Tech Review – HUION Inspiroy Dial 2 ( Model Q630M)

The HUION Inspiroy Dial 2  professional-grade drawing tablet with and slim design with 6 buttons which can be configured and 2 dials. The two dials can be set to cycle between three different controls (scroll, zoom, and brush size) by pressing the dial. The texture of the tablet is similar to paper without the rubber feeling you might expect.

Accessories

 

Setup and use:

The setup is standard in terms of plugging in the USB cable to the laptop and downloading software from the website with the supplier user guide giving clear instructions. Alternatively, this can be connected via Bluetooth 5.0 with a range of 10 meters. The Bluetooth while good to have seems impractical as to use the drawing tablet required the use of a monitor to view the work.

The supplied software allows the configuration of the dual dial controllers and supports the quick-access Windows Radial Menu. These can be programmed with a  menu of options in terms of Zooming in or out, changing the brush size,  scrolling through the pages, adjusting the volume and my favourite  – Undo.

The software allows the configuration to allow for “Left hand / right hand “  use,  & the monitor to use as a selected area,  if using dual monitors

The tablet came with a pen that is responsive and accurate, making it easy to create detailed and intricate drawings. The holder stores 5 standard pen nibs and 5 felt pen nibs made of fibre, the latter of which can provide a greater level of resistance, thus making you feel like you are drawing with a traditional pen.

Warranty  This came with a two-year warranty,

Conclusion 

The HUION Inspiroy Dial 2   is solid, slim and lightweight  ( 10.5 x6.5″active area is ideal. 0.3″ ultra-thin design) while does not come with a travel case if moving in a laptop bag etc, the drawing tablet allows a multitude of configurations in terms of the 2 dials and 6 buttons which can be configured via the supplied software. The setup in terms of the mechanics is standard with no latency noticed in the pen use. Once set up this works but required a lot of practice to allow drawing on the tablet while viewing a separate monitor to see where the pen is located.

The drawing tablet does have coordinated listed when the pen is located and is compatible with Windows. Mac, chrome, Linus, and Android allow for a  versatile experience  with 18 hours of battery  life if used via Bluetooth, this can be used with  most  creative software like Adobe Photoshop, Clip Studio Paint, SAI, Lightroom, Affinity Designer, ZBrush, etc

Overall a response drawing tablet with a multitude of configuration options with a pen-like feel of a standard pen used with an array of options to provide a delightful drawing experience.

Fairphone gives a fond farewell to its 7-year-old Fairphone 2

Fairphone, the Dutch social enterprise building a market for ethical smartphones, has announced that after an unprecedented over seven years of support, Fairphone 2 has reached the end of its life. The software update for Android 10 releasing today will be its final update. However, certain spare parts for Fairphone 2 will still be available as long as supplies last or as long as there are a reasonable amount of active users. Fairphone 2 was the world’s first modular smartphone on the market, a revolutionary concept for the electronics industry. In total, around 115,000 Fairphone 2s were sold and there are now around 15,000 still in use. Producing the first modular phone presented new challenges for Fairphone, both in the supply chain and software longevity.

Fairphone has had to work with chipsets that no longer support the latest software to keep Fairphone 2 going for as long as possible. Against all odds and with the help of many dedicated Fairphone and open source community members, the company was able to overcome software challenges to provide Fairphone 2 users with continued software updates, effectively using a DIY style to keep the device going for longer. Fairphone 2 launched with Android 5 and was subsequently upgraded to Android 6, Android 7.1, Android 9 and most recently Android 10. It is one of the few devices from 2015 to have received an upgrade to Android 9 and 10.  Fairphone provided users with a total of 43 software updates throughout Fairphone 2’s lifetime.

Fairphone has embraced open source software since its founding, working closely with open source communities. The open source community is crucial to allowing Fairphones to run securely for longer, even after the official end of software support. They helped Fairphone complete the last Android upgrades but also to provide alternative software available for its users. Today, users can now install OSes such as LineageOS or /e/OS available on Android 11 for Fairphone 2. Fairphone’s ambition is to bring more fairness to the electronics industry for both hardware and software.

Agnes Crepet, Head of Software Longevity at Fairphone, states:

“When we first launched Fairphone 2, our software team had the ambition to support the phone for three to five years. We didn’t know we would achieve our goal (and more) because it was an industry first. We are proud to have gone above and beyond our initial ambitions for Fairphone 2. The end of life for Fairphone 2 is bittersweet because in the ideal world, we’d support our devices indefinitely, but due to industry and financial constraints, that is simply not feasible. But we are happy we can say we supported Fairphone 2 for an unprecedented seven years.”

For more information on what this means for Fairphone 2 users, please read the blog post here.

How to Get Started in Warzone 2?

Call of Duty Warzone 2.0 from the house of Activision has emerged as one of the most prevalent online multiplayer games that countless players play. This game is live with the new map of Al Mazrah, and at times, scoring wins in this game turns into an actual struggle for players. However, players can always follow the below-mentioned tips for emerging victorious.

Players can adjust their game settings

Every player can improve his odds by ensuring that he has utilized the finest settings and it comprises altering the setting “Apply all.” It equips players with all armor plates, and due to this, they can save time. There are some extra movement settings, too, that assist players when they play Warzone 2. Players also learn how to cheat in Warzone 2022. When they equip themselves with the hacks and cheats of Warzone 2, they can get through every challenge they come across. 

Develop custom weapon loadouts

When players play Warzone 2.0, they get access to various ways in which they can score their custom weapons at the time of a match having loadout drops. Players come across many attachments and weapons; hence, at times, they find it overwhelming to choose one among them.

Communicate and utilize the Ping system

While playing Warzone 2.0, communication turns into the key. No matter whether a player is playing in trios, duos, or quads, he must keep on communicating with his teammates, and for this, he can utilize a mic. Again, he can also utilize the Ping system of this game. It allows players to ping closer-by vehicles, enemies, points of interest, etc. Players use the Ping system when they need help or when they recommend regrouping.

Remain conscious of the map

Players ought to be aware of the map of Warzone 2.0. Again, they must be conscious of the revised circle mechanics too. With the shrinking of the map, the circle gets divided into three little circles, and they merge into a final circle. Hence, players should keep an eye on where circles split and where they have been moving. This way, they will not become engulfed in the gas.

Visit Strongholds

When players wish to take on challenges, they must visit the locations of Stronghold. They are all Artificial Intelligence-shielded buildings that propose a loadout drop reward and high-tier loot. It can turn into an excellent way to receive some loot while playing Warzone 2.0.

Choose Contracts

Contracts always turn into great ways through which players can score cash and loot. Players can see them as green phone icons. They can choose among some common types, such as Secure Intel, Most Wanted, Safecracker, and Bounty. However, players should be aware of the benefits and risks so that they can recognize the one that would be best for them.

Bounties

Bounties are a prevalent choice for countless players. The radius of these circles becomes smaller when players get nearer to them. It is useful as it allows players to know how close a player is, and it also gives them modest cash.

Secure Intel

The job of Secure Intel is to mark intel for players to choose and shift it to somewhere else. The Secure Intel Contracts need players to remain confined in a specific location when data uploads, and it can put players at a vulnerable point. 

Safecracker

Safecracker is considered to be another excellent option though it is a high-reward and high-risk Contract. The job of this Contract is to mark three safes for players to discover and blast open. The loot haul players get excellent stuff like self-revives, cash, and killstreaks. However, players ought to be mindful that when they blast open three safes, it will make a little noise. Hence, it can draw individuals right to their location.

Most Wanted

It is the riskiest of all Contracts. Players get marked on the map, and it paints them as a target for 3 minutes. And when they can survive their time as Most Wanted, they get cash. It should be saved for some highly desperate situations at times when players lack sufficient money to purchase their squad back.

Discover high ground

Players find Al Mazrah to be a diverse place though verticality can turn into a key with every mountain top and building. When players get high up there, they can see their surroundings well. Hence, they can aim down at their enemies well.

Make some smart backpack choices

A backpack seems excellent for carrying UAVs, additional ammo, and equipment. Players can communicate with their teammates to know what they have been carrying around. However, not every player is required to lug around a backpack that is full of gas cans or self-revives. Hence, he must attempt to give himself as well as his team, various kinds of equipment and ammo.  

 

Tech Review – JBL Live Pro 2 True Wireless

It is great to see some new tech from JBL and the first review we have is their latest true wireless earbuds the all new Live Pro 2 and there is plenty more to come from the brand this year and it all looks good from seeing it hands on at their launch event last month in Dublin, for the last few weeks I have been testing the latest true wireless and I have been very impressed with them.

The presentation is as always great with JBL products especially their earbuds which come in the traditional box we are all familiar with and you can see the full unboxing on our YouTube channel where we go hands on with all our tech for better context check out the presentation and unboxing HERE 

Again these can easily be an airpod alternative and most likely better due to the new features provided and again Apple have a serious competitor on their hands here given the love they get and for me these are again better and cheaper, better build looks and design too so an all round winner in those departments.

They fit really well too and again like any earbuds check out the tips and get the right fit to get the full audio experience as within the app you get to ensure the fir is right and it might take a few goes to get this right which was a bit annoying however it is worth it in the end trust me, the fit is snug once you pick the right tips great noise isolation that is notable straight away and you cant really ignore that fact when trying them out. After that you are good to go once you check out the app and we go through this in the video review so you can see what you are getting.

The app itself has plenty of features which are great and you can control your earbuds from there or from the buds themselves, also I must point out take the left side out first then the second to get both going do not take both out at the same time as I have had several ask about not being able to connect one side.

The sound is where it matters most for people and they are fantastic, they are loud punchy nice bass highs lows and mids are fine and direction, they for me are one of the best earbuds so far this year and up there a the top tier costing less money competitors and giving better sound and app options to play around with to get the right notes for you.

You have 11mm drivers in these guys and six mics so calls are also great and during my testing both ends clear, noise cancelling on these is also pretty good and one of the best ones in this area this year and you have other options to play with with ambient and hear your own voice which is not present in many earbuds today. One thing missing that could of been included was the support for aptx codec but with the app you can fine tune to your own needs and still get an excellent audio experience at a great price.

You get extra niceties with wireless charging and quick charge too which helps and also what is cool is the use of Google assistant again we demo this in the video below so do check that out for more details. You also get dual connect and you have an IPX5 rating. On a budget of the asking price then? Pick these up you will not be disappointed.

 

JBL LIVE Pro 2 Features:

●      JBL’s Signature Sound from 11mm drivers

●      Up to 40 hours of playback time (10 hours in the earbud; 30 hours from charging case)

●      True Adaptive Noise Cancelling with smart ambient

#LG announces G Pro 2 in South Korea #JTB #mobiletech

LG has just announced the arrival of it’s long anticipated successor to the G Pro, the G Pro 2. The handsets specs are too notch and with a huge 5.9 inch screen it’s one of the biggest phablets to date, being matched by the Oppo N1 and, well, in not including the galaxy mega because it’s no competition to the G Pro 2 whatsoever. The Lumia 1520 has a slightly bigger screen at 6 inches but I’m not sure you would really see a difference when using the handsets.

Specs:

Screen: 5.9 inch IPS 1080p
Processor: 2.26Ghz snapdragon 800
Memory: 16 or 32 GB variants with Micro SD slot for up to 64GB more – 3GB of RAM
Camera: 13mp rear facing camera with OIS plus – capable of recording 2160p @ 30fps, 1080 @ 60fps and 720 @ 120fps.
Dimensions: 157.9 x 81.9 x 8.3
Battery:3200 mAh

The G Pro 2 is a strong contestant in the mobile industry, with great specs like these and the fact it’s running android 4.4.2 out of the box give it a huge advantage over the phones we’ll be see at MWC.

The downside: The western market won’t be seeing the handset until April because LG thinks phablets are an Asian thing, I kid you not.

The device also comes with LG’s knock code feature, which is like the knock knock feature but the screen is divided into different sections and to unlock the device you have to tap them in the right order, this works even when the screen is off, which I personally think is a great bonus.

So what do you think? Will the G Pro 2 make it and become this years best handset, or should LG have waited to put in some newer technology? Let me know in the comments and I’ll see you all next time.
