Problems to download jab certificates reported by fully vaccinated people

Jul 16 2021

Despite the vaccination certificate having become crucial for travel, many fully vaccinated people are reporting facing problems when trying to download their own certificate. With more than 237,790 certificates downloaded, 25% of those eligible to access the certificate have not yet downloaded their version. Many are reporting persistent problems, with the health ministry claiming that most problems have to do with verification of information issues.

Most are told to email [email protected], but many are also reporting the lack of replies. This poses problems to many awaiting their date of travel as COVID-19 vaccine certificates have become mandatory for travel. Parents have also expressed concern in regards to downloading their children’s certificate given that they do not possess ID cards.

Louis Vuitton releases new UFO seeming wireless speaker

Jul 16 2021

Known for its super-expensive travel and casual bags, luxury brand Louis Vuitton just released a bizarre looking speaker called the Horizon Light Up speaker. For the uninitiated, the Toupie handbag made big hits following its launch as part of the company’s pre-fall collection in 2019. The brand decided to recreate the design in the form of a speaker. For those who’ve never seen the bag however, the design may just look like a UFO.

The speaker is bound by noble leather along with metal components and covered with the signature LV monogram. It features everything from a subwoofer to light up letters of the brand name as music plays. It can also pair with smartphones via Bluetooth, WiFi and Apple AirPlay 2. There is no set price as of yet, but the speaker is expected to launch worldwide on July 30th. Although considering the brand, this latest creation won’t come cheap!
