I find it interesting - thanks.
Although, GitHub usage doesn't translate well to the enterprise. C# is much more than 5% there, and there are also languages which have zero usage on GitHub but are still widely used by businesses: Cobol, PL/I, Rexx, ABAP, RPG,...

The top soft skills that IT professionals should focus on are communication, problem-solving, and project management, according to a new study. Great news! A lot of me is soft.

that article is click bait. Seriously, when was the last time you, as a developer or an IT guy - whatever the elephant that means - was asked about project management?
True story - after an overly long and difficult development project management decided it would be useful to have a project review - what went wrong, what went right, and how do we do better? #1 issue - asking for estimates and a schedule before requirements. Heads nodded.
Next project - same issue, except this time the entire department got dinged for not meeting the mythical schedule. It's probably a good thing the company is generous with vacation.
Articles like this should go in the writer's list of things not to write.

The eyeglass attachment uses tiny microphones and speakers to read the words you mouth as you silently command it to pause or skip a music track, enter a passcode without touching your phone or work on CAD models without a keyboard.

From 2019 to at least mid-2022, Tesla employees used an internal messaging system to share "sometimes highly invasive videos and images recorded by customers' car cameras," according to a lengthy Reuters report based on interviews with nine former Tesla employees.
Although Tesla says its in-car cameras are "designed from the ground up to protect your privacy," today's Reuters report described employees as having easy access to the cameras' output and sharing that freely with other employees:
I'm shocked, shocked, to find another Elon company not giving an exploding ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) about user data privacy.
A privacy policy saying "LOL WUT!!!!" probably would have been an improvement.

You should see some of the footage I've seen from dash cams in taxis.
I'm not in the demographic for a battery-powered car, but I think I would cover a camera lens if my car had one.

I don't and never will own a Tesla. Maybe I'm wrong, but apparently the cars phone home from time to time, so to speak. Updates occur wirelessly and can leave the vehicle bricked. Nope, not for me.
But this article falls under "Siri is listening at all times" theatrics. Of course the phone is listening. I still haven't enabled the wifi in my refrigerator.

It said there was no legal basis to justify "the mass collection and storage of personal data for the purpose of 'training' the algorithms underlying the operation of the platform".
They read the privacy policy and saw it said "LOL WUT!!!!!"

Not that I don'T agree with them but on the other hand... TikTok, WhatsApp, Facebook, Office365 and only god knows how many other things are they using without giving a second thought.

They just thought, "How will ChatGPT communicate without hand gestures?"

Samsung workers have unwittingly leaked top secret data whilst using ChatGPT to help them with tasks.
The company allowed engineers at its semiconductor arm to use the AI writer to help fix problems with their source code. But in doing so, the workers inputted confidential data, such as the source code itself for a new program, internal meeting notes data relating to their hardware.
The upshot is that in just under a month, there were three recorded incidences of employees leaking sensitive information via ChatGPT. Since ChatGPT retains user input data to further train itself, these trade secrets from Samsung are now effectively in the hands of OpenAI, the company behind the AI service.
If they'd bothered to read the privacy policy, they've seen it said "LOL WUT!!!"

Keep at it. I'm sure you'll figure it out real soon... The reasons for everything MS does is real obvious. Like why they eliminated the ability to dock the start menu to the left or right of the screen in Win 11. That's obvious, right? Right?
