VPNs help secure your data from prying eyes or cybercriminals and enhance your internet security and performance. If you’ve yet to adopt this robust tool on your devices, read this quick guide below. [Read more…] about Exploring the Impact of VPNs on Online Privacy

Techniques for Stakers in Cryptocurrency Mining

by

Cryptocurrency staking is a fundamental mechanism in blockchain networks where participants actively support the network’s operations by locking up a certain amount of cryptocurrency as collateral.

This innovative approach has evolved as an alternative to traditional mining methods, providing a more energy-efficient and sustainable means of securing blockchain networks.

Beyond its environmental benefits, staking holds paramount importance in maintaining the integrity and security of decentralized networks. It fosters community engagement and participation, creating a dynamic ecosystem where users actively contribute to the network’s robustness.

Choosing the Right VPN Provider: Factors to Consider

by

You might not realize it, but a cybercriminal or government agency could be monitoring your every move online and accessing your data. Rather than leaving your sensitive information exposed, you would be smart to protect it with a virtual private network (VPN).

It will encrypt any data you send and receive between a computer device and the internet, keeping your online data and behavior private. However, as many options are available, you might be unsure about the best service to pick. If so, here are the biggest factors to consider when choosing the right VPN provider.

New approaches to investigate damage due to environmental fluctuation on textile artefacts by image processing

Preventive conservation plays an important role in the preservation of art and cultural assets. In order to preserve their condition for as long as possible, it is essential to slow down ageing processes and evaluate factors that alter materials.

To do this, it is necessary to grasp and have an holistic understanding of the artefact. Cultural heritage science and engineering methods for understanding material behaviour require an interdisciplinary approach.

Textiles are among the most sensitive art and cultural heritage objects. In the course of their production and handling, their presentation and storage, they are often exposed to influences that can have a damaging effect.

Collaborative robots: A helping hand in healthcare

by

By Darrell Adams, head of Southeast Asia and Oceania, Universal Robots

Covid-19, the global pandemic, took the world by surprise and suddenly the healthcare system has to confront one of the toughest challenges on a global scale.

Healthcare workers are working round the clock and the intense workload at the frontline led to exhaustion in many, virus infection in others, and some sadly passed away in their line of duty.

Millions of nurses needed

The global healthcare system is cracking under the strain of this global pandemic. Yet, a recent report shows that globally, we are in need of 6 million more nurses to achieve global health targets, even without a global pandemic. This is an alarming number, and it is unlikely that over a short period of time, the demand can be met. [Read more…] about Collaborative robots: A helping hand in healthcare

infographic – Where-next-for-car-technology

By Neil Tohill, director of Southside Motor Factors

This epic infographic outlines the extraordinary technological innovations that we are currently seeing, or can soon expect to see, on modern vehicles.

The concept of self-driving cars has been mooted for quite some time and has been a feature of sci-fi TV shows or cartoons speculatively casting an eye to the future.

In 2017, autonomous cars have become a distinct possibility, and while a fully autonomous vehicle is still a way off, we can now invest in cars which will let us kick back for most of a journey.

We’re also entering the area of holographic windscreens which can display key data that we would previously have needed to glance down at the dashboard to see.

These advances are remarkable when you think that it wasn’t so long ago since power steering and remote locking were perceived as fantastic innovations.
