Newest BMW customization solution on the market: the OBDeleven BMW application

Have you ever looked for an easy-to-use solution to diagnose and customise your BMW? With the recently launched OBDeleven BMW application, you can close your search tabs and use the small Bluetooth device to take your BMW, MINI, or Rolls-Royce to the next level with the latest solution on the market.

While the drivers of cars built by either of the manufacturers have long enjoyed various aftermarket solutions for their vehicles, the software-based changes you can make with OBDeleven are easily usable by every driver with pre-made coding functions. Furthermore, the dealership-level diagnostic capabilities of the device will allow you to save money on expensive trips to a workshop or the dealership.

The BMW application is a continuation of OBDeleven’s Volkswagen Group (VAG)-focused solution, which was first launched in 2014. Much like the new solution, the VAG application has allowed Volkswagen, Audi, Seat, Cupra, Škoda, Bentley, and Lamborghini drivers to diagnose and customise their vehicles on their smartphones.

BMW coding done for you

A perfect example of how even daily drivers can use OBDeleven to customise their BMW, or any other vehicle is the feature called One-Click Apps. These pre-made coding functions help users enable hidden features, as well as enable or disable various other features on your car. 

For example, if you want to enable Video in Motion on your 3-series BMW for the passenger to watch while the car is moving, there is a One-Click App for that. Much like you can enable the iDrive startup animation when the head unit is turning on the NBT EVO Navigation system (S609A). You can also further “sportify” your dashboard by enabling Sport Displays on the G21, which will showcase the real-time numbers of kilowatts and torque on the head unit. 

These features and more can be enabled or disabled instantly with One-Click Apps, as they have been prepared and coded by the development team at OBDeleven. Thus, no programming knowledge is required from the users’ side, enabling daily drivers to customize their BMW, MINI, or Rolls-Royce cars.

Diagnostic or scanning tool

Another feature that OBDeleven offers to its community is easily accessible dealership-level diagnostics. Eliminating the need for heavy and uncomfortable equipment, the small Bluetooth device provides all the information you would need to determine an issue following a warning light on the dashboard. 

Even if there is no critical fault, which would be displayed on the dashboard, a full scan can reveal any potential issues you might have that could turn critical sooner rather than later.  

The full scan procedure goes through all the control units, such as the engine, gearbox, braking system, electronics, and others, looking over whether there are any fault codes present. If there are, you will be able to read about the fault and receive the exact code, which will help you find out more about the issue and what kind of parts you would need to investigate to alleviate the issue. 

Information about all your connected vehicles 

If you have a few cars in your family garage, the Garage function will show all the cars that you have connected to your account via the OBDeleven device, as well as showcasing the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).

When you enter the Garage tab on the OBDeleven app, you can see the series and the model of the car you have plugged the OBD-II device in, as well as the VIN, the year or the year range when the vehicle was built, as well as information about the control units present on the automobile. You can also view all of the One-Click Apps that are potentially available on it – including those that might not be available on your exact car due to the differences in equipped control units – allowing you to view the potential modifications you can do to your car once you plug in the device into the OBD-II port. 

So, if you are looking to customise or diagnose your car without any difficulty, check out the full features list and give OBDeleven a try.

The best TV for watching sport: 2022 edition

The world cup is just around the corner, so what better time is there to buy the perfect smart TV to experience that pitch-side feel in your own home? 2022 has been a great year for televisions, but it’s tough to know much much you need to spend to get that next-level watching experience for your home.

Knowing the best 65-inch TVs UK wide, from OLED, QLED or standard LED is rarely simple to decipher, especially with so many options to choose from, so we’ve taken the hassle out of that job and chosen our three favourite TVs this year for enjoying your favourite sports in style.

Samsung BU8070 4K Crystal UHD Smart TV 

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Crystal-UHD-Smart-Built/dp/B0B1VC85Y8/

At the much more affordable end of the TV spectrum, Samsung has knocked it out of the park in terms of value with the BU8070, which is simply perfect for catching up on your favourite sports this year.

Despite the second-to-none 3D surround sound with Object Tracking for full immersion, the most exciting feature of Samsung’s BU8070 is quite easily its excellent Crystal Processor, which precisely upscales live sports (or whatever else your watching) in real-time. That means there’s no blurring, no dull, low-quality playback, just sheer quality without fault.

All-in-all, we can’t fault this television, and at its price, it’s an absolute screamer.

 

Samsung Q60B QLED 4K Smart TV 

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Inch-Q60B-QLED-Smart/dp/B09VH47GPX/

Samsung is well-known for making the most gorgeous displays at competitive prices, and the Q60B is no exception. Unlike our previous pick, this display harnesses the power of QLED technology, where nanocrystals are used to create a huge range of over a billion colours, all on one screen.

The result? Anything you watch, be it sports, films, shows, games – they all pop off the screen with proper true depth and vividness that can’t be topped.

Samsung rarely skimp out on great sound either, and the Q60B has that all-important Object Tracking built in, so the sounds of the stadium come alive, without the need for surround sound.

 

LG OLED C2 65” 4K Smart TV 

https://www.amazon.co.uk/LG-OLED-C2-55-Smart/dp/B09W65BR8S/

Our final pick is easily our most expensive, but it’s also one of the best TVs of the year. LG’s C2 is an OLED TV, which unlike QLED tech, doesn’t use a backlight. The result? It’s got some of the best performance in any commercially available TV display ever made. Rapid response times, ultra-low input lag, and insane refresh rates mean that you’re never behind the action when you’re watching football, you’ll experience the action as its happening, no delay whatsoever.

And the display itself? It’s nothing short of stunning – the slick high contrast look of a proper OLED screen is simply beautiful, and puts any regular TV display to absolute shame.

Remote workers cause surge in hacking! Tips on how to use Wi-Fi

It’s not uncommon for organizations to have employees that travel to different locations whether it’s to visit customers or different offices, especially with the rise in remote working and remote co-working spaces.

When these employees travel or work outside of the office network, they often connect to public Wi-Fi hotspots which could be creating a ‘massive surge’ in hacking crimes according to web filtering platform Titan HQ.

Providing users with remote access to the corporate network can help improve employee productivity, but it introduces a high level of cybersecurity risk with a chance an attacker could also gain remote access. However, this is far from the only danger when it comes to public Wi-Fi as hackers can also easily target individuals and their information with ease when connecting to public Wi-Fi.

When it comes to public Wi-Fi, the most likely threat is a common hacker or scammer attempting to steal a user’s information for profit. Attackers are often after personal details such as your name, address, financial information or social security numbers. There is also the potential for blackmail if an attacker finds compromising documents or images on your device.

As you peruse your favorite social media site, access your email, and check to see if a financial transaction cleared your online bank account, a hacker could easily capture all of your login credentials and data. So what is the most dangerous word or phrase when it comes to Wi-Fi?

“Free Wi-Fi”

As a result of the rise, in the US, the FBI and the Federal Trade Commission have all urged caution when using free Wi-Fi and be mindful of the security risks. Other organizations such as the AARP have cautioned its members that “Free public wireless networks may come at a steep price – the theft of your finances and identity.”

Free WiFi is everywhere these days, giving us the ability to work remotely in coffee shops and restaurants. It’s very convenient but potentially unsafe. Connecting to a public Wi-Fi network requires little authentication – at best you’ll be greeted by a captive portal and have to check a box agreeing to the terms of service.  Anyone can connect to these networks, including cyber criminals.

The presence of any of these factors can contribute to an insecure environment, in which hackers can easily target unsuspecting users who are oblivious to their potential jeopardy.  Some of the most common threats include the following:

  • Stealing your password or personal information within a non-encrypted connection or through a rogue access point
  • Session hijacking so that a hacker can browse a site using your own online account
  • Obtaining information on your computer by directly accessing your computer
  • Downloading malware and viruses that can then conduct their malicious task

On public Wi-Fi, there are many ways scammers can use to get to you. Here are some of the most common:

Man In The Middle attacks

These attacks are one of the most common while using public Wi-Fi. A hacker captures the data you are sending. Most hackers who use this method exploit flaws in apps or websites that allow them view the information being passed. The information can include bank details, passwords, personal identification information, and other data that could be used for identity theft. The most common type of MITM attacks is those that occur over unencrypted and unsecured Wi-Fi networks.

The easiest way for an attacker to exploit public WiFi is to position himself between clients and the router. A man-in-the-middle attack is like eavesdropping where an attacker can get in-between points A and B and intercept data. Sometimes this data can be modified in the process of transmission to trick the victim into disclosing sensitive information, such as login credentials. The victim will likely never notice anything is amiss. Once the user falls for the deception, the data is collected.

Fake Hotspots.

Not all public hotspots are legitimate. Attackers create “free” WiFi networks (often called evil twin hotspots) in an attempt to lure in unsuspecting users. When you connect to such a network, you give criminals an opportunity to monitor all your data. All an attacker has to do is find a high-traffic location and set up a fake network with a legitimate sounding name like ‘Hotel Wi-Fi.” By the time the attack is uncovered or authorities have isolated the source of the signal, the attacker has moved on – with the stolen user credentials.

The whole experience is transparent to the victim. Most of the time the hacker allows the victims to reach their intended Internet destinations while they secretly eavesdrop on the network traffic so that they can steal the information from the victims as the victims attempt to log in to their e-mail, provide credit card numbers while shopping online, etc. Avoid using open Wi-Fi hotspots – always ensure they’re secured and that a password is required to access them.

Wireless “sniffing.”

This is a practice where your data is observed, intercepted, and interpreted. It helps experts to diagnose any problems on the network. In the wrong hands, it can be used to monitor and collect data from unsuspecting victims.

Common Tools used by Wi-Fi attackers

While many sites are switching to Secure Socket Layer (SSL) which provides end-to-end encryption, there are various ways an attacker can circumvent this. One example is an SSLstrip, a tool that transparently hijacks HTTP traffic on a network.

This lets security managers assess the risk level of a network with the push of a button but it can also make it easy for attackers to scan public WiFi networks and find vulnerable devices – including yours.

“It doesn’t take long for a determined hacker to crack an unprotected  wifi network. For would be hackers, there are a multitude of websites that promise to help you crack wi-fi passwords in two minutes. Many others provide significant detail on wireless hacking tools’ Ronan Kavanagh  from TitanHQ said.

“This does not mean that you should never utilize public Wi-Fi. It just means you should take precautions. If you wouldn’t verbally give out your password in a crowded coffee shop then you should see a wireless hotspot as being full of prying ears as well as everyone shares the same wireless access point. In a sense, it is one big conversation.”

How To Stay Safe on Public Wi-Fi:

1. Check the Terms and Conditions.

In your desire to get some free internet, it can be quite tempting to click through any terms and conditions that pop up on your screen. However, you should be careful about what you sign up for in public. A huge amount of free public Wi-Fi also takes something from you. These firms will give you some bandwidth as long as you agree to give them your email address and a phone number for instance. Try to find time to read before agreeing.

2. Stick to Advertised Wi-Fi Networks.

Just because you see free Wi-Fi pop up on your screen does not mean you must connect to it. Hackers are known to set up free Wi-Fi that they use to mine data from unsuspecting individuals. If you see open Wi-Fi that is not advertised publicly, you will have to think twice about using it.

3. Only Visit Secure Sites on Wi-Fi.

The green padlock at the top left corner of your browser shows you that you are connecting to a secure site. This sign is even more important when you are relying on free Wi-Fi. Think hard before doing anything important when on free Wi-Fi. For instance, avoid making any credit card transactions on public Wi-Fi. Additionally, it is best to use a mobile browser rather than an app when on public Wi-Fi. Mobile browsers are better at checking the security of sites than apps.

4. Switch Off Sharing.

When your device is connected to the Internet in a public area, you will not want to share anything. You can turn off sharing in the Control Panel depending on the OS you use. You may also opt to have your OS do it for you by choosing “Public” the first time you connect to a public network.

5. Switch Off Wi-Fi Capabilities in Public.

Even when you are not actively connected to any Wi-Fi network, your computer hardware can still transmit data to any network that is in range. There are measures in place to keep such networks from getting in touch with you. However, hackers can be quite smart, and they can get into your laptop. Besides that, switching off Wi-Fi settings allows you to extend the battery life of your device.

Other Useful Tips.

Avoid downloading anything when using public Wi-Fi. Additionally, always ensure that the OS and all other software are always up to date. Although your device automatically manages your connection when you are on public Wi-Fi, it is always best to double-check. When you are done with Wi-Fi, always forget the network. That way, you can reduce the security risk to your device. Additionally, make simple choices like using different passwords for each app.

  • Always ask the establishment what the name of the official hotspot is.  This will prevent you from making incorrect assumptions and choose a malicious hotspot.
  • Disable the “auto connect” or “auto-join” functions for saved hotspots for all of your wireless devices, which is good advice in general.

The Ultimate Guide to Cell Phone Signal Boosters

In current times the population of Earth depends on their mobile phones for daily communication and day-to-day business. Hence, reliability on a strong Internet connection is at stake for different users with various purposes. Generally, the cell phone contact, be it at home or in the office, has poor connection. 

The solution to the described problem is a signal booster which can allow people to continue using their phones in all areas in spite of coverage. If you are on the search for the best service, then you need to boost the giffgaff mobile coverage to receive the utmost mobile quality network, persistent data connection for any kinds of tasks and goals. 

General understanding of a signal booster 

A signal booster, known as a cell phone booster, is a special device that enhances weak cellular signals which are usually used by cell phones, smartphones, tablets, even hotspots and cellular-connected devices. 

By increasing the already existing cell signal, a booster helps to:

  • Reduce dropped signals
  • Improve voice quality
  • Lessen glitches with phone calls
  • Increase data speed 

Regardless of the network carries, there were situations when every user experienced weak cell signal at least once. 

It is worth mentioning that signal boosters amplify the signal which is already available. Broadly speaking, boosters can improve signal only by using transmissions, not by creating new signals. As practice shows, dead zones lack any kind of transmission. However, there are other factors which make cell signals unreliable. Here is the list of primary factors:

  • Buildings which impede the cell signals passing through concrete, metal, energy-efficient windows and others. 
  • Vehicles, which are made up of metal and safety glass, the outer shell of any vehicle, block any cell signals. 
  • Distance, the further one moves away from the cell tower the weaker the signal gets. 
  • Terrain, such as rocks, hills, mountains, which can be located near a cell tower can potentially prevent a cell signal. 

 

Therefore, if in the area of your accomodation there is no coverage for the network then the booster will not do the work. On the other hand, occasionally, such devices may enhance weak signals when the coverage is sparse and spotty then there is a high probability that booster installment will provide users with a signal. 

The question may arise on whether signal boosters work in rural or remote areas. Yes, it may work in off the beaten track locations and rural areas, however, it is recommended to use the strongest booster within the home or vehicle category to achieve the best possible results. 

Tricks to get a better cell phone signal 

As mentioned earlier, not everyone has a great signal on their location and as a matter of fact physical obstacles usually affect cell signal strength by often simply blocking it. 

1. Move to a different location in your home 

First and foremost, cellular coverage may be uneven inside your home. In some rooms there may be a better signal because of the direction of a carrier tower, or large trees on the property hinder the signal. Connectivity may improve depending on where the person is. So, think about putting a cell signal on the stronger part of the house. 

2. Do not block the antenna 

Try removing your cell phone case since most smartphones tuck the antenna inside of the phone and dull antenna’s activity is unable to receive and transmit RF signals. 

3. Check your phones performance 

From time to time, the root of the problem can be with the actual mobile device. You need to make sure that your cell phone’s performance is performing at its best with a full battery and the most recent software updates. Traditionally, older phone models do not have recent updates or strong networks. 

4. Remove possible obstructions 

It may not change the situation drastically, however, taking away some metal constructions, surfaces or elements may no longer distance the user from the faster signal. It is an easy concept to grasp, the less obstructions there are the better the signal will be. 

5. Evaluate cell phone signal 

Various websites and applications can help users find towers and get general reading on the user’s cell phone signal. It is necessary to find field test mode which can give an exact reading for the specific device at the specific moment.  

6. Consider a new carrier 

If previous recommendations fail, you may consider switching the carrier and start a new plan with a new carrier which proves to be more reliable and provides decent cellular coverage for personal needs of a user. 

7. Cell phone signal booster

Choosing a proper signal booster can be an important point to consider as well. As a rule of the thumb, signal boosters are carrier agnostic and can support different carriers. However, should there be a problem with a carrier, consider choosing a new one. 

Cell phone boosters often use an antenna to receive a signal and amplify it to give users a strong connection in general. Cell phone signal boosters consist of 3 components:

  • An outdoor antenna, which is mounted on the roof of one’s home. Such a type of antenna is powerful enough to get even weak signals that are not detected by smartphones. 
  • A booster unit which receives the signal from an outdoor antenna and amplifies it into a dependable signal that is used by indoor devices. 
  • An indoor antenna, which takes the received boosted cellular signal and distributes it evenly through the house to provide more connectivity. 

Conclusion

This guide is supposed to provide you with fundamental information about signal boosters and how to create good access to the Internet. If you ever wonder how to boost a cell phone signal at home, turn to UCtel who offer solutions for any individual case and can even improve signal for mobile operators if necessary. Giffgaff, known as a large MVNO (mobile virtual network operator), mobile coverage has flexible deals to offer, like unlimited data plans, and most importantly provides great coverage throughout the UK and Europe.

Implementing Blockchain technology in the oil and gas industry!

It has already been years since blockchain’s implementation in the oil and gas industry was considered. But, it is not being done because of the drawbacks that the companies see in implementing blockchain. But, for complete clear information, we would like to tell you that the oil and gas industry will not face any drawbacks after successfully implementing the Blockchain technology. The blockchain has been there for a decade and is successfully used in the cryptocurrency industry. Apart from this, many other industries in the world are accepting Blockchain technology with open hands and getting a lot of advantages. For the blockchain, the oil and gas industry is another area where it has to change everything, but the oil and gas industry will have to accept it first. Before you start your Oil trading journey, consider the Pros and Cons Of Oil Trading.

Therefore, significant technological requirements are there in the oil and gas industry. However, one of the significant reasons the oil and gas industry is deprived of this kind of technological development is that the industry is not yet ready. Yes, not everyone but a few players in the industry are not implementing this technology, and therefore, they face the same consequences. But, implementing blockchain will change everything for the oil and gas industry, and therefore, it has to be done at the earliest possible time. Therefore, we will explain to you some of the most important areas where blockchain implementation can take place in the oil and gas industry for information.

Different areas for changes

It is undoubtedly a matter of fact that implementing the new technology will not be easy for the oil and gas industry. It has remained the same for years; therefore, suddenly bringing about the change will create a chaotic environment. Therefore, the implementation should be done very slowly and correctly. With the proper steps, everyone will find it easier to adopt the new technology, but it will take some time. Therefore, the implementation must be done correctly, and the areas where it will work out are given below.

  1. Money management is a particular area where Blockchain technology can do wonders in the oil and gas industry. Yes, money management has been done with the traditional bookkeeping techniques in the oil and gas industry for years. But, apart from that, record keeping can be done with much safety. This is something which is going to allow the companies to focus on many vital areas like increasing trade and increasing profits.
  2. Another very crucial area where the implementation of blockchain into the oil and gas industry can take place is security. Yes, security is crucial for almost every industry, and oil and gas are no different. By implementing blockchain, much more security will be provided to the money and records of the blockchain in the oil and gas industry. When the records are kept safer, the oil and gas industry participants have nothing to worry about. Moreover, the companies raising the capital with the help of blockchain will be able to keep the people’s data safe and secure for a longer duration. It will infuse the trust of the people in those companies, and therefore, it will be easier for them to function.
  3. The help of blockchain will implement simple and sophisticated procedures for everything in oil and gas. Companies facing many challenges with the new things they bring about in the company will do it much more quickly. Yes, you will be surprised to see that the oil and gas industry is no different from every other industry and that complications are part of it. The use of blockchain will eliminate these complications, and therefore, things will be much easier and more sophisticated for every participant. There will be a much easier sophisticated manner in which the task will be accomplished in oil and gas by using blockchain.

More information

Oil and gas are no different from any other industry in the world; therefore, it also requires technological developments from time to time. The oil and gas industry will change completely with the help of blockchain, but this will happen after years. It is because all the companies will take some time to implement this new technology, which is why it will take years to bring about the revolution. But, it will indeed happen, and we will be here to witness it. We will see the oil industry becoming much easier to access for everyone for trading and other purposes in the future.

What is a digital wallet solution?

What is a digital wallet solution?

A digital wallet is a software-based system that enables users to make electronic payments. Apart from this basic function, wallets introduce a versatile functionality for retail banking and crypto management in general. It allows P2P and international payments via the Visa and Mastercard gateways. They also are a part of the loyalty platforms, introducing gift cards, credits, and options. 

Some digital wallets are designed to work with specific retailers or payment processors, while others are more general purpose. Most of the heavily prosecuted wallets for enterprise businesses are of custom design. But small businesses and startups mostly look into low-code modules products that are more affordable. 

 

What types of digital wallets are there?

Mobile wallets: These are apps that you can download onto your smartphone. They allow you to store your card information and make payments directly from your phone.

  1. Online wallets: These are websites that allow you to store your card information and make payments online. Most crypto exchanges work this way too. 
  2. Hardware wallets: These are physical devices that you can use to store your card information and make payments offline. Think about the POS terminals and kiosks as an example.

How does a digital wallet solution work?

A digital wallet is a solution that allows you to store your payment information electronically. This can include your credit and debit card information, as well as loyalty cards and other membership numbers. The core of the solution is the automated multi-asset layer that collects and records the transactions while checking the clients’ credentials for transaction processing. Some companies offer disintegrated solutions that work on a blockchain architecture. However, for e-commerce and payment-focused platforms, decentralized functionality is more than excessive. 

There are several benefits to using a digital wallet. First, it can help you keep track of your spending more easily. You can also use it to make payments more quickly and securely. Additionally, some digital wallets allow you to store loyalty points or rewards, which can be redeemed for discounts or other perks.

How can you use a digital wallet for your business?

There are many advantages of using a digital wallet for businesses. Perhaps the most obvious advantage is that it can store client information and data on transactions in one place. With a digital wallet, your clients can quickly and easily make payments without having to fumble around with cash or cards. This can be a huge time-saver, especially if you’re making multiple payments in a short period.

Using a digital wallet can also help increase security when making payments. When your clients use cash or cards, there is always the risk that they could be lost or stolen. However, with a digital wallet, the payment information is stored securely on the device, so there is no risk of losing it or having it stolen. That makes business comfortable and directly influences the retention rate for different cohorts of clients. Look into our digital wallet solution to open new options in business development.
