The Ubbey NEXT is a module storage system coming soon to Kickstarter


CROWDFUNDING NEWS – The Ubbey NEXT is being touted as the World’s First Decentralized Modular Data Storage Cube. It is designed to be used by the average everyday user as well as experts. It provides a safe and secure way to store your data without the monthly fees that are associated with conventional cloud data storage services and also offers advanced data encryption. The stackable design includes a total of 4 types of stackable modules; The Ubbey N is the base module that comes with 1 TB capacity, and can be used with most of Ubbey App’s features; the Ubbey E that allows you to expand your base module’s storage up to 4TB per module and allows you to stack up to 3 modules of this type; the Ubbey T is a WiFi module that allows you to connect wirelessly to your router; the Ubbey X represents other types of modules. For example, you can add an IP camera module that would allow you to remotely monitor your home or office.

In addition, this modular design gives you true data ownership and AI-powered p2p sharing capabilities. All modules connect magnetically, and it is very easy to stack different modules on a base module to create a personalized Ubbey NEXT. “The unused storage can either be used for mining or trading with other users. This is also a p2p storage sharing network.”

The Ubbey NEXT Kickstarter campaign will be launching in May 2019. Click here for more product and crowdfunding information.

Roland’s BTM-1 speaker lets your phone and guitar take center stage

NEWS – When Roland releases a new product, it’s always worth checking out. Just announced is their BTM-1 speaker, tuned for Bluetooth playback from your phone and direct guitar input. Roland takes their audio quality seriously so we’re looking forward to hearing this in action.

Controls on the top look to be; Power, Bluetooth and volume buttons along with knobs for Gain, Tone and Level. Analog overdrive tone and a rich echo effect should allow for customizing your guitar sound.

On the side, you’ll find a micro-USB charging port, 1/8″ headphone jack, 1/4″ guitar input and an 1/8″ aux input that can also support an instrument. A built-in rechargeable battery and compact, lightweight design should let you take and create your music anywhere.

Streaming services have put music discovery in the palm of your hand, so when that song you’ve just found literally has you grabbing your guitar, you can just plug in and play along. How cool is that?

Visually, this speaker is a creme color with gold accents and feels new and nostalgic at the same time, channeling the classic jazz amp colors. The speaker has a full grill on both sides so very interested to see how sound is directed within.

We’re hoping to review this one soon. Stay tuned and visit Roland.com.

You may think it’s fine, or you may think it’s a terrible practice. The World Health Organization (WHO) has their own opinion. WHO recommends for children 2 to 4, precisely the age when parents are apt to try to keep them busy, that they only have one hour a day in front of a screen. Infants should have zero screen time, and those between 1 and 2 should rarely be allowed screen time. Limiting Children’s Screen Time… Read more
