Empowering a people-first culture in your workplace

The ways in which businesses in Ireland create and maintain their culture are changing. Previously, a business’s culture may have centred around its office, but in today’s do-anything, from-anywhere economy, this approach is no longer fit for purpose.

Recent figures from NUIG show that a considerable size of the workforce in Ireland still prefer remote or hybrid working model going forward. This has been further reinforced by the introduction of new measures aimed at giving employees the right to request remote work in the upcoming ‘Work Life Balance’. Ciara Dempsey, Regional Sales Senior Manager, Dell Technologies Ireland tells us more. 

It is evident then, that, today, a culture is less about location, rather it is a refocus on a set of shared values and standards that put people and performance front and centre. Business success depends on it.

This value-based, people-first approach should inform all areas of the business – from empathetic leaders who empower and lead by example, to designing responsive and trusted technologies that put the employee experience first.

This is reflected in Dell Technologies’ recent ‘Breakthrough’ research, which shows that nearly three-quarters of employees in Ireland expect their employer to provide the necessary tools and infrastructure to work flexibly, in a way that suits everyone. So how do you create a consistent, frictionless and secure experience, no matter where your employees are working from? And as importantly, how does it build, maintain and evolve your business values and culture?

Building an empathetic culture underpinned by intelligence

The answer lies in building an intelligent and caring workplace that enables employees to work smarter and thrive professionally and personally. Business leaders across Ireland need to be aware of the psychological shift that has taken place for employees as they move between working from home and in the office in a way that best suits their individual needs. Of course, technology has a pivotal role to play by enabling an intelligent work environment that delivers greater consistency and personalisation, regardless of location. At Dell, we have been working on solutions to bring this to life, including Concept Pari – a better hybrid meeting experience that focuses on creating more intuitive human interactions – and Concept Stanza – which helps increase efficiencies for simple things like notetaking.

Taking an individual approach can also build a more equal and diverse workforce. It helps existing talent to work in a location and environment that best suits them. And it is also an opportunity for businesses to recruit new, diverse talent, and create a culture that brings new perspectives and skillsets – thanks to the flexibility of not having to focus the search for talent on rigid criteria such as a specific, permanent location.

A culture driven by digital transformation

For many businesses, this shift to a people-first culture is tied to transformation projects they have undertaken over the past few years, when it was imperative to adapt to survive. This period of transformation has highlighted the critical role of engaged employees in driving successful change. The Breakthrough research shows that 74% of business leaders see their people as their most important asset. But eight in ten of employees in Ireland feel that their role in delivering on transformation projects is underestimated by their companies.

This gap needs to be closed, because a positive business culture relies on people feeling part of a community that is heard and valued. If you get this right, it creates an environment that not only improves productivity, but also fosters creativity and helps attract and retain talent.

We know that creating a successful remote working environment takes more than just the right technology. Again, it is about investing in people. For example, our Connected Workplace initiative gives our employees the power to choose the work style that best fits the needs of their job and their lifestyle.

The office still has an important role in building a company culture in Ireland; there will always be moments for which in-person collaboration is the best option. You cannot replace the value we all get from human-to-human contact, but future cultures are going to be built in a hybrid world in which technology and innovation are going to play vital roles.

What has always been true remains: a successful culture is built on a collective set of values and behaviours. The difference in today’s world is that technology gives everyone an equal opportunity to show up and reach their full potential – a win, win for individuals and their employers. The challenge for business leaders is to ensure that technology facilitates culture but doesn’t drive it – that is still down to people.

Tech Review – Allway Open-Ear True Wireless Earphones OE10

Earbuds come in all shapes and sizes and this is a new fresh design this time around from a company called Allway. Allway is an innovative tech brand principally engaged in the R&D, manufacture, and distribution of Bluetooth headphones, speakers, and other creative devices.

We have been testing their latest product to the market the OE10 over the last while and from their presentation to their looks do they pass the tests we conduct here which is hours of music, movies videos and more…

Unlike the TWS headphones with a semi-in-ear design which may generate pressure inside the ears, in particular for long-time wearing. OE10, the true-wireless, open-ear earphones don’t go in your ears at all, they are more like a personal stereo that sits on your ears. Different from the bone-conduction headphones which people have suggested these were to me and I quickly pointed out they are not rely on the sound being transmitted through vibrations on the bones of the head and jaw,  the Allway OE10 uses Open Audio directional sound transmission technology to deliver sound waves through the air for a more natural listening experience, reducing the issue of sound spillage and amplification. Relying on 30 years of experience in audio devices manufacturing, we use our self-developed bass enhancement technology to deliver rich, full-range sound that far exceeds the standard of similar products in the market. 

Allway Open-Ear true wireless – techbuzzireland

Precision ports direct sound from two 16.2 mm drivers with a frequency range of up to 20KHz,  and are equipped with a high-quality composite diaphragm and optimised adjustment by Allway Acoustics Laboratory, the low frequency is full of volume, and the mid and high frequency is clear and delicate. Dual-mic ENC noise reduction captures the sound and eliminates background noise, providing clear, and excellent conversation quality.

With the touch sensor control panel on both sides, you can perform operations with taps and swipes, without taking out your mobile phone from your pocket.  Adjust the volume or answer a call plus a variety of functions with just a tap.  Bluetooth connection between two devices, audio can be switched between devices in real-time. Leverage the latest Bluetooth 5.3, and support AAC HD decoding, users can customise operation with the Free Allway App ( available for both iOS and Android devices) which we will show you in the video review below and also see the screenshots provided here. 

The Allway OE10 is rated IPX4. Whether it’s sweat after a workout or sudden rain, the full angle splash protection ensures OE10 has a longer service life. OE10 charges can be charged with a Type-C cable in 1.5 hours, earphones play time is up to 6 hours under moderate settings; the charging case offers an extra 4 full charges, which makes the total play time up to 24 hours, making them easy to cope with long training sessions or sports.

Drone Safely this Christmas cautions the Irish Aviation Authority

The Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) today launched their ‘Drone Safely This Christmas’ Campaign. If you’re thinking of getting a drone this Christmas, you need to make sure you register as an Operator with the aviation regulator and that you know the rules before you fly. This advice comes ahead of the busiest shopping days in the lead up to Christmas.

Jim Gavin, Director People & Operations from the Irish Aviation Authority, Aviation Regulator commenting on drone safety said:  “Drone use has increased significantly in recent years. Piloting a drone is fun but it comes with responsibilities and no matter what their use or purpose, drones can raise challenges from both safety and privacy perspectives. Operating a drone in public requires training, as they can have serious consequences if they are flown inappropriately, or collide with a person, an animal or an aircraft. So, if you do get a drone this Christmas, find out if you need to register as an operator with the Aviation Regulator and get trained.”

The Irish Aviation Authority became one of the first aviation regulators in the world to introduce regulations and mandatory drone registration in December 2015. Consumers who buy drones that are over 250g, or a drone fitted with a camera, are legally required to register as a drone operator. If you are a drone operator safety is your responsibility. You need to ensure you are always in control of the drone and that you remain compliant with the law.

Enda Walsh, UAS Manager/Drones Champion from the Irish Aviation Authority added. “The vast majority of drone users fly safely and are compliant with the regulations. However, we are concerned that there are many drone owners who are not registered, who may be flying unsafely and putting people and other aircraft at risk. If you see anyone you believe to be flying dangerously or using a drone irresponsibly, we encourage you to contact the IAA. Reckless use of a drone or inappropriate use of its camera may result in prosecution,”

One important exemption to registration is for toy drones. A toy drone is one where it states clearly on the box or in its documentation that it complies with the regulation on toy safety, and it is intended “for use in play by children under 14 years of age. These types of drones are usually small and only suitable for indoor flying.

9 must-try tips to improve your TikTok videos to maybe make it into the top 10 videos next year

Making TikTok videos stand out is key to thousands if not millions of likes or followers. Armed with a smartphone or camera Tiktokers are getting more creative and using technology, like gimbals, to push the limits of creative video making.

The team at ZHIYUN, who manufacture smartphone and camera gimbals, took a closer look at the 100 highest-ranking TikTok videos which used the #gimbal to identify some must-know tips for the creation of eye-catching videos. A gimbal is a gadget that removes camera shake, and gives access to cool templates and filming modes to take Tiktok videos to the next level.

Here are 9 top tips for making those go-viral videos.

1. Light it up

Set the tone, mood and atmosphere with lighting

Lighting is an essential aspect of producing a successful video. TikToker Christian Shay mentioned that lighting is very important, so choose what works best for you. Use proper light control and manipulation for texture, the vibrancy of colour, and luminosity of your subjects.

A handy tool to help you out with your lighting is the ZHIYUN FIVERAY F100 light stick, a portable photography tool with six different lighting effects including fire, faulty bulb, and candle, allowing you to create ambiance and illuminate your subject, day or night.

2. Fake a drone shot

Aerial shots are possible without a drone

“Pushing Forward” is a straightforward shot. Attach your gimbal to an extension pole, tripod, or monopod, extend and raise it over your head, and then begin walking forward toward your subject.

Here shadow sensitivity is key: your extension pole and camera, like a drone’s shadow, can get in the way of the shot. Avoid your shadow in the shot by being cautious when shooting, i.e. don’t shoot with the sun directly behind you.

3. Do the Ninja walk

Get the right walk for that smooth level shot

TikToker Lacapture said that smooth videos necessitate the use of additional skills, such as the Ninja walk.

Keep your knees bent and your muscles engaged but still allow for movement. Now take a step forward and roll your foot gently from heel to ball of your foot while compensating for the small differences in height with your legs.

This will take some practice and may feel strange at first, but your videos will become smoother and smoother with each attempt.

4. Mix it up 

Change up shooting style for added interest

When people get their first gimbal, one of the most common mistakes is thinking they have to use the gimbal for every shot.

Mix it up! If we take our inspiration from movies, most don’t have gliding shots all the time. Most use a shot mixed with still or handheld shots. Take a moment and think about what you want to show with the gimbal shot.

5. Choose your mode

Select the right mode on your gimbal to open up a world of cinematic possibilities

Most gimbals are pretty straightforward and work in a similar way, with a set of modes tailored to specific filmmaking scenarios. Some modes, for example, limit one or more of the pan, tilt, and roll axis movements to make shots smoother and other modes allow you to move in any direction, giving your gimbal complete control.

TikToker Davidddodle shared on his channel that the most commonly used modes with gimbals to help you get to capture some awesome stylised footage include:

  1. Auto face tracking – here the gimbal will lock onto and follow your face without your having to move the gimbal

  2. Inception mode or a 360 degree spin shot

Other gimbal modes often employed are: complete follow, follow pan, locking and view.

Have a play shooting in different settings and find a mode that works for you.

6. Explore dedicated gimbal apps

Apps allow you to explore your creativity

All gimbals come with apps, for example, the ZY Cami app. This app is adaptable and it can provide Tiktokers with an intuitive solution for the creation and editing of video content.

You can let your imagination run wild with a 4K video recording at 60 frames per second.

Or you can choose panorama mode which manages to capture the magnificence of landscapes, while timelapse, hyperlapse, and motionlapse modes add dimensions and perspectives to your video.

7. Time-lapse for a movie feel

Turn your video into a movie scene with motion time-lapse mode.

Many of today’s films and TV shows use this technique to emphasise journeys or the passage of time, and it has always been an effective feature.

Almost all new phones include timelapse features that allow you to create videos that are easily editable and better suited for individual and small-scale content creation. However, using CapCut can elevate your time-lapse videos with advanced editing tools, such as speed adjustments, color grading, and smooth transitions, giving them a more cinematic touch. You can also enhance the storytelling aspect by adding background music, subtitles, or voiceovers to create a more engaging and polished final product.

In general, static subjects won’t help much. Something has to move in the background for it to be interesting.

8. Take control with your gestures

Taking a photo or recording a video is now as simple as making a V peace sign gesture

TikToker Btypep mentioned in his video that by using a gimbal with your phone you can start your videos with hand gestures such as the v-shaped peace sign or presenting your palm forward and it will automatically track your face to start shooting. It can even track your face to make filming easier.

A good starter gimbal to choose for this feature would be: ZHIYUN SMOOTH Q4, a compact stabiliser with an extendable rod for extreme angle shooting. It offers gesture control, as well as slow-motion shooting.

9.  Capture fast-paced action

Moving shots add dynamism

When you film something on your smartphone it’s often a bit shaky, so you can use a gimbal which uses sensors and motors to stabilise and support your phone camera. This is even more important when filming shots with a lot of movement such as your latest dance or sports routines. Dynamic shots add interest and draw in your audience.

A smartphone gimbal such as the ZHIYUN Smooth 5, using your camera’s autofocus and the gimbal’s modes to pan and lock onto your subject one will aid in the stabilisation of your content and the creation of smooth clips.

The ZHIYUN team hopes to have inspired Tiktokers with these tips and urges them to get their smartphones and cameras out to create more inspirational or fun videos in 2023.

What Is Jenkins in CI/CD – Everything You Need To Know

Jenkins is a well-known and effective open-source automation server that assists businesses in automating the software delivery process. Its main use is to implement continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) pipelines, but it can do much more. In this guide, we’ll overview what is Jenkins, its features, and how to install it. Let’s get started!

What Is Jenkins?

 

  • Jenkins is an automation server that is available as open source, helping organizations automate software delivery. It can be used to implement a continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) pipeline.

 

  • Jenkins is implemented in Java and can be used to monitor executions of repetitive tasks, like building a software project or  running the jobs by cron.

 

  • Jenkins can be installed on-premises or used as a cloud-based solution. In addition, there are many plugins available that extend the functionality of Jenkins.

 

What Is The CICD Pipeline In Jenkins?

 

  • A CICD pipeline is a process that automates the tasks involved in the software development lifecycle, from development, testing the software for any flaws or bugs, to deployment and monitoring the same after the release happens. Jenkins is a well known open-source tool that helps teams automate this process. Jenkins has an ability to run builds in parallel on multiple nodes, which can dramatically speed up the process. 

 

  • Additionally, Jenkins can be configured to automatically trigger builds when changes are made to the codebase, which makes it easy to maintain the software and keeping it up-to-date. While many other tools provide similar functionality, Jenkins is a widely used tool that helps teams deliver software quickly and reliably.

 

Why Use Jenkins?

There are many aspects why you would want to use Jenkins. A few key reasons include:

 

1. It is open-source, so it is free to use.

 

2. It is highly configurable and extensible, with hundreds of plugins available.

 

3. It has excellent documentation.

 

4. It integrates well with other tools and systems.

 

5. Ease of setting it up on any platform and use. 

 

What Is The Jenkins Core Terminology?

In Jenkins, a “job” is a group of one or more build steps executed in order, each step potentially generating new artifacts. Jobs can be chained together in a linear sequence or organized into arbitrarily complex workflows. A given job will generally produce the same output every time it is run, although some jobs are configured to “poll SCM”, which means they will run periodically and check for changes in source control.

 

  • Artifacts are the files generated by a building job. Other jobs can be used in downstream pipelines or archived for later retrieval.

 

  • A “build” is a specific instance of a job running to completion. The term can also refer to the process of running a job, as in “trigger a build”.

 

  • “SCM” stands for “source control management”. Jenkins can poll various SCM systems for changes and trigger builds automatically when changes are detected.

 

  • A “node” is a machine that Jenkins can deploy jobs to. This could be a physical machine, a virtual machine, or even a cloud instance.

 

  • A “pipeline” is a group of jobs chained together in an automated workflow. Pipelines can be triggered manually or automatically and run on a schedule.

 

  • “Jenkinsfile” is a text file that defines a Jenkins pipeline. It is typically checked into source control and a project’s code.

 

How To Install Jenkins?

Jenkins can be installed on-premises or used as a cloud-based solution. In addition, many plugins are available that extend the functionality of Jenkins.

 

  • To install Jenkins on-premises, you will need to install a server with a supported operating system and a JDK. We advise to use the latest LTS release of Jenkins. You can download it from the official Jenkins website.

 

  • Once you have downloaded the Jenkins .war file, you can run it using java -jar Jenkins. war. This will start a Jetty server instance on port 8080 by default. You can then access Jenkins at http://localhost:8080.

 

  • To install Jenkins as a cloud-based solution, you can use one of the many hosted providers, such as CloudBees, Amazon Elastic Beanstalk, or Heroku.

 

Conclusion

Jenkins is a powerful tool that helps teams deliver software quickly and reliably. It is open-source, highly configurable, and easy to use. It can be used for both CI and CD and has a wide variety of plugins. Jenkins is a great tool for automating software development workflows.

What Is Text Translation? How Does Text Translation Work?

Text translation refers to converting written words from a source to a target language without losing the message’s meaning. The translation process is complex since you must communicate the same information in the target language without losing aspects such as humor, slang, expressions, and proverbs. People get their seminar transcripts, books, websites, legal documents, user manuals, product descriptions, and medical records translated all the time.

How Does Text Translation Work?

You can either use human translation or use translation software. Machine translation software is straightforward. It requires that you upload the source document into the translation software for it to convert the text to the language of your choice.

However, this first method is unreliable as it produces awkward errors. You can attribute these blunders to the fact that translation software does not understand the complexities of the human language and, therefore, cannot interpret aspects such as humor. Software usually translates the document word for word instead of looking at the big picture.

Human translation is more reliable because people can use their intelligence to understand the context of a document. Human translators can also apply their technical training in medicine, marketing, or law to deliver accurate translations. Here’s the process that a human translator follows when translating a document.

1. Understand the Scope of the Original Document

In this step, the translator must read the document and understand its scope and the required technical knowledge. Then, they can tell how long it will take to work on the project.

2. Get to Work

After reading through the document, the translator starts the translation process. Ideally, they’ll work on the text in bite-sized 5-10 words. They will constantly research terms and phrases they may not comprehend in the source language to convert them into the target language accurately.

3. Review the Work

Once done, the translator will read through the translated content to confirm aspects such as sentence structure, clarity, and adherence to regulations. They review the content while comparing it to the original text to ensure they have not misinterpreted or missed any part of the text.

4. Proofread the Translation

A translator should proofread the document after they have taken a break. This will ensure that they look at the translation with a clear mind to identify any errors.

5. Determine if the Translation Meets Quality Standards

When confidentiality allows, the translator hands the translated document to another professional dedicated chiefly to quality assurance. They go through the document keenly to help point out any errors the primary translator may have missed when proofreading. The second pair of eyes is also essential in ensuring that the translation retains the meaning of the source language.

6. Format the Document

The translator must confirm that the layout of the translated document matches that of the initial one. Aspects such as numbering, the hierarchy of headings, line breaks, and diagrams such as graphs should all maintain their appearance in the document as they were in the original text. Preserving a document’s general appearance is fundamental for comprehension.

7. Perform a Final Check Before Submission

The translator does one last verification of the entire document on the grammar, context, and appearance of the text. After they are satisfied that the document is correct, they send it to the client via email in an editable format. 

Final Thoughts

Human translation gives more accurate results compared to machine translation. When a translator follows all the steps of the translation process, they should deliver error-free translations. Whether you decide to hire a translation agency or a freelance translator, it is fundamental that you establish what approach they’ll follow when working on your project.

Review – Hearprotek earplugs

Go to concerts loud events or work on a building site this simple product can save your ears from harms way. A simple and affordable solution to save the ears is a good investment. These also can  be useful for sleeping and whilst they are not a product loaded with tech they do not provide a full ANC experience but more a passive noise cancelling one.

In my testing they do the job they are set out to do and ideal for DJs and concert goers more so where it can be extra loud and hard on the ears they can also be stored in the portable tin and clipped onto your bag or jeans with the carabiner clip which is handy and also be kept clean in the storage tin.

  • 【Preserve High Fidelity Audio】 Hearprotek Music ear plugs do an effective job of bringing down the overall volume, blocking background noises at a comfortable level while preserving the sound clarity and sharpness. You won’t experience any muffling with these plugs as you would foam-based ones and you will be able to hear different sound frequencies and talk to people without having to worry of muffling.
  • 【20db Noise Reduction】 Comes with 2 sets of 20db ear plugs in different sizes (small & standard), cutting up an impressive 20db’s of sound volume which is a pretty good amount for a concert or band rehearsal, and you can always have your spare plug in case any plugs are fallen out unfortunately or missing.
  • 【Designed For Comfort】 Made of high quality silicone material that provides comfort from prolonged usage. If you have small ear canals, the small size of ear plugs are your best choice, they are designed to have an ergonomic curved body with two flange tip that follows the shape of your ear canal, which provides a snag and comfortable fit.
