Tech cuts continue

serves as a shameful stain upon British history. It took until 2009 for Turing to posthumously receive an apology for his treatment, with then Prime Minister Gordon Brown saying, “the debt of gratitude he is owed makes it all the more horrifying, therefore, that he was treated so inhumanely … We’re sorry, you deserved so much better.” In 2013, Turing received a royal pardon for his ‘crimes’, following a set of strong campaigns to deliver justice to the late scientist. As society is slowly making its way to becoming a more progressive and accepting place for all, Turing’s life and also his persecution continues to have an impact. In 2017, the “Alan Turing Law”, which fell under the Policing and Crime Act of 2017, pardoned men who were subject to conviction under historical legislation that outlawed homosexual acts. Shockingly, Conversion Therapy still remains legal in the UK, despite government plans to ban the practice.

Conversion Therapy Still Remains Legal In The Uk

Alan Turing was without a doubt one of the greatest minds this country has ever produced and his contributions to science have proved invaluable to the progression of mankind. Turing’s passing serves as reminder of historical shameful acts of persecution and prejudice that have no place in the modern world. In tribute to his memory, we should strive to create an equal and inclusive world where people can thrive and achieve their potential without fear of shame or misunderstanding. Whether you consciously keep him in your mind or are only reminded of him and his work when you see his face on a £50 note, just know that the course of British history was forever changed, for the better, by this man.

Elizabeth Barber looks at Dell’s plan to cut 6,500 employees

DELL is the latest tech company to be hit by layoffs. Its announcement of plans to dismiss 6,500 workers has raised concerns around the company’s future. While there is no singular cause for the ongoing layoffs across the tech sector, an increasingly pessimistic global economic outlook, a recent trend of overhiring, and pressure from shareholders to reduce costs all play a role. Companies across the tech sector are attempting to cut costs as they navigate the increasingly challenging global business environment

Since its founding in 1984, Dell has been a major player in the tech industry, but the company has had mixed success in recent years. 10 years ago, to revitalize the company’s struggling business, the company went private in a $24 billion deal led by its founder

Michael Dell. The move was seen as a bold one, but it also left the company with high levels of debt. Since going private, Dell has focused on expanding its provisions beyond just PCs, with a particular focus on enterprise IT services. The company has made several acquisitions to improve its position in this area, including purchasing the data storage company EMC in 2016 for $67 billion. This move allowed Dell to di versify its business and reduce its dependence on the PC market. Despite these efforts, Dell has had to contend with stiff competition from rival PC producers, including HP, Lenovo, and Apple. Additionally, the overall demand for PCs has fallen as people increasingly favour smartphones and tablets for accessing the internet.

The recent layoffs at Dell are part of a broader trend at tech companies restructuring efforts aimed at reducing costs and improving efficiency.

Dell has said that the move will save $1.5 billion annually and allow it to reinvest in its business. However, the layoffs have also raised concerns about the com - pany’s future, particularly in the PC market.

Despite these challenges, Dell still has some strengths that could help it weather the current turbulent economic environment. The company has a strong brand and a loyal customer base, particularly in the enterprise market. Its focus on services and solutions rather than just hardware could also help it maintain its relevance as the tech industry continues to evolve and adapt.

The tech industry is in a state of flux, with even the biggest companies facing challenges as new players enter the market and consumer preferences rapidly shift. Dell’s recent layoffs are a reminder of this, and the company will need to continue to adapt if it wants to stay ahead of the curve.
