Now backup your #WhatsApp messages and images on Google Drive by @Tiwaash #Messenger #App

Ever wanted to keep a backup of your chats with friends or family on WhatsApp ??? Well if you really wanted to, there is a reason for you to be happy. The developers at WhatsApp have been hyper active in the past few days. They rolled out the voice calling feature earlier and now have given the users an option to back up their messages on Google Drive with the latest update.

Currently under testing WhatsApp now allows the users to backup and restore their conversation history and media to Google Drive. To activate Google Drive as a backup option, after installing the new updated version, users need to provide access to the Google account. Users can then select the frequency of backup and even whether the backup should be on Wi-Fi only or Wi-Fi and cellular networks. The service currently backs up only conversations and images, videos are not included.

Stay tuned for more tech buzz.

For now that’s a no. Down the road who knows.

The AppKettle – A Smart Kettle with vision. #Tech #Kickstarter #KitchenTech by @jimboireland

Ok so tech is becoming part of our lives more especially at home and not to long ago we seen something similar to today’s topic which is the humble kettle,its now got smart and it makes us that bit more lazy but we love it.last year we featured the iKettle,this time round its the AppKettle.

The Electric Kettle is quite simply the world’s most versatile beverage maker used by millions of people, every day. We use it to make our favourite hot drinks and share moments with our loved one’s, friends and colleagues, essentially the Kettle has the power to connect us.

“We are extremely passionate about technology, hot drinks, sharing and connecting moments together and that is why we created Appkettle to be:

Convenient, Timesaving, Useful, Beautiful and Simple for Everyone.”

Appkettle is the world’s first kettle with volume and temperature linked to your app in real-time. This allows you to interact, see and control Appkettle’s temperature, volume, timings and energy usage.

 

Who is the App Kettle for ?

  • Standard Home Platform – Appkettle works through WiFi and will be developed onto the Apple HomeKit platform and Android. This solution is efficient, safe and secure for enabling communication between multiple smart home products and the user.
  • Real-time User Interface – All users can see kettle usage, schedule and make selections through the appkettle app.
  • Cloud Based Architecture – It is our intention, on achieving the required stretch goal to integrate Appkettle’s functionality into a cloud system. This would support remote connection outside of WiFi connectivitiy and allow control through 3G/4G, dynamic multi-user and preference control, external connectivity, distance-time relationships and more..
  • You Save Time – According to Which? approximate statistics, Brits boil 1,378 times a year with the average kettle taking one minute and 27 seconds to boil (2 cups). Appkettle will help reduce 33 hours of waiting to near zero. More time for you to enjoy and with perfect tasting beverages.

Parents with kids

 

  • Set Feed Time – Pick any time, any day.
  • Scheduled Cool Down – Appkettle boils and cools for time selected.
  • Prepare Baby Bottle – On arrival make up a baby bottle
  • Finish – Quickly cool bottle under tap, check temp on wrist and feed

3 years in the Making.

Drink Timing and Control 

Appkettle’s smart scheduling enables you to set beverage types for any time in the day or night. It uses temperature and volume information to heat and allow for cooling as necessary to suit your drink requirements. The App then notifies you, keeps it warm or you can simply arrive at the kettle for the time selected.
