techcrunch.com Ram Iyer 2025-09-27 13:09:44

Thanks to a pledge to unbundle its corporate messaging app Teams from its productivity suites, Microsoft has managed to slip unscathed through a major antitrust investigation by the European Commission that could have resulted in massive fines for the tech giant. The Commission on Friday okayed Microsoft’s concessions to address the EU’s competition concerns over the company including Teams along with the rest of its Office productivity suite for free, concluding a multi-year investigation that

What Does Consulting Do?

news.ycombinator.com Gert Bijnens 2025-11-26 16:52:49

This paper provides the first systematic and comprehensive empirical study of management and strategy consulting. We unveil the workings of this opaque industry by drawing on universal administrative business-to-business transaction data based on value-added tax links from Belgium (2002-2023). These data permit us to document the nature of consulting engagements, take-up patterns, and the effects on client firms. We document that consulting take-up is concentrated among large, high-labor-product

Let's stop pretending that managers and executives care about productivity

Let's stop pretending that managers and executives care about productivity I’ve just been on a bit of a summer break. Did a bit of travel locally. Visited Hvalfjörður. Walked a lot. I know from experience that if I don’t take a summer break, the winter becomes more of a slog and my thoughts become groggier. Often, as soon as you rest, your mind starts to “helpfully” come up with ideas to help fill your time. One of the invasive thoughts that kept prodding my brain during my break was about mo

AI promised efficiency. Instead, it's making us work harder

A note: This is a different kind of post than I usually send from After Burnout. Instead of something raw, short, and personal, this is more of a deep-dive article. But given how much this topic connects to burnout and our relationship with productivity tools, it felt important to share. We were promised a productivity revolution. AI tools would handle the boring stuff, freeing us to focus on creative, strategic work. We’d finally have time to think, to innovate, to maybe even leave the office

5 productivity apps I swear by, and one of them unlocks the rest

Joe Maring / Android Authority Productivity apps are the bane of the app world. On one end of the spectrum are the total nerds who could shame a cyborg with their organizing skills, and on the other are those who dump everything into Google Keep just to have everything in one place. I live somewhere in the middle. I’m not pedantic enough to run the most complex Notion server and flex about it on Reddit, nor am I a simpleton who relies solely on a notes app. I use a bunch of apps every day to i

AI Won’t Boost Human Productivity Yet, U.S. Federal Reserve Says

gizmodo.com Ece Yildirim 2025-12-10 16:00:13

Generative AI is not just another tech hype cycle that is bound to die down but is instead a game-changer for human productivity, according to the Federal Reserve. The big caveat, though, is the road to get there will be “inherently slow” and “fraught with risk.” In a recent paper published by the Fed Board of Governors, researchers suggest that the hype around generative AI is probably not a bubble in the long run and that the technology will be a serious macroeconomic force, proving to have r

Nvidia CEO Says He Has Plans to Either Change or Eliminate Every Single Person's Job With AI

Wall Street was bristling earlier this month as the chipmaker Nvidia behind the AI boom hit a record market value of $3.92 trillion, narrowly eclipsing Apple's record of $3.915 trillion set last December. Just days later, Nvidia became the most valuable company in history, breaking the $4 trillion value ceiling and pushing CEO Jensen Huang up to being the world's sixth richest person, with a net worth of over $143 billion.

MacBook Air M4 in Sky Blue Kyle Kucharski/ZDNET When Apple announced the MacBook Air M4 earlier this year, it was clear that the laptop would be an incremental upgrade from last year's model, with the latest in Apple silicon and a host of software and AI-powered features. The fact that the 13-inch version was $100 less was a pleasant surprise, however, positioning it as a competitive choice in the current market.

Bernie Sanders says that if AI makes us so productive, we should get a 4-day workweek

techcrunch.com Amanda Silberling 2026-02-20 06:18:28

As AI companies rave about how their products are revolutionizing productivity, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) wants the tech industry to put its money where its automated mouth is. In a recent interview with podcaster Joe Rogan, Sanders argued that the time saved with AI tools should be given back to workers to spend with their families. “Technology is gonna work to improve us, not just the people who own the technology and the CEOs of large corporations,” Sanders said. “You are a worker, your

Managing time when time doesn't exist

The Ultimate Productivity Paradox Imagine explaining to your boss why you’re late for a meeting because time doesn’t actually exist. Not in the philosophical “time is a social construct” sense that gets you invited to fewer dinner parties, but in the rigorous scientific sense where quantum gravity’s most fundamental equations contain absolutely no time variable whatsoever. You’d be attempting to justify tardiness using cutting-edge physics to someone whose greatest temporal insight is schedulin
