        Amazon: Meet Jeff Bezos's successor - Andy Jassy

        Andy Jassy is not a household name.
        He is, though, about to take on one of the biggest jobs in global business - replacing Jeff Bezos as chief executive of Amazon. Accompanying the appointment of a new football manager comes endless speculation. What will the style of play be? Are they the right fit at the club? Can they manage the big stars? Business is no different. Yet with Amazon's new chief executive, we kind of know what to expect. Amazon's business is so big it essentially acts as an umbrella organisation for many different companies. Mr Jassy has been at the company for 23 years, conducted plenty of interviews, and has been pretty open about what makes him tick. He also runs its most lucrative business - Amazon Web Services (AWS).

          Amazon faces spying claims over AI cameras in vans

          Amazon has begun using AI-powered cameras in delivery vans that constantly record footage of drivers and upload any mistakes they make.
          The firm says it is an investment in safety but privacy campaigners described it as "surveillance". The cameras will be on all the time but will only upload footage for 16 actions, including hard braking, driver distraction and drowsiness. One person told CNBC the system was even triggered by the driver yawning. The Kentucky-based driver said if someone yawns, they will be told to pull over for 15 minutes. In a statement, Amazon told the BBC: "We are investing in safety across our operations and have rolled out a number of resources to provide delivery service partners with information to help them keep drivers safe when they are on the road."

            Microsoft launches Viva, its new take on the old intranet

            Microsoft today launched Viva, a new “employee experience platform,” or, in non-marketing terms, its new take on the intranet sites most large companies tend to offer their employees. This includes standard features like access to internal communications built on integrations with SharePoint, Yammer and other Microsoft tools. In addition, Viva also offers access to team analytics and an integration with LinkedIn Learning and other training content providers (including the likes of SAP SuccessFactors), as well as what Microsoft calls Viva Topics for knowledge sharing within a company.

              Spy planes grounded in US following privacy battle

              Lawmakers in Baltimore have voted to end a controversial aerial surveillance program, which had seen spy planes constantly monitoring the city.
              The program, set up by private firm Persistent Surveillance Systems, used camera-equipped planes to capture what was happening across a vast urban area. The decision to abandon the scheme followed a lawsuit from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). It said the system disproportionately targeted people of colour. "Baltimore's termination of its unconstitutional spy plane program is a hard-fought victory for all Baltimoreans, especially for Black leaders who challenged this and communities of colour who are disproportionately targeted by this surveillance," said Brett Max Kaufman, a senior lawyer for the ACLU. But David Rocah, a senior lawyer with ACLU Maryland, said the legal case still needed to be heard.

                Finally the media talking about how AD is a huge risk. Stuff we've been saying for years.

                  It's likely the biggest enabler of lateral movement of systems that are part of it. It's crazy to consider having devices as part of an AD environment these days.

                  Every single place I have come in contact with lately is either moving away from it or already has. I was part of the charge for moving away from it where I'm at and it's one of the best thing to have done.

                            I wonder how many hits a public RDP honeypot would get hit with every day? I may just be curious enough to find out tonight.

                              Bitcoin investors: From buying a Bentley to losing it all

                              Bitcoin has soared to trade at an eye-watering $48,000 (£34,820), following the news that Tesla has bought $1.5bn of the crypto-currency.
                              Enthusiasts will tell you it's the future of money - but investing in the notoriously volatile virtual currency can be a rollercoaster, and it's not without risk. The hunt for new coins, using powerful computers, is also causing a surge in energy demand - which is not so good for the environment. Here are some of your Bitcoin adventures.

                                    That's a pretty significant loss...

                                      Another reason to never host with them.... they might (and it's likely) shut it down at any moment.

                                      Just like Stadia.
