Elon Musk's cuts at Twitter are reportedly affecting employees' work

Twitter error

Ever since Elon Musk's Twitter takeover, the social media platform has been making some big cuts in order to save money. Data centers have been shuttered, rent hasn't been paid, and thousands from the company have been laid off as Musk attempts to make his $44 billion acquisition make sense financially.

These cuts may have helped Musk save a little cash, but they are reportedly affecting Twitter's remaining employees, and the very platform itself. 

According to Platformer, public data from latency tracking tool Singlepane found that Twitter has been "slowly degrading" since Musk cut the company's data center in Sacramento. The outlet's sources at Twitter confirmed that the latency and outage issues line up with what the company sees internally as well. 

And Twitter users should strap in for more issues ahead as the report also details more cost-cutting measures just this week, as workers at Twitter have been unable to access tools like Slack and Jira. 

Slack is a piece of communications software used by many online companies. As one current Twitter employee mentioned, Slack is also a very important knowledge base tool. Slack chat histories are saved and provide a convenient way to go back and reference old information. After layoffs at Twitter, the remaining workers were able to go back to those old conversations and troubleshoot issues when the employee with the relevant knowledge was no longer with the company.

Jira, a project management and bug tracking tool, did eventually return after Twitter employees were unable to access the app all Wednesday. Due to these issues though, the company's engineers ended up taking the day off according to Platformer.

Slack, however, remains shut off. And, while Twitter owes Slack money, the tool wasn't shut off by Slack. Twitter reportedly shutdown its employees' access internally. 

Musk’s other companies like Tesla, as Platformer points out, use tools like Slack alternative Mattermost and Microsoft's suite of software for internal communication and meetings. Even if a software transition is afoot, it's unusual for any company to shut off these internal tools without prior notice.

Meta Connect 2024: What to expect, including Quest 3S and new AR smart glasses

Meta Connect 2024 is so close, you can almost taste it. Launching during the week of Sept. 23, the social media giant is expected to rollout hardware and software goodies that will intrigue VR gamer enthusiasts, AI aficionados, and smart glasses devotees. But what, specifically, does Meta have up its sleeves? We have a few guesses based on credible reports. What to expect at Meta Connect 2024 Last year, the Meta Quest 3 was announced in early June, but it got its full reveal at Meta Connect 2023. The headset boasted a sleeker, more comfortable design, as well as new AR capabilities, that made it more appealing than its predecessor. Once again, for Meta Connect 2024, the social media giant is expected to drop a new VR headset, but it's not necessarily an upgrade over the Quest 3. Meta Quest 3S Rumor has it that Meta is planning on revealing a cheaper, more budget-friendly version of the Quest 3 called "Quest 3S." Tweet may have been deleted Whether it was intent...

When the clocks change for Daylight Saving Time, and why we do it at all

The clocks on our smartphones do something bizarre twice a year: One day in the spring, they jump ahead an hour, and our alarms go off an hour sooner. We wake up bleary-eyed and confused until we remember what just happened. Afterward, "Daylight Saving Time" becomes the norm for about eight months (And yes, it's called "Daylight Saving" not "Daylight Savings." I don't make the rules). Then, in the fall, the opposite happens. Our clocks set themselves back an hour, and we wake up refreshed, if a little uneasy.  Mild chaos ensues at both annual clock changes. What feels like an abrupt and drastic lengthening or shortening of the day causes time itself to seem fictional. Babies and dogs demand that their old sleep and feeding habits remain unchanged. And more consequential effects — for better or worse — may be involved as well (more on which in a minute). Changing our clocks is an all-out attack on our perception of time as an immutable law of ...
