We have a massive problem with electronics waste. Globally, we throw out 50 million tons of it every year, which is the equivalent of 1,000 laptops every second.
Recycling is still not universal, and often it costs more to recycle something due to how it was built than the materials inside the device are worth. On top of that, 70 percent of electronic waste is toxic. As this waste makes its way into groundwater or the oceans, it will increasingly hurt our health and longevity.
This month the EU stepped up to address this problem with a comprehensive right to repair law that should dramatically reduce this electrical waste. The U.K. is close behind and they don t have a choice if they want to sell to the EU and I expect that the same driver will force the U.S. to comply with this regulation if it wants to sell to the EU or U.K.
Uber adds valet car rentals as it looks to rev rides

SAN FRANCISCO - Uber on Wednesday added valet delivery of rental cars as part of a suite of offerings as it aims to be one-stop-shop for post-pandemic venturing out or dining in.
As Covid-19 vaccines make it safer for people to move about, Uber aims to be a hub for summoning rides, running errands, or renting vehicles. Uber wants to be and is the one-stop shop for getting to where you need to be, Uber engineer Adib Roumani said on a video briefing with journalists.

As is often the case when technology is advancing very rapidly, the leading providers of an evolving class of products are on very different pages. I m talking about Cisco and Microsoft and while neither s approach is wrong, neither is complete and together they can build a comprehensive picture of what is needed for our hybrid workplace future.
This hybrid future is one where remote workers are better off than those working on-premises and where you can instantly travel to a meeting any place in the world without feeling at a disadvantage.
