EZ Living Furniture is proud to announce the launch of its AR app (Augmented Reality), the first of its kind in Ireland. With the magic of technology, you can now bring sofas, bed frames, wardrobes, lighting and so much more directly and virtually into your own home.

Teaming up with AR specialists Intiaro, EZ Living Furniture developed the first real Irish furniture AR app for the retail sector.

As more and more of us have begun to move our offices into the home, we stumble across increased costs when it comes to our printing costs. It’s no secret that inkjet printers are the more economical choice for the home. Their compact size, quick start up time and friendly price tag,and latest technology makes them the perfect home printer or small office printer for printing important work documents, photos, homework material or college work.
Inkjet printers work by spraying thousands of droplets of ink onto a piece of paper and colours are combined to form an image or text. The colours and sizes of these droplets can be adjusted to produce sharp, photo-realistic images. However, the ink cartridges required to bring the pages to life, aren’t always easy on the wallet. (although significantly cheaper than toners for laser printers).
The fact is that in the long run we incur more costs with ink cartridges than we do with the original costs of the printer. That is why it is the smart option to do your research and look for alternatives to the often expensive, original cartridges. By opting for compatible ink cartridges for your inkjet printer, as opposed to originals, you can expect significant savings.
At 123ink.ie, an Irish supplier of printer consumables, their philosophy is to print more and to pay less.
That is why they offer a cheaper alternative to the original ink cartridges. Their compatible ink cartridges are filled with a lot more ink than the originals, so you don’t have to replace your ink as often. This allows you to print as much as you want, all at a cheaper price point. All of this is guaranteed without a loss in quality. They also hold a huge range of stock in their Dublin warehouse, so they can get your order shipped to you fast.
Some Bestsellers:
The HP301 seriesis a very popular ink cartridge that works with many HP printer models.
The HP301 (original HP) comes with 3ml of ink

That’s 12ml more ink!
Another popular ink cartridge is the Canon PG540 and the Canon CL541 that come in a handy 2-pack, that includes both black and colour ink for your Canon inkjet printer.

With our world shrinking and the majority of people now working from home, indoor air quality experts, Airthings, wanted to share some information on an issue that is easily fixed but often forgotten: humidity. Issues with humidity are a problem for everyone. It can cause mould growth, exacerbate eczema, bring on dust mite allergies, and has even been linked to asthma and respiratory illnesses. As if that wasn’t enough, the link between low humidity and infection has recently been investigated, and the results aren’t good. Since Airthings specialise in indoor air quality, they have generated a quick summary to demonstrate how healthy humidity levels impact everyone’s new temporary place of work; their homes.
The issue:
Researchers for the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention found that when humidity levels were at 23%, 70 to 77% of flu virus particles were still able to cause an infection an hour after coughing. Raising humidity levels to 43% reduced the percentage of infectious particles to just 14%.
New research:
Yale University recently unveiled ground-breaking research that discovered the link between low humidity and the increased risk of contracting the flu virus. The lead researcher found that the body’s natural defence mechanisms were hindered in fighting the flu virus in environments of low humidity.
Why should I care?
The CDC research shows that the flu virus survived for longer in low humidity. The Yale researcher found that low humidity also made it more difficult for the body to remove inhaled particles and therefore reduced the test subject’s natural defences and increased the chances of contracting flu.
The risk:
The tricky thing about humidity levels is that they fluctuate and vary depending on the home, daily activities, the seasons and much more. Excess humidity levels can result in mould growth on window panes and in the home whereas very low humidity levels can help the spread of the flu virus as shown in the research.
Correct humidity levels:
Healthy indoor humidity levels are between 30-50% according to Environmental Protection Agency recommendations. By keeping the home in between these recommended levels, it can reduce the risk that comes with poor indoor humidity.
How to maintain healthy humidity levels:
Humans find it hard to detect when humidity levels are changing, that is why we are so good at adapting to different environments. The problem is, we only notice when humidity levels are really bad, where we start scratching our skin or notice mould growth. The best solution is to monitor humidity, that way you can be alerted to when levels get too high or low. Airthings Wave Mini helps to monitor humidity, or by upgrading to Airthings Wave Plus, the device offers complete indoor air insights including humidity and radon gas.
In addition, Airthings have compiled their top tips to fix humidity in your home. The important thing to remember is that as long as humidity is monitored, it will show when is the right time to make these small changes to fix the issue before it becomes a bigger problem. With regards to the Coronavirus, the World Health Organisation warns that everyone can be at risk including those living in hot, humid conditions. For information and support on the Coronavirus, read what the WHO says here.

I have several desk lamps in the house and two have been used for tech and often seen in the background in some of my reviews and they would be on my review table for several reasons. Light being one and other functions too be it wireless charging or bluetooth speaker and of course the light factor as to what it can offer..
The said lights above have been more or less a fixed affair with not much movement but had dimming or brightness controls but the actual lights did have some ability to move around offering a wider use case range and for me that is important.
This light has a touch panel on the base which is solid supported by four rubber stoppers underneath which keep it fixed in place. You have a timer,power switch a mode switch and then a night switch which allows you to see in the dark to turn on the light by emitting an orange dot on the panel.
The lamp can twist,turn from the base and also extends at an angle then the main LED section can rotate either way which is the additional bonus here for me to give you better control for lighting which for me is important and will also be of benefit to those who would use one to give them better light set ups for their personal use case. Also this lamp has a USB port on the rear which allows you to attach another item to it which saves on plugs and I have done that with mine by attaching my RGB desklamp to it as it sits with it in my set up at home. This lamp again is clean and effective with a simple to use control panel and ideal for any office or home and cheap.
Dimmable Eye-friendly Lighting: offers 5 different lighting modes and 7 levels of brightness, all on the seamlessly integrated touch panel. Generates a soft, evenly diffused flicker-free LED light for work, reading, relaxation
Multi-Angle Adjustments: Adjustable arm, rotating base, and swiveling lamp head for perfect positioning and lighting angle
USB Charging: Conveniently charge your devices with the built-in 5V/1A USB output; keep your smartphone or tablet within reach while charging
Auto-Off Timer & Memory Function: Turn the light off automatically with 1 hour auto-off timer to save on your electricity bill before you are going to sleep. Also, the lamp always remembers the last brightness and color setting used
Package Contents: AUKEY LT-T10 LED Desk Lamp, AC Adapter, User Manual, 24-Month Warranty Card
Dutch food tech start-up, MiniBrew, has today launched its first home brewing product, MiniBrew CRAFT, to the European market. The all-in-one, automatic beer brewing machine has been created to transform beer lovers into craft beer brewers.
Designed to inspire the brewers of tomorrow, MiniBrew’s CRAFT machine offers beer enthusiasts an innovative, yet remarkably simple way to create a variety of quality beers in the comfort of their own home, or even pub shed. Brewers can enjoy quality beers, made by their own hands, which come fresher than any beer you can buy from the supermarket and can be preserved up to three-months with the product’s built-in cooler.
The beautifully constructed MiniBrew CRAFT appliance features a real wooden back, a transparent mashing tun and a copper coloured keg for a traditional look. The product can be used to make recipes from all over the world while helping consumers understand the brewing process step by step.
MiniBrew’s brewing portfolio features 10 different recipes crafted by its in-house brewologist and beverage scientists using its signature beer style, as well as natural flavours and herbs that are precisely measured in each Brew Pack. The appliance also calculates the precise amount of water needed and defines a mashing, boiling and fermenting scheme for each individual Brew Pack, helping to deliver an exceptional experience every time.
Commenting on the launch, Bart van de Kooij, founder of MiniBrew, said: “CRAFT is for consumers who love beer and want to explore their true, inner beer-making soul.”
“We started with a clear vision: to transform the home-brewing experience, which is traditionally very time-consuming, expensive and messy. Now that vision is a reality, our next step is to expand our brewing portfolio and help more beer lovers fulfil their brewing potential.”
The MiniBrew CRAFT machine starts at €1199, and Brew Packs start at €17. The MiniBrew CRAFT Pro is the same machine but gives experienced brewers powerful software with the opportunity to pilot and create their own recipes, while also giving professional breweries the opportunity to collaborate and share their recipe as a Brew Pack.
The MiniBrew CRAFT and MiniBrew CRAFT Pro can be purchased via authorised retailers and at www.minibrew.io.
