John Deere has laid off roughly 1000 workers so far this year.

But the company reported a profit of over $10 billion in 2023.

Its CEO received $26.7 million in total compensation.

And it spent over $7 billion on stock buybacks.

Textbook corporate greed.

@arstechnica If they can't pass in Monaco and make that race interesting, then they won't be small enough.

Connected cars’ illegal data collection and use now on FTC’s “radar”

The regulator is warning OEMs to respect data privacy or it will get mad.

@arstechnica
What’s FTC going to do? “Slap on wrist” fines? Penalties need to be increased enormously to deter. But all this is useless in the absence of national data privacy laws.

It can be either Lego or kids. Not both. Because that will lead to injured soles.

I never had an Alexa device or used one. Never saw or understood the hype with it. Also, never trusted its “listening” mode.
Nothing of value was lost.
