There is not many cases out yet for the new Samsung devices and the OG cases cost a packet one could argue if you can buy a phone at that price outright you can afford a case however hard cases do not really do it for me and I prefer TPU cases, some more cases and skins are on the way as we speak but today we check out the Foluu case which can be bought on Amazon.
This case covers all corners and has a lip on the front so the case can be placed faced down, also to note the cover display is also protected and the case does work with wireless chargers. The only exposed part of the device is the actual hinge so this is something to consider should you wish to purchase..
Dell Technologies announced today that it has teamed up with the HSE to launch ‘Digital Futures in Healthcare’, a new educational programme that will provide healthcare professionals in Ireland with the tools and knowledge to apply new technologies within healthcare settings.
Developed in partnership with the HSE, the free online course offers healthcare workers and leaders across the country the opportunity to develop highly sought-after skills required to accelerate the digital transformation of Ireland’s healthcare system.
The six-month programme is designed to help healthcare staff across the HSE and its partner ecosystem to take advantage of the opportunities afforded by connected health, emerging technologies and personalised health solutions while ensuring the protection of patient data. Participants will gain insights into next generation diagnostics, the healthcare digital workplace of the future and the transformation of primary care management.
Included among the subject experts due to speak as part of the programme are James Norman, Healthcare CIO at Dell Technologies; Ryan Heynes, Healthcare leader for Dell Technologies Ireland; Paul Reid, CEO of the HSE; and Neil O’Hare, CIO and Professor of Health Informatics at Children’s Health Ireland.
Martin Curley, Director of Digital Transformation and Innovation at the HSE, said: “From our doctors and nurses to those innovating behind the scenes, the ‘Digital Futures in Healthcare’ course will prove invaluable to all those involved in providing healthcare services in Ireland.
“Technology has become an important tool in the fight against COVID-19 and a driver in the broader modernization of our healthcare system through Sláintecare. We’ve seen the reduction in barriers to digital innovation over the past 18 months and aligned with Slaintecare we will build on this using our Digital Innovation Strategy ‘Stay Left, Shift Left’ to achieve better outcomes for patients, reduce costs and improve quality. With the co-development of this programme with Dell Technologies, we can unleash a new era of healthcare transformation and help Ireland become a European digital health leader in the years ahead.”
Jason Ward, Vice President and Managing Director of Dell Technologies in Ireland, said: “We’re proud to join forces with the HSE to launch our ‘Digital Futures in Healthcare’ programme today. The past year and a half has proven to be a turning point for digital transformation in healthcare with frontline workers embracing technology at unprecedented speed as they bravely treated those impacted by the pandemic and dealt with the challenges of recent months. By equipping more people with digital skills, the healthcare system in Ireland has a unique opportunity to accelerate the deployment of technology to improve patient outcomes, protect patient data and support the vital work of all those providing vital healthcare services.”
The ‘Digital Futures in Healthcare’ programme gets underway on September 22nd with six virtual webinars taking place from September 2021 to February 2022. Learners will receive a Dell Technologies and HSE Digital Academy certified diploma upon completion of the course.

As a student, it can feel frustrating when you lose important school notes because of a breakdown. Lost information will lead to losing plenty of effort and time to recover or restore the information.
This is why it’s important to store your data on the hard drive of your computer or mobile device that you don’t want to lose. You need a backup strategy that’s part of your “cyber hygiene.” Here, you will learn some tips for how to properly store your data so it won’t get compromised.
Create a data backup
A data backup is an archive or a copy of the important files stored on your devices, including your phone, tablet, and computer. With a data backup, you can easily restore the files when something happens that causes you to lose your data. Creating a data backup gives you the assurance that your information is completely safe. It will eliminate any stress you might feel when you realize that all of your treasured memories and hard work will be gone forever.
The main reason for backing up your files is to have a secure place where you store your important information, whether these be treasured photos of your loved ones, academic documents, and more. In case your devices break down, you can easily restore your files using the data backup.whether it’s a photo or a deleted file in Microsoft 365.

Store files on your hard drive
With important data and files, it’s advisable to become proactive instead of reactive. This means that you should take preventive measures to keep your computer’s data protected no matter what type of hard drive you have installed.
If your hard drive gets damaged, you can still recover lost data by taking out the hard drive from your computer, then connecting it to another device like a laptop or a desktop computer. Doing this allows you to see if your files got damaged or not. If they’re still there, make sure to back them up right away. If your hard drive has been completely corrupted, you can try to retrieve your data using data recovery software. For this, it’s recommended to ask a professional to do this for you.
Get more storage space
You may save some money by only choosing to store data that you cannot replace. But if you can afford data storage, it’s better to back everything up on your device. In doing this, you can determine what data storage options are ideal with the different types of data you have. For instance, if something happens at home, you might lose a physical data backup device like a removable media device. But the data you have backed up in online storage Google Drive won’t.
Therefore, it makes sense that you should store irreplaceable information in the option that you’re not likely to lose it. Then you won’t have to choose between the two options. Store your data in both options is the safest bet since you won’t lose your data no matter what happens.
Backup before deleting
It’s normal for computer users to update, create, delete, and save files on their devices. But sometimes, files get overwritten or deleted unintentionally. Even with precise computers, we are still humans who make mistakes. Fortunately, there are some safety measures you can take advantage of. One such feature is the Recycle Bin, where you can still recover your files if you delete them accidentally.
But there might be situations where you can’t depend on the Recycle Bin either. Such situations include when you delete files from drives or when you delete files that are too big for the capacity of your recycle bin. This can also happen when you press Shift + Delete, which deletes your files permanently or when you delete files using the Windows Command Prompt. Therefore, before deleting files, you should back them up first.
Conclusion
The most important things when using networks and devices are the data you have created and stored there. While you can always reinstall operating systems and applications, user-created data is a different story. This is why you should always store important data safely.

RIWBOX is a brand that have super affordable headphones and more on offer for sale on Amazon and can also be purchased from their site directly and you can take a look at their entire catalogue. Costing around 40 euros at the time of press these are an affordable pair of headphones that also look good and come in two colours and are also easy to take care off. You can see a quick shorts unboxing here..
With a clean design and look they are simple to use with all the buttons on one side which makes life easy, there is three buttons that do all the controls which we go through in the video below. there is a ratchet style arm extension both sides and they is not much more movement here when it comes to the cups as they are locked into place..
Comfort is fine here even with long term use and that is important,no sweating like some headphones and they are also not clamped onto your head either, despite the lack of flexibility in general they did not cause me any problems during my testing.
When it comes to sound they are pretty good all round and better than expected for their price point and would easily please any teenager or adult, the volume is decent highs lows and mids and so on and ideal for watching movies and gaming etc.
There is no auto play and pause here nor an app or assistant access but you can take calls and control and quick access last call on phone.. Also to note you do get the option to use the 3.5mm cable which has an inline control should you run out of juice so overall for anyone an ideal package for them starting off..
