Tourism Ireland unveils new Assassin’s Creed Valhalla campaign #TourismIreland #Gaming

Tourism Ireland has teamed up with Ubisoft, the creator of the popular video game Assassin’s Creed® Valhalla, in a new campaign to promote Ireland. Celebrating Ireland’s starring role in the recently launched expansion of the video game, called Wrath of the Druids, Tourism Ireland aims to reach a new audience of gamers around the world.

Playing as Eivor, a fierce leader of a Viking clan, gamers must make their way through Ireland’s haunted forests and stunning backdrops, while gaining influence among Gaelic Kings. The game gives players a chance to immerse themselves in our beautiful landscapes and includes many real-life locations, such as the Giant’s Causeway, the Hill of Tara, Benbulben and Dublin.

The Tourism Ireland campaign will include a collaboration with popular influencers in key tourism markets, including Great Britain, Germany, France, Spain and the Nordic countries. This is the first time that Tourism Ireland has worked with popular gaming content creators; all have a strong following on Twitch, a live streaming platform mainly used by gamers. The content creators will showcase the otherworldly landscapes, rich culture and folklore of Ireland – which feature in Wrath of the Druids – to their hundreds of thousands of followers. The aim is to highlight those landscapes to gaming communities – and encourage them to come and discover them for themselves.

The campaign also includes a new video featuring gameplay footage from Wrath of the Druids combined with footage of the real-life locations which feature in the video game. Tourism Ireland will share the video with its millions of fans and followers on social media – bringing the various featured locations to life and highlighting Ireland’s connections with the game.

Mark Henry, Tourism Ireland’s Central Marketing Director, said: “Ubisoft has done an incredible job in bringing aspects of Celtic Ireland to life in amazing detail. Tourism Ireland’s campaign is a fun and innovative way to bring Ireland to the attention of a new audience of gamers. We want to spike players’ curiosity about the featured locations and inspire them to come and explore them in the real world.” 

 

How To Create A Gambling App

You can hear it from everywhere about the fact that gambling is almost the most profitable niche of modern online business. In addition, gambling applications take the top of the users’ rankings.

But what should be done to make an app and how to start? How to create an effective application that will generate revenue? We have prepared a whole guide on how to develop and run your app in a long distance. Enjoy!

How Does Everything Really Work?

In general, there are two main types of applications:

  1. WebView. The application itself is just a shell for the browser, launching the application, the user will see the mobile version of the casino. But the user does not understand that this is a browser, there is no URL line and other markers, for him everything looks like the most typical software.
  2. Application itself – it is a regular application.

It is for advanced users and those who have an extensive budget, since developing an application from scratch is quite expensive – both in terms of money and time. WebViews live for several months, while apps can live for a year.

Running The App: Algorithm

In short, the steps for launching the application from scratch are next:

Step 1: Choose OS: IOS or Android

Step 2: Search or create an app

Step 3: Select a traffic source to attract users

Step 4: Develop a creative ad to attract attention

Step 5: Make the final setup of the app and the ad

Doesn’t look too complicated? For the first time, it is easy to do only the last step: click on the “Start” button when everything is ready. We will explain how to deal with the 4 main steps.

Step 1: IOS Or Android

In PlayMarket, it is easier to push a gambling application: moderation is faster, there are lots of similar applications, especially online slots, they are also more Android users. The price of installation on iPhones is about two times higher. There is an opinion that iOS has a more loyal audience, but this is controversial — a beginner should stay on Android.

Step 2: Search Or Create An App

There are 3 main ways to launch the app:

  1. Order it yourself from the web developer.
  2. Rent a reliable app.
  3. Take it from the affiliate program.

The most revenue can bring your application. It will live longer since you are its only owner. Plus — you can see and control all the statistics and the internal processes of the application yourself.

The second and third options are similar: in the third, you rent the app from an affiliate program. Partner companies usually rent the app cheaper than individuals, and sometimes even free of charge. If you know where to rent a good app – feel free to use it.

How to order the app?

The easiest option is to use freelance websites. But do not immediately publish an ad: there is a high chance that a fraudster will respond. It’s easier to open a database with freelancers’ profiles, select developers with good reviews, and write to them.

When the app is ready, you need to publish it on Play Market or AppStore. To do this, you need a trusted account of a developer. 

<h3>Step 3: Select A Traffic Source To Attract Users</h3>

Not so long ago, everyone was working only with Facebook Ads. Today you can safely try your hand at Tik Tok Ads. Consider the advantages of each site.

Why choose Facebook Ads:

  • With FB, there are many similar cases on the network, it is not so difficult to find people on forums who will help you.
  • Moderation of campaigns with ads on FB is very easy since GooglePlay/AppStore are considered as trusted sites.
  • A lot of audience from almost any GEO.

Why choose Tik Tok Ads:

  • The new site, no overloaded auctions.
  • Users do not have advertising blindness yet.

But Tik Tok has non-obvious disadvantages: there are few cases and information, most of the GEO is unavailable or there is little traffic, and, most importantly, manual moderation.

Step 4: Develop A Creative Ad To Attract Attention

A lot depends on the ad: in most cases, a bad ad result is the result of bad creatives. Of course, videos are the best way to go. There are several ways to make a creative ad:

  1. Use SPY services to monitor competitors.
  2. Order from a designer who works in this market, this is usually done by most of the best Irish online casinos.
  3. Do it yourself.

It is optimal to order from the designer. The video costs $ 8-10, the person already knows the main approaches and requirements and will make sure that the works pass moderation.

Step 5: Make The Final Setup Of The App And The Ad

After the application has been developed and creatives have been created for it in the ad cabinet, you can launch everything.

 

Congratulations! Now you’re part of the gambling business and you have done a great job. Good luck!

Tech Review – Konftel Ego bluetooth speakerphone #Konftel #Tech

Having the right tools be it in the office or on the move is an important factor for many folk including myself and being in the tech space I consider myself lucky to have that equipment and get to test such out. Over the years I have tried many conference speakers and as expected they are getting better, more compact and more features and of course the price is getting better too which is a win for the consumer.

The Konftel Ego is the latest to drop on my desk and this is ideal for home use and indeed the office and with the work from home trend boom it is an ideal kit to have for more than just work duties this can be used in a personal capacity too for playing music on so you are not just buying a product for one use case scenario but two and to top it off it is portable and it is one of the slimmest ones I have used and the shape and design of this speaker is something different compared to the circular models which are popular and it stands out, several people have asked what it is here in the house and they all agreed with my thoughts on it. You can see the unboxing over on our You Tube

You get a travel pouch to store it in and the required cable to connect to your pc/laptop to charge up then you have the bluetooth connection of course keeping things wireless which I like and if you are one to be doing lots of zoom calls etc and you have the Konftel Cam 10 you have the ideal kit be it at home or if you are travelling and so on you have the ideal kit right here. It also works with works seamlessly with Microsoft Teams, Cisco Webex, Zoom, Avaya IX Workplace and many other collaborative tools.

There is a cool LCD screen underneath the grille on top that shows status/function alongside the LEDs on the side in different colours to indicate the function and then you have the simple controls on the left and right which makes it a non complicated tool to have at your disposal.

You also can connect to a smartphone or tablet so it is not just a pc based product it can be used almost anywhere, the sound that comes from the speakerphone is omnidirectional so a meeting with up to six people in a room is a breeze for this and you can hear crystal clear and the sounds pack a punch too when playing music and if you want you can connect your headphones so overall it is a win win for both office and home use and then the portability factor just tops it off for having such a compact tool that looks good and gives a great audio experience for you or anyone in your meetings.

Irish Fintech Strikepay Acquires UK Competitor Gratsi. #Fintech #Gratsi #Strikepay

Strikepay, the fast-growing Irish fintech company delivering a revolutionary patent-pending cashless tipping and payment solution, today announced that it has acquired UK competitor Gratsi (Gratsi Ltd). The acquisition will complete this month with the Gratsi founder, Jack Spargo, joining the Strikepay team as Vice President of Engineering. Working with founders Oli Cavanagh and Charles Dowd, Spargo will bring his complementary technology solution to the Strikepay platform, broadening the reach of the revolutionary cashless tipping, payments and donations proposition.

Gratsi has been operational in the UK since 2020 and has been growing its customer base in the hospitality and beauty industries. The acquisition will ensure that the synergy between the two companies can be maximised with existing Gratsi customers transitioning to Strikepay.

Strikepay was founded in late 2020 as a direct response to the challenges posed by the rapid acceleration to a cashless society. Consumers want to tip and to donate to charities but often cannot because so few now carry cash. Strikepay  fixes this problem for consumers and is rapidly growing across a number of industries including retail, tradespeople, hospitality and beauty. It is also supporting a significant number of large charities, helping them to increase cashless donations from people in a much easier way, with a simple tap of their phone.

Gratsi was launched with similar ambitions during the height of the pandemic. The company focused on facilitating contactless gratuity and tipping for workers in the hospitality and food industries and has built a loyal client base in the UK.

Speaking about the announcement Oli Cavanagh, CEO and Co-Founder, Strikepay said: “We are delighted to be making this announcement with Gratsi today and that they are as excited as we are about joining the Strikepay team to help drive our product development and innovation. The technology they have built is incredible, and they had begun to carve out a great business in the UK so by joining forces we will be able to accelerate our expansion plans beyond Ireland.

“Consumer behaviour has changed dramatically following the shift to a cashless society over the past year. Gratsi were focused on solving the same problems as we were at Strikepay and together we are well positioned to run quickly with our combined solution for both businesses and for consumers. Our unique proposition will allow us to tap into new opportunities that are opening as a result of the rapid shift to a cash free world.”

Gratsi founder Jack Spargo said: “Gratsi and Strikepay share a similar mission and when the opportunity to join forces was presented we were delighted to take it. Working together we are stronger and will be able to double down on our efforts to solve this problem positioning ourselves as the leading cashless tipping and giving solution in Europe. The reopening of society over recent weeks has demonstrated the need for this solution as well as the potential for growth. We are really excited about the opportunities ahead as part of the Strikepay team.”

Ulster University, Dell Technologies & Seagate join forces to power research into COVID-19 treatments.

Ulster University, Dell Technologies and Seagate have combined their research and data storage capabilities in a collaboration which will allow advanced analyses of COVID-19 patient data.

 

The Ulster University research team will examine large volumes of medical datasets to establish if there are links between COVID-19, genetic make-up and the severity of the disease. The findings will also inform decisions around drug treatments for those with severe symptoms and possibly Long COVID, as well as providing an insight into how genes may influence vaccination efficiency.

 

Data storage company, Seagate, and multinational IT company Dell Technologies have delivered the infrastructure required to store patient information for this major research project at the Northern Ireland Centre for Stratified Medicine based at C-TRIC on the Altnagelvin hospital campus.

 

Seagate donated 100 x 12TB Hard drives and Dell Technologies donated critical equipment and expertise to help deliver a complete solution. 

 

The collaborative partnership is part of the Data4Good initiative aimed at data usage for the benefit of humanity. It created a petabyte of data which is the equivalent of over 1000 large home computers working together or the capability for an individual to store 4,000 digital photographs every day for their lifetime.  

 

Professor of Genomics, Tony Bjourson, Director of the Northern Ireland Centre for Stratified Medicine at C-TRIC at Altnagelvin, and the Project Lead on the UU THRIVE City Deal project said: “We are delighted this crucial infrastructure is now set up, thanks to Seagate and Dell Technologies as without this data storage and IT capacity we could not undertake this work. We recently completed the recruitment of the 500 Covid19 patients for whole genome sequencing. It means reading the sequencing of the 3.2 billion chemical letters that make up each of our genomes.  This generates huge amounts of raw data that has to be stored to allow very advanced computational genomic analyses.

 

“This collaboration, which came about when Seagate and Dell Technologies responded to our call for assistance, offers a good example of how research transforms lives and how technology acts as a catalyst for innovation. We will pursue more of these kind of collaborations through the Derry and Strabane City Deal in the years ahead through data analytics via CARL and health innovation via THRIVE and of course industry partnerships such as this one will be key. For now, as our work during COVID-19 continues, we are so grateful to partners such as Seagate and Dell Technologies for coming together in this way.”

 

Jason Ward, Vice-President and Managing Director, Dell Technologies Ireland said: “We’re proud to build on our strong partnership with Ulster University through technology and expertise to help their researchers unlock insights into COVID-19 and uncover treatment options for those impacted by the virus. With the latest Dell Technologies storage systems and back-end infrastructure, the team at Ulster University will have immediate access to the data and applications needed to drive their research forward.”

 

Fergus O’Donnell, Plant Manager and Site Lead at Seagate said: “This collaboration involved a huge effort from the teams at Seagate, Dell Technologies and Ulster University working together to overcome the many logistical and organisational arrangements to help deliver a complete solution. It is important to support these advanced analytics capabilities which enable progress in this vital area of research and bring benefits for local and global communities”.  

How To Recognize Good Multi-Layered Protection Against Online Threats

Today’s online threats come in a variety of forms. They can be as mundane as a virus that attacks a particular program on your system. They can be as exotic as ransomware that locks all your information in return for money. Hackers and other malicious actors online target different parts of your computer system and Internet activity. Because of this, multilayered protection is a must.

What is multi-layered protection?

Multi-layered protection against online threats is essentially protecting your computer against Internet threats in all the forms they may take.

So you won’t only have the basic protection of your machine. You’ll get good quality Antivirus software to protect against threats. You’ll get good malware and spyware protection too and a firewall. You’ll protect your passwords. You’ll protect your credit card information by making sure your browser can recognize fake websites.

This way you are defended against multiple kinds of attacks

How To Recognize Good Multi-layered Protection

Good multi-layered protection will contain at least the following:

 

  • A firewall

 

  • Email encryption

 

  • Email Filtering

 

  • Data encryption

 

  • Mobile security

 

Firewall

A firewall is the first line of defence between your computer and online threats. Your firewall monitors the traffic between your computer and the Internet. Its job is to distinguish between harmless everyday activity and attempts to hack or infect your system. They come with varying levels of sophistication.

Email encryption/filtering

As the mainstay of global communications, emails are the subject of attacks. You can see why. Much sensitive information is contained in them and if they were intercepted and read, the contents could prove to be a goldmine to the wrong people.

Getting a system to encrypt your emails can prevent important information from being stolen this way. Encryption disguises the information in a way that makes it unreadable to someone who intercepts it.

You should also be able to tell whether an email has malicious links embedded in it designed to lead you to websites that will steal your information. This is why you also need an email filtering program. These will move suspicious emails to your junk folder.

Data encryption

In the event a hacker or malicious program gets past your firewall, encrypting your data is another layer of security you can add. Encrypting sensitive files means that even if the attack reaches your computer, the data will be unreadable.

Web content filter

This piece of software blocks sites that contain potentially malicious programs or where they can be downloaded. This is a good idea for business owners, whose employees surf the Internet while they are working, opening the company’s network to threats. If even one gets through, it can cost your company money and time in lost hours while the problem is repaired.

Mobile security

Because mobile phones these days are subject to the same threats as computers, they should be defended like computers. You use your mobile phone to do everything you would with your computer, so it holds a number of valuable pieces of information. There are apps that offer a suite of protection for mobile phones.

Taking the step of putting on layers on your online security is a smart and necessary one. Don’t be caught by malicious actors because you failed to do so.

Hospitality and other businesses with devices accessible to the public can take advantage of the free MiLockTM add-on, a Kiosk Launcher that prevents users from switching apps or accessing the device settings.

 

Complemented by Sibling Tablet Series

Enterprises looking for a total solution provider can combine the A500s series with 7″ tablets of the F740s tablet series and 10.1″ tablets of the L1000s series.

Nokia X20 arrives in Ireland #NokiaX20

HMD Global, the home of Nokia phones, has announced that the new Nokia X20 is available to buy in Ireland along with the launch of the new Irish website where customers can buy Nokia phones directly. The Nokia X20 is part of the refreshed Nokia smartphone portfolio unveiled last month. 

With one in two (55%) people worrying about how their constant mobile phone upgrading affects the environment and 48% concerned about the excessive electronic waste produced, Nokia phones are made and built to last the test of life with durability and longevity at their core. The new Nokia X20 has undergone over 50 rigorous tests, from force measurement to wear and scratch, as part of Nokia’s Standard Product Requirement tests. The assessments are known to be some of the most stringent in the industry and have been tried and tested over the years. In addition to durable design, Nokia X20 comes with an extended warranty of three years – exceeding the industry standard – and a free 100% compostable case. The case is designed to be tough on the ground but soft on the Earth, helping to make the X-series go the distance, instead of the landfill. 

In a recent survey[1] commissioned across 30 countries globally, it was revealed that ¾ of people want a phone that they can keep for longer with 79% of respondents admitting they would if the devices maintained their performance over time. The signature Nordic design is matched with three years of software updates, three years of monthly security updates for extra piece of mind. 

All new Nokia phones purchased to help plant one million trees. 
HMD Global, the home of Nokia phones, is delighted to announce its partnership with Ecologi, a climate action change company that helps to reduce corporate carbon footprints, funds climate-positive projects and responsibly plants trees. 

Buyers of the Nokia X20 will be given the gift of 20 planted trees via Ecologi. As a target milestone, HMD Global has committed to facilitating the planting of one million trees, amounting to 308,000 tonnes of carbon avoided over 25 years. The combined effort from customers will be equivalent to over 700 million miles driven in a car or 37,465,935,100 smartphones charged. 

The wall charger and headphones have been removed from the sales box, helping to tackle the 12,000 tonnes of e-waste[2] generated by mobile phone chargers in the EU.  

 
HMD has listened to its customers wants. 
The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted retail globally with a big shift to online shopping. A recent report from KMPG, found that 68% of Irish consumers do more online shopping now than before the pandemic, with 99% of Irish consumers saying that a good website is important to them. HMD has listened to its customers and in response has launched the new Nokia.com/phones Ireland website, offering guaranteed next day delivery nationwide, 30 days return, shipment from an Irish warehouse and exclusive offers. 

Speaking about the newly launched Irish website, Lisa Higgins UK Marketing Lead and Country Manager for Ireland says, ‘We are listening to our customers. We have seen how much they are shopping online, and we wanted to create a dedicated space especially for our Irish consumers, to shop with ease.” 

Pricing and availability 
The Nokia X20 is available in Ireland from Nokia.com/phones in Midnight Sun and Nordic Blue. The 8/128GB variant is exclusive to Nokia.com priced at €329.99.  The gift to plant 20 trees via Ecologi will be activated using your device IMEI code visiting https://www.nokia.com/phones/lets-plant-together

What Does The Future Hold For Online Gaming?

The gaming industry has seen huge changes in the last couple of years. But don’t think that it’s going to stop there. As gaming technology becomes more and more advanced, the industry will continue to change and grow. This guide will examine what the future holds for the gaming industry.  

 

More Platforms will Support Cryptocurrency

 

Cryptocurrency isn’t a flash in the pan. According to most experts, it’s going to continue to grow and become more widely accepted. That trend is definitely going to have an effect on the gaming industry. Gaming and cryptocurrency go hand-in-hand, so it’s likely that more platforms will support cryptocurrency. That means you could need to buy into Bitcoin to play. 

 

Video Games in the Olympics

 

This one might seem like a long shot, but it’s not as crazy as it sounds. With e-sports become increasingly popular, it’s not that far-fetched to say that they might eventually be incorporated into the Olympics. 40 years ago, it would have seemed crazy to include BMXing in the Olympics, but now it’s widely accepted. 

 

More Online Mobile Gaming

 

Smartphones are only going to get more powerful and more popular. That means mobile gaming is going to continue to get bigger. However, the future of mobile online gaming isn’t going to be two-dimensional games that you could play on a console 20 years ago. Mobile gaming will become so impressive that it could rival console and PC gaming. 

 

People Betting on E-Sports

 

People have always placed bets on sports. It makes the game more exciting and gives neutral spectators something to watch for. Therefore, it stands to reason that as e-sports become more popular, more people will place bets on them. In many ways, this will be similar to traditional sports betting. Many of the rules will be the same, and traditional sports betting advice will still be applicable. 

 

More Focus on VR Gaming

 

VR hasn’t caught on like many people thought it would. Just like 3D TVs didn’t become as popular as expected, the technology just wasn’t ready for the market to react in a big way. However, that doesn’t mean VR is not going to make a comeback. When technology catches up with gaming, VR could become a huge part of online gaming. 

 

More Professional Gamers

 

Professional gamers have the best jobs in the world. They get paid a lot of money to sit and play games all day. There are multiple ways to get into professional gaming, including testing new games, creating online content about the games, and playing in e-sports competitions. This industry will continue to grow, and it could become easier to get into professional gaming. However, it’s never going to be easy, simply because of the demand. 

 

More Responsible Gaming 

 

Online gaming comes with its own set of dangers. From online predators to physical conditions from sitting for too long, there is plenty that can go wrong. The future is likely to hold a world where responsible gaming is pushed even harder. This can only be a good thing for the gaming community.
