Mouse over Tech

It looks like the some companies are taking action when they discovered that staffers were taking advantage of them. Their solution was simple, it was cleanup time and these employee's were easily dismissed and lost their jobs. 

So anyone using deceptive software remotely to account for your productivity should think again or just wait to join the foolish group who recently got caught.  It's your foolish choice.

Tesla CEO Pay Fight

Ever since Elon Musk pay package was thrown out by a judge in January the CEO has been doing all that he can do to get his pay reinstated and now after all his work shareholders are having second thoughts and they are justified since the company no longer is performing like it once was.

With the EV market looking for cheaper alternatives the CEO has been diverting important resources elsewhere. Maybe it's time for both parties to go their separate ways and for Must to start focusing on the company he believe's he wants to work for. 

Being a CEO requires staying focus and when you manage several companies the mindset is just not going to be there for all of them.

Tesla Cybertruck Treat

If you are thinking of buying a Cybertruck, here is some information you should know before hand which is how big the vehicle stands out and where are you going to park it.

A user apparently purchased a Cybertruck when he had a house and then when the vehicle arrived he downsized to an apartment and now the vehicle is causing him a headache when it comes to parking.

Now anyone would consider with a situation like this all you need to do is get rid of the car but here is the kicker. The user cannot sell the car because of the Tesla agreement that they have to keep the car for at least a year.  

So my advice to the user is sit back put cones all around the car when you park and after a year just get rid of this hudge piece of junk.

iOS Updates

If you have an iPhone note this is how long Apple will provide updates to make sure the phone is secure. For most it's basically just five years and it really depends on the phone you have. So if you paid over one grand you have three years to stay secure. So overall Apple is no longer giving you the best for your buck and you might want to look elsewhere when it comes to saving money. 

It's kind of sad hearing the new Apple information but at least you have other options.

AWS & Microsoft Cloud Domination

It looks like dominating the cloud is causing some countries to be concerned about the monopoly play among these two rivals. Besides being on top, these two giant companies are way ahead of their competitors and it's looks like it's can be like that for quite sometime.

In the meanwhile these two companies should start strategizing to practice fair business practices with other providers so that they do not come up under the radar that their company is a monopoly.
