IBM lays off 3900 people, the company’s shares fell
According to Bloomberg, International Business Machines Corp. (IBM) said it would cut about 1.5% of its global workforce, which would be about 3,900 people.
Chief Financial Officer James Kavanaugh said the company remains “committed to hiring for customer-focused research and development.”
Layoffs related to the spin-off of Kyndryl’s business and part of Watson Health’s artificial intelligence division will incur $300 million in expenses between January and March.
The company’s shares fell 2%. Analysts say news of job cuts and a lack of free cash flow were the reason for the fall.
The company is forecasting full-year revenue growth in constant-currency average single singles, below the 12% it reported last year, as pandemic-driven demand for enterprise digitization gave way to cautious customer spending amid growing recession fears.

Apple has released a software update for the MagSafe Duo charging station.
While Apple frequently releases firmware updates for most of its hardware, this is the first release since the MagSafe Duo officially debuted in 2020.
It’s not yet clear exactly what the firmware update does, as Apple hasn’t provided any release notes, but the latest firmware usually includes performance and security improvements, as well as increased compatibility with other devices.
The charging station will update automatically when it is in use and connected to the mains.
MagSafe Duo lets you charge your iPhone and Apple Watch at the same time and costs $129 in the US.
Many have heard claims that Windows 11 is heavily “spying” on users. As a recent YouTube video on The PC Security Channel shows, Windows 11 does send massive amounts of data to its own and third-party servers.
Worst of all, the OS does this before the user even installs or opens their first app. The author of the channel used the Wireshark application to analyze network activity on two “clean” versions of Windows.
The first was the brand new Windows 11, and the second was the good old Windows XP. A quick analysis revealed that Windows 11 connects to many third-party servers and services, most of which do nothing but track for ads. And it’s worth noting that all of these actions take place on every Windows 11 computer out of the box, without prompting the user and before he tries to use the Internet.
