Most likely not. The US track record isn’t great regarding unionization.

I bet the board would rather pay 100 times more than what meeting the workers demands would cost, just to fight this and stop it from spreading.

Maybe it’s time for the board of directors to review the CEO’s strategy the last 10-20 years and reevaluate if just focusing on payout to shareholders and bonuses for your management actually was a great long term strategy…

Despite the slurs, Mr Swenson was glad that the hackers had announced their presence so loudly. It would have been much worse, he said, if they had decided to quietly observe his family inside their home. They could’ve peered through his robot’s camera, and listened through the microphone, without him having the slightest clue.

Who says they didn’t???

Even if Mr Swenson had used the same username and password on other sites, and if those credentials had been leaked online, that still should not have been enough to access the video feed or to control the robot remotely. These features are supposed to be protected by a four-digit PIN. The PIN code was only checked by the app, rather than by the server or robot.

I don’t even…

Yeah… While making users run Linux applications on a system where Google is root might be a wet dream for Google, it’s more of a nightmare for me.

I really hate the fact that the vast majority of consumers are perfectly fine with not being in full control of their appliances and that Google (and others) register everything they do.
