Sometimes your job is literally keeping the secrets of how the sausage is made.

Too many companies focus on easy things like PII and don't do the hard work of classifying and protecting intellectual property.

Hormel Foods, Inc. accuses Johnsonville, its Sheboygan Falls-based rival, of using two former Hormel employees to steal "trade secrets.”

My favorite part of having to use enterprise SaaS products is getting signed up for marketing emails without consent.

I think every procurement org should put in a line deep inside the contract that identifies this as a material breach of contract, giving organizations an instant and universal exit clause.

Don't use Smart TVs as Smart TVs.

If you buy a Smart TV, keep it off the internet and use your choice on streaming box or local media player instead. Apple TV generally comes out on top in terms of respecting viewer privacy.

"what if we made a whole social network for people who are into shrimp jesus"

That's the pipe-hitting idea that embodies the Meta AI public feed.

If you're into that, I guess good for you but wow

Yes, Pixel had call screening like seven years ago, but Samsung never implemented it, and their version was Bixby which is trash and nobody used it.

That means a whopping 10% of the (US) Android market was using call screen. That's 10% of a 40% market share.

Now because of Apple, 60% of the market finally has this feature. If you're a scammer or a telemarketer, your odds of getting AI call screened go from 2% to 70%, assuming Apple turns this on by default, and I hope they do.

If that doesn't decimate junk calling, IDK what will.
