Sony to cut about 900 jobs in its PlayStation unit as layoffs in technology, gaming sector continue.
  • I'm worried that after years of layoffs, they have become a custom. It feels like companies were deliberating laying off people for longer before that, avoiding bad news. Nowadays, 'everyone' is doing it. And nothing prevents them from over hiring and firing in large amounts over and over again.

  • Samsung sees 95% drop in profits for a second consecutive quarter
  • Or simply that prices have become insane. Good phones used to be around 400, taking me a few days to think about it and say yes. Now they are beyond 1000, so I will do my best to avoid having to upgrade and go with custom ROMs again. In the meanwhile, we also lost exchangeable batteries, external SD cards, and microphone jack, and we gained more Google spyware and bloat.

  • Google alternative
  • For Search I use Duckduckgo (free).

    For Mail, Calendar and Contacts I use Fastmail (free or paid, I use the paid version).

    For file storage there's plenty of alternatives (Dropbox etc.)

    For browser I use Edge, but it is also built on Chromium. I will make my choice once the recent Web Environment Integrity topic has become more clear.
