Revolut’s Creepy Ads Misfire in Ireland

Revolut’s Creepy Ads Misfire in Ireland

I want to make this completely clear from the outset here. I absolutely love Revolut. They are wiping the floor with most of Ireland’s archaic banks and are quickly racking up users with over 200,000 in Ireland already. But one of their recent ad campaigns that launched in Ireland recently is a little creepy and are more than a little tone deaf for the Irish market.

Revolut’s Crappy Ad Placement

The ad in question was spotted out in the wild by Séan Cannon-Earley from Teneo Ireland:

Their ad calls speaks to over 11,000 people who bought a vegan sausage roll following the who Greggs/Piers Morgan vegan sausage roll drama/PR stunt.

It’s easy enough to spot what Revolut were going for here. Showing off the tracking side of using their account and flaunting the fact they have lots of data on everyone. Spotify did this a while back where they spoke to individuals with unusual listening habits.

Some people loved it. Some people hated it. Most people thought it was a little creepy and this was all pre-GDPR and pre-Cambridge Analytica. But that’s not even where I want to start with why this is a terrible ad from Revolut.

What’s Wrong With The Revolut Ad?

Let’s take it apart.

The Revolut ad calls out:

  • The Greggs Vegan sausage roll
  • Piers Morgan
  • How many people bought the Greggs sausage roll
  • Revolut’s Brit Award sponsorship

Now, here’s what’s wrong with this. Sure, I’m writing this post-Six Nations loss to England, but Revolut would appear to have completed missed the whole Republic of Ireland being a different market, place, country, group of people thing. 

Greggs doesn’t exist in Ireland.

Piers Morgan is one of the most British things on the planet.

That whole thing just popped up on Irish peoples’ Twitter feeds for a while and that was that. It’s not something that we relate to and I’d imagine the vast majority of people who see this are like “I don’t get this?”

Finally, while you could argue I’m being a bit over the top, the inclusion of the Brit Awards on this makes me think someone in the Revolut marketing team has just completely ignored the fact we’re not British or has released this suite of ads on Ireland in error

This Isn’t a Big Deal Though?

It’s really not, but I want Revolut to succeed and be perfect. Already, when considering joining their top-level premium account I discovered that Ireland is the only country that can’t get their gadget insurance package. Considering Revolut has over 200,000 Irish customers, it’s important we hold them to account when it comes to paying Ireland the attention it deserves.

So come on Revolut. If you’re going to give us creepy ads, the very least you can do is make them relevant.

Time for Change: Modern Alternatives for Permanent TSB Customers

Time for Change: Modern Alternatives for Permanent TSB Customers

For a very brief spell, I used to work for Permanent TSB. During that brief period, I was also a Permanent TSB customer, but soon after I finished up with them, I closed my accounts. I just couldn’t justify having an account with them. They don’t offer any modern services like Google or Apple Pay and just today, they’ve announced they are making banking even more complicated for their customers.

Permanent TSB Introduce New Fees

Back in the good times, Permanent TSB offered customers fee-free current accounts. These were great and plenty of customers held onto these for dear life in recent years. It’s become the norm for accounts to offer free banking in return for you meeting certain requirements. PTSB will strip holders of these accounts of their fee-free banking unless they meet some requirements, which even by modern standards are pretty harsh.

Conditions for New PTSB Fees

To qualify for fee-free banking, customers must now maintain a balance of €2500 in their current account every day. Not lodge – maintain a balance! Failing to do so will result in a quarterly fee of €18 per quarter, or €72 per year.

An exception will be made for account holders over the age of 66 who can maintain their fee-free banking account.

Modern Alternatives for Permanent TSB Customers

While these introductions are, in the very least, annoying, they also come at an interesting time. There are some fantastic digital alternatives out there for you to consider if you’ve just been trundling along with PTSB because you happen to have a fee-free bank account. Here are my two favourites.

N26

I’ve been an N26 customer for a good few years, though I’ve not really used it that much. Largely that’s down to Revolut – more on that in a moment.

N26 is a proper bank as in they are a fully licenced bank, just like AIB, Bank of Ireland, KBC, Ulster Bank and PTSB. The difference is that they aren’t really based in Ireland. Instead, they operate out of Berlin. There’s no branch you can call into and they don’t offer the likes of mortgages and all that jazz. N26 is a simple current account that doesn’t charge you for the privilege of having it.

Now, you do need to be aware that all that digital means withdrawing cash will cost you – €2 a pop! But you can use your card for payments in store as much as you like. 

Revolut

Technically, this would have been a controversial inclusion in the list but last December Revolut was also awarded a European Banking licence. This means, just like N26m customers would be protected for up to €100,000 should they opt to lodge their salaries into a Revolut account. 

Last year in The Times, I weighed in on the importance of trust when it came to these ‘challenger’ banks in Ireland. If people know they’re safe enough lodging salaries into these accounts, traditional banks like Permanent TSB will find themselves in right bother.

Revolut offer a wide range of benefits, my personal favourite being the fact your account is currency agnostic. You can shop in Sterling, Euro or Dollars along with a wide range of other currencies. This is great for an Amazon binge or trip to the States. 

While I’m on a premium account with Revolut, you can use their accounts for free. Like N26, ATM usage is where most customers might encounter a fee. You can withdraw €200 without paying a penny extra – which is nice.

KBC

I’m reluctant to give KBC a mention here. Their basic current account charges €6 per month and their other current account requires €2500 to be lodged every month. Still, their technical advancements are incredible, leaving every other Irish bank in their wake. A range of modern payment methods are on the table along with them being first to market with a PSD2 offering.

KBC is my primary bank account at the moment, but that could easily be Revolut shortly, while N26 remains the old Goosed.ie Business account option. I guess, if you take one thing away from this read it would be to at least consider your banking options. We all tend to just stick with what our parents set up or whoever gave us an overdraft in college. Switching your account could save you a fortune, so if you have any questions, hit us up on social or chat with the good folk over at Bonkers.ie.

Lost Sales and Security Bugs: Is Apple Crumbling?

Lost Sales and Security Bugs: Is Apple Crumbling?

You’ll often read articles with headlines like this which end up being long-winded to dance around a question before ultimately leading anti-climatic answer. Let me skip that and get to where this whole thing ends.

No. Apple is beyond enormous and security flaws like the Facetime bug this week are just something we have to accept as a side effect of the brilliant technological convenience we are privileged to enjoy these days. Should it have been avoided? Yes. Will things like this happen again? Absolutely, and we need to accept that.

Now, for the long winded dance I was talking about.

The Apple Facetime Bug

If you’re an Apple user, you’ve more than likely been sweating over the news that a bug in Facetime group calls meant people could listen into your phone without you knowing anything about it. Actually, if you’re an Android user, you probably heard about this issue too and were quite smug about it. Come on. Don’t be that person.

The bug was a very unusual one for two reasons. First of all, Apple prides themselves on both security and privacy, so them slipping up is a massive jaw-dropper. Secondly, the bug needed users to take a very weird action to discover it. But, as with most bugs, it’s a lot less unusual once you hear what you needed to do.

To listen in on another person’s iPhone, all you needed to do was start a Facetime call with them. Once dialling, you simply try to add another caller and add yourself. Then, without any further action from your target, you could listen in on their device. If they were to hit the volume button, you get a full video feed.

How Did This Happen?

How this happened is very simple. I’m a massive Android fan. For years, I’ve been beating a drum that sounds something like “Apple is over-priced and under-innovative”. I’m not alone, but still millions upon millions of shoppers hand over money for Apple. Why?

Well, to coin Steve Jobs’ own famous line, “it just works”. iPhone is simple and it just works really well. If you want straight forward, iPhone is the phone for you. And that’s why millions upon millions of people do choose iPhone every year for every upgrade.

Back to how this Facetime bug happened. Apple is run by thousands of humans. The end.

Seriously, we all need to accept that even one of the world’s biggest tech companies is going to make mistakes. For a release to go to millions of devices, it needs to go through an incredibly complex testing process to check for security issues and bugs. Throughout all these processes, no one thought to see what would happen if you tried to start a group Facetime call and then add yourself.

Should Things Like This Really Happen?

Absolutely not. Will they happen again? Absolutely. It’s unavoidable because Apple is run by thousands of humans, of which some are testers. But once that version of the software that runs iPhone is out in the wild, millions of people are looking at it. People do odd things, both on purpose and by accident which turns up problems from time to time. That’s why we get so many updates. The difference with regular updates is it’s internal testing that often turns this stuff up, not bugs out in the wild.

Unfortunately for Apple, headlines also happened. Hell, I couldn’t even resist an Apple crumble reference in the title of this article.

When you’re one of the top-selling consumer gadgets in the world, everyone wants to see you fail

When you’re one of the top-selling consumer gadgets in the world, everyone wants to see you fail. Papers and websites (ourselves here at Goosed.ie included) know that people want to know about this kind of thing and they go heavy on the coverage. For me, as much as I’m not a massive fan of iPhone, this was the time for a reality check, mainly because Apple is far from being alone here.

Samsung Galaxy Note 7

I remember being at the Irish launch of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 in Dublin and I fell in love with it. It was the most impressive phone I’d ever seen. But after an August launch, the phone was dead in the water come October.

Following battery issues and a few phones going up in flames, the Note 7 had garnered such a bad name for itself, airlines would no longer let passengers board with them. Yup, that’s about as toxic a PR situation as a phone maker could find themselves in.

What caused this? Samsung found themselves rushing to meet deadlines. Everyone single one of us has likely come up against a tough deadline in work which has lead to some questionable decision making. That’s humans for you. Even one of the best-known PR disasters came down to what was effectively human error.

Two years on, Samsung has released two new phones in the Note series and they’ve been mightily impressive.

Facebook: Cambridge Analytica

Ah Facebook. How quickly that fall from grace came. The Cambridge Analytica scandal is very well documented at this stage. Third parties using innocent-looking Facebook apps to harvest user data and to influence massive world events including the election of Donald Trump and Brexit.

Wow, right?

Again, Cambridge Analytica wasn’t the result of the machines rising up. No, this whole thing came down to humans. On one side, we have the more evil than not people behind Cambridge Analytica who effectively weaponised a social media platform.

On the other side, you have Facebook. Facebook didn’t necessarily stand idly by while all this was happening. Instead, they were, to a certain extent, unaware of how bad things were. Sure, they knew about some issues of data being passed to third parties and there were some gaps in their security protocols, and yes they absolutely should have done more. But the powers that be in Facebook had no idea just how much damage was being done with these security issues.

Like Samsung, Facebook seems to be surviving their PR nightmare. Can any big tech company be taken down by controversy?

Huawei and Chinese Spy Theory

When you think big tech companies, you think Apple, Samsung, Google and Facebook. I haven’t gone into the issues Google had over the past twelve months, but their Google Plus platform has security issues akin to those of Facebook. The unholy quartet of tech companies running into problems in recent times. But now, we can’t talk about massive tech companies without discussing Huawei. Nor can we talk about tech controversy without shining a light on the Chinese phone manufacturer.

Huawei shot to the rich and famous smartphone maker list in 2018 thanks to their incredible P20 Pro and Mate 20 Pro smartphones. In fact, their 2018 was so good, they overtook Apple to become the second biggest smartphone manufacturer in the world. Like, that’s huge!

Then, in almost soap-opera fashion, with everything flying high, accusations began to emerge about Huawei. 

First, Meng Wanzhou – Huawei CFO and daughter of the company’s founder, was arrested on suspicion of bank and wire fraud in an attempt to violate American sanctions against Iran. Now, the US government has just made public their exact claims against Huawei but I’ve my own opinions on this. 

I find it very convenient that these accusations come out from the US after the Chinese manufacturer knocks the American Apple off second spot. Sure, you can’t even buy Huawei in America because they’re all so paranoid about them. It might be some tinfoil hat stuff from me, but it all seems strangely timed. Then again, just because you’re not paranoid, doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you.

Should We Be Worried About Huawei?  

Now this is the big question. I’ve been using Huawei as my daily driver for nearly a year now. They have come a long way in a short period of time. That’s just for smartphones. Huawei also develops the technology that runs mobile networks and was planning to play a big part in 5G rollouts globally. In a recent interview, telecoms expert Mark Gregory described Australia’s ban on using Huawei for 5G as “unfair”, before highlighting “There’s no direct evidence that I’m aware of that Huawei has been involved in security breaches or state espionage”.

I’ll admit, I’ve worked rather closely with Huawei but I refuse to let that colour my view. However, after watching Vice recently, I’m under no illusions at just how drunk power makes world leaders. It’s just as likely this is all a smear campaign as it is Huawei has done something wrong.

How Huawei will fair is still TBC. But given their progress to date and understanding how the US government works, I’d be very surprised if the Chinese mobile maker is even close to losing momentum.

And the Apple Bug?

Hopefully, that didn’t all sound like a completely mad rant and I’ve set myself up here to explain my stance on the Apple bug thing. Unfortunately, these things happen. It’s all part and parcel of our new technological life. It’s a side effect of the convenience. We get to enjoy video calling in groups but sometimes there might be a bug. Remember though, that bug will be fixed so don’t lose your life when it appears.

Facebook. Man, they screwed up and I really can’t forgive them for some of the mistakes they made. Still, they are a relatively young company in an industry that’s the exact same age as them. They are learning on the fly, so again, we have to accept that some things are going to go wrong from time to time.

People are generally apprehensive about technology. I get it. It’s new and scary and it provides lots of scary groups with your data. But we need to be focused on what we can do to protect ourselves while these companies go about their business because accidents will keep happening. Use password managers, use different passwords and while you’re at it start using passphrases altogether. If there’s a platform or a company you really don’t like the look of, don’t use them. Beyond that, don’t get caught in the hype.

With the example of Huawei, potentially unfounded paranoia could be costing a lot of consumers money and quality network experience. Already, I’d argue that the US stance on Huawei has cost a lot of people access to great smartphones. 

Isn’t That A Free Pass?

No. Companies need to be held accountable for their actions and mistakes. But if we keep focusing on failures, innovations become fewer and farther between and that’s not good. We need to find a happy medium with our technology providers and develop a mutual trust. Facebook is skating on thin ice because they’ve had several knockbacks, but Apple should come through this issue relatively easily. Why? Because they have made massive efforts to protect privacy so far. The least we owe them is a shot to clear it up and not just a raft of headlines.

We’re largely in the unknown with tech. It’s a great big dark expanse that we’re all plodding along through, blindfolded for good measure. Look after your own privacy, pick your tech carefully but also, look beyond the surface of how people talk about tech. How many people told you they’d delete their Facebook account but still they like your posts.

Skullcandy Hesh 3: Wireless Headphones Review

Skullcandy Hesh 3: Wireless Headphones Review

Skullcandy is considered one of the biggest consumer headphone brands in the market. Unlike a lot of their competition they seem to specialise in bringing quality at a reasonable value. We got a hold of the latest Hesh 3 Wireless headphones to see how they stack up. Spoiler alert I bought these myself as my daily driver such is my addiction to Spotify.

As the name suggests the Hesh 3’s are the third iteration of the Hesh range. Do they live up to the Skullcandy name and are they actually good value for money? let’s find out.

Design

Image result for skull candy hesh 3

First things first, the Skullcandy Hesh 3 headphones are a fairly slick looking bit of kit. Sure enough, they look like the previous renditions but if it ain’t broke don’t fix it as they say. They are a little smaller, a little lighter and the control placement has been tweaked to improve usability.

The build quality is also quite good if you ask me. Yes they are plastic but the padding around the ears and on top of the head is very comfortable. The plastic is also quite durable and doesn’t feel in any way cheap. I guess the reason they chose plastic over a metal framework was to keep the cost down.

The most important part of the headphone, the headband, is reinforced by a metal band that inspires even more confidence.

Buttons are nice and chunky and provide good tactile feedback.  I like that they are sleeved in a soft rubber that will stop dust from getting trapped as it does on Bose’s QC35.

On the right-hand side, below the ear standard, you will see the micro USB charging port and the 3.5mm aux jack (ideal for connecting with a PlayStation) as well as the playback controls. The controls include a volume up and volume down button. There is also a central multi-use button, which you can use for calls and playback.

In the packaging, you get yourself a charging cable and aux cable, but no carry case which is a slight bummer but definitely not a deal breaker.

In general, the Skullcandy Hesh 3’s are a well-built set of headphones. If style is your primary reason for purchasing headphones then the Skullcandy Hesh 3 is probably not going to appeal to you. In my humble opinion, they are one of the nicest looking sets around the €100 price point.

Comfort

Image result for skull candy hesh 3 comfort

When buying headphones comfort is a big deal. For me, I like to zone out listening to my podcasts so that I can concentrate on what I’m doing. Therefore, comfort is going to be key.

The Skullcandy Hesh 3 Wireless headphones offer a nice over ear form factor which is great for comfort. Both the ear cups and in the headband have more than ample padding which was very helpful in keeping the headphones comfortable. I’ve used these walking, in the gym and in work so it’s fair to say they have been tested in most normal circumstances and there is very little to complain about.

Alas, of course, I will have a little whinge. The clamp is tight which is fantastic for isolation purposes, blocking out a lot of outside noise for a quieter listening experience. Having said that the tightness of the headband can be a problem for some. The current design does grip tightly and reports suggest during longer listening sessions people report discomfort. I haven’t had any problems but a mate borrowed them for a day and that was his complaint. I discovered that this can be managed by ensuring the top of your ears fit right into the top of the cup opening. It may be down to the memory foam creating pressure points in places but if like me you have small ears then you won’t have a problem. My best advice here is to try before you buy to be sure the Hesh 3’s are the right fit for you.

Audio Quality

Without pissing around too much we know Skullcandy as an experienced brand so it’s no surprise they offer more than decent audio quality. More to the point they haven’t ripped the guts from the old Hesh 2’s and stuck them in a new shell, they have actually gotten a proper upgrade.

The bass is well tuned and defined, it seems they are equipped with a boosted bass sound that will taper off in sub-base areas. The mids are clearly tuned and the low-mids offer enough warmth to make the majority of users happy. Maybe the high- mids could have been boosted a tad to improve vocal and guitar range that’s being picky.

The high frequencies are where these headphones truly shine. They’re clear and crisp, offering plenty of sizzle in the cymbals and vocal sibilance — which is a good thing.

Treble is also surprisingly crisp, far more than is on display in other Skullcandy headphones.

Putting a disclaimer out here. The Hesh 3’s aren’t built for audiophiles, more your average consumer. They have a classic EQ tuning i.e boosted lows and highs with a slight dip in the mids. In the simplest sense, they do exactly what they say on the tin. All in all the Hesh 3 offers a rather enjoyable audio experience.

Connection Quality

Would you believe the Skullcandy Hesh 3 wireless headphones don’t come with NFC? Although in their defence at the price they are going for allowing the one-tap-pairing with your smartphone is asking for too much. That leaves us with the now old school method of manually pairing the headset to your devices. Luckily your device should automatically connect to the headphones for future connections if Bluetooth is activated on both the source device and headphones.

You should also remember that you can only connect to one device at a time so you can’t hook it up to both a computer and phone at the same time. Again minor roadblock but not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. The Hesh 3 also has a Bluetooth range of 10 metres which is quite good for something in this price point.

Battery Life

In all fairness for a €100 set of headphones, the Hesh 3 stands up for itself quite well. According to Skullcandy, you should get a whopping 22 hours from a single charge. While it’s not a record breaker by any stretch it’s still better than most of the competition. Now, in reality, I was able to get 19 hours out of them. When you compare this to Martin’s Bose QC 35’s that give you 30 hours of charge it doesn’t look great. Yet, the Skullcandy’s are less than half the price so I’m happy to pay €200 less and still get good solid battery life.

Beyond the battery life, the real news here is that they offer a form of quick charging. 4 hours of playback in 10 minutes of charging. That’s a pretty big deal especially for those that don’t want to wait for ages to listen again or if you’re like me you forget to charge them before you jump out for a run. Again without picking on the Bose headphones, they offer 2.5 hours for a 20 min charge… just saying.

Wireless and other features

The Hesh 3 are Bluetooth headphones, but they don’t offer more special features such as aptX HD and active noise cancellation. If you’re after a solid, affordable wireless set of headphones then you won’t necessarily be wanting these extras anyway. You get the isolation/noise cancelling effect through the snug-fitting ear cups.

Skullcandy has the basics nailed down. Bluetooth stability is very good and as we mentioned already so is the battery life.  You’ll hear a voice prompt when the battery is low and on my Samsung S8 I can see the battery level remaining which is handy. Sure you can plug in the 3.5mm if you do run out of juice but why when you can get 4 hours from a quick charge.

The right ear cup as mentioned earlier is home to the buttons that you play/pause and alter the volume. A three-second press skips a track, rather than the usual multi-tap gesture.

Value

As I’ve mentioned before the Skullcandy Hesh 3’s are a solid set of headphones around the €100 price point. Price does have the power to make or break a product. While they make not make you swoon the same way as the Bose QC 35’s or the Sony WH-1000MX2’s both of these are far more expensive by at least double if not triple. If you’re in the market for a set of wireless headphones that won’t break the bank then the Hesh 3 is a real alternative.

It’s almost unfair to pit these against the two heavy hitters but I do so for a very good reason. Yes, the sound quality is weaker. Sure, they are going to be slightly less comfortable. Yes, the range and overall battery life might be weaker but for the huge difference in price, the value for money that Skullcandy is offering is commendable. So if the idea of walking the streets or going to the gym wearing a set of €300-400 brings about nervous sweats, then give proper consideration to the Skullcandy Hesh 3’s.

Skullcandy Hesh 3: The Verdict

The Hesh 3 wireless headphones are a solid bit of kit. They are well designed in general, offer decent comfort and they sound nice too. All for under €100 in fact at one point I saw them and carry case on Amazon for under £80 which is pretty sweet if you ask me. It’s important to remember that they aren’t going to beat the big guys but for anyone looking for quality on a budget then these are by far and away the best option.

As Martin has alluded to before with so many phone manufacturers moving away from the audio jack, we have little choice but to adopt wireless audio. It’s unavoidable so it’s best we all start looking for the best wireless audio we can. In my opinion, the Skullcandy Hesh 3 is just bloody great value for money.

A Closer Look at Ambr Eyewear

A Closer Look at Ambr Eyewear

If like any of us here you work in an office, then no doubt you’re in front of a screen all day. In the past we have written about how sitting is the new smoking. But did you know that all those hours in front of your desktop/laptop is doing some serious damage to your eyes? Hence why we decided to take a closer look at Ambr Eyewear (excuse my pun).

Put it like this, even if you have perfect eyesight, hours looking at a screen will put a real strain on your eyes. If you have trouble sleeping or get random headaches, then it might be down to the length of time spent in front of a screen. The solution? Ambr Eyewear.

Aren’t they just glasses?

Ah no, Ambr glasses are for anyone who spends a large amount of time using screens for work or leisure. We’ve got multiple devices these days so it’s inevitable that prolonged screen use is becoming an issue to eye health. These glasses are perfect for designers, students and anyone fond of a Netflix binge! If you spend over 2 hours a day in front of a screen you might want to think about investing in a pair.

Right before going on it’s good to say this, I spend quite a few hours in front of a screen daily. (8-12 hours per day on average) This has been the case since college so we are talking about 10 years of sitting in front of a screen without thinking of protection.

When you spend that long in front of a screen it’s no surprise that you get a few problems. These problems can be headaches, issues with sleep or generally feeling like your eyes are goosed. Have you ever walked out of work and had the thought “Jesus my eyes are fucked” or when you’re looking at images on your screen and you think they seem blurred but in fact, it’s just you? Well, then you know exactly where I’m coming from here.

After having enough of the headaches, a visit to Specsavers was in order. The optician said my eyesight was perfect and that was fine but I still wanted a solution. That’s when I found Ambr Eyewear. After reading some reviews on social media and through their site it was time to take the plunge and give them a go.

Now initially I was off the belief that these glasses would be nothing more than a snazzy looking placebo or at the very least be a better-looking alternative to the naff looking screen lenses we’ve seen before. Luckily enough for me, they look nice. So even if they didn’t work as planned I thought at least here’s a nice accessory that might make me look a bit smarter.

Within a couple of days the difference was noticeable. Now over 2 months later I can say this with confidence, Ambr Eyewear glasses are the real deal. Those pesky headaches I used to get – gonzo. Also sleeping has vastly improved, if you notice you struggle to sleep after watching tv or binging on Netflix, it has to do with the screen blue light being emitted. With these glasses I find going to sleep a bit easier which is great for anyone who gets the pleasure of dealing with me on a daily basis. This might sound like an ad but trust me it’s not. I actually bought my pair of specs myself, in fact, I went for the Asteri frame in black because they reminded me of the pair worn by Henry Cavill’s, Clark Kent.

The Dublin based company has six different styles in their range with an option of colours for each frame. If you’re braver than me there are some funky red, clear and even emerald colours available.

The brains behind the brand

We love showing off the best of Irish Tech and to be fair Ambr Eyewear properly finds itself in this category. Founded by Dan Nugent and Sacha Cahill, their backgrounds have helped put the company on the map.

Dan’s background is in online marketing. With a degree in commerce from UCD under his belt and work history including time spend in Dublin based creative agency In the Company of Huskies. Sacha then is the style guru of the team, her background contains an art degree in Trinity as well as time working in the Dumbo art gallery in New York. This double act couples the beautiful with the brilliant to bring a new product that has already grown beyond their imaginations. You can now see their kit on the high street in Brown Thomas.

They have also recently won the Lead Entrepreneur Award at the recent TU Dublin/IADT New Frontiers annual showcase. At the showcase over 100 startup stakeholders were involved. Ambr managed to impress the judging panel of venture capitalists to take the home the gong.

Off the back of this, it was announced that the company is now attracting customers in 60 countries and should be in the remainder of the Selfridge outlets before the end of the year.

Who should use them?

As a society, most of us have become dependant on screens, whether that’s for work or entertainment purposes. One study went as far as to suggest that over 60% of adults are spending six hours plus per day in front of some form of digital display. Hard to argue with aswell by the time to take into account your TV, tablet, smartphone and laptop. While we love our computers it’s a known fact that overuse can do significant damage to our eyes.

Right now Ambr Eyewear has been cornered by the bloggers, writers, designers and those sorts but the reality is anyone who is in front of a screen that much should consider investing. If you already wear glasses make sure you’re protected and get a set that you can wear on the daily that happens to have the blue filter as standard.

The Techie stuff

Image result for ambr eyewear

Sure it’s not exactly a secret that the blue light is going to mess up your eyes, especially before bed. A recent study from the Harvard School of Medicine has shown that blue light exposure, especially over an extended period depletes the brain’s ability to produce melatonin. This is the hormone that regulates sleep, hence why after a Netflix binge sleeping can be that bit more difficult. Not only does is affect your melatonin but the high-frequency light flickering also increases eye strain thus making them tire quickly. So on one side your struggling to sleep while on the other your eyes are knackered, not my idea of a fun combo.

During his time in an agency, Dan started realising he was having these problems and while blue light filters on lenses have been available as an additional feature for prescription glasses but they needed something more.

“I thought it was a problem I’d just have to deal with but after trying the glasses, all that discomfort vanished.”

Ambr Eyewear glasses use anti-glare technology that not only block around 55% of blue light but will also greatly reduce macular degeneration and if that’s not enough they will also block 95% of UV light too. Another recent study we have seen from the University of Houston claims that people who wear blue light blocking glasses before bed had a 58% higher level of melatonin. Basically no more waiting for your eyes to adjust to darkness when you shut down the laptop to go to bed and no more lying in the dark trying to sleep.

What sets them apart from other tinted glasses?

Traditional amber tinted glasses designed for computer use have generally been an ugly bit of kit. Like look at those yokes, they remind me of something Edgar Davids used to wear playing football back in the day. Thankfully Ambr’s glasses look like normal glasses and the tint isn’t noticeable at all. Handy for when you’re out and about.

Not only that but for people like graphic designers an accurate colour perception is required and with the old style glasses as you can imagine everything is going to look a bit yellow which isn’t ideal. What you get is a pair of glasses that seems like there is no colour difference between wearing and not wearing them while looking at a screen. The long and short of it is you Ambr Eyewear glasses won’t have you looking like an early 00’s Dutch footballer while improving the functionality of screen protection glasses of the past.

Ordering process

Ridiculously simple actually. Buying glasses can be a bit of a risky business when choosing the right set in a shop let alone online. Yet the team at Ambr nail it. Once you decide on a pair you like, you need to try them on right? well, using AR you can virtually try on any pair of spectacles to make sure you’re getting the right set. Open the camera you line up your face with the outline and like a Snapchat filter, the glasses are on.

Once you find the set you want to buy, simply order online as normal or upload your prescription if you already wear glasses. That’s really it, no bells or whistles just an easy to use, innovative process that’s exactly as it should be.

The Goosed Verdict

Most of the time we review products that are more hands-on so something that is made to help the modern office worker or anyone who spends over 2 hours a day in front of the screen is something I was very interested in.

As we mentioned earlier Ambr Eyewear has already become the spectacles of choice for writers, editors, bloggers and vloggers alike. Well, now you can count Goosed.ie on that list because they really do work.

Within a week I could feel the difference. My eyes felt less strained, I started sleeping better and the occasional headache from a proper gaming bing session all became a thing of the past. To think that something as simple as a filter on a pair of glasses could make such a difference. It just goes to show the damage a screen can do to your eyes due to prolonged use without protection.

Stylish and serving a purpose, what more could we ask for?

PSD2: See AIB and Bank of Ireland Bank Accounts in KBC App

It was a good while ago when I wrote about it, but I have mentioned how PSD2 would change the face of banking in Ireland forever. To many, it wouldn’t appear to be a very exciting directive to be handed down from the EU, but Ireland’s most digital bank, KBC, has just released an app update which lets you see AIB and Bank of Ireland account balances in your KBC app. Here’s how to get it done, and first, why I think this is cool.

Why is This Useful?

I’m a KBC customer and my better half is AIB. Every month, we transfer a few bob for rent and expenses, dinner out and the likes, into a joint account. Sure enough, that account is Bank of Ireland – completing an impressive trifecta of bank accounts. 

I log into my Bank of Ireland app, maybe, once every two or three months to make sure there are enough funds in there to pay the bills. It’s often a struggle as I try to remember the logins. Thanks to PSD2 and KBC adding additional functionality to their already impressive app, I can now connect the Bank of Ireland joint account (though it’s officially my old Bank of Ireland account) to my KBC account and simply view the balance from within my KBC app. This is called multibanking.

KBC’s ambition is to change the way that Irish people bank 

Now, rather than fumbling around with Bank of Ireland passwords, I can unlock my KBC app with my fingerprint and see the Bank of Ireland balance.

How to Add AIB or Bank of Ireland to KBC App

To get the ball rolling with this and see your AIB and Bank of Ireland account details in the KBC app, you’ll need your online banking details. AIB is one of the few institutions I’ve never been with, so I’ll be testing this with my Bank of Ireland account.

Adding your Bank of Ireland Account to KBC App

  1. Open the KBC App
  2. Select the menu button on the left-hand side and choose Other Bank Accounts
  3. Punch in your banking details for your Bank of Ireland account
  4. Confirm you agree to all the terms and what not
  5. Lob in your KBC password
  6. Wait a few moments

And just like that, you’ll be able to view your Bank of Ireland account balance in the KBC app. I think this is going to be a brilliant feature for joint account holders and the likes. While it’s very early days yet in the world of PSD2, it’s exciting to see KBC adopt these types of features proactively. Just remember, Bank of Ireland has yet to adopt Google Pay, Apple Pay or show just about any kind of initiative at all really when it comes to digital banking.

Multibanking: Consumer Benefits of PSD2

The concept of multibanking is non-optional for EU banks as this is a European Union directive. While KBC is first to act in the Irish market, others will have to follow. It looks like Ulster Bank and Permanent TSB are not capable of supporting this system yet, but again I stress this is non-optional. Banks are expected to have PSD2 support in place by the end of the summer.

These new rules stretch beyond the online digital banking experience.

PSD2 will also

  • ban extra charges on the use of debit and credit cars online and in shops
  • allow third parties to access payment information and help consumers find better value across loans and mortgages
  • introduce additional layers of security for consumers financial information
  • beef up consumers’ rights when it comes to the likes of non-authorised payments.

Upon announcing this latest app release, KBC’s Director of Transformation and Innovation, Kelvin Gillen outlined that the bank’s “ambition is to change the way that Irish people bank by providing instant, accessible financial products and services with this being a big step on our journey towards achieving this”.

Anker Nebula Capsule Review: Best Mini Projector on the Market

Anker Nebula Capsule Review: Best Mini Projector on the Market

Growing up, I’d always wanted a man cave. You know? Gaming, movies and gadgets all in one spot in the gaff. While I don’t have a dedicated man cave, I do have quite a few gadgets, games and spend a lot of time watching movies. I dreamed of having a projector in my man cave, but always thought they’d cost too much. Like, they used to be the big feature on MTV’s Cribs, so how could I get one? The good news is, projectors have become very affordable and I’ve been testing out Nebula Capsule from Anker which is simply the best mini projector on the market.

What Makes it Great?

I won’t lie. My first impressions of the projector were a little meh. That’s because I dived in, trying to get all the ropey apps on board to work. You know the apps I’m on about, they sit in this strange grey area of not being illegal while you know they’re just not legal. Anyway, once I started using the likes of YouTube, Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, the Nebula Capsule projector started coming into its own. 

Projection Quality

Let’s get things straight from the word go here. You’re not going to be running a bootleggers cinema on this or anything, but the quality is mighty impressive. I’ve got mine on a shelf over the bed and it’s projecting to a wall about two and a half meters away. The effective screen size at this range is about seventy inches. Remember that later when we start talking about the price.

This isn’t the first projector I’ve owned. That title goes to one I got from Amazon two years ago for about €100. The cooling fan was a little loud but speakers sorted that out. The projection quality wasn’t amazing though. While great in the dark, any light at all rendered the picture unviewable. 

While Anker’s Nebula Capsule mini projector won’t work brilliantly in sunlight, I’ve been able to watch movies with the curtains open or the lights on. Pretty impressive for such a wee little projector. 

So, with the picture nailed, it’s on to the second most important feature on a personal projector: the sound.

The Sound is Sound Too

While my first dip into the projector world resulted in the need of a speaker, my second dip in certainly does not. I will admit, I have a Soundcore speaker that I sometimes link up with the Capsule, but it’s just fine without it. It works especially well in the bedroom considering the duvet and pillows help improve the sound quality even more.

Quite remarkably, I’ve read a few people online say the fan is loud. I’m not too sure where this is coming from because my fan is silent. It might be down to my first projector sounding like a tractor at times, but I can’t for the life of me imagine anyone turning this on and their first thought being the fan is loud. 

There you have it. The two key features when considering a projector and the Anker Nebula Capsule rocks at both. But it doesn’t stop there as the design of this mini projector certainly deserves a mention

Incredible Design

I have to talk about design here. Why? Well, not too long ago, projectors were closer to the size of carry-on luggage and now, this projector from Nebula is the size of a Coke can. Literally! That’s actually what they’ve modeled it on to make sure it stays nice and portable. 

Yup, portable. The Nebula Capsule has a 5200 mAh battery built in which will give you enough juice to watch, at least, a full movie. 

Other nice little design features include a tripod mount fitting in the base, so you can get the perfect angle, and remote control. Even though, I’ve been using the Nebula Connect app more than the remote – an app available for iOS and Android from Google Play. 

Nebula Capsule: The Verdict

I still can’t really get my head around just how affordable technology has become in recent years. This mini personal projector probably sums this up the best. The quality this thing produces in amazing. The design of it is stunning. But I’ll admit, the price of it might leave it still out of reach for the average punter. 

With that said, if you’re on the fence and it’s just the price you’re hesitating over, you’re unlikely to get a better personal projector for a better price. If you want to totally change how you experience Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and more at home – this is the way to do it.

Where to Buy The Nebula Capsule in Ireland

If you want to buy the Nebula Capsule in Ireland, on the High Street, you should pop into Brown Thomas on Grafton Street. They’re stocking the Nebula Capsule Pro which gives you some extra bang for your buck. 

If popping into Brown Thomas doesn’t suit, Amazon is probably the handiest place to pick up one of these mini projectors. You can order it online from them for €435. Don’t forget you’ll probably need to use AddressPal to route this through a mainland UK shipping address.

Finally, if you do think that’s steep, think about a seventy-inch TV. Could you really afford to have that space taken up? With this projector, you only use the space when you need it and it’s about the third the cost of a TV anyway!

Note: Nebula has launched a new Kickstarter campaign for the successor of their first Capsule projector. It’ll be a similar price with an improved Android TV operating system. Just so you know!

Google Announce A Brand New Google Chromecast

Google Announce A Brand New Google Chromecast

I’ve got a smart TV and an Xbox, both of which support some level of streaming from a device like my laptop or smartphone. I never thought I’d need anything more until I bought a phone one day and was able to pick up an accessory for free. I grabbed a Google Chromecast and honestly think it’s one of the best things I’ve ever bought.

Google has just released a brand new Chromecast and the best thing is, the price stays the same at just €39. Here’s what you get.

What is Google Chromecast?

All the way back in 2013, Google realised that people wanted to stream from their laptops and mobile phones to TVs. Some didn’t have smart TVs and Miracast systems weren’t consistent enough to catch mainstream attention. 

That’s why Google released the Chromecast, a simple plug and play device that lets you stream media over a WiFi connection. That was any screen with a HDMI port which could now be made smart, thanks to Google. More importantly, this meant you could easily sling YouTube and Netflix from your phone or laptop to any old TV with a HDMI port.

Google has toyed with a few different versions of Chromecast, including Chromecast Audio which focused purely on making your old speakers a little smarter.

Today, Google has announced the third generation of Chromecast and here’s what you get for your €39.

What Can Chromecast Do?

You can probably guess from what I’ve said so far, but basically Chromecast lets you sling content from your phone or tablet to your tellybox. In Ireland, we get to enjoy YouTube, Netflix, All4 and, since the recent update, we can even enjoy casting RTÉ Player from mobile, although you won’t be able to skip ads. Unfortunately, Sky doesn’t let you sling Sky Go, but if you sign up to Now TV you can cast from their mobile app to Chromecast.

The New Chromecast Design

Chromecast is no bigger than it’s second generation predecessor. Still, Google has managed to squeeze in a 15% improvement in hardware speed and now this third generation Chromecast supports 1080p streaming at 60fps. Will this be noticeable to everyone? Not at all, but if you are a spec nerd you’ll be liking how all of that sounds.

In terms of beauty, well…it’s beautiful?

Who am I kidding? Sure, the Chromecast is lovely, but you’ll have it stuffed down the back of the TV never to be seen so don’t worry about how it looks.

On the other hand, the Chromecast home screen, visible when you’re not streaming, shows gorgeous pictures from around the world and will now also show some of your own best shots if you’re using Google Photos.

Ok Google, Play Peaky Blinders on Netflix

I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess that most people with either a Google Home or Google Home Mini don’t know this beautiful life hack.

If you have a Chromecast on the same network as your Google Home or Home Mini, you can ask it to stream content to your TV. I come in from a day at the office and ask Google to play whatever it is I’m binging on lately on Netflix. Naturally, Google Assistant obliges. 

This is one of those tech things that makes you feel like we’re all living in the future.

If you ask your Google Home some other questions, you’ll now also get visual answers on your TV. Love it.

Where to Buy Google Chromecast

Well, first thing’s first. I would strongly recommend you don’t buy a Chromecast from CeX. It was a first generation Chromecast I spotted in CeX costing more than a brand new one from Google that lead to me asking just “how good is CeX for value“.

The new third generation Google Chromecast is now on sale from Google direct and from Harvey Norman. As I mentioned at the start, you’ll be able to grab this for just €39 and I do honestly think it could be one of the best purchases you’ll ever make, especially if you have a Google Home.

Full review of the new Google Chromecast coming soon, so be sure to give us a follow.

eSports for Dummies: Seriously, They’re Proper Sports

eSports for Dummies: Seriously, They’re Proper Sports

Image result for esports

Yup eSports are now officially a thing! Think back a couple years, the notion of a professional gamer was somewhat laughable, yet now they are one of the biggest growing “sports” with online viewing number growing by the day, so luckily we have put together our eSports for dummies guide!

Traditionally, eSport games have been dominated by team based 3D multi-player online battle arena style games such as Overlord, Dota 2 and League of Legends. Whilst these games are still hugely popular, Battle Royale games such as CSGO, H1Z1 and relative newcomers such as Fortnite, PUBG & Call of Duty have grabbed huge player numbers, legions of fans, their own eSport Leagues and gaming events. The biggest tournaments such as League of Legends World Championship and Dota’s The International play to packed global venues and massive online audiences. The best teams and it’s stars have a global fan-base and have even created their own brand and online stores for their loyal fans to purchase merch i.e. branded merchandise mostly consisting of “street style” hoodies, t-shirts and phone covers.

Is there much money in it ?

Image result for ninja gamer

Epic games, creators of the Battle Royale style Fortnite game phenomenon, announced last year it would provide a $100 million prize pool for the 2018-2019 Fortnite eSport season. Tickets for eSport events sell out in minutes and viewers for these events on sites such as game streaming site Twitch, regularly pull in hundreds of thousands of viewers on a daily basis. Traditional sports channel ESPN, now frequently airs eSport events. According to ESPN president Jimmy Patero, “We believe it is ascending….eSports has got be to a priority of ours”). In 2018, total revenue from eSports is estimated at $900 million and is projected to easily break the $1 billion barrier this year. With this in mind, many of the biggest games released last year and planned for 2019 will have game modes designed for eSport competitions. Game creators and the entertainment industry in general are beginning to appreciate the huge untapped audience for eSports. CES 2019 has several exhibitors showcasing eSport related products along with plenty of talks on the rise of eSports. There are even discussions taking place for eSports to be included in the Paris Olympics 2024 as a demonstration sport which would give it a pathway to becoming an official Olympic sport in future games.

Is it actually a sport because it not athletic really ?

Image result for esport vs sport

Well it all depends on how you define a sport. To be a top eSports player, you need to practice constantly, have almost unrivaled hand/eye coordination, abundance of skill and concentration levels to match and beat the very best fellow elite gamers. Oh, it also helps to be on the young side as like most other sports, your skills degrade over time. So if you haven’t jumped on-board the eSport bandwagon just yet and you have just opened a bunch of age 30 birthday cards, its most likely too late for you unfortunately.

Who are the biggest eSports stars and how much do they earn ?

Top stars such as Kuro “KuroKy” Salehi Tahasomi, Johan “n0tail” Sundstein and Amer “Miracle-” al-Barqawi have yearly earnings of roughly $4 million. And this is just in earnings from the events. Many eSports stars stream to their legions of fans on a daily basis via platforms such as Twitch or YouTube. One of the most popular Twitch streamers and occasional eSport player, Ninja, can reach 250K daily viewers on his live gaming stream. Ninja’s earnings last year were around $10 million from streaming and sponsorship alone.

Realistically, only the very best elite eSport players will earn this kind of money, so don’t be dreaming about your Ferrari 488 or Hollywood crib just yet. However with a bit of luck, lots of dedication, patience and plenty of skill, it’s perfectly possible to make a pretty good living as an eSport player.

So how I become an eSport player ?

Image result for how to qualify for esports

Unfortunately getting the odd top Ten place in Fortnite or PUBG won’t cut it. To be the best, you need to beat the best, regularly. Best advice is usually to specialize in one game at first, lock yourself into your bedroom for up to 6 months accepting only food & water whilst practicing at least 18 hours a day. Ok perhaps that’s slightly excessive and probably psychologically damaging but the point is you need to practice, practice and then practice some more. Try to network online with fellow players and of course beat them into utter humiliation as often as you can. When you think your good enough, enter yourself into any eSports events staged locally to you and go from there. If your winning these events, you will get noticed and begin to get a name for yourself. Having a strong online presence and large following will also help you get noticed and hopefully snapped up by an eSport team.

Do we have eSports in Ireland ?

Yes, although truth be told, eSports is still very much in its nascent stage here but growing rapidly. Drogheda Game Jam is on end of January, Gamerfest has events planned for early 2019 in Limerick, ESTARS has a Fortnite event planned for Dublin in February and the Dublin Games Summit will be held next July. Keep a close on social media as new eSport events are announced throughout the year. No reason also why you can’t jump on a plane across the pond to our nearest neighbors in the UK where the number of eSport events and teams is much bigger.

Did you know that Goosed.ie has it’s own channel? Fancy taking on one of the lads in a game of FIFA19 or Fortnite? Drop us a line and let the games begin.

Where are the Cheapest Countries to Buy Apple Products?

Where are the Cheapest Countries to Buy Apple Products?

Have you ever heard of the Big Mac index?

The Big Mac index is a method of comparing different currencies from various countries by looking at something you can buy in each country. As you might imagine, the McDonalds Big Mac is one popular item to compare as it’s available in many places.

Earlier this week, I spotted a cool website emerge called The Mac Index which does something rather similar. Instead of burgers, this website lets you compare the price of Apple products in different countries, so if you’re planning an Apple purchase and need to plot some holidays, it could pay you to keep reading.

Where is Cheapest to Buy an iPhone XS?

Let’s kick things off with one of Apple’s flagship smartphones; the iPhone XS 64GB.

To pick one of these up from Apple Ireland, you’ll be handing over €1,179. Now, if you were to be heading towards the United States, or know someone taking a trip to New York or the likes, you could buy the very same iPhone for just €871. That would be a saving of nearly €310. Sure, wouldn’t that nearly be a seat for one leg of a flight to the States?

If you wanted to keep things a little closer to home and order from Apple UK you could still save a packet. That same phone from the UK would set you back €924. That’s still €255 you get to keep in your pocket.

I don’t know. I’m pretty sure I could find same-day return flights for a lot less than that using something like Google Flights and save money along with having a nice day trip to the UK.

Which Country Sells the Cheapest Apple Watches?

Moving away from the phone end of things, what about the Apple Watch Series 4?

Well, Apple Ireland will ask you to part with €439 for one of these watches. We’re just the 15th cheapest country where Apple sells directly. Compare this to the €340 you could buy this from Apple is Australia for, and you get to see just how stung we are in this country.

If you know someone in Oz, send them a few packs of Tayto to keep them sweet and ask them to bring you a nice pressie home from down under.

Where to Buy a Cheap MacBook Air?

If you’re after an Apple MacBook Air, you’ll be €1379 lighter if you buy in Ireland. Prepare to be really mad if you just bought one recently and had family home for Christmas from Canada.

With Ireland coming in at 18th most expensive place to buy a 1.6GHz 128GB MacBook Air, Canadians can buy the very same device for just €983. That’s a jaw-dropping saving of nearly €400. 

I knew there were price differences to be expected and deals to be had when you travel, but that kind of money would boil the blood if you bought recently.

Buy Apple AirPods in Australia

Back to the Australian family you have abroad now. If you’re shopping around for Apple AirPods and they’re coming home soon, you better be really nice to them.

Ireland is just the 14th cheapest place with an Apple retail store, either online or physical stores, to buy Apple Airpods. To buy these here in Ireland will cost you €179. The very same gadget would cost you just €130 down under.

Not as dramatic a saving that time, but still a sneaky €50 to be saved should your travel plans overlap perfectly.

If you’re planning a big Apple purchase and just happen to be travelling or have family travelling, it’s worth checking out The Mac Index to see if there’s something you can pick up while saving a small fortune.

…but it’s worth noting

Buying outside of Ireland and the EU does change your rights as a consumer. For example, Apple openly calls out Irish consumer law on their website because you are covered for certain defects for up to six years. This only applies if you buy in Ireland. Buy from the States and you’re down to one year of manufacturer warranty. Just worth noting.
