Ring extends its successful ULTRABOOST range

Renowned auto accessory giant, Ring Automotive, has once again exceeded all expectations with its newest product, the ULTRABOOST 2000A (RJS040) jump starter is its most powerful ULTRABOOST yet.

The ULTRABOOST 2000A is capable of jump starting eight litre petrol and four litre diesel engines, making it suitable for the vast majority of the car parc. It also has a Boost button that can energise batteries that are completely dead and comes with long cables, making it a convenient piece of equipment for all.

The ULTRABOOST 2000A is quick and easy to use, taking just 60 seconds to connect and start the engine effectively, meaning drivers can get back on the road that much quicker. It also has a large colour screen that has a battery indicator and colour status so the health of the battery is easy to determine.

The screen also provides clear instructions for the user, such as the green star, which indicates the driver can turn the engine over and a red warning light for reverse polarity protection. There is also an ‘in’ signal which shows the unit is recharging and an ‘out’ signal to show the unit is charging another device by powerbank. Finally, it has an orange coloured ‘low’ to show battery’s power is too low for a jumpstart, so the Boost button should be used.

Helpfully, the ULTRABOOST also has an integrated powerbank, that can charge phones, tablets and even laptops, as well as an LED light when needed.

Marketing Director, Henry Bisson, commented: “The ULTRABOOST is the latest product from Ring that expands on our already popular range of battery care items. While we have jump starters that can be used for a lot of vehicles, this new ULTRABOOST 2000A is our most powerful one yet, but can still fit in a glovebox if needed – making it convenient for all.”

HP OfficeJetPro 9135e Printer review

The HP OfficeJet Pro 9135e is positioned as the flagship of HP’s latest OfficeJet lineup, designed specifically for heavy-duty home offices and small businesses. It replaces the popular 9025e, bringing subtle but meaningful refinements in speed, security, and paper handling.

If you are looking for a “laser alternative” that can handle high-volume document workflows without the bulk of a toner-based machine, this is one of the strongest contenders on the market and comes with a very nice external touchscreen display and also you can print direct from your mobile phone or laptop via the HP Print app which works really well.

Key Specifications

Feature Performance
Print Speed Up to 25 ppm (Black) / 20 ppm (Color)
Paper Capacity 500 sheets (Dual 250-sheet trays)
Scanner Single-pass, 2-sided (duplex) ADF (35 sheets)
Monthly Volume Recommended up to 2,000 pages
Connectivity Dual-band self-healing Wi-Fi, Ethernet, USB, Bluetooth

This is a Productivity Workhorse, The standout feature is the dual 250-sheet paper trays. This allows you to keep a full ream of paper loaded at all times, or use one tray for standard A4/Letter and the other for specialized media like envelopes or letterheads.

With Efficient Scanning the single-pass duplex ADF is a lifesaver for office environments. It scans both sides of a page simultaneously, which is significantly faster and more reliable than “reversing” ADFs that physically flip the paper.

Modern Interface & Security, The 4.3-inch color touchscreen is responsive and intuitive. It also features HP Wolf Pro Security, which provides hardware-level protection against cyber threats—a rare but welcome addition for home office hardware. You can see more in the video review below.

The printer can be noisey like others when printing a large run of sheets again you can get a sample in the video below but in fairness most printers suffer this.

The HP OfficeJet Pro 9135e is a refined, reliable evolution of the 9000 series. It is best suited for users who value paper capacity and scanning speed above all else. This is Ideal for poeple that  frequently scan double-sided documents and need to print 500+ pages a month without constantly refilling the paper tray.

Key Features

Duplex printing

Allows you to print on both sides of the page, cutting your paper use by up to 50%.

Scan size ADF (maximum)

Allows multiple pages to be copied or scanned at one time

Borderless

Borderless photos are printed right to the edge of the paper. You get beautiful photo prints with no trimming!

83% of teachers say they lack formal training in AI

Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science James Lawless TD joined Microsoft Ireland to unveil research on the use of digital technologies and AI in Irish classrooms, and to announce the expansion of the Microsoft Dream Space Teacher Academy, a free programme designed to empower teachers with the skills to effectively and responsibly use AI and digital technologies in the classroom.

Powering new teaching models
The research entitled, ‘Digital Learning in the Era of AI’, reveals how AI and digital technologies are helping to enhance learning and engagement in the classroom. Conducted by 3Gem for Microsoft, the survey of 201 educators across Ireland found that:

·      87% use digital technologies to improve productivity and optimise classroom time

·      86% say apps and platforms help personalise teaching to meet students’ needs

·      81% report stronger student engagement when digital tools are used

·      72% support increased use of AI tools in the classroom

·      83% say they lack formal training in AI

 

While AI is one of the key technologies that teachers are embracing to enhance education and 64% of teachers believe it will positively transform education, adoption varies across the island of Ireland. In Northern Ireland, 74% of teachers report rapid uptake of generative AI, compared to 33% in the Republic.

Digital Tools and AI in Classrooms: Opportunities and Challenges

When asked about ways to bring technology and AI into the classroom, the top three suggestions agreed on by teachers include collaborative learning (49%), student-led initiatives (47%), and project-based learning (41%), approaches that are at the centre of the approach taken by the Microsoft Dream Space team.

The research also highlights a growing integration of digital tools in classrooms, from online worksheets to interactive quizzes, with more experienced teachers using a broader range of tools compared to newer teachers. However, adoption is uneven, especially in schools slower to embrace AI. While 83% of surveyed teachers agree they have not received adequate training to use tech and AI tools effectively, this issue is more pronounced in schools slower to embrace AI, where 67% cite insufficient training as a major barrier, compared to just 32% in faster-adopting schools.

Most educators report student use of laptops, tablets, or computers during lessons. In digitally advanced schools, 40% say devices are used in most teaching, compared to just 15% in slower-adopting schools. Overall, 26% of teachers report high usage (over 75% of teaching), while 51% report moderate use.

Generative AI has seen the fastest growth among digital tools in the past year, marking a shift in teaching approaches. Adoption also varies by location: 64% of urban educators describe their school’s digital transformation as fast or very fast, compared to 45% in suburban and 34% in rural schools. Teachers who use digital tools extensively are more likely to report rapid adoption (74%) than those who use them rarely (30%).

Despite these advances, confidence gaps remain, particularly among non-STEM teachers – only 18% feel fully equipped to use digital technology effectively in the classroom. Even among STEM educators, many report that a lack of ongoing support has limited the impact of their training.

In fact, 81% of teachers say they are lacking formal training in AI, and there is strong consensus among school leaders (92%) that AI training should be a mandatory part of both initial teacher education (ITE) and continuing professional development (CPD).

Microsoft Dream Space Teacher Academy*
To help address the research findings and support teachers to leverage AI and digital technologies to enhance learning and engagement in the classroom, Microsoft today announced the expansion of its Dream Space Teacher Academy for the 2025/2026 academic year. This free, multi-week programme is designed to help primary and post-primary teachers begin their journey with AI in education. It focuses on building confidence and understanding, starting with the basics of how AI works and why AI literacy matters.

Teachers will explore how AI can support productivity, learn how to use it responsibly and ethically, and access resources to help students develop their own AI literacy and future-ready skills. On completion, participants will earn a digital badge via Credly, with opportunities for further professional development and accreditation.

Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, James Lawless TD said: “Microsoft’s latest research underscores the opportunity for AI and digital tools to enhance teaching and learning, as well as the need to support educators with the right training and support to use them effectively. The new national guidance on AI in schools published by the Department of Education is an important step in that journey, providing a clear framework to help educators adopt these technologies responsibly and confidently.

“This aligns with the broader direction of our education system, including the new primary curriculum’s emphasis on digital literacy and modern skills. Across further and higher education, we remain focused on preparing both learners and educators to thrive in an AI-enabled world. Industry has a vital role to play in this, and I’m delighted to join Microsoft today in announcing this expanded AI skills offering for teachers through the Microsoft Dream Space Teacher Academy.”

James O’Connor, Microsoft Ireland Site Leader and Corporate Vice President of Microsoft Global Operations Service Centre, added: “Microsoft is committed to supporting Irish educators to bring a digital mindset into the classroom to enhance learning and student engagement. This research shows that teachers are ready to embrace AI, but they need the right support to do so confidently and responsibly. As the new guidance on the use of AI in the classroom highlights, it’s not just about having access to digital tools; it’s about understanding how AI works and how to use it in ways that truly benefit students.

“That’s why we’re expanding the Dream Space Teacher Academy and investing further in our ambition to Skill Up Ireland. We are committed to helping teachers build the skills, trust and AI literacy they need to confidently use AI in the classroom. By focusing on responsible use, digital understanding and practical classroom application, we hope to support educators to create more inclusive, engaging and future-ready learning experiences for every student across the island of Ireland.” 

Educators interested in joining the free Microsoft Dream Space Teacher Academy can register their interest by the 13th of November at: Dream Space Teacher Packages.

Vodafone Ireland reports 76% year on year growth in device trade-ins

Vodafone Ireland, the leading communications partner to Irish consumers and businesses, today reported a sharp 76% increase in its device trade ins in June, compared to June 2024.

Publishing the data today, Vodafone Ireland reported a ‘record month’ with more customers than ever trading in their old devices and its ‘best week ever’ – one in three customers buying a new handset traded in their old device during the last week of June, demonstrating a growing shift toward responsible tech ownership and more sustainable choices.

Devices are traded in to be recycled, refurbished and reused, while the average trade-in value currently received by customers is €150* per transaction. As a responsible communications partner, the Trade In service is part of Vodafone Ireland’s commitment to sustainability and supporting consumers to make sustainable choices.

Driving Affordability 

The Trade-In service allows customers to release the residual value of their devices, which they can then use to reduce the price of a new device, gain store credit to purchase accessories, or opt for the price to come straight off their bill.

This service, pioneered by Vodafone Ireland – another Vodafone first – and launched in 2022, is available to consumers across Vodafone’s 80 retail stores nationwide, with all reporting strong uptake of the initiative. To date, Irish consumers have saved over €8 million through this e-waste service.

This initiative was established to address the increasing challenge of e-waste in Ireland. A recent study estimated that there are 7.3 million unused smartphones** in Irish households, demonstrating the opportunity for trade-in options to see these devices responsibly reused, recycled or repurposed rather than going to waste.

Trade-In  

Consumers can trade in their phones, tablets, iPads and smart watches while Vodafone Ireland also accepts devices for responsible recycling, including laptops.

The service offers an effective and tangible solution to Ireland’s e-waste challenge, with every device traded in first securely wiped of data, and then either refurbished for reuse or responsibly recycled — with 0% sent to landfill.

This circular approach prevents valuable materials from going to waste and reduces the carbon footprint associated with manufacturing new devices. By making trade-ins simple and rewarding for Irish consumers, Vodafone Ireland is driving greater consumer participation in the shift towards sustainable and responsible tech ownership.

Earlier this month, Vodafone Ireland was named Best Mobile Operator for the 10th consecutive year by independent benchmarking organisation umlaut, achieving a record-breaking score. The recognition highlights Vodafone’s €500 million five-year investment in network and its role as the connectivity partner to 60% of Irish businesses.

Commenting today, Sabrina Casalta, CEO, Vodafone Ireland said:  

“Trade in plays a critical role in driving Vodafone Ireland’s commitment to protecting the planet, as well as offering affordability for our customers. With one in every three customers across our retail stores trading in a handset, we’re delivering on our ambition to tackle e-waste and supporting the circular economy in Ireland. These results are commendable and testament to the efforts of our team, our retail colleagues and also to our customers throughout the country who are taking action.  

‘We’ve invested heavily in this campaign since 2022 because we saw an opportunity to make a difference. We encourage Irish consumers to maintain this momentum and continue to support us in tackling e-waste through trading in their device for repair, recycle or repurposing. This is a tangible method to deliver change and make a difference for generations to come.” 

Over 2,000 people work with Vodafone in Ireland across its Dublin HQ and 80 retail units across the country while the company has more than 2.3 million customers and growing.

6 Most Essential Characteristics of Devices That Are Worth Paying Students’ Attention to Perform an Online Assignment

Technology has undoubtedly brought about an unprecedented change in the way we lead our lives. The world has moved to a digital format for almost every activity. The education format has undergone a sea of changes, with digital teaching methods taking over the traditional ones. 

With the advent of digitization, the need for devices that support education and entertainment needs has evolved. Students of the tech generation require several gadgets that help their activities. Each of these plays an essential role in influencing a successful performance. 

Smartphones

There is no doubt that a smartphone is one of the essential devices that comes into use every day of our lives; whether it is for a working professional or a student, a smartphone performs a variety of functions apart from primary calling and texting. Today’s smartphones are as good as tablets, and the software they come equipped, allowing for fast browsing and performing online activities. The handheld devices are perfect for sharing emails, recording voice notes, and so much more in a classroom. You can even write your essays right on your smartphone in the notes. Or, you can keep your final works from custom essay writing help in the files. Smartphones are great helpers with your assignments. The virtual assistants present in both iOS and Android software are further designed to make everyday activities simpler.

Smartphones come with impressive storage capacity that aid in keeping all projects, lessons intact and in one place. Every student in today’s date owns a smartphone, and it is up to one to use it to its optimum capacity.”

Assignment help from expert writers 

Technology sure has made quality education easier to obtain, but some traditional tasks demand complete attention from students, and not much will change on that front. Instead, students can make good use of the technology at their disposal to perform better and reach a better chance of scoring impressive grades. If you are looking for high-quality writing assistance for projects, you could buy assignment online from EduBirdie for powerful thesis and dissertation submission. This reputed online writing service is targeted at providing appropriate aid to students whenever needed.

Tablets

Tablets are best explained as a device that performs the functions of a smartphone and a computer. These compact, easy to hold devices are perfect for a student. They come in bigger screen sizes and thus help in attending many classes, making presentations, or completing assignments. 

The latest designs also come with a stylus that makes writing easy. If not a stylus, most tablets are compatible with other external devices like a mouse, keyboard that help duplicate it as a computer. The easy to carry and charge facility make them a preferred choice for students. The multiple brands in the market also make top-notch designs that are sleek, comforting to use, and look great to carry around on the campus. 

 

Kindle or e-readers 

E-readers are the perfect companion for students that love to read books, documents, or newspapers. Students must get their daily dose of content from these online formats. The hassle of carrying or signing up at the library for multiple books is solved in a jiffy with the purchase of e-readers. Kindle is a famous and go-to device for students, working professionals, or avid readers.

Download the books you like, new launches, or look up documents that help you complete your dissertation. With time, about seven-eight generations of these e-readers provide, and with every new launch, additional features are presented for users to make online reading an absolute delight. 

Laptops 

Laptops are highly beneficial for students for a simple reason, they are portable and come with impressive storage capacity and coupled with the tech tools. They come with fast processors, excellent battery life, and are much easier to use for taking down notes or making presentations. 

Every student must invest in a good laptop with the latest tech tools and configurations to make the most of their study years. They also are great for completing writing or design tasks; the ease of connectivity also allows one to connect to WiFi and cellular data services rather quickly. 

A laptop also aids in facilitating group work allowing multiple students to collaborate and work together for assignments or team projects. Access to many tools is much easier with laptops and is instead the first choice ahead of tablets. 

Conclusion 

Technology is on a constant rise, and there is no stopping its further growth. The past years have been a testament in proving that it is fast-paced, and with every few months, we experience the launch of a new product or an evolution in the same devices from its last launch. Students of the current generation are blessed with easy-to-use gadgets and tools that they must take complete advantage of for a rich quality study experience.

TCL debuts the company’s NXTPAPER display technology along with TCL 10 TABMAX and TCL 10 TABMID tablets at IFA 2020 #IFA20 #TCL

TCL, one of the world’s best-selling consumer electronics brands and leading technology companies, is today introducing the company’s newest display technology – NXTPAPER – along with two all-new TCL tablets. The company’s innovative NXTPAPER display technology is paired with a reflective screen to repurpose natural light, making it the world’s first “zero eye strain” display that can be used for larger screen surfaces such as tablets. This creates a one of a kind user experience optimized for learning and reading. Additionally, TCL is introducing a pair of 10 Series tablets with the TCL 10 TABMAX and the TCL 10 TABMID, which are productivity powerhouses designed to help unleash your creative side and enable you to get work done from anywhere. 

 

“TCL continues to build upon our deep experience in display technology as well as its vertically integrated consumer electronics ecosystem to develop innovative technologies like NXTPAPER to offer something more to our customers,” said Jefferson Li, General Manager of the TCL Tablet Product Line. “This, combined with our first TCL-branded 10 Series tablets, shows how our company continues to provide innovative tablets that meet modern-day demands at a variety of price points. This is even more true now given the current pandemic sweeping the globe and with so many individuals being displaced from traditional office or classroom environments needing powerful, adaptable tablets that allow them to stay productive from anywhere.”

 

TCL NXTPAPER Technology

The company’s proprietary NXTPAPER display technology is the artistic combination of screen and paper and the culmination of two years of product research and design as well as 11 patents for eye protection. This display technology provides Full-HD definition that offers a paper-like visual experience in full color with no flicker and no harmful blue light. TCL achieves this by combining a highly reflective screen that uses TCL display technology to reuse natural light and has received eye protection certifications from the German Rhine laboratory as well SGS laboratory and German VDE. 

 

When compared to traditional e-ink, TCL NXTPAPER has 25 percent higher contrast for better viewing and when compared to a typical LCD panel, TCL NXTPAPER is up to 36 percent thinner creating a device that can be much slimmer and lighter. NXTPAPER display technology is also more than 65 percent more power efficient than a typical LCD, allowing for much better battery efficiency and overall longer device battery life. Designed specifically for larger format devices, such as tablets, TCL NXTPAPER technology is ideal for learning and reading, but also allows for smooth video playback which creates a better work and learning experience.

 

TCL 10 TABMAX: Unleash the Power of Creativity

Featuring a best-in-class viewing experience, the TCL 10 TABMAX offers a whole new scale of innovative display technology with NXTVISION, revealing the most vibrant colors and rich details. The 10.36-inch FHD+ display, 8.3mm narrow bezels and widescreen layout allows you to unleash your creative work without restrictions. You can use the TCL Stylus to draw, write or doodle casually, just like a pencil on paper. With ultra-low latency, a natural in-hand feel and an elegant design, the TCL Stylus is the perfect companion to this tablet.

 

Built to get things done, the TCL 10 TABMAX can handle high-definition video calls, using an advanced dual-microphone system that picks up your voice and uses a noise reduction feature to ensure smooth exchanges. Furthermore, the dual-speaker setup provides a more natural meeting experience, while the 8-megapixel front camera provides more engaging and efficient group communications. Typecover and 4G connectivity ensures you have the freedom to stay connected while on-the-go, and software solutions from Google and Microsoft, allow you to stay productive from anywhere. 

 

While long work hours can often put strain on the eyes, the TCL 10 TABMAX also offers intelligent eye protection with no flicker, no harmful blue light and better brightness and tonality when in daylight or low light conditions. It will also signal an alarm if the viewer is within 25cm from the screen, encouraging more distance for eye protection. Parents can leverage Kids Mode to set up a kid-friendly UI and parental controls for added protection. The tablet can also be used as a smart home display, showcasing photos, the weather and traffic; it is integrated with Google Assistant, so you can easily manage tasks and play music using only the sound of your voice. 

 

The TCL 10 TABMAX comes with an 8-megapixel front facing camera, a 13-megapixel rear facing camera and a large 8000 mAh battery for all-day use. It will be available across select regions globally in both 4G and Wi-Fi only models beginning in Q4 for €299 EUR and €249 EUR, respectively. 

 

TCL 10 TABMID More Fun with Power and Style 

The TCL 10 TABMID offers high-quality features in a lighter, sleeker design weighing in at a mere 325g and measuring only 8.5mm thick, making it easy to take along with you. It has an 8-inch FHD IPS display and a whole new scale of innovative display technology with NXTVISION to ensure this tablet screen won’t lose its brightness, contrast or color at any angle. It also reduces blue light to relieve visual fatigue and has a reading mode that adjusts the screen to black and white, while adjusting brightness and contrast based on the environment.

 

 

Entertainment enthusiasts will love its powerful speaker system and deep booming sound for audio and video uses, as well as its Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 665 processor with an octa-core CPU and a high-performance GPU for online gaming. The TCL 10 TABMID is also a great choice for kids; much like the TCL 10 TABMAX, the TABMID 4G offers a Kids Mode that presents a kid-friendly UI and parental controls. It also works with Google Assistant, allowing you to easily manage tasks, get answers and play music using only the sound of your voice. 

 

Powering through movies, games, emails and more, the TCL 10 TABMID comes with a strong 5500 mAh battery for all-day use, a one touch fingerprint sensor for easy log-in and security, as well as a premium, special-edition dark blue back cover. It offers a 5-megapixel front facing camera and an 8-megapixel rear facing camera. This tablet also offers both Wi-Fi and 4G connectivity and will be available beginning in Q4 for €229 EUR.  

Irish Start up #Fixiy (@fixiy1) Scores 2 dragons from the den. #SelfRepair #DDirl #IrishMobileBiz

The dragons den tv show is now in its 2 episode this season and we have seen some really good ideas and some not so good,this is typical but the dragons know what they want and if they see something interesting they will come on board and invest.

Personally knowing two previous successful entrants who have now a story to tell of their success you can see why people want to come on the show and let people know what they have in mind,entrepreneurs have a unique talent,its shows like this that tells it straight may it be good or bad news at the end it often can crush ones feelings or change their life..

What captured me last night was FIXIY..

Why does it interest me?

Several reasons actually why i think this will be a success story.

Been involved in mobile tech near 20 years now and many years experience at repairs myself this offers a solution to a big problem.

Screen damage is a daily occurrence,often the case the screen is the most expensive part of the phone and in some cases more than the phone itself which would be put down to a non economical repair,same applies to water damage.

Most phones now have delicate housing,the iphone in particular with glass front and back on older models,screens are also tough on most phones now using corning gorilla glass but this is not bulletproof nor unbreakable by any means,in fact its pot luck if the screen breaks when the phone is dropped  from any normal level,ie shirt pocket or at arms length.

Been a multiforum  support member for near ten years i see this complaint on a daily basis as to people complaining about the screen breaking  and having shatter-proof glass,such as corning glass.

If you have no insurance this can be a very costly expense to fix with screen repair costing up to €250 maybe more on some phablets it often leads people to search elsewhere to find a cheaper alternative.Phablets are the in thing now, big screens,bezels getting thinner to give real screen estate,this makes them more prone to breakage.Tablets are the same they are more clunky and more so prone to damage,tablets are growing at a fast rate and we like to have them on our laps at home watching TV etc, im sure many have let them fall from knees etc etc

What happens next?

These people go an attempt self fixes,often the case make it worse,void warranty and so on.

They typical go to you tube and watch tutorials,this is fine if you are technically minded and have some idea as to what your doing,from a personal standpoint ive seen self repairs go terribly wrong and i have had to jump in.

Another thing is getting the parts,people shop on ebay or amazon,amazon been the most reputable in my view would offer a better and safer choice on ebay,there is many sellers there that self non compatible,non genuine or substitute parts which are substantially cheaper than OEMs ,been fair some will work some wont or if they do should you have an issue down the road if it becomes faulty then you run into problems.

Why will FIXIY work?

Well to start from seen the package contents you get all the correct tools,again tools are available on-line some good some not so good again cost is a factor here,fixiy offers an all in one solution,a one stop shop if you will to repair yourself,or they can repair for you.. also i would imagine a quicker turnaround than services offered today.

Going forward this can grow bigger already having impressive figures its showing a trend,i do hope they support all popular phone models as time goes on this is crucial in my opinion.

About FIXIY

 FIXIY has two core services. First – the authorised FIXIY Tech licence program (a bit like a franchise). We train suitable candidates to become the FIXIY Tech for their area. The FIXIY Tech pays an initial Start-up fee and ongoing monthly support fee. The 2nd Core service is the FIXIY Kit. This is a Fix It Yourself Kit for repairing a broken Smartphone, Tablet or Laptop. We supply the customer with the replacement part, professional tools, installation guide and installation support..

Final word.

Thumbs up from me and i wish you the best in the future and well done on securing two dragons.
