Sheltered 2 launches on 21st September. #Gaming #Sheltered2

Team17 and Unicube Studios have today announced resource management survival game Sheltered 2 will be launching on Steam on 21st September. Placing players into a post-apocalyptic landscape Sheltered 2 tasks players with surviving the horrors that await at the end of the world. Building upon the foundations of the 2016 original, Sheltered 2 features revamped combat systems and new factions mechanics for deeper strategic gameplay, a new 3D art style, and punishing survival challenges spread out across the devastated surface of the Earth.

 

As the fight to survive is tested by internal and external threats, players will create and build up their own faction and base, manage resources and meet survivor needs.  Sheltered 2’s factions system in is instrumental to a campaign’s success; relationships can be forged between factions, giving players the option to trade and work together, with both sides thriving from the association. Alternatively, bitter rivalries can be ignited, potentially leading to catastrophic effects and ushering in an untimely end to the faction leader and their base.

 

Sheltered 2 Key Features:

  • Factions: The factions system allows players to forge relationships with other groups to provide their base with resources and support, or they can grab their weapons and take things the old-fashioned way
  • Resource Management: Players will balance the needs and wants of their survivors, manage scarce resources, craft items needed to maintain the shelter, cook meals, and build equipment to keep their group alive, and with the expanded power system players can generate energy in new ways
  • Faction Leader: New for Sheltered 2, the faction leader is the most important member of a shelter, boasting their own unique and powerful traits, the faction leader will be pivotal to success, with their death meaning game over
  • An Unforgiving Wasteland: Starvation, asphyxiation, extreme temperatures, and combat are just some of the challenges players will face in the harsh wasteland
  • Combat: In Sheltered 2 players will use a variety of skills coupled with the ability to build parties of four and targeting specific body parts on their enemies to deal the most visceral damage in combat situations. Each action performed also has a stamina cost, so strategy will be at the forefront of every altercation, each move critical in the balance of life and death
  • Characters: Survivors have their own personalities, traits, desires, and skills to acquire, and the ability to customise each individually means every faction member is unique.

Survivors looking to start their adventure in the wasteland can wishlist Sheltered 2 on Steam. To keep up to date with all the information

Google Trends turns 15 this summer. Trends from 2006 and 2021 compared.

What were you doing in 2006? Maybe you were going through your emo phase. Maybe you were loving low rise jeans. Maybe you were mourning Pluto’s (temporary) demotion from planet to dwarf planet.

Maybe you were checking out these trends — and plenty of others — on Google Trends, which went live in the summer of 2006. Though the tool’s data goes back to 2004, it became available two years later. This summer, Google Trends turns 15, so we thought it would be the perfect time to look back on trends of yesteryear and compare what people were searching for back in 2006 to today.

For me gaming and tech obviously was something of interest and also trainers and those who follow me know of late I have been picking up old school trainers that where out back in the day and there is a love for all things retro right now.

Tech Review – SOUL Emotion max ANC headphones. #SOUL #ANC #Tech

The latest offering from SOUL is their new emotion max ANC headphones which I have been testing for a while now and they are a very worthy contenter in the market for the price and come with all the features you would expect to do so and more. Well presented too with the packaging this was a good start to the overall experience.

Check out the unboxing here and see what you get for your money ..,

Built for the modern consumer, EMOTION MAX allows wearers to effortlessly switch back and forth between Normal, Active Noise Cancellation and Audio Transparency mode, while Bluetooth Multipoint Technology empowers users to stream music, answer calls, and receive notifications from two separate devices at once. Not only can consumers expect SOUL’s signature precision sound, complete with a powerful 40mm driver and AptX and AAC codec, but they will have clear-sounding calls and voice communication with the built-in Qualcomm® CvC™ 8.0 (Clear Voice Capture). EMOTION MAX also boasts up to 38 hours of music, entertainment, and talk time (24 hours with ANC function on).

Comfort and build

These are very light in comparison to some headphones recently tested here and are robust, they are made of mostly plastic but still strong and no creaks as seen in the unboxing and that is a good sign. These can be worn for hours on end too with no issues with that head clamping experience you might find on some headphones and your ears do not sweat either.

Controls

The controls are great and easy to use and after a while using them blindly is fine too, all the controls are on one side which I like and prefer and the keys are slightly raised and all commands can be done from the one side which we go through in the video below it is a simple affair and executed well..

Sound

Well this is the bit most people just read reviews for and it is good to report all is good here, One thing I would like is for soul to have an app in the near future to enhance the experience even more but out of the box the sound overall is great at this price point. One caveat noted was some tunes maxed out with ANC off got distorted sometimes but having ANC headphones I use the ANC and hardly use transparency mode but having said that these modes do work really well and are a great addition to the features on the headphones.

For movies You Tube and gaming etc you will be happy with the audio quality given here with good direction highs lows and mids are good too and in general a listening experience you will enjoy.

The other major benefit with these is multipoint technology which allows you to connect to two devices at once so for me working at home connecting to my phone and pc make these a great pair of headphones to have and makes life much easier.

Netmore building out nationwide LoRaWAN IoT network in UK and Ireland offering coverage on demand

The IoT operator Netmore will imminently be embarking on an extensive venture to build a nationwide IoT network using the LoRaWAN standard in the UK. The investment is part of an international rollout plan for Netmore’s IoT Network infrastructure, which Sweden and recently Ireland have already launched. The strategic decision to expand the existing network with nationwide coverage in the UK is based on an increased demand for large-scale cost-efficient IoT connectivity.

Following the successful launches of nationwide rollout for LoRaWAN in Sweden and Ireland, the United Kingdom is next. The international expansion of the Netmore IoT network is part of a strategy which aims at providing both local and global IoT companies with cost-efficient, robust, and reliable IoT connectivity. The infrastructure and network technology are purpose-built for connecting millions of devices in a wide range of different industries and sectors.

Netmore, through subsidiaries, cooperation agreements, customer agreements and contacts, has been active in the UK since the beginning of 2020.

International IoT recipe for success is introduced in UK

In connection with the LoRaWAN establishment and the official launch, Netmore introduces four proven growth concepts with which it has had success in the Swedish and Irish market. The concepts have been developed to create the best possible conditions for IoT growth for the company’s existing and prospective IoT partners.

LoRaWAN – Coverage on demand

For IoT service providers, Netmore offers to adapt the network expansion to their application and device rollout plan. Netmore is building LoRaWAN to ensure that the distributed devices receive the coverage needed for their IoT solution. This is necessary to create the intended benefit for the end IoT user.

LoRaWAN – Try for free (platform included)

IoT service- and solution providers as well as other IoT players will have the opportunity to test Netmore’s entire LoRaWAN offering free of charge. Five devices can be connected for three months, and Netmore’s complete IoT platform is included. The platform provides the ability to control and monitor the devices, while a full-scale and cyber-secure bidirectional API makes it possible to integrate the IoT solution as is desired.

Integrated IoT connectivity in IoT solutions

Netmore’s partners (for example IoT service providers and sensor manufacturers) will have the opportunity to create and package commercially viable IoT solutions, where the network connection is fully integrated into the cost of the solution. When the cost of connectivity is integrated at an early stage in IoT projects, the probability increases for a smooth process when the project goes from pilot phase to commercial delivery.

Embedded IoT connectivity at device level

For IoT device manufacturers, distributors, and general agents, Netmore offers the opportunity to embed connectivity through a network onboarding process in which each device is granted access to the IoT network before reaching the market. The distribution of pre-onboarded devices includes a fully manageable IoT platform, and sub-accounts can be distributed to partners such as re-sellers and solution providers.

“LoRaWAN is rapidly emerging as the most versatile and important technology for IoT networking.  It is also becoming clear around the world that for industrial, professional and mission critical users, access to a carrier grade network is essential. They need to rely on a well defined and carefully managed network to get the best out of this exciting technology.”, said Stefan Stanislawski, managing director of Netmore in the UK

Netmore – A member of the LoRa Alliance® roaming initiative

Netmore is one of 26 operators participating in an international collaboration enabling seamless roaming between 27 countries. LoRaWAN roaming is available between both public and private networks, and enables a number of new IoT applications, for tracking, logistics and other use cases where the combination of cross-network mobility and connectivity is a prerequisite.

“It is very exciting to see Netmore’s rapid expansion of LoRaWAN networks around the world, supplemented by its participation in the LoRa Alliance’s roaming initiative,” said Donna Moore, CEO and Chairwoman of the LoRa Alliance. “This type of collaboration is what the alliance is all about, making it as easy as possible to deploy LoRaWAN solutions. Netmore’s range of service offerings take ease of deployment one step further by providing options for a wide range of end users.”

IoT companies: Request LoRaWAN connectivity for your project today

We are looking forward to hear from individual companies’ connectivity teams to discuss their project and integrate it within our rollout plans.

In summary, with the UK launch, Netmore is gearing up to create the best possible conditions to realise the many IoT projects that have the capacity to create great societal contribution. Netmore’s carrier grade LoRaWAN is ready to provide IoT service providers with the coverage required to make the project profitable.

HP Delivers New Social Hub for Life and Work in Today’s Hybrid World

Today, HP Inc. announced the launch of the HP Chromebase 21.5 inch All-in-One Desktop – the world’s first Chromebase AiO with a rotating display for improved browsing experiences. Designed to be placed anywhere in the home for the ultimate family sharing, entertainment, and learning experience, the Chromebase AiO delivers personalised experiences tailored to each user in the household.

Today’s Chrome OS users seek technology solutions that support and optimise their lifestyle including hybrid work and family time, according to recent research from HP. They are not only purchasing a device that allows them to work from home (63%), but also buying a device for someone else (27%) within their household. In fact, 52% of respondents have children, which explains why 53% used Chrome OS for both work and school. The new Chromebase AiO addresses this change to deliver personalised experiences tailored to each user in the household.

HP Chromebase All-in-One: The Social Hub for Your Home

The HP Chromebase AiO features a unique design that is head turning and practical anywhere in the home, with a 21.5-inch FHD rotating touch display. The screen can tilt upwards 20 degrees, and easily rotate 90 degrees from landscape to portrait mode with a simple touch for new ways to experience entertainment and immersive content. Portrait mode allows for better viewing to read, to scroll through lengthy webpages and social posts, or to be more productive when taking notes, or creating and editing documents. And the HP Chromebase AiO’s split screen feature allows for viewing multiple pages simultaneously for enhanced productivity and versatility.

“The last year and a half drastically shifted consumers to a new hybrid world, putting a focus on how they think about and use their devices, with a change from one PC per household to now one PC per person to work, live, and play,” said Josephine Tan, Global Head and General Manager, Consumer PCs at HP Inc. “HP collaborated closely with Google to optimise our newest platforms, along with curating a superb and secure software and app ecosystem for the best possible experience on Chrome OS devices. As a result, we’re expanding our Chrome OS portfolio with the introduction of the the HP Chromebase 21.5 inch All-in-One as users search for devices that help them seek a more personal, or family friendly experience, in today’s hybrid world.”

 

“With the new Chromebase All-in-One, we’re thrilled to collaborate with HP to provide more people with the speedy, secure, and simple computing experience of Chrome OS,” said Alexander Kuscher, Director of Chrome OS Software at Google. “Whether it’s having peace of mind that your data is secure or that you’re able to get things done, we’re committed to meeting the needs of our users for work learning, or play, be it at home or on the go.”

Along with the reimagining of an all-in-one display, the device features:

  • Intel® Core™ processors with up to 256 GB SSD storage and up to 16 GB DRAM memory to handle whatever coursework or entertainment needs are thrown at it.
  • An amazing audio and video experience for video calls and online learning, with Audio by B&O, dual 5W speakers, and a 5 MP camera with a large sensor to allow for dynamic adjustment from low lighting for higher quality images in any room. And easily turn on and off the camera and microphone with the Privacy Camera Switch.
  • Works With Chromebook certified wireless Bluetooth mouse and keyboard keeps the space clean and cord free, and allows easy transitions from hands-free web browsing to a learning and productivity powerhouse in an instant.
  • HP QuickDrop to transfer content quickly and easily to and from mobile devices to the HP Chromebase AiO.
  • Built to last: the compact conical base design offers a small footprint for any room and is made with an internal die cast aluminum for added strength and stability. The elevated base offers improved air flow and helps protect from minor spills. The fabric-wrapped base is durable and kid-friendly, easily tolerating a gentle wipe with a damp cloth.
  • Google’s familiar tools and Chrome OS capabilities, including:

o   A single log-in to seamlessly transition from an Android phone to the HP Chromebase AiO.

o   Google User profile management so everyone in the family can have their own unique experience.

o   Voice search via Google Assistant for hands-free and intuitive interaction.

    • Ambient Mode to quickly access content or run a slide show of a photo library.
    • Google Family Link for additional parental control setting and built-in Chrome OS security.
    • Access Play Store apps on a bigger screen for a more immersive experience, and take advantage of Google Stadia Online gaming for a much-deserved game break.
    • Immediate wake upon mouse movement or keyboard press, and rapid full-start only takes a few seconds.

“We were excited to collaborate with HP and Google to help deliver this world’s first Chromebase AiO that delivers the evolving collaboration, entertainment, and learning experiences for today’s families,” said Mandy Mock, Intel Vice President and General Manager of Desktop, Workstation and Channel Group at Intel Corporation.

 

HP continues to innovate across all areas of its business to build on the World’s Most Sustainable Portfolio. The new HP Chromebase AiO features sustainably sourced packaging, and the speaker cloth is 100% recycled polyester. It is also both Energy Star Certified and ePeat Silver certified.

DLab’s Portable Monitor: Efficient, Versatile, and now on Sale.

With many people switching between remote and office work, it isn’t easy to find computer setups that have everything you need. Monitor space is at a premium these days, so an additional monitor is always handy. But when you constantly travel, why choose a stationary, bulky screen? Portable monitors might sound like a subpar deal, but emerging technological improvements have made them better than ever.

The DLab monitor, from the relatively unknown Desklab brand, is one of the more surprising lightweight touchscreen monitor models we’ve encountered. It has extremely respectable specs when considering its price, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find a flaw in its system.

Desklab’s monitor is a handy piece of highly portable equipment. Weighing only 1.3 pounds, it’s lighter than the current iPad. While it can’t work independently like a tablet, most people already have an advanced computing device in their pockets (a smartphone, for example). The monitor’s design exemplifies portability and versatility, with a special focus on ease of use. Its hallmark feature is the PnP compatibility with pretty much any device imaginable, from smartphones and tablets to PCs and even most modern consoles. It also has a mini-HDMI port, two micro-USBs, an audio jack, and a USB-C port, allowing it to function as a dongle to charge other gadgets. It doesn’t contain a battery, so make sure you pack a full charge on whatever you plan to use it on. It doesn’t drain the battery as such, but the drain will add up over time.

This is also a touchscreen monitor, although you have to plug a touchscreen-enabled device for this feature to work properly. You won’t magically turn a mouse-and-keyboard setup of a desktop PC into a tablet while using this monitor, although there might be software for that. The monitor works best when paired with a stylus-enabled laptop or tablet, allowing you to use the beautiful 4K resolution, 15.6-inch screen to its utmost advantage. Due to the native touchscreen support and tablet compatibility, this is probably the best monitor for designers who use a stylus or other touch-enabled functions to for their creative work.

Did we mention this monitor works seamlessly with consoles and mobile devices? This is a great way to turn a mobile phone into a mini gaming rig when on the go and enjoy some games in never-before-seen large-screen format. The monitor has an anti-glare coating and is extremely bright, allowing you to see everything perfectly without tiring the eyes, which can be a genuine concern for people working long hours staring at the screen.

Overall, this PnP portable monitor is mighty powerful indeed. While it can’t outperform the best gaming monitor models on the market, those will probably cost a fortune anyway. The DLab monitor is surprisingly cheap considering its insane (in a good way) specifications. Plus, it’s sometimes on sale to sweeten the deal.

If you need a second monitor to jump-start your work productivity or set up a streaming system, or just want to have a mobile workstation wherever you travel, the DLab monitor might just be your best investment. Check out its specifications at www.dlmonitor.com

Planning To Build A Membership Site? Here’s What To Do

If you’re looking to start a membership site, then you might be overwhelmed with all the information out there about how to get started. This article will help guide you through creating your membership website and provide some tips on what it takes. It will discuss everything from choosing a domain name, deciding if it’s suitable for your business needs, and setting up an account on WordPress.

 

1. Get a Domain Name

Securing a domain name is the first step in building a membership site. First, you need to decide whether or not you want your domain name (ex: my-domain.com) or if you’re going to use a free web hosting provider like WordPress. So think about this before registering your domain name because it can be difficult and expensive to change after registration!

Domain names are typically registered for one year at a time. That’s why you are advised to do some research on what kind of pricing plans each company offers so that when the renewal date approaches, you don’t pay more than necessary. Some websites offer discounts if paid annually rather than monthly, while others charge an extra fee per month for the past twelve months.

2. Choose your Niche

Many niches can be found on membership sites. For example, online yoga courses on different topics, like Yoga for Beginners or Gentle Yoga. If you aren’t sure where to start, it’s easier to get learning today on how you can find a profitable niche. The best option depends on how much time and effort you’re willing to invest in this endeavor from day one.

The best way to start is by asking yourself what you want your membership site to be about or for whom it will serve. Do you want a course on blogging? A course on finance basics? All of these topics can work well in the form of an informative membership-driven website.

3. Decide on a Pricing Plan and Structure

A membership site should include a plan and structure that helps you know what your memberships will cost, how much content they’ll have access to, and when the pricing plans are renewed.

A membership site should also be personalized for each member so all of them can get their money’s worth out of it.

 

4. Create Content for the Membership Site

 

Content is everything in a membership site. It’s what differentiates the members from your other visitors, and it’s why they’ve chosen to pay you for content rather than just reading free stuff elsewhere on the internet. Quality content takes up most of the space in any website and is also one of its key features, making it stand out from similar websites that offer content.

An excellent way to start would be by looking at articles related to “how-to” topics such as cooking or car maintenance so you can give people something practical for them right away.

 

5. Set up an Email List 

Keeping tabs with your audience is crucial, even if you have a small email list. There are many ways to do this, and you must find the one that suits your business needs best.

The first step is setting up an opt-in form on your website or blog so people can subscribe to be notified of any new content published in the future without having to check back frequently.

If your audience includes businesses, how about creating a mailing list? That way, they’ll receive information on industry updates explicitly related to them from time to time – just like when their favorite store sends out its latest coupons via mail!

Another option would be for those interested in what’s happening with your company, but not necessarily as frequent subscribers themselves could become members of a Facebook group. They’ll receive updates from you and have easy access to your content as it’s published on Facebook, but still not be bothered by other posts in their timeline too often.

6. Promote

Like any other site, you’ll need to promote your membership site.

Promote it on social media, blog about the benefits of joining a membership site in your niche, and link back to your website. When talking about these things online, create quality content that solves problems for people looking for solutions right now!

 

This article discusses all the details you need to get started with your membership site. Whether you want a place for customers to access exclusive content, offer services or sell products- now is the time to make it happen! It can be overwhelming and intimidating at first, but with the tips shared in this article- you’ll have all the information and resources needed to build your membership site.
