boudreau, president, Dell Technologies Infrastructure Solutions Group.  “Dell Technologies and VMware have numerous joint engineering initiatives spanning core IT areas such as multicloud, edge and security to help our customers more easily manage and gain value from their data.”

Business data and applications continue to grow in multicloud environments comprised of edge locations, public clouds and on-premises IT. Many organizations have already adopted a multicloud approach, and the number of applications running at the edge will grow 800% by 2024. 

“IDC’s global research shows many organizations are struggling to balance the rapidly rising complexity and cost of data center, edge and cloud operations with relentless business demand for better data integration, security and application performance,” notes Mary Johnston Turner, IDC research vice president, future of digital infrastructure agenda. “These organizations recognize the need for a consistent operating model tightly integrated with infrastructure platforms that support sophisticated, large scale data-driven workloads.”

Dell VxRail delivers greater performance and smallest-ever systems at the edge

Dell is introducing several new VxRail systems and software advancements that improve performance on-premises and at the edge including the industry’s only jointly engineered HCI-based DPU solution with VMware.

 

  • Improved system performance: A result of co-engineering with VMware and its Project Monterey initiative, VxRail systems support new VMware vSphere 8 software that has been rearchitected to run on DPUs. Customers can improve application and networking infrastructure performance and improve TCO by moving these services from a system’s CPU to its new on-board DPU.

 

  • Support demanding workloads: Select VxRail systems now support VMware’s new vSAN Enterprise Storage Architecture (ESA). With up to 4x vSAN performance improvement, customers can better support demanding mission-critical applications.

  • Smallest edge systems: VxRail rugged modular nodes deliver high performance and scalability in the system’s smallest form factor to date. Modular nodes are ideal for edge use cases including healthcare, energy and utilities and digital cities because of VxRail’s industry-first, on-board hardware witness, which allows for deployment in high latency, low bandwidth locations.

“The increasing demand for software-defined infrastructure services for networking, storage and security places more demands on already-strained CPUs. As more distributed, resource intensive applications are onboarded, there is a need to reimagine data center architecture to fully support the requirements of these applications,” said Krish Prasad, senior vice president & general manager, Cloud Infrastructure Business Group, VMware. “Dell VxRail with VMware vSphere 8 will deliver a foundation for next generation data center architecture by running infrastructure services on the DPU. This will enable greater network and application performance and a new level of sophistication in adopting Zero Trust security strategies to protect modern enterprise workloads.”

Dell APEX expands multicloud and edge support for VMware environments

Dell is adding several offers to its APEX portfolio for VMware workloads that speed development of cloud-native apps and better allocate compute and storage resources for applications at the edge.

APEX Cloud Services with VMware Cloud adds managed VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid services, which allows IT teams to help developers move faster by using a container-based approach to application development. With Dell-managed Tanzu services, customers can provision Kubernetes clusters through the vSphere user interface. Organizations also will be able to speed development efforts by building, testing and running cloud-native applications alongside traditional applications on the same platform.

APEX Private Cloud and APEX Hybrid Cloud offer new compute-only options that allow customers to support more workloads and increase IT infrastructure efficiency by independently scaling compute and storage resources. Organizations can start small and scale their infrastructure as their IT needs change. Customers can use Dell’s industry-leading enterprise storage data services by connecting compute-only instances to Dell storage such as APEX Data Storage Services.

“APEX Hybrid Cloud lets us manage our multicloud environment seamlessly and gain better insights into our VMware workloads. It’s allowed us to reduce the cost of supporting applications and workloads by 20%,” said Ben Doyle, chief information officer, ATN International. “We stood up the Dell APEX solution quickly, and we easily moved 70% of our infrastructure to it in under three months. We look forward to working with Dell Technologies to expand our cloud footprint moving forward.”

Strauss & Wagner EM205 Wired Earbuds with 3.5mm Connection and Mic+Remote

The Strauss & Wagner  EM205 Wired Earbuds with a 3.5mm connection are designed for use with portable devices and HiFi systems, ( Albeit will connect to laptops with a suitable 3.5mm connection) The 3.5mm connection is the only feature difference from the Strauss & Wagner EM8C USB-C earbuds previously reviewed at TechBuzz in which we went into more details on the specifications on the EM8C USB-C review

Features:

Standard 3.5mm plug for use with desktop and mobile devices

Three-button remote with volume and playback adjustment, as well as a microphone for calls and voice commands

The integrated microphone allows for clearer audio quality thanks to a sensitivity of -43 dB

Includes: three sizes of silicone ear tips for personalized comfort plus a carry pouch

 

  •       Frequency Response   20Hz-20kHz
  •       Impedance      32Ω
  •       Sensitivity        108dB
  •       Microphone    -43dB
  •       Driver 9mm
  •       Cable Length  43″
  •       Warranty         1 year

Setup and use:

The setup for mobile devices being connected with a cable required no software updates ensuring e.g., Bluetooth turned on or the need to download a specific app for the earphones. When connected to a standard windows laptop, windows drivers picked up the device and audio worked,

Note: when connected to the laptop the audio worked as expected, with excellent quality while the Volume Up / Down etc did not work, (this may have been down to the divers on the laptop requiring updating) while this product is expected to connect, without any intervention.  When connected to a mobile device the volume etc worked as expected.

Controls:

 

 

Overall.

The Strauss & Wagner EM205 Wired Earbuds differ from the EM8C as comes with a 3.5 mm connection vs the USB C on the EM8C. Both have excellent call quality while do not filter out background noises to the level of more specialised earphones when on calls. The EM8C appears geared towards laptop use with the functionally working seamlessly when used on e.g., MS teams calls vs the EM205 which did not adjust the audio by default.  The wired earphones do not come with all the bells and whistles of ANC, hear through, apps tailored to specific-tailed music rather an uncomplicated approach of plug-in, listen to your audio and it works. Should the earphones be used for a work laptop, typically company security policy blocks many ports or Bluetooth devices, the use of the 3.5 mm plug can bypass this without the risks.

The wired approach removes the complications of battery life, software updates, latency, compatibility etc of Bluetooth earphones. The earphones are designed to last with the option to reasonably purchase replacement ear tips should the need be required.

As with the EM8C review, an impressive audio experience from wired earbuds that are fractionally cheaper than the EM8C but provide the same uncomplicated audio quality without breaking the bank.

The Benefits Of Refining Your Company’s Processes When Looking To Expand

Growth is an achievement that every company desires. As your company grows, expansion becomes a reality that you must plan. And one of the vital things to consider during expansion is how to refine your company’s processes. All expansions come with changes to current processes to increase output capacity. Business expansion is crucial; you can improve your business and its standards if you do it right. Here are seven key benefits your company enjoys when you refine its processes.

Hindsight

Every strategy to refine your company’s processes begins with evaluating existing processes. You and your team must look closely at current practices to identify areas where improvement is needed. Of course, that means you get inside your company’s performance and the effectiveness of its processes. Hindsight is essential not just because it helps you make informed business decisions; it is far more critical because it gives you a sense of accomplishment considering your company’s growth. Hindsight will give you a deeper understanding of your company’s history so that you can confidently chart its future as you expand.

Employee Motivation 

There is a chance that your employees become sensitive to the monotony of their daily jobs. If that happens, employee motivation is reduced to the point where the function by rote. If your employees are at that stage already, your employees may need some inspiration. Refining your company’s processes for expansion provides all the motivation your employees need. Of course, there will be changes in hardware and human resources; that change may spark a new inspiration in your employees. But you need to be careful here; sometimes refining your work processes means changing employees from one position to another, and that’s where the advantage lies.

Improved Productivity

If you use software such as Sci-Net’s Microsoft business central, expanding your company provides you with the chance to improve productivity. How? The expansion offers an opportunity to carry out setting changes while setting up new offices or processes. Microsoft business central allows you to automate processes, manage data and exert complete control over your business processes. If you have not, it is a great idea to switch to Dynamics 365 business central to refine your company’s processes. You’ll likely increase employee productivity, reduce expenses, and get a better business outcome. Try out the Microsoft dynamics business central for your company.

Business Agility And Fluidity 

Refining your company’s processes helps your business to remain agile and fluid in the modern business world. Today modern technologies reduce the gap between companies but simultaneously open a chasm that businesses must cross to stay relevant. As you refine your company’s processes, you will enable integration with modern technologies such as cloud computing, ensuring that your company remains relevant while staying true to its goals. Business agility and fluidity are arguably two of the best attributes modern businesses need today. Modern technologies quickly become obsolete and only companies that can keep up with the latest versions retain their competitive edge.

Improved Time Management

Do you think your company is at its best speed? Wait until you refine specific processes and reduce the complicated tasks that your employees undertake. You can quickly increase your company’s speed by refining complex processes to free up time your employees can spend on other activities with more impact. Refining and standardising business processes as you expand ensure that your company retains its standards across all branches without issues. Refining complex processes save time; you get to keep those costs incurred from poor time management. Refining your company’s processes is one of the best decisions as you expand. As you implement strategies, ensure to maintain your standards.

Innovation

Sometimes, you are reluctant to try innovative solutions so that you don’t disrupt existing workflows. That’s understandable. The expansion allows you to innovate your business. That’s why refining your processes before and during expansion creates the best opportunity to establish new processes without upsetting existing ones. Although expansion gears towards the company’s goals, new objectives give employees a unique perspective to work on. You can innovate as you expand, creating a balance between new and existing processes. Innovation brings endless benefits, but the one that stands out the most is that your company can hit existing goals faster while retaining its identity.

Measurability And Consistency

All businesses need a model for measurability to ensure that standards remain constant or improved. That’s another benefit that process refinement brings to your company. Measurability helps you identify the areas where change is needed to meet your company’s goals and objectives. Measurability involves assessing your goals, identifying problems and possible solutions, and devising strategies to implement solutions. Refining your processes helps move your company from ‘here to there.’ In that way, your company can maintain a consistent standard without compromising core values. Consistency is your biggest asset in navigating the competition in your business niche.
