Dell unveils new XPS 13 Plus and new UltraSharp monitor. #CES2022

Dell Technologies today unveiled new products at CES 2022 across its XPS and display portfolios to help take collaboration and visual experiences to the next level.

The new XPS 13 Plus is the company’s most powerful device yet, with a sleek keyboard, function row, touch pad and palm rest delivering a clean, iconic appearance that is light to the touch and complemented by curved, comfy edges throughout.

Heightened senses for heightened creativity

Dell has enhanced both sight and sound in the new XPS 13 Plus. Its pioneering 4-sided InfinityEdge display continues to deliver a virtually borderless viewing experience and the company has reduced the number of layers from the display screen to improve clarity and reduce weight.

Designed with larger keycaps (also known as zero-lattice), the keyboard is comfortable, smooth and efficient with every keystroke. The top row of the keyboard is now cleaner, thanks to a new capacitive touch experience that allows you to switch between media and function keys easily.

The new XPS 13 Plus is the first XPS made using hydro-power renewable energy sources, significantly reducing the carbon footprint of the aluminium and is 100% recyclable so it can be reused in new PCs.

“It’s no coincidence the new XPS 13 Plus is our most powerful yet, considering it was inspired by Gen-Z, a group that knows who they are, where they want to go and demands the horsepower they need to get there,” said Donnie Oliphan, Senior Director of XPS, Dell Technologies. “Modern and stylish, yet approachable and efficient – simple and intentional are the new definition of premium. Redesigned from the ground up with more performance than ever before, the XPS 13 Plus makes it so you can do everything you love to do in style.”

Collaborative and Visual Experience

With collaboration tools critical for a digital world, Dell has continued to invest in the ecosystem around the PC. This includes the CES Innovation Award Honouree, the new Dell UltraSharp 32 4K Video Conferencing Monitor. Featuring category-defining UltraSharp Webcam, echo cancelling dual array microphones and 14W speakers, this monitor provides the best collaboration and visual experience possible, making it feel like you’re there in person.

Ground-breaking IPS Black technology and VESA DisplayHDR 400 lets you view content in greater detail with 4K resolution, contrast and colour – while ComfortView Plus reduces harmful blue-light emissions and retains colour accuracy.

Then there’s the video conferencing capabilities. The new UltraSharp is certified for Microsoft Teams and comes with privacy and productivity features – letting you easily come on and off mute, enable/disable the camera with SafeShutter and quickly sign-in and out.

Pricing and availability

  • XPS 13 Plus is available worldwide Spring 2022, with Windows 11 or Ubuntu 20.04 on the Developer Edition. Pricing to be confirmed nearer to shipping date.
  • Dell UltraSharp 32 4K Video Conferencing Monitor (U3223QZ) is available worldwide on March 29th. Pricing to be confirmed nearer to shipping date.

Newry Company Provides Testing for Launch of James Webb Telescope – Resonate Testing.

NEWRY company, Resonate Testing, the leading commercial test house on the island of Ireland, conducted high level vibration and SRS shock testing on equipment that was used as part of the successful launch of the James Webb telescope on Christmas Day.

The telescope, the largest, most powerful and complex telescope ever built, has been described as a “time machine” by scientists and will allow astronomers to study the beginning of the universe shortly after the big bang, 13.8 billion years ago, as well as hunting for signs of life-supporting planets in our own galaxy.

Resonate Testing worked with Dublin based Réaltra Space Systems Engineering, which played a critical role in the launch by providing video images of the separation of the fairings (equipment used to protect the spacecraft during launch), and the spacecraft from the rocket.

Réaltra Space Systems ensured that all products underwent a rigorous “qualification” test campaign, which validated that the design could survive the harsh environments of the launch and space with sufficient margin. The process included extensive testing by Resonate Testing’s experienced and knowledgeable team to ensure the tests were completed to the required space industry standards.

Speaking about the launch of the most ambitious robot probe ever built, the $10bn James Webb telescope, which was blasted into space on top of a giant European rocket, Managing Director of Resonate Testing, Tom Mallon, said “Christmas was extra special this year. As a company we were extremely proud to have played a part in the successful launch of the huge Ariane 5 launcher and the James Webb telescope from the European Space Agency’s station in French Guiana.

“We have been working with Realtra Space for some time, and in recent years we have been competing on a global level by exploiting key upstream resources and developing world-class space downstream capabilities.”

Resonate Testing operates from its Centre of Excellence for Space in Newry and provides a range of testing processes across many sectors. The company has seen an increasing number of tests within the Space Sector, which can be attributed to its ability to rapidly develop and approve new capabilities, following requests from customers – not just in the space sector, but across the many industries that they service. This demonstrates Resonate Testing’s exceptional engineering services as a tried and tested facilitator.

In 2020, the company was awarded Platinum in the Innovate NI Innovation Accreditation programme for its cutting-edge processes that seen the delivery of high-quality live stream testing to global customers, including Réaltra, throughout the global pandemic.

FREE NOW partners with Zipp Mobility to integrate micro-mobility services in app across Ireland

Leading multi-mobility app FREE NOW and Zipp Mobility (Zipp), a leading Irish micro-mobility operator have today announced that they are joining forces with aims to integrate Zipp’s eScooters and eBikes on the FREE NOW app this year. This partnership will enable passengers to book Zipp’s micro-mobility transport options via the FREE NOW app when Zipp rolls out its services across Ireland in 2022.

The announcement comes off the back of the recently announced Road Traffic & Roads Bill 2021 which will legalise eScooter use in public places as public demand grows for flexible and sustainable transport options. Indeed, recent research conducted by FREE NOW shows that 40% of its passengers plan to use eScooters like Zipp’s for everyday transport when they are made widely available in Irish cities this year, and three quarters think that Ireland needs more sustainable, electric transport options in line with other European countries.

Zipp, headquartered at NovaUCD, has already launched in the UK and mainland Europe and plans to launch both eBikes and eScooters across Ireland in 2022 along with beginning operations in Portugal and Spain.

FREE NOW’s partnership with Zipp and its partnership announcements in 2021 with other eScooter players are an extension of its successful European eScooter rollout to date, and highlights FREE NOW’s commitment to empower sustainable urban mobility solutions in Ireland.

Commenting on the partnership with Zipp, Niall Carson, General Manager of FREE NOW Ireland said: “We are delighted to partner with Irish micro-mobility operator Zipp and share common ambitions to change, and ultimately improve, the way people across Ireland approach daily transport. It’s a really exciting time for the industry now that legislation on e-scooters is in motion, and we look forward to having eScooters available on our app in 2022. We understand that our customers want to make more sustainable choices and having the option to book an eScooter or EV taxi facilitates this. Using FREE NOW allows you to choose the best means of transport for you and your specific journey on any given day. Some longer trips make more sense in a taxi and for others using an eScooter or eBike will be quicker! It’s all about convenience and giving our customers the choice.”

Charlie Gleeson, Founder and CEO, Zipp Mobility said, “We are thrilled to join the group of operators that are able to offer their micro-mobility services on the FREE NOW platform. At Zipp we understand that micro-mobility is not a ‘silver bullet’ solution to decarbonising transport so we must collaborate with platforms like FREE NOW to give our customers a full spectrum of sustainable transport options. This is the only way we can meaningfully reduce our reliance on the private car and get to net-zero emissions in transport.”

He added, “This year we hope to launch our eScooters and eBikes in cities across Ireland including Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Galway and this partnership will be a great asset to our users. Zipp was founded with Ireland in mind and we are so excited to bring our ethos of “mobility done right” to Irish cities during 2022.”

Adyen launches Android POS terminals

Adyen, the global payments platform of choice for many of the world’s leading companies, today announced the launch of mobile Android point of sale (POS) terminals in the EU, UK, and the United States. The devices represent a fundamental change in the role of the payment terminal, functioning as an all-in-one solution, eliminating the need for separate cash registers, barcode scanners, and customer facing displays.

Additionally, the terminals come with an app management system, allowing merchants to upload and manage the apps they use every day, for inventory management, loyalty programs, returns and more. The launch of these multi-purpose terminals will not only reduce the cost of their hardware, but also help businesses drastically improve in-person customer experiences.

Palisis, a provider of sales and operations solutions for tourism and transportation business, and Immfly, an in-flight digital services provider, are among Adyen’s first merchants to roll out the terminals.

“Consumers increasingly want to pay for products, tickets, or their meal where they are, without standing in lines. Existing mobile POS solutions typically involve multiple pieces of hardware. Our all-in-one Android terminals combine the flexibility of the Android platform with the security of a PCI certified payment terminal. They support a vast array of use cases, and both Immfly and Palisis are great examples of how they bring increased mobility and functionality to our merchants and their staff,” said Jan-Pieter Lips, Head of Unified Commerce at Adyen.

“Convenience is key in providing the best customer experiences, and these terminals help merchants meet that standard. Additionally, the use of these devices allows the merchants we work with to run a lean operational set-up, foregoing the need to install separate systems to make it all work.”

Want to Invest in Crypto? Here’s How to Start

Cryptocurrency investing is a rapidly growing industry. The amount of interest in investing in cryptocurrency has increased exponentially over the last few years and it doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon. In this blog post, you’ll learn some of the key steps that you need to take when investing in crypto for the first time!

Do A Lot Of Research 

Investing in anything takes a lot of research and learning, and the same goes for crypto. Professionals are aware that without proper research, it can be easy to get lost in the crypto world. It is important that you arm yourself with all of the necessary information before investing your hard-earned money.

One of the best ways to learn is by starting with the basics. What is crypto? How does it work? What are the different types of currencies and tokens? Once you have a general understanding of all that crypto has to offer, you can start doing your own research into which currencies or tokens might be a good investment for you. You can learn more on truecodecapital.com and similar trusted websites that offer comprehensive guides and resources on crypto investing.

When doing your own research, make sure that you’re getting information from reputable sources. There are a lot of scams out there in the world of crypto, so it’s important to be careful about who you trust. That’s why the professionals working at hedgewithcrypto.com only recommend trustworthy and reliable sources when it comes to investing in crypto. 

Know All Your Options 

Nowadays, there are a lot of types of crypto investments to choose from. You can buy crypto assets, invest in crypto funds, or even bet on the future of specific cryptocurrencies. Before you begin investing in crypto, it’s important that you know all your options and what each one entails. That way, you can make an informed decision about which type of investment is right for you. You could also look to buy USDT

The market changes quickly, so knowing what is happening today can help you understand how to invest tomorrow. Something that’s that hot today, may not be in the future. Make sure to see how the market behaves with the news. 

Here are some of the most common types of crypto investments: 

 

  • Buying Crypto Assets: When you buy a crypto asset, you’re purchasing a specific currency or token. These usually have their own blockchain and can be used to purchase items in the real world. 
  • Investing in Crypto Funds: Instead of buying individual cryptocurrencies, it’s possible to invest in a fund that holds multiple cryptos. This is a more diversified option and can help reduce your risk. 
  • Betting on Cryptocurrencies: Another way to invest in a crypto is by betting on its future value. There are various platforms where you can do this, and it is a more risky investment but can pay off.
  • Investing in Blockchain Companies: Another way to invest is by investing in a blockchain company that has products or services related to cryptocurrencies. 

Follow The News From Day-to-day 

You have to stay informed in order to invest in crypto. Keep following the news and don’t forget that you need to make your own decisions; it’s very important not to follow others blindly. You can also use a number of tools or websites available online which are designed for following what is going on in the market at any given moment, but this isn’t always particularly useful because these sites are largely speculative themselves. 

You should try to get as much information from different sources so consider following several newsletters related to cryptocurrency trading. This way, you’ll have more knowledge about each currency out there without being limited by only one newsletter writer who might present just their point-of-view instead of giving enough facts for someone else’s decision-making process. Moreover, be aware of fake news and hypes,

Keep reading about blockchain technology because you need to understand the basics of cryptocurrency before making any investment decision. You should also consider following people who have already made successful investments so learn from their experience instead of spending time reinventing the wheel by yourself.

Start Small 

The smartest decision you can do is to start small when you want to invest in crypto. This will help limit your losses if the market takes a turn for the worse, and it also gives you time to learn about the market and different cryptocurrencies. 

You don’t need a lot of money to start investing in crypto. In fact, many people start with just $100 or less. There are plenty of options available for starting small, including exchanges like Coinbase and Robinhood that allow you to buy fractions of a coin. You can also invest in mutual funds or exchange-traded funds that hold cryptocurrency assets. 

If you have more money to invest, there are other options available as well. 

It’s Smarter To Invest In Multiple Ones

Diversifying crypto investments is easier than investing in a single currency. First, you need to decide whether you should invest at all and how much money to put into it.

Next, you need to decide on the number of cryptocurrencies that will form your portfolio. There are different opinions as to how many cryptos one should buy and hold in their portfolios at any given time. The most common practice is investing in a maximum of five cryptos. 

Once this limit has been reached, it may be wise to invest some money into fiat currencies again or consider investing additional funds into the same currencies if the market shows signs of recovery after a slump or dip.

Stay Patient 

One of the most important things you need to remember when you’re investing in crypto is to stay patient. It can be tempting to buy into the latest coin as soon as it hits exchanges, but that’s often not the best strategy.

Many of the most successful investors are those who take a long-term view and don’t get caught up in short-term speculation. So if you want to invest in crypto, remember to stay patient and do your research before making any decisions.

There are plenty of resources available online that can help you make informed decisions about which coins to invest in. And remember, never invest more than you can afford to lose. With patience and due diligence, you can start investing in crypto today and see great returns down the road.

 

Investing in crypto is a lucrative hobby if done right. Make sure to do a lot of research and be sure to know all your different options. Keep yourself informed with reliable sources and make sure to start small without going over your head. It’s smart to invest in multiple ones at once and make sure to stay patient. Good luck making a fortune!
