• McDonald's serves up a master class in how not to explain a system outage

  01-04-2024 12:00
  
  The global outage that last month prevented McDonald's from accepting payments prompted the company to release a lengthy statement that should serve as a master  class in how not to report an IT problem. It was vague, misleading and yet the company used language that still allowed many of the technical details to be figured out. (You know you've moved far from home base when Burger King UK makes fun of you— in response to news of the McDonald's outage, Burger King played of

• Kill meetings (before meetings kill your company)

  01-04-2024 12:00
  
  Meetings have been problematic for decades. They’re often used as a catch-all solution to unresolved problems. And a chronic lack of meeting discipline means that, for all the time spent getting people together, little is accomplished.Now, in a post-pandemic remote work world, where hybrid work and flex work are common, meetings are turning into something like an ongoing crisis at many organizations. They’re harming productivity and causing havoc with employee morale.And yet with ma

• Why even hybrid RTO mandates are hurting overall job satisfaction

  29-03-2024 11:00
  
  Though most companies have settled on return-to-office (RTO) policies now that COVID-19 is no longer considered a global health emergency, many continue to adjust their practices, often to the detriment of their workforce.Several workforce surveys over the past three months have revealed that employees do not view mandated RTO policies favorably, even when hybrid, because the guidelines are often too rigid.During the pandemic, employees became comfortable with flexible work arrangements.

• AI is on a fast track, but hype and immaturity could derail it

  29-03-2024 11:00
  
  The marketing hype surrounding AI broadly — and generative AI (genAI) more specifically — is becoming tiresome. You can't open an article or watch a news video without running into at least a reference to it. We may be approaching the point at which we stop breathlessly extolling its virtues (and dreading some of its outcomes).The hype is so extreme that a fall-out, which Gartner describes in its technology hype cycle reports as the "trough of disillusionment," seems inevitable and

  Microsoft’s Copilot AI could soon run locally on PCs rather than relying on the cloud.Intel told Tom’s Hardware that the chatbot could run on future AI-enabled PCs that would need to incorporate neural processing units (NPUs) capable of exceeding 40 trillion operations per second (TOPS) — a performance level not yet matched by any consumer processor currently available.Intel mentioned that these AI PCs would be equipped to handle “more elements of Copilot” directly

• Software vendors dump open source, go for the cash grab

  28-03-2024 11:00
  
  Essentially, all software is built using open source. By Synopsys' count, 96% of all codebases contain open-source software.Lately, though, there's been a very disturbing trend. A company will make its program using open source, make millions from it, and then — and only then — switch licenses, leaving their contributors, customers, and partners in the lurch as they try to grab billions. I'm sick of it.The latest IT melodrama baddie is Redis. Its program, which goes by the same name

• Will a Google-Apple deal kill Microsoft’s AI dominance?

  27-03-2024 11:00
  
  Microsoft is sitting on top of the world right now, thanks to its lead in AI. It’s the most valuable company on the planet, with a valuation of more than $3.2 trillion. Its rise was rocket-fueled by its investor relationship with OpenAI, the company that makes the wildly popular generative AI (genAI) chatbot ChatGPT. OpenAI’s GPT large language model is also the basis for Microsoft Copilot, the genAI tool that Microsoft is building into just about every one of its products, from Git
