]]>ChannelNews heard these soundbars at CES and they are impressive.
Available in four models, BAR 2.0 All-In-One, BAR 2.1 Deep Base, BAR 5.1 Surround and Bar 9.1 ATMOS (coming in July 2020), the series incorporate new audio technology developed in partnership with Samsung who are now selling an extensive range of Ultra High Definition TV’s that need Ultra High Definition Audio.
The first thing you notice about the Harman BAR 2.0 is that they come across as simple and compact and unobtrusive especially if they are used in a small room. While the sound is big the design fits right into those that like minimalistic design.
The BAR 2.0 includes Bluetooth, which allows 24bit audio to be streamed from a smartphone if the BAR is not being used for TV content.
The gear that impressed me was the Bar 9.1 this is JBL’s first Dolby Atmos soundbar and it’s very flexible in what it can do. The bar design took me back to another highly popular sound bar from Philips that had removable side speakers.
The new JBL Bar 9.1 coming in July has two battery-powered and detachable wireless rear speakers. You get 10 hours of surround audio from a single charge, and you can dock them back in the soundbar’s body to recharge.
The bar also includes four upward-facing drivers that reflect sound around your room. It’s 4K HDR compatible and comes with a 10in wireless subwoofer. Audio can be streamed to the soundbar using Google Chromecast, Apple AirPlay 2 or Bluetooth.
In the Bar 2.0 and Bar 2.1 Harman has built in Dolby Digital technology, they have also introduced new surround sound and a smart sound mode, into the BAR 2.0 that delivers excellent sound no matter what you watch or listen to.
With the BAR 2.1 you get 300 Watts of JBL Signature Sound, this model comes with a 6.5” Wireless subwoofer, it also has an optical HDMI cable.
The 5.1 BAR model has 550 Watts of power and a 10″ subwoofer, the built in JBL Multibeam technology delivers thumping bass which is great for those big action movies as it also has built-in Ultra HD 4K Pass-through with Dolby Vision.
It also has Chromecast, Airplay 2 and Bluetooth built in.
“Our Soundbar range gets better and better each year. JBL takes its experience in cinema and stadium sound and delivers it in a powerful and high-quality soundbar range. TVs are getting bigger and better with 8K technology and the sound needs to match. With the current environment of staying home and staying safe, entertaining yourself and your family has never been easier” said Marcus Fry, Country Manager of AUNZ at Harman.
JBL BAR series will be available from Harvey Norman now starting from $279.95 AUD. For more information go to www.jbl.com.au.

]]>In a number of media reports on Monday, the NSW Minister for Innovation Kevin Anderson was quoted as saying short-term accommodation had been declared illegal and that there was “zero reason for someone to stay in an Airbnb”.
However yesterday both Anderson and Airbnb said this was not correct. Airbnb said its clients were still operating while Anderson said that in the current circumstances, “the provision of short-term accommodation is often critical, particularly for our frontline health workers”.
Still, many Airbnb premises may still find themselves un-occupied. Many commentators, and some police, have warned that long-distance travelling to an attractive Airbnb holiday property may be near-impossible, given police warnings and shutdowns.

]]>Research by Futuresource Consulting revealed that “the market is in a significant phase,” with the total number of video-equipped meeting rooms exceeding four million worldwide, though Chris Mcintyre-Brown, associate director at Futuresource said this represents roughly 10% of the available market.
According to Mcintyre-Brown, close to three in four companies are actively encouraging employees to increase their use of conferencing technology to communicate, indicating growth in the market will continue.
Video conferencing vendors are now shifting their focus from large conferencing rooms to multiple smaller rooms, adjusting business strategies to remain competitive in the market.
“What was once seen as a solution for the boardroom is now being harnessed by employees at all levels, pervading meeting rooms and having a huge impact on the demand for video communications,” said Mcintyre-Brown.

]]>The post Parliament Hack Report Not Public appeared first on Smart Office.
]]>Senate president Scott Ryan yesterday told a Senate estimates hearing that, after reading the “rather technical” report for the first time on Friday, he is now awaiting a “plain language briefing” from cyber security experts before providing an update to the Senate.
Ryan said, however, that it is unlikely that an unclassified version of the report will be released.
“But I will say at this point that there are obviously implications for our future security as a parliament, as well as our cooperation with various agencies,” Ryan said.
“I am not convinced that publishing the report I have received, even in a redacted form, would be helpful,” the Senate president added.
The cyberattack, which extended to the networks of the Liberal, Labor and National parties, forced more than 4000 parliamentarians and staff, as well as the Department of Parliamentary Services, to reset their passwords.
Despite claims that no data had been accessed at the time of the attack, an Australian Signals Directorate assessment has since revealed that a limited amount of non-confidential data was in fact stolen by a state-sponsored actor.

]]>The Payment Systems Board – whose members include the chairs of the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority – said it will make public the outage data it collects.
Ironically the move comes after millions of Australians spent Monday waiting for funds to finally clear, four days after a massive outage at the Commonwealth Bank.
This appears to have been due to widespread dependence on legacy batch systems by the other Big Four banks and smaller institutions.
“Following a sharp jump in outages recently, the [RBA] will be looking to take additional steps to encourage improved operational resilience,” the Payment System’s Board annual report said.
“To strengthen transparency and market discipline, the [RBA] will be working with Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority (APRA) and the industry to develop a standardised set of statistics on operational outages in retail payments, to be publicly disclosed by individual institutions.”

]]>Cloud Conformity is a cloud security posture management (CSPM) company and the acquisition by Trend Micro is seen as a strategic move to quickly close the enterprise’s security gaps. Trend Micro is making Cloud Conformity available immediately.
It will also take on all Cloud Conformity staff and add its customers to Trend Micro’s growing 16K hybrid cloud customer base.
The acquisition builds upon Trend Micro adding complementary capabilities that automatically identify and fix a range of cloud infrastructure configuration issues.
“We have been laser-focused on building integrated security for the cloud since its birth over a decade ago, unlike other vendors who are now attempting to stitch together disparate cloud technologies,” said Eva Chen, Trend Micro CEO.
“As more enterprises move to the cloud, our customers feel they’re operating amid a wild-west approach to cloud implementations that leave them with unmanaged risk.”
According to researcher Gartner: “Through 2023, at least 99% of cloud security failures will be the customer’s fault.
“Through 2024, organisations implementing a CSPM offering and extending this into development will reduce cloud-related security incidents due to misconfiguration by 80%.”

]]>It has already purchased some 1200 Chrome OS devices to replace Windows computers in Service NSW self-service kiosks.
Service NSW has calculated that the Chrome desktops require only five percent of the support hours previously required by its Windows devices.
The agency also saved costs by ditching private WAN networks, relying instead on broadband and Wi-Fi. According to a recent report by Service NSW’s CTO Colin Jones and former CIO Ben McMullen: “When you add in the savings on devices and IT management, we’re targeting reducing our operational costs by 46 percent per year.”

The government agency says the current system for funding roads is unsustainable because drivers are transitioning to electric cars, which will not pay fuel excise, but cost of the roads will stay the same or increase.
The next Australian infrastructure plan will be published in 2021.

Online retail was doing rather better, with turnover contributing 5.4 percent of total retail turnover in April 2018.
This was up slightly on the 5.1 percent rise in March 2018 – and quite massively on a year ago, when Stats reported online retail sales contributed just 3.4 percent to total retail for March 2017.
In dollar terms, online sales are said to have reached $1.3 billion in April, up from $510 million at the same time last year.
