#ArticleSummary: "The potential for disruption in the big tech industry, focusing on companies like Facebook (now Meta), Amazon, Apple, Google (now Alphabet), and Microsof. While these tech giants have achieved tremendous success and dominance in their respective markets, there are indications that they are not invulnerable to disruption. The article highlights the weaknesses and challenges faced by each company, including threats from start-ups and competitors. It also emphasizes the importance of focusing on customer pain points and starting small when trying to topple a tech titan. The author, Jonathan Knee, a Columbia Business School professor, provides insights into the strategies these companies could employ to defend themselves. Key points to note include the dominance and market cap of these tech companies, the challenges they face despite their success, and the need for strategic adaptation in the face of disruption."

I was trying to download latest Geany and VS Codium on my Linux/Ubuntu (unlike Satya Nadella's Microsoft's VS Code, this VS Codium does not spy on you i.e. it does not collect Telemetry) . FYI, my Ubuntu/Linux is a dual boot system, so that I am not forced to use Satya Nadella's Windows OS on my PC laptop -- using Satya Nadella's Microsoft is like being 'Between the devil and the deep blue sea" when it comes to cybersecurity cause Satya Nadella's Microsoft itself does not respect user privacy, and on top of that its vulnerable to hackers due to weak security. I searched for Geany and VS Codium in the Ubuntu Software Center. While Geany successfully installed through the Ubuntu Software Center, VS Codium did not. To resolve this, I decided to give Flatpack/Flathub a try, and I found that VS Codium installed smoothly through this method. Although I could have used 'sudo apt' or 'sudo apt-get' commands in the Terminal to install these software packages, I chose to utilize the graphical interface (App Store) of the Ubuntu Software Center and Flatpack/Flathub. This decision was motivated by the upcoming tutorials/classes on my #fairwissenschaft website, where I will be focusing on Linux/Ubuntu. It is crucial to demonstrate the user-friendly nature of these systems, especially for beginners, to ensure they feel comfortable and not overwhelmed by the command line interface. Therefore, I showcased the installation process through the GUI versions of Ubuntu Software Center and Flatpack/Flathub before delving into Terminal usage.
Previously, I wanted to use 3 BigTech tools, Mac OS (will use Canonical Ubuntu instead), Google Colabs (will use Jupyter notebook Anaconda instead) and Amazon Cloud AWS (wil use OVHcloud, Oracle instead), (who are better than Alibab, Tiktok, Microsoft and Meta as my previous posts have discussed) but I decided not to include any BigTech because there is a lot of good products out there in the western civilization (EU, UK, Aus, NZ, Can, US), that can be used without compromising cybersecurity (privacy and security). The latter are either free and/or they treat users as customers not products, i.e. unlike BigTech they don't sell our data.

Can Big Tech Be Disrupted?
The tech giants Facebook (now Meta), Amazon, Apple, Google (now Alphabet), Microsoft, and Netflix are all so successful—and generate so much cash—that they seem virtually unstoppable. Yet according to Jonathan Knee, a Columbia Business School professor and veteran investment banker specializing in media and tech, even the digital superpowers face threats. In this interview he shares an analysis of the weaknesses and strengths of the large tech companies and the strategies they might use to defend themselves.
