Recent events highlight the need for companies to continuously evaluate and improve how sensitive data is handled. Microsoft revealed that AI researchers had inadvertently exposed 38 terabytes of internal information since 2020. Additionally, Google agreed to pay settlements totaling $155 million over illigal location tracking practices. Microsoft’s Monumental Mistake Just last week, TechCrunch disclosed that Microsoft’s AI divisions casually allowed 38 terabytes of sensitive internal data to be exposed. Take a moment to grasp that—38 terabytes, and this from a company audacious enough to assure you that your data is secure in their hands.

The Vital Role of Competition Kelley and Cro argue that bounties foster competition at the expense of cooperation.

The “smart” home of the future: a paradise where devices cater to our every need, adjust to our routines, and offer unprecedented convenience. While this dream is often powered by proprietary systems and platforms, we’ll explore why the Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) movement and Linux can offer a more reliable, user-controlled alternative. A software engineer named Brandon Jackson recounts (you can read his full story here), a mere misunderstanding with an Amazon delivery driver led to the suspension of his account, effectively crippling his smart home setup.
