    Quite the opposite - LinkedIn will let you use AI to generate cover letters and rewrite your CV, but you have to pay LinkedIn for that privilege. They’re not taking a moral position here, but rather protecting their business.

    Ha, sucker, you think your non-Internet-connected lightbulbs make you safe? My Internet-connected lightbulbs have sent my online-car to wardrive your neighbourhood and sniff your Zigbee network!

    …if you see my car please tell it to come back to me, I need to go to the shops…

    A worker won $600,000 after Twitter said his goodbye messages showed he had resigned. The case holds valuable lessons for staff and employers.

    There are two main types of data retention policy:

    • Retain everything to protect the company when the staff do something dodgy.
    • Delete everything to protect management when management do something dodgy.

    It’s a little more nuanced than that, of course, but in broad strokes that’s how I’ve seen it play out. Does the company want to pin the blame on somebody or shrug and say “we have no idea how that can have happened, guess we need to forget about it.”

  • Hiya, I’m wondering if anybody knows of any other brands like [Eve](https://www.evehome.com) that sell local-network-only no-cloud HomeKit products. To make that word salad a bit clearer, I’m looking for devices that: - work with HomeKit, either directly or over Thread or Matter. - don’t have any mandatory cloud services from the vendor. - don’t have any optional cloud services from the vendor. - don’t phone home to their vendor. - is supported as running in a VLAN with no WAN access, or can be trusted in a secure VLAN with WAN access as it won’t abuse that trust. I’d be very interested to hear your experiences and recommendations around the above. I recognise that some devices can be run in a secured VLAN in a non-vendor recommended manner and am interested to hear about them, but the main focus of this thread is to determine if there are and brands besides Eve that explicitly manufacture “local-only” HomeKit devices.
