she suggests that every board meeting should include an AI bot – and perhaps, in the not-so-distant future, replace the entire board with bots altogether
She's got a point though
Won’t she be shocked when the AI board replaces her with an AI too
Why pay a big salary to the CEO when you can have chatgpt as your CEO for only $20 a month?
$20 a month
LOFUCKINGL
$20? Just ask without logging in.
I want a live hive of Africanized bees in every board room but we just can't all have what we want, can we?
RIP Logitech, no longer my go-to.
Hanneke Faber became CEO of Logitech on December 1, 2023, after leaving her role as group president at Unilever. Since joining the Swiss peripheral manufacturer, Faber has attracted attention for her unconventional ideas about how personal technology should evolve – often with a focus on benefiting shareholders and companies first.
Faber is now best known for proposing the so-called "Forever Mouse" concept – a device with constantly evolving firmware features built on base hardware that customers would purchase only once. According to Faber, users would happily pay monthly or annual subscriptions to access these software-based upgrades. However, no concrete business plans have yet been announced to bring the idea to market.
Regarding pricing, the CEO compared the mouse to a Rolex watch and the software to Logitech's video conferencing business. A paid subscription is possible, but Faber offered no further details.
What 😄
How is a person so out of touch?
I’d rather have no software with my mouse than this dystopian nightmare.
Yeah, every time I use my mouse I think "man I really wish this was an subscription service!"
Honestly I wouldn't mind if a company charged like, $1/month or something reasonable like that but for some reason some asshole made it standard practice to charge $10-$15/month for literally anything and now everyone uses that as the starting point for their "services"
This lady seems like such a fucking idiot.
Oh, so this is the person that is responsible for Logitech's decline.
Logitech went coocoo a while ago... But since they've put motherfucking ads in their driver (I have never ever thought i would say such a bizarre thing) I've thrown away my lg-stuff and replaced it. After like 20yrs of brand-loyalty. Ads...in....a....driver...which already sucked ass since the switch to lg-hub. Ugh.
How do they manage that? Like where do the ads actually display?
They silently install Logitech Download Assistant through Windows Update as soon as you plug a logitech device in.
Then you get a an ad to download their software as a popup message by the clock.
Since I saw it on a work machine pre pandemic, I have boycotted Logitech, I now mainly use Pulsar mice and Ducky Keyboards.
I think that's only if you're using their unifying dongle. They dropped that tech I think, not sure they replaced it.
My current Logitech mouse never bugs me, only using a generic driver.
Eh, it only showed up when I plugged it in the first time, but you can find the dll loaded even after.
It doesn't use a lot of RAM or CPU, but for me it is the principle, don't install software without asking me.
Drivers are another matter.
Makes sense. Hateful, but I get it now. Thanks.
So it can log what is being said and he can secretly try to game the market!
“Look, my model makes the best stock picks because it’s so intelligent and does lots of thinking and reasoning just like a human, that’s why we need a huge data canter bigger than the one the NSA has in Utah that records all the world’s internet traffic”
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
