Taking pictures in the dark – How to capture 2023 on your phone

January 2, 2023 Matt Porter Leave a comment

Brits are being given tips on how to capture the perfect memories on their mobile phones during 2023!

Photography experts at ParrotPrint.com have named the seven top tips for taking the best low-light pictures as the clock strikes midnight.

The right lighting is key to a good photograph so it can be challenging to capture memories when it’s dark.

By keeping the phone steady, making use of nearby light sources and getting acquainted with some of the smarter mobile phone features, anyone can get closer to capturing the perfect picture going in 2023

A spokesperson from Parrot Print said: “Everyone celebrating the New Year, whether at a party or watching the fireworks or just spending time with loved ones at home, wants to capture that memory on camera – the last second of 2022 and the first memory of 2023.

“Taking a photo on a phone in the dark can be difficult and often leaves us feeling like we can’t quite capture the beautiful moment in front of us.

“It can be hard to take a great picture at night or in darker locations as mobile phone cameras have smaller sensors than traditional cameras leading to blurry or pixelated photos.

“The good news is you don’t necessarily need a professional camera to take great pictures at night. A lot of smartphones these days have features to help us all take better pictures as long as we know where to look.

“You can also make use of the environment around you and set the phone up so it is as steady as you can make it before capturing that perfect nighttime picture.”

Tips for capturing memories on New Year’s Eve:

1. Keep your phone stable

It doesn’t take much for a photo to appear blurry, especially if it’s taken at night so you’ll want to ensure your camera is as stable as possible. You could either invest in a handheld tripod or hold your phone with a tight grip in both hands.

2. Download long-exposure apps

Professional photographers tend to use longer exposure when taking pictures at night. This means the shutter speed of the camera is slower and can capture blurring motions too whilst still getting a sharp and crisp image. Although you can’t physically do this to your phone’s camera settings, you can download an app to help

3. The flash isn’t always the solution

When taking a picture at night or in the dark, a lot of people assume the flash will solve all their problems. Whilst this does do the trick sometimes, it’s not always the answer and can sometimes ruin the picture.

4. Use night mode

The majority of the latest smartphones have night mode to help enhance the pictures we take. Night mode takes several frames and then combines different elements of each to create a crisper image.

5. Adjust the ISO

ISO determines how sensitive to light your camera is and essentially helps brighten or darken an image. Not all phones allow you to change the ISO but it is an option on some. The higher the ISO, the brighter the image will be.

6. Make use of light around you

Depending on where you are and what you’re trying to capture you may be able to use the light around you like a lamppost or a candle. Making clever use of these light sources in a dark setting can create the perfect moody image.

7. Consider using editing apps

If you feel like you still can’t capture the perfect image then there is the option to use an editing app to enhance different elements of the picture to get the result you want.

Making Streaming Services Not Suck Again

December 17, 2022 Matt Porter Leave a comment

If you have been paying attention to the ways in which we use streaming services, then you might have well noticed that they have changed a lot over the years, and not always (or usually) for the better. Aside from some top-quality shows getting cancelled, it feels like more and more content is getting gated, split off, and otherwise made harder for us to enjoy. We may not be able to return to the peak of online TV streaming, but there are some ways to make it suck less.

Don’t commit to them

Okay, so it might be a little inconvenient to think about which streaming service you’re going to be using each and every month but the truth is that being “loyal” doesn’t pay. You don’t get any bonuses for staying with any particular service for longer and, most importantly, you’re not locked down to any one service for any period of time. Most streaming services operate on a pay-as-you-go monthly basis. As such, you can make sure that you’re subscribed to whatever services are helping you watch whichever shows you’re invested in at the moment, and then, when you’re done with that, use a comparison site to find a service that’s offering a better selection for you next month.

Get access to overseas content

One of the ways that streaming sites have been increasingly gating off the content that they allow us to access is through region-locked content. This can be due to licensing issues, or not getting the rights to broadcast in all countries, but sometimes, it’s literally just because they don’t think certain media will appeal to certain audiences. If you want to learn how to watch Hulu with VPN, it’s super easy to be able to access the roster that some of your overseas friends might be gushing about. This way, you can make sure that you don’t get all amped up to watch something that you heard was available, only for inevitable disappointment when you find out it’s not available in your region.

Consider using some free options

If you’re starting to look at your budget and you’re a little distressed by just how much of it is taken up by subscription services, then it might be time for a detox. While you could switch to a method of switching sites month by month, you should also look at the sheer variety of free streaming services that are still available. Unlike a few years back, piracy isn’t your only option when it comes to watching shows that you can’t otherwise access. Most of these free streaming services do rely on ads, so you might not be getting exactly the same experience, but it’s not that bad a trade-off, overall.

With the increasing move of streaming services to a model that’s closer to traditional cable TV, we might be trying to hold back the tide. However, you can at least ensure that you get to enjoy your streaming services a little better for a little longer with the tips above.

Britain to run out of electric vehicle mechanics by 2030

December 7, 2022 Matt Porter Leave a comment

The UK is on track to run out of mechanics qualified to service and repair electric vehicles (EVs) by 2030, according to a cross-party think-tank. The Social Market Foundation (SMF) has warned of a skills shortfall among mechanics trained to work on EVs, which could drive up servicing costs and potentially leave some drivers unable to have their cars maintained properly. The number of EVs on the UK’s roads is increasing rapidly and recently reached 1 million. However, the number of qualified technicians is not keeping pace with the growth in EVs, according to SMF analysis. The SMF report highlights industry estimates that by 2027, there will not be enough qualified mechanics to maintain all of the UK’s EVs. By 2030, the country could face a shortfall of 25,000 qualified technicians.

The SMF is calling on the government to support efforts to recruit and train more workers with the skills needed to maintain EVs. These skills are significantly different to those required to maintain internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. Many ICE mechanics receive informal on-the-job training, but the SMF warned that since EV maintenance involves working with high-voltage electricity, that approach could be inappropriate and even dangerous. “Formalised, professional and accredited training routes to prepare technicians for EV repair and maintenance are needed,” the report said. The SMF is calling for reforms to allow more of the money paid by larger employers for the Apprenticeship Levy to be used to fund EV technician training.

The SMF report is based on interviews with mechanics and technicians and industry experts. It highlights concerns that the skills gap could raise the cost of repairs or reduce the quality of repairs, which could decrease consumers’ willingness to switch to EVs. The SMF highlights the limited attention paid to vehicle technicians’ skills in government plans to decarbonise transport. Neither the Department for Education nor the Department for Transport has examined how growing EV uptake will impact vehicle technicians or developed policies to support workforce growth.

The report was sponsored by the European Climate Foundation (ECF). The SMF retains complete editorial independence of its publications. — Source: IMI modelling based on SMMT high EV uptake scenario

A key challenge identified in the SMF research is attracting new entrants to the sector because of what industry leaders describe as an “image problem” around car maintenance work. Perceptions of the work as dirty, hard and male-dominated deter some potential recruits from pursuing a career as a mechanic, the SMF found. The SMF recommends that the UK avoid the looming skills crunch by focusing on recruiting young people and improving incentives for upskilling among the current workforce. This could include launching a green careers campaign to attract young people and those from underrepresented backgrounds into EV repairs, developing a medium-term plan to upskill technicians, and releasing Apprenticeship Levy funds to pay for EV technician training.

Recommendations to ensure that the UK averts the looming skills crunch, are as follows:

Improve the attractiveness of the industry. Launch an attractive green careers campaign to get young people and those from underrepresented backgrounds into EV repairs
Develop a medium-term credible plan to upskill technicians. As part of this strategic planning, manufacturers, industry bodies and training providers should develop a clear accredited training route.
Release Apprenticeship Levy funds to pay for EV technician training. Key low-carbon industries, including EV repairs, should be central to reform of the Apprenticeship Levy reform to ensure the development of a pipeline of green skills to deliver Net Zero.
Introduce a mandatory license to operate in the EV repair and maintenance industry. Given the potential hazards involved in working with EVs, a formal qualification should be required, much as, for example, gas heating engineers are required by law to have a Gas Safe certification.

Amy Norman, Senior Researcher at Social Market Foundation, said:

“Electric vehicles are the future of cheaper, greener motoring, but servicing and maintaining them requires a new skills and training. Britain is in real danger of running short of the skilled mechanics and technicians needed to keep EVs on the roads.

“More needs to be done to ensure more workers are getting the skills and training needed to keep Britain on the road to Net Zero. That means better policies to support skills and training, including more creative use of Apprenticeship Levy funds.

“It also means doing more to attract recruits into this vital trade. The men and women who train to keep millions of EVs running smoothly should be seen as green heroes helping Britain speed towards a cleaner future.

“The transition to EVs is a great example of the opportunities that come from the shift to a low-carbon economy – with the right policies in place, the transition in driving can unlock thousands of high-skill blue-collar jobs for current and future generations.”

How Close are we to Self-Aware AI?

December 6, 2022 Matt Porter Leave a comment

The progress of AI is measured in seasons, so it is unsurprising to read with are in an AI Summer, this means millions of pounds of investment capital are being pumped into research with art, national language and more!

The question on many people’s lips is; “When will AI become self-aware?”.

It is difficult to say exactly how close we are to creating artificial intelligence (AI) that has self-awareness. At present, most AI systems are designed to perform specific tasks and do not have the ability to be self-aware. However, some researchers are working on developing AI systems that have more advanced cognitive abilities, such as the ability to learn and adapt, and some of these systems may eventually have the ability to be self-aware.

The concept of self-awareness is complex and not well-defined, which makes it difficult to determine whether or not an AI system has achieved it. Some researchers argue that true self-awareness would require an AI system to have a sense of its own identity, consciousness, and the ability to introspect. Others argue that self-awareness could be achieved through more basic cognitive abilities, such as the ability to recognize oneself in a mirror or to understand one’s own thoughts and emotions.

At present, we do not have any AI systems that possess these advanced cognitive abilities, and it is not clear when or if we will be able to create such systems. Some experts believe that it may be possible to create AI systems that have a limited form of self-awareness, but that true self-awareness may be beyond the capabilities of current technology.

While there is ongoing research into creating AI systems with advanced cognitive abilities, including the potential for self-awareness, we are not currently close to achieving this. The concept of self-awareness is complex and not well-defined, making it difficult to determine when or if an AI system might be able to achieve it.

Are You Not Entertained!!? Stable Diffusion and AI-Art using Text to Image Natural Language Processing

December 6, 2022 Matt Porter Leave a comment

I’ve been playing with a number of Text to Image AI art systems over the past couple of months. One has captured my imagination due to its Open Source model.

I even trained ‘Stable Diffusion’ with my own likeness, which has been a most interesting and exciting process. Read on to find out what these systems are and how they work and enjoy the images that were all created using Stable Diffusion 1.5.

Text-to-image AI art is a type of art that uses artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to generate images based on text input. This type of art is gaining popularity among artists and art enthusiasts because it allows for the creation of unique, one-of-a-kind images that would be difficult or impossible to create manually.

To create text-to-image AI art, an artist first inputs a piece of text, such as a sentence or a paragraph, into the AI algorithm. The algorithm then uses natural language processing (NLP) techniques to understand the meaning of the text and generate an image that represents the text. This can be done using a variety of techniques, such as deep learning, neural networks, or other AI algorithms.

One of the key benefits of text-to-image AI art is that it allows artists to create highly detailed and complex images. The AI algorithms are able to generate a wide range of variations and details, resulting in images that are rich and varied. This makes text-to-image AI art ideal for creating art that is realistic, surreal, or abstract.

Another benefit of text-to-image AI art is that it allows artists to create art that is based on a specific theme or concept. By inputting a paragraph of text that describes a particular scene or idea, the AI algorithm can generate an image that represents that scene or idea. This allows artists to create art that is based on a specific concept, rather than just creating random images.

Text-to-image AI art is also becoming more popular because it allows artists to create art more quickly and efficiently. By using AI algorithms, artists can generate a large number of images in a short amount of time, allowing them to experiment with different ideas and concepts without spending hours or days creating each image by hand.

In conclusion, text-to-image AI art is a fascinating and exciting new form of art that is gaining popularity among artists and art enthusiasts. By using AI algorithms, artists are able to create highly detailed and complex images that are based on specific themes or concepts. This type of art allows for a level of creativity and flexibility that was previously impossible, and it is likely to continue to grow and evolve in the future.

Celebrity Sound Engineer Launches BoomBocs STUDIO – a Portable Speaker Set to Rock the Market

November 22, 2022 Matt Porter Leave a comment

Retro-styled, colourful, feature-packed, and delivering pro-audio quality sound, BoomBocs STUDIO is the latest portable speaker created by celebrity sound engineer Jonny Williams

Disruptive speaker brand BoomBocs has launched its latest portable speaker, STUDIO. With BoomBocs fans already including industry heavyweights like Lady Gaga and Steven Tyler, STUDIO is the latest model from the brand’s founder, expert sound engineer Jonny Williams. Set to shake up the lacklustre wireless speaker market with vibrant colours, retro design, and studio-quality sound, the supremely cool STUDIO is made for music fans that want more than just an anonymous black box with ‘tinny’ speaker sound. (RRP £149, on offer now for £129)

From humble beginnings building suitcase speakers in Jonny’s Brixton living room, to huge celebrity clients and customers including Rita Ora, Kylie Minogue, and Shaznay Lewis of All Saints, BoomBocs speakers encompass everything artists and consumers love about the British music scene with the brand’s stand-out retro design and studio-grade quality sound. Custom Fender ‘tweed’ wrapped versions of the original BoomBocs speaker have appeared on stage at London’s Hyde Park with Tom Petty, and GRAMMY Award Winning Lady Gaga took delivery of 11 customised BoomBocs’ for herself and her team, including her parents.

The latest product, BoomBocs STUDIO, is the ultimate portable speaker offering all the BoomBocs quality and style in a smaller, more affordable design with some nifty new features. STUDIO features built-in streaming services including Spotify, Deezer, and Amazon Music to free up your phone, internet radio, wireless connectivity, and a dedicated app. The efficient built-in amplifier and stereo full-range speakers are tuned by Jonny to deliver true pro-audio sound quality, wherever you are. With a battery life of up to 15 hours, that can be in the home, at the park, or at an all-night rave with friends.

STUDIO comes in five fantastically stand-out colours – pink, orange, green, black, and white – that make most wireless speakers look like anonymous monotone boxes. Like all BoomBocs speakers, STUDIO plays homage to retro portable speakers of the past, with its large, stereo speaker drivers on full show. The drivers use aluminium cones for their high-power handling and better moisture/impact resistance than cheaper paper cones.

Founder Jonny, who is currently on tour with pop sensation Anastacia, knows music – he has worked as a sound engineer for some of the biggest names in the industry including Stormzy, Rita Ora, James Arthur, Wu-Tang Clan, Kylie, Thundercat, Jessie Ware, Maribou State and Pendulum among many more. His expert hands-on knowledge has helped him to create the BoomBocs signature sound, and cram that performance into the most compact, affordable, and technically advanced BoomBocs to date.

“BoomBocs has always done things differently and design has played a big part in that,” says Jonny. “For the STUDIO speaker, I was tired of seeing portable and Bluetooth speakers which all looked the same – black boxes with grills on – and sounded rubbish. STUDIO completely breaks that mould, bringing the retro style and big-speaker performance of previous BoomBocs models to a smaller, more affordable design. BoomBocs is all about delivering exceptional sound quality and a stand-out style which looks great in your home or while you are out and about.”

Jonny’s passion for music and creativity was passed down from his grandfather who played the trumpet. From a young age, Jonny knew music was what he wanted to pursue, beginning to play the drums at age seven and teaching himself to play a vast array of other instruments thereafter. Fascinated by how science and music work together, Jonny studied at university in his native country, Wales. He was touring and mixing arena-sized concerts by the time he was 22, starting out on world tours with Queen and Pink Floyd tribute bands.

Jonny soon became a sought-after name in the pop music scene, working with huge names like Kylie Minogue and All Saints for many years.

Jonny says: “I have a specific style when it comes to being a sound engineer and I like to mix everything to deliver an AC/DC style sound; driving drums and percussive instruments to deliver real energy and passion. Artists like my style of mixing as it really ups the ante when they play live, and I have tried to distil that balance and all of the passion into the sound tuning of STUDIO.”

STUDIO is a compact portable speaker with dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth v5.0 connectivity, and a host of streaming services built-in so you don’t need to keep your phone tethered to play music. These include Spotify, Deezer, Amazon Music and Internet Radio, all controlled via the top panel buttons and the built-in LCD display or through the slick, UNDOK app (iOS & Android). The app expands the number of presets available to tune the sound as well as offers seamless music playback control across services. STUDIO also offers a 3.5mm AUX input for legacy sources at home, and USB Type-A for playback of music on portable drives.

Other features include access to 50k internet radio stations, podcasts from various services, a rechargeable battery lasting up to 15 hours on a single charge, and an alarm clock and sleep timer making it the ideal rock n roll bedroom partner.

Bitcoin, Crypto Currency, GenZ

Gen Z and Cryptocurrency

November 3, 2022 Matt Porter Leave a comment

Cryptocurrency has, in the past twelve years, completely revolutionized the financial industry. Millions of people from all over the world have started looking into and invest in digital currency, and even more impressively, a high percentage of them are including cryptocurrency into their financial plans for the future.

For those not in the know, cryptocurrency is a form of digital currency which relies on cryptography and blockchains to provide proof of ownership, and make it nearly impossible to counterfeit. Most cryptocurrencies are decentralized, which means they are not under the authority of any bank system or central authority. This means that purchases made with cryptocurrency are not beholden to banking fees, allowing for greater user autonomy.

The most popular cryptocurrencies on the current market are Ethereum (ETC), which is worth over $2000, the stablecoin Tether, which is worth $1, Litecoin (LTC) worth $132, and of course, the most respected, first, and highly-priced cryptocurrency, Bitcoin (BTC) worth over $30,000 on the current market.

Cryptocurrencies can be bought and sold on apps or sites called crypto trading sites. They provide a user-friendly interface, place importance on security, safety, and anonymity, and employ brand new artificial intelligence technology to predict market fluctuations and maximize the profits of their users and investors. All these benefits mean that these apps make crypto trading a lot easier, and newbie friendly.

It is perhaps for this reason, that in recent years, it has been shown that younger and younger people are more readily using trading sites, like the ones found here, that have proven successful with hundreds of users who vouch for its success.

Younger Generations and Cryptocurrency

As stated, there has been a noticeable increase in the amount of young people willing to invest in cryptocurrency and other digital assets, like NFTs. Surveys have shown that millennials and Gen Z are far more trusting of cryptocurrency, and all the technologies and developments associated with it than previous generations.

A survey done recently showed that nearly half of millennial millionaires have a quarter of their wealth invested in Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, despite the volatility of the market. Furthermore, it is estimated that a large number of them also own non-fungible tokens as well. Some of these young millionaires owe their entire wealth to crypto trading and investing as well. This information has resulted in a massive shift in wealth management, as private banks and brokers are learning to appeal to a clientele of crypto users.

The question that arises then is, what sparked this interest in cryptocurrency and crypto trading among the younger generations of today? The answer is simple. Many young people who have the means to invest have simply lost faith in more traditional investment methods. As with most young people, the younger generations of today value independence, individuality and would prefer to rely on their own research and knowledge, than depend on legacy firms, financial advisers, and other, more traditional institutions.

The Future of Cryptocurrency

However, it isn’t just Gen Z and millennials who are embracing cryptocurrencies. Studies show that the percent of adults in the US who own Bitcoin is 17%, with that number increasing when including different cryptocurrencies in the mix. Not only that, but three-fourths of Americans admit to having an interest in Bitcoin, and other cryptocurrencies, and a willingness to learn more about the phenomenon sweeping the world.

On top of individual interest in Bitcoin increasing, an increasing number of companies are opting to accept Bitcoin, and other cryptocurrencies as viable payment methods. Starbucks, Paypal, Whole Foods, Home Depot, etc. are just a few of the many companies who have decided to accept payments made with cryptocurrency. This decision bodes well for the future of the crypto market.

With all of this in mind, the increasing interest in cryptocurrency among both older and newer generations, not to mention the disillusionment with orthodox investment paths, the future of cryptocurrency and crypto trading seems bright indeed. This reflects in the price increases in the most popular cryptocurrencies in the past few years.

Some Final Thoughts

The cryptocurrency market is booming in 2022. Thanks to the embracing of cryptocurrency by popular culture and media, many more people are discovering what it actually means to invest in the crypto market. And with Gen Z-ers just entering their adult years, they are the prime audience for investing in cryptocurrency.

There is a bit of trouble here as well. Surveys have shown that Gen Z-ers are more eco-conscious than any other generation before them. So, many of them say they would invest in crypto, if crypto was a bit greener. Lucky for those people, some strides are being made in the crypto world in an attempt to make cryptocurrency more echo friendly. Hopefully, by 2025, the damaging effects crypto has will be completely eliminated.

A Quick Guide to Creating a Productive Mobile Workforce By Leveraging Technology

October 25, 2022 Matt Porter Leave a comment

The modern workplace is evolving. With the advent of smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices, more and more employees are working from home or on the go. This presents a unique challenge for business owners: how can you create a productive mobile workforce without sacrificing security or efficiency? This blog post will explore ways to leverage technology to help your employees work productively from anywhere.

Use an MDM Solution and Implement 2-Factor Authentication:

A mobile device management solution will allow you to manage and control employee mobile devices remotely. This can be useful for a number of reasons, including enforcing security policies, managing apps and content, and remotely wiping data in the event that a device is lost or stolen.

A Quick Guide to Creating a Productive Mobile Workforce By Leveraging Technology

Two-factor authentication (2FA) is an additional layer of security that can be used to protect sensitive data. With 2FA, employees must provide two different pieces of information in order to access corporate data. This could include a password and a one-time code generated by an app on their phone.

Invest in Servers and Use Encryption:

Investing in server infrastructure can be expensive, but it is worth it to maintain security and control over corporate data, so start finding affordable computer server sales. By having your own servers, you can more easily monitor and manage access to sensitive data. Additionally, you can encrypt data at rest and in transit to further protect it from being accessed by unauthorized individuals.

A virtual private network (VPN) can be used to create a secure connection between an employee’s device and the corporate network. This is useful for ensuring that sensitive data is not intercepted when it is being transmitted over the internet. Additionally, a VPN can be used to give employees access to internal resources that they would not otherwise have access to, such as file servers and printers.

Use Collaboration Tools:

There are a number of collaboration tools available that can be used to improve communication and productivity among employees. These tools include video conferencing, chat apps, and project management software.

Video conferencing can be used for meetings, training, and other events. It is a great way to stay connected with employees who are working remotely. Chat apps can be used for real-time communication and collaboration. They are typically less formal than email and can be useful for quickly sharing ideas or files. Project management software can be used to keep track of tasks, deadlines, and assigned employees.

Provide Flexible Work Arrangements:

One of the best ways to support a productive mobile workforce is to provide flexible work arrangements. This could include allowing employees to work from home on certain days, providing them with flexible hours, or giving them the ability to take breaks when they need to. Flexible work arrangements can help employees feel more engaged and productive. They also provide a number of benefits for businesses, such as reduced absenteeism and improved morale.

There are a number of ways to leverage technology to create a productive mobile workforce. By investing in the right tools and solutions, you can improve communication, collaboration, and overall productivity. Additionally, by providing flexible work arrangements, you can further support your employees’ productivity.
