Why is this Canadian university scared of you seeing its Privacy Impact Assessment?
Tumblr media
I'm coming to DEFCON! On Aug 9, I'm emceeing the EFF POKER TOURNAMENT (noon at the Horseshoe Poker Room), and appearing on the BRICKED AND ABANDONED panel (5PM, LVCC - L1 - HW1–11–01). On Aug 10, I'm giving a keynote called "DISENSHITTIFY OR DIE! How hackers can seize the means of computation and build a new, good internet that is hardened against our asshole bosses' insatiable horniness for enshittification" (noon, LVCC - L1 - HW1–11–01).
Tumblr media
Barbra Streisand is famous for many things: her exciting performances on the big screen, the small screen, and the stage; her Grammy-winning career as a musician (she's a certified EGOT!); and for all the times she's had to correct people who've added an extra vowel to the spelling of her first name (I can relate!).
But a thousand years from now, her legacy is likely to be linguistic, rather than artistic. The "Streisand Effect" – coined by Mike Masnick – describes what happens when someone tries to suppress a piece of information, only to have that act of attempted suppression backfire by inciting vastly more interest in the subject:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect
The term dates to 2003, when Streisand sued the website Pictopia and its proprietors for $50m for reproducing an image from the publicly available California Coastal Records Project (which produces a timeseries of photos of the California coastline in order to track coastal erosion). The image ("Image 3850") incidentally captured the roofs of Streisand's rather amazing coastal compound, which upset Streisand.
But here's the thing: before Streisand's lawsuit, Image 3850 had only been viewed six times. After she filed the case, another 420,000 people downloaded that image. Not only did Streisand lose her suit (disastrously so – she was ordered to pay the defendants' lawyers $177,000 in fees), but she catastrophically failed in her goal of keeping this boring, obscure photo from being seen:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect
Streisand has since called the suit "a mistake." On the one hand, that is very obviously true, but on the other hand, it's still admirable, given how many other failed litigants went to their graves insisting that their foolish and expensive legal gambit was, in fact, very smart and we are all very stupid for failing to understand that.
Which brings me to Ian Linkletter and the Canadian Privacy Library. Linkletter is the librarian and founder of the nonprofit Canadian Privacy Library, a newish online library that collects and organizes privacy-related documents from Canadian public institutions. Linkletter kicked off the project with the goal of collecting the Privacy Impact Assessments from every public university in Canada, starting in his home province of BC.
These PIAs are a legal requirement whenever a public university procures a piece of software, and they're no joke. Ed-tech vendors are pretty goddamned cavalier when it comes to student privacy, as Linkletter knows well. Back in 2020, Linkletter was an ed-tech specialist for the University of British Columbia, where he was called upon to assess Proctorio, a "remote invigilation" tool that monitored remote students while they sat exams.
This is a nightmare category of software, a mix of high-tech phrenology (vendors claim that they can tell when students are cheating by using "AI" to analyze their faces); arrogant techno-sadism (vendors requires students – including those sharing one-room apartments with "essential worker" parents on night shifts who sleep during the day – to pan their cameras around to prove that they are alone); digital racism (products are so bad at recognizing Black faces that some students have had to sit exams with multiple task-lights shining directly onto their faces); and bullshit (vendors routinely lie about their tools' capabilities and efficacy).
Worst: remote invigilation is grounded in the pedagogically bankrupt idea that learning is best (or even plausibly) assessed through high-stakes testing. The kind of person who wants to use these tools generally has no idea how learning works and thinks of students as presumptively guilty cheats. They monitor test-taking students in realtime, and have been known to jiggle test-takers' cursors impatiently when students think too long about their answers. Remote invigilation also captures the eye-movements of test-takers, flagging people who look away from the screen while thinking for potential cheating. No wonder that many students who sit exams under these conditions find themselves so anxious that they vomit or experience diarrhea, carefully staring directly into the camera as they shit themselves or vomit down their shirts, lest they be penalized for looking away or visiting the toilet.
Linkletter quickly realized that Proctorio is a worst-in-class example of a dreadful category. The public-facing materials the company provided about its products were flatly contradicted by the materials they provided to educators, where all the really nasty stuff was buried. The company – whose business exploded during the covid lockdowns – is helmed by CEO Mike Olsen, a nasty piece of work who once doxed a child who criticized him in an online forum:
https://pluralistic.net/2020/07/01/bossware/#moral-exemplar
Proctorio's products are shrouded in secrecy. In 2020, for reasons never explained, all the (terrible, outraged) reviews of its browser plugin disappeared from the Chrome store:
https://pluralistic.net/2021/09/04/hypervigilance/#radical-transparency
Linkletter tweeted his alarming findings, publishing links to the unlisted, but publicly available Youtube videos where Proctorio explained how its products really worked. Proctorio then sued Linkletter, for copyright infringement.
Proctorio's argument is that by linking to materials that they published on Youtube with permissions that let anyone with the link see them, Linkletter infringed upon their copyright. When Linkletter discovered that these videos already had publicly available links, indexed by Google, in the documentation produced by other Proctorio customers for students and teachers, Proctorio doubled down and argued that by collecting these publicly available links to publicly available videos, Linkletter had still somehow infringed on their copyright.
Luckily for Linkletter, BC has an anti-SLAPP law that is supposed to protect whistleblowers facing legal retaliation for publishing protected speech related to matters of public interest (like whether BC's flagship university has bought a defective and harmful product that its students will be forced to use). Unluckily for Linkletter, the law is brand new, lacks jurisprudence, and the courts have decided that he can't use a SLAPP defense and his case must go to trial:
https://pluralistic.net/2023/04/20/links-arent-performances/#free-ian-linkletter
Linkletter could have let that experience frighten him away from the kind of principled advocacy that riles up deep-pocketed, thin-skinned bullies. Instead, he doubled down, founding the Canadian Privacy Library, with the goal of using Freedom of Information requests to catalog all of Canada's post-secondary institutions' privacy assessments. Given how many bodies he found buried in Proctorio's back yard, this feels like the kind of thing that should be made more visible to Canadians.
There are 25 public universities in BC, and Linkletter FOI'ed them all. Eleven provided their PIAs. Eight sent him an estimate of what it would cost them (and thus what they would charge) to assemble these docs for him. Six requested extensions.
One of them threatened to sue.
Langara College is a 19,000-student spinout of Vancouver Community College whose motto is Eruditio Libertas Est ("Knowledge is Freedom"). Linkletter got their 2019 PIA for Microsoft's Office 365 when he FOI'ed the Nicola Valley Institute of Technology (universities often recycle one another's privacy impact assessments, which is fine).
That's where the trouble started. In June, Langara sent Linkletter a letter demanding that he remove their Office 365 PIA; the letter CC'ed two partners in a law firm, and accused Linkletter of copyright infringement. But that's not how copyright – or public records – work. As Linkletter writes, the PIA is "a public record lawfully obtained through an FOI request" – it is neither exempted from disclosure, nor is it confidential:
https://www.privacylibrary.ca/legal-threat/
Langara claims that in making their mandatory Privacy Impact Assessment for Office 365 available, Linkletter has exposed them to "heightened risks of data breaches and privacy incidents," they provided no evidence to support this assertion.
I think they're full of shit, but you don't have to take my word for it. After initially removing the PIA, Linkletter restored it, and you can read it for yourself:
https://www.privacylibrary.ca/langara-college-privacy-impact-assessments/
I read it. It is pretty goddamned anodyne – about as exciting as looking at the roof of Barbra Streisand's mansion.
Sometimes, where there's smoke, there's only Streisand – a person who has foolishly decided to use the law to bully a weaker stranger out of disclosing some innocuous and publicly available fact about themselves. But sometimes, where there's smoke, there's fire. A lot of people who read my work are much more familiar with ed-tech, privacy, and pedagogy than I am. If that's you, maybe you want to peruse the Langara PIA to see if they are hiding something because they're exposing their students to privacy risks and don't want that fact to get out.
There are plenty of potential privacy risks in Office 365! The cloud version of Microsoft Office contains a "bossware" mode that allows bosses to monitor their workers' keystrokes for spelling, content, and accuracy, and produce neat charts of which employees are least "productive." The joke's on the boss, though: Office 365 also has a tool that lets you compare your department's usage of Office 365 to your competitors, which is another way of saying that Microsoft is gathering your trade secrets and handing it out to your direct competitors:
https://pluralistic.net/2021/02/24/gwb-rumsfeld-monsters/#bossware
So, yeah, there are lots of "features" in Office 365 that could give rise to privacy threats when it is used at a university. One hopes that Langara correctly assessed these risks and accounted for them in its PIA, which would mean that they are bullying Linkletter out of reflex, rather than to cover up wrongdoing. But there's only one way to find out: go through the doc that Linkletter has restored to public view.
Linkletter has excellent pro bono representation from Norton Rose Fulbright, a large and powerful law-firm that is handling his Proctorio case. Linkletter writes, "they have put this public college on notice that any proceeding is liable to be dismissed pursuant to the Protection of Public Participation Act, BC’s anti-SLAPP legislation."
Langara has now found themselves at the bottom of a hole, and if they're smart, they'll stop digging.

A study claims to have proof of what some have suspected: return to office mandates are just back-channel layoffs and post-COVID work culture is making everyone miserable. 
HR software biz BambooHR surveyed more than 1,500 employees, a third of whom work in HR. The findings suggest the return to office movement has been a poorly-executed failure, but one particular figure stands out - a quarter of executives and a fifth of HR professionals hoped RTO mandates would result in staff leaving. 
While that statistic essentially admits the quiet part out loud, there was some merit to that belief. People did quit when RTO mandates were enforced at many of the largest companies, but it wasn't enough, the study reports.
More than a third (37 percent) of respondents in leadership roles believed their employers had undertaken layoffs in the past 12 months as a result of too few people quitting in protest of RTO mandates, the study found. Nearly the same number thought their management wanted employees back in the office to monitor them more closely. 
The end result has been the growth of a different office culture, one that's even more performative, suspicious, and divisive than before the COVID pandemic, the study concludes. 
[...]
The study might not be reality-shattering, but it does present data that matches what's otherwise been inferred from headlines. 
Economist Nick Bloom declared return to office dead late last year, arguing that implementation rates had flattened, and that remote work had won. By February of this year enough financial results had come out to draw some conclusions about the impact of RTO on profits, and that data showed no improvement. 
And then there's companies and their impressions of RTO themselves: 22 percent of HR professionals who responded to the survey admitted that, despite going the RTO route, they had no metrics in place to measure success. 
In other words, companies have been hasty with RTO plans, some have no way to gauge whether it's been positive, and meanwhile employees are miserable (even those who work remotely) because of an increase in workplace surveillance culture. Employee happiness metrics tracked by Bamboo, Grantham noted, reached an all-time low at the end of 2023, although said that the biggest driver in that figure was low pay. 
The key to success, whether staff stay remote, return to office, or go hybrid, is an open culture that listens to employees and doesn't micromanage, Grantham proposed.

With Teslas, it is not just remote unlocking and tracking ability that shows who holds the power here. It’s the fact that Teslas are incredibly difficult for independent repair shops to fix. It’s the subscription “Premium Connectivity” entertainment features. It’s the fact that entire feature sets like “full self driving,” which are built into the car’s hardware, can only be unlocked with expensive software purchases or subscriptions. It’s the fact that random Tesla workers spied on customers using onboard cameras and shared them with each other. It’s the fact that cops see Teslas near crime scenes as potential sources of video footage.

On June 11th, the Cybernews research team discovered an unprotected Amazon S3 storage bucket associated with the WebWork Tracker application, operated by a software company based in Yerevan, Armenia.
The company provides multiple services to organize the workforce, such as tracking remote workers' time and productivity and billing services.
Clients using the company’s service include San Francisco-based remote hiring giant Deel, as well as businesses in Austria, the Netherlands, India, and the US. According to the WebWork Tracker website, the platform has over 140,000 users and serves over 15,000 businesses worldwide.
The company’s time tracking application takes screenshots of the users' screens to show the employer what the remote worker has been working on. The screenshots were uploaded to the company’s cloud, which was misconfigured and lacked authentication.

ERP Trends in India: What Businesses Need to Know in 2025
As we step into 2025, India’s digital transformation continues to gain momentum, with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems playing a pivotal role in this journey. From MSMEs to large enterprises, companies across India are embracing modern ERP systems to streamline operations, improve productivity, and gain real-time insights. However, the ERP landscape is not static. New technologies, business models, and market demands are reshaping how ERP solutions are built and deployed. To stay competitive, businesses are increasingly turning to a trusted custom erp software development that can deliver tailored, future-ready solutions to meet evolving needs..
For any business leader or decision-maker, staying updated on ERP trends is essential for long-term growth. Here’s what you need to know about ERP in India in 2025—and why partnering with a trusted ERP software development company is more critical than ever.
1. Cloud-Native ERP Takes Center Stage
The move to cloud-based ERP systems has evolved from a trend to a business essential.. In 2025, more than 70% of Indian businesses are expected to run at least one core ERP module on the cloud. Whether it's finance, inventory, HR, or supply chain management, cloud-native ERP provides unmatched flexibility, cost-efficiency, and scalability.
Why it matters:
Cloud ERP allows companies to access real-time data from anywhere, a must-have for remote teams and decentralized operations. For growing startups and SMEs, it eliminates the need for heavy upfront IT investments.
Pro Tip: Choose an ERP software development company that specializes in building and managing secure, cloud-first ERP platforms with scalable architecture.
2. AI and Automation Are Now Standard Features
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are no longer futuristic add-ons—they’re integrated features in leading ERP solutions. In India, sectors like manufacturing, retail, and logistics are already using AI-driven ERP systems for demand forecasting, automated purchase orders, and predictive maintenance.
Key applications:
Intelligent inventory control
Automated approval workflows
Smart financial analytics
AI-driven chatbots for internal support
The automation of repetitive tasks helps save time and reduce manual errors, leading to better productivity and cost savings.
3. Mobile-First ERP for the Indian Workforce
In a mobile-first country like India, mobile ERP access has become a non-negotiable feature. Field workers, sales teams, and warehouse staff need real-time data on the go. ERP software development companies in India are now designing mobile-first ERP systems that are lightweight, intuitive, and offline-capable.
Use Cases:
Sales reps accessing customer data during visits
Real-time order tracking for logistics staff
On-field inventory updates
Mobile ERP boosts agility by giving teams instant access to data and tools anytime, anywhere.
4. Industry-Specific ERP Solutions Are in Demand
Gone are the days of one-size-fits-all ERP systems. In 2025, Indian businesses are looking for industry-specific ERP solutions tailored to their unique workflows. Whether it's textile manufacturing, hospital chains, or eCommerce logistics, businesses are opting for custom ERP modules instead of generic systems.
A reliable ERP software development company now provides modular ERP architecture where businesses can pick and choose the functionalities they need.
Top Industries adopting vertical ERP:
FMCG and Retail
Healthcare
Education and EdTech
Agriculture and Food Processing
5. Focus on Data Privacy and Compliance
With increasing concerns around data protection, ERP systems in India must now comply with regulations like India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA), GST mandates, and other sectoral norms. Modern ERP platforms are now expected to include strong role-based access controls, detailed audit trails, and advanced encryption for data security.
Companies are also investing in ERP systems that offer built-in compliance features to stay audit-ready at all times.
Choosing the Right Partner:
Ensure that your ERP software development company is experienced in implementing secure, regulation-compliant ERP systems tailored for Indian legal frameworks.
6. Integration with Other Business Tools
ERP is no longer a standalone solution. In 2025, seamless integration with other platforms—CRM, HRMS, accounting software, BI dashboards, and payment gateways—is a top priority. Indian businesses want ERP systems that unify all operations under one ecosystem, ensuring data consistency and reducing duplication.
APIs and low-code/no-code integration tools are becoming essential in ERP software development. Businesses should opt for flexible ERP systems that can grow with their tech stack.
7. Rise of Small Business ERP Adoption
The biggest growth segment in 2025 is expected to be small and medium businesses. Thanks to affordable SaaS pricing, low-code platforms, and government initiatives like Digital MSME, more small businesses are investing in ERP than ever before.
Local ERP software development companies are offering lightweight, affordable ERP solutions tailored for MSMEs with quick deployment timelines and localized support.
Final Thoughts
2025 marks a major inflection point for ERP adoption in India. Businesses that adapt to these ERP trends—cloud-first infrastructure, AI-driven workflows, mobile access, and compliance-readiness—will have a clear competitive edge. However, success hinges on choosing the right ERP software development company that understands your business and delivers scalable, custom-built solutions. In many cases, companies offering ERP solutions are also expanding into related domains, such as becoming a crypto wallet development company, to meet the evolving needs of tech-savvy businesses.
Whether you're a growing startup or a large enterprise, now is the time to modernize your operations with a future-ready ERP system.
Looking for a dependable ERP software development company in India?
Partner with experts who understand your domain and can build an ERP solution that aligns with your business vision. The future of business automation starts here.

What Is Payroll? A Simple Guide for Businesses
Payroll might seem like just another back-office task, but it's one of the most critical functions in any organization. Whether you're running a small startup or managing hundreds of employees, getting payroll right is essential—not just for compliance, but also for keeping your team happy and motivated.
In this guide, we’ll break down what payroll is, why it matters, and how you can manage it more efficiently.
Tumblr media
What Is Payroll?
At its core, payroll is the process of calculating and distributing wages to employees. But it's not just writing checks or direct deposits—it includes:
Tracking hours worked
Calculating gross pay
Withholding taxes and deductions
Issuing pay stubs
Filing payroll taxes with the government
Maintaining payroll records
Why Payroll Matters
Legal Compliance: Incorrect payroll can lead to penalties from the IRS or local agencies. Staying compliant means avoiding costly fines.
Employee Trust: Late or inaccurate paychecks can seriously damage morale. A reliable payroll process shows professionalism and respect.
Financial Planning: Payroll is often the largest expense for a business. Accurate payroll supports better budgeting and forecasting.
Common Payroll Challenges
Misclassifying employees vs. contractors
Forgetting tax deadlines
Using outdated software or manual spreadsheets
Navigating multi-state or remote worker laws
Managing benefits and deductions accurately
How to Simplify Payroll
Use Payroll Software: Tools like Gusto, QuickBooks Payroll, or ADP automate much of the work and help reduce errors.
Set a Clear Payroll Schedule: Whether weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly—consistency is key.
Stay Updated on Tax Laws: Federal, state, and local tax rules change regularly. Make sure you or your provider keeps up.
Outsource if Needed: If payroll is taking too much time or causing stress, consider using a payroll service provider.
Conclusion
Payroll may not be the flashiest part of your business, but it's one of the most vital. A solid payroll system helps you stay compliant, improve cash flow, and foster employee satisfaction. Whether you choose to manage it in-house or outsource it, make payroll a priority—it pays off.
How to find Payroll service providers?
Clue- You are already on their website. Futurex Management Solutions does their best research and customizes payroll services that are best for your company. With a growing number of businesses in India and digitalization taking over Payroll service providers are also growing. But, invest time in researching and outsource the assistance that will understand and add value to your company’s goal. Different companies, Departments, roles need to have a different set of customizations for their payrolls, the compliances need to be stated differently depending on the company and the objective of the company. Some roles allow lesser leaves than others, some roles require leaving policies customized for them. The payroll services available in India are many, but you need to make a choice based on your requirements. It is a time-investing process initially where you will have to explain your company goals, size, sales, etc, to the payroll service provider, and then they can form their customized solution for you. Because the legal compliances and tax rules etc. change you also need a payroll service provider that keeps up with the changes and suggests changes from time to time.
Need Help With Payroll? Contact Futurex Management Solutions today to learn how we can simplify and strengthen your payroll processes.

This summer, a Vancouver car mechanic named Max got a perplexing ping on his phone: Betty White was in Ukraine and needed his help. This was surprising because she had died on a Canadian highway back in January.
When Max last saw Betty White, his nickname for his Tesla Model Y Performance, they were both in rough shape after getting sideswiped on the highway. Max’s rotator cuff was torn in several places. The small SUV had bounced off multiple concrete barriers at high speed and was bashed in on all four corners, its wheels ripped to pieces. Coolant appeared to be leaking into the battery chamber. From his own work on EVs in the garage, Max knew that Betty was done for. “No auto shop would put a repair person at risk with that kind of damage,” says Max, whose last name isn’t being used out of doxing concerns. A damaged EV battery can become dangerous due to the risk of shocks, fire, and toxic fumes. His insurer agreed, and Betty was written off and sent to a salvage yard.
Months after he had last seen the car, Max’s Tesla app was now telling him that Betty needed a software update. It showed the car with an extra 200 kilometers on the odometer, fully charged, and parked in Uman, a town in Ukraine’s Cherkasy Oblast, midway between Kyiv and the front line with Russia’s invasion force. Minutes after that first ping, the app showed the car in service mode, suggesting Betty was undergoing repairs. “I thought it must be a mistake,” Max says.
There was no mistake. WIRED tracked Betty down to a Ukrainian auto auction website, looking good as new, maybe even better, with newly tinted windows and rearview mirrors wrapped in black. Betty 2.0 was being sold by “Mikhailo,” who wrote that the car had suffered “a small blow” in Canada and been repaired with original Tesla parts. The price, $55,000, was roughly the same as a new Model Y Performance costs in the US.
Betty White’s intercontinental resurrection was impressive but not unusual. For a long time, cars written off in North America have found their way to Eastern European repair shops willing to take on damage that US and Canadian mechanics won’t touch. In 2021, the most recent data available, Ukraine was a top-three destination for used US passenger vehicles sent overseas, close behind Nigeria and the United Arab Emirates. And Ukraine’s wreck importers and repairers are particularly known for their ingenuity. Some have made fixing EVs written off across the Atlantic into a specialty, helping to drive a surge in the number of electric vehicles on the country’s roads, even as the war with Russia rages.
Though few automakers sell new EVs in Ukraine, the share of newly registered vehicles that are fully electric, 9 percent, is about the same as in the US and nearly double that of neighboring Poland and the Czech Republic. Most of Ukraine’s refurbished EVs come from North America, and many arrive with major damage.
There’s a ready supply of crashed North American EVs in part because electrics are becoming more common, and also because in recent years, relatively new EVs with low mileage have been written off at a higher rate than their gas-powered equivalents, according to data from insurers. US and Canadian repair shops and insurers see them as more dangerous and difficult to fix. Scrapyards find it hard to make money from their parts and instead ship them abroad.
Ivan Malakhovsky is not afraid to work on cases like Betty White. His five-year-old repair business in Dnipro, in eastern Ukraine, fixes about 100 Teslas a month, roughly a fifth of them from overseas, and employs a staff that varies between six to 10 people. He’s currently away from home, serving with the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but he manages his workers, and sometimes makes software-mediated repairs, remotely. “We have problems in our lives and can fix them, whether a battery or a full-scale invasion,” says Malakhovsky. “Electric cars, electric car batteries—it’s no problem.”
An electric vehicle battery is made up of thousands of individual cells, which store and release energy. Sometimes, Malakhovsky says, he and his coworkers will break up large EV batteries damaged beyond repair and repurpose the cells to power electric scooters or even drones for the war effort. He says the vast majority of Teslas on Ukrainian roads were once involved in wrecks in North America.
The war has even boosted Ukraine’s EV resurrection business at times, by driving up gas prices and making electrics more attractive to drivers. Ukraine has a public charging network of some 11,000 chargers, according to Volodymyr Ivanov, the head of communications at Nissan Motor Ukraine—that’s more than the state of New York, and double the number in neighboring Poland. Since 2018, Ukraine’s government has removed most taxes and customs duties on used EV imports. In the US, electric vehicles tend to be expensive, and the average EV driver is still a high-income male homeowner. North American wrecks, Ukraine’s EV incentives, and its relatively low electricity prices have created a different picture. “There is a joke here that all poor people are driving electric cars, and all the rich people are driving petrol cars,” says Malakhovsky. “Tesla is a common-people, popular car because it’s very cheap in maintenance.”
That’s a relatively recent development, says Hans Eric Melin, head of Circular Energy Storage, a UK-based consultancy that tracks the international flows of used EVs and batteries. He began watching the Ukraine market in particular a few years ago, after he noticed more ads for Nissan Leafs on auction sites listed in Ukrainian than in English. At the time, the Leaf, a pioneer among EVs, was essentially the only one that had been around long enough to develop a healthy used market. Over time, Ukraine’s electric fleet grew to encompass the full range of EVs sold around the world, including Teslas, as more cars hit the roads and aged or got into crashes.
Melin had suspected Ukraine’s EV boom would end with the war. “I was completely wrong,” he says. By this summer, Ukraine’s EV fleet had doubled since July 2021, to 64,312, according to data compiled by the Automotive Market Research Institute, a Ukrainian research and advocacy group.
Tumblr media
Roman Tyschenko, a 25-year-old IT worker who lives in Kyiv, decided last September that he was sick of his Jeep’s $400-a-month gas bill. Friends had purchased used, damaged electric cars on an online auction website called Copart, a US-based public auto reseller with 200 locations around the world. He logged on and spent $24,000 on a gray 2021 Tesla Model Y that had taken a solid blow to its passenger side in Dallas, Texas. Its bumper was almost fully detached; its hood was tented; some of its airbags had deployed.
That Texan Model Y was likely declared totaled by an insurer. From there, it probably moved to a salvage auction in the US, where licensed exporters, salvage shops, and repairers tried to figure out how much value they could squeeze out of the wreck. The winner, or perhaps the insurer itself, listed the car on Copart, which made it available to anyone around the world who wanted a smashed-up Tesla and was willing to pay for shipping.
If Tyschenko hadn’t brought the Texan Tesla to Ukraine himself, it had a good chance of being shipped there anyway by someone who professionally flips cars to countries like Ukraine. These exporters look for wrecks potentially worth more than their scrap value, but little enough that an expensive US repair and resale wouldn’t make sense. Some ship vehicles directly to Ukrainian repairers and pay for the fix, while others import damaged cars and relist them for sale to Ukrainian buyers who can figure it out for themselves.
It takes a damaged North American car between one and five months to reach a nearby port. Before the war, wrecked cars headed to Ukraine’s Port of Odessa on the Black Sea. Since Russia invaded in 2022, they come through Klaipėda in Lithuania on the Baltic Sea, or Koper in Slovenia on the Adriatic, and are brought to Ukraine by truck. A shop like Malakhovsky’s can fix a Tesla in somewhere between one week and one year, depending on the damage.
Tyschenko arranged for his Model Y to be shipped to a local repair shop in Kyiv, where it arrived in February 2023, five months after he hit the Buy button online. The technician sent him videos of the EV’s ongoing revamp every few weeks, and Tyschenko stopped by to visit a handful of times. By May, he had paid the technician some $25,000 for his work and was driving the Model Y around Kyiv.
Two months later, the battery died and Tyschenko spent another $4,000 to replace it—a demonstration of the risks of electric vehicle rescues. Still, he’s happy with how things worked out, and now pays just $10 to $100 a month to refuel his car, depending on whether he charges at home or at public stations.
Finding parts to repair Teslas and other EVs can be a challenge. On Facebook and Telegram, groups like “Renault Zoe Club Ukraine” host thousands of EV owners who barter with each other for spare parts. Oleksandr Perepelitsa, a 25-year-old electric vehicle repairer in Kyiv, says that when he first began his work three years ago, he and his business partners would buy two wrecked Teslas from overseas to create a single working vehicle to sell to local Ukranians. “Even that was profitable for us,” he says. Now, business connections can send Tesla parts from the US or Europe, or repairers buy cheaper Chinese reproductions.
Tumblr media
The success of Ukraine’s EV resurrection industry is the flip side of the failure of insurers and manufacturers in North America to figure out what to do when a shiny new EV becomes roadkill.
US insurers are more willing to write off vehicles of all kinds that in the past may have been fixed. New vehicle repairs have gotten more expensive, in part due to vehicles getting more complex and computerized, as well as a shortage of vehicle technicians. In the past decade, the damaged cars up for auction “are better and less damaged,” Copart CEO Jeff Liaw told investors on an earnings call this year.
Industry-wide data is hard to come by, but numerous sources suggest that EVs are more likely to be written off than gas-powered cars, and can be declared unfixable after even minor crashes. A Reuters analysis this year found that a “large portion” of damaged EVs sold for scrap were low-mileage, nearly-new vehicles. While one in 10 new cars sold in the US and Canada this year are forecasted to be electric, the infrastructure and expertise needed to assess and fix damaged EVs can be patchy. “In an ideal world, electric vehicles are as easy to repair as internal combustion engine vehicles,” says Mark Fry, research manager at Thatcham Research, which crunches auto market data for insurers and other clients. It recently found British EVs get written off at disproportionately high rates.
The main reason EV repairs are so tricky comes down to a lack of agreement on how to handle EV batteries after a crash. Worldwide, there is no industry standard for measuring battery health. Vehicle manufacturers sometimes refuse to sanction battery repairs because of liability concerns. “If you repair the battery, what's it going to be like after another two, three years and another 50,000 miles?” Fry says. It’s easier to let nearly new vehicles be declared dead than to find out.
The North American scrap industry is also somewhat leery of EVs, says Megan Slattery, a researcher at UC Davis who studies what happens to damaged EV batteries. Scrap businesses generally make money by taking cars apart to extract the most valuable widgets to resell. But dismantling a battery takes dedicated workers, equipment, and—most important of all—space, due to the fire risks of storing lithium-ion cells. Many mom-and-pop dismantlers don’t have any of that.
Plus, EVs tend to have simpler drivetrains, with more plastic and large, prefabricated body components that can’t be easily pulled apart. In some electric vehicles, the battery is built directly into the car’s structure, making it especially difficult to dismantle or repair. All of that means that exporters looking to sell to eager buyers abroad have less competition when bidding on totaled cars.
In the US, there’s increasing pressure to keep broken EVs from heading overseas. Regulators are concerned about safety, hoping to better track broken batteries through shipping channels as fears rise of fires sparked by used EVs, including on cargo ships. Another is to avoid dumping e-waste on countries without the means to recycle or repurpose, and instead keep the valuable minerals inside batteries local. Battery recycling startups have received vast amounts of private and public investment—both in Western Europe and the US, with funds from the Inflation Reduction Act—with a promise to help shore up raw material supply chains. But so far, they have received only a trickle of used batteries.
Policies that wind up choking off the export of EV wrecks would in some ways be a shame, Slattery says. More stringent European Union export rules for used cars and EV batteries in particular are one reason why the supply of Teslas to Eastern Europe is so dependent on North American wrecks. Without them, the electric revolution would be much less advanced in places like Ukraine, where US and Canadian write-offs have helped support the emergence of charger networks, trained repair specialists, and a wide familiarity and acceptance that electric propulsion is not just green but also practical.
In North America, there's a widespread belief that “people don't want electric vehicles and that it's just laws and regulations that push us to buy them,” says Melin, the used EV analyst. “There are other markets that want to have electrics.” It’s a testament to a system that is working, Melin adds, that used EVs end up in places like Ukraine, where new models are difficult to come by.
For Max in Vancouver, Betty White’s reappearance overseas did cause some headaches. The car was still logged into his Google, Netflix, and Spotify accounts, potentially allowing the new owners to access his personal data. When he asked Tesla support, he was advised to change his passwords, Max says. (Tesla did not respond to WIRED’s questions.)
But looking back on the crash, and now driving a new Model Y—named Black Betty—Max says his old car’s resurrection is the best possible outcome. “I’m happy to see that Betty White has lived to see another day,” he says.

https://www.wsj.com/lifestyle/workplace/the-jiggle-is-up-bosses-bust-workers-who-fake-computer-activity-b6374f22
It’s getting harder to outsmart the digital minders at work.
The rise of remote work and, in turn, employee-monitoring software sparked a boom in mouse and keyboard jigglers and other hacks to help staffers fake computer activity—often so they can step away to do laundry or a school pickup.
Now some companies are cracking down on the subterfuge, deploying tools that can better spot the phony busywork.
The latest salvo in this productivity-tracking arms race came in a recent regulatory filing from Wells Fargo. In the disclosure, first reported on by Bloomberg News, the bank said it had fired more than a dozen employees in its wealth and investment management unit for allegedly simulating keyboard activity to create the “impression of active work.”

🛰️ The Sky Has Eyes: How Solar Panel Drone Inspection Is Changing Clean Energy Forever ☀️
Let’s face it: solar panels are awesome. They turn sunlight into electricity. They save you money. They’re good for the planet. 🌍
But like anything else exposed to the elements 24/7, they don’t stay perfect forever.
So how do we really make sure they’re still working like they should?
With drones.
Yes, really. Welcome to the world of solar panel drone inspection — a brilliant blend of aerial technology and smart diagnostics that’s helping the renewable energy sector shine even brighter. 🌞
🔍 What Is Solar Panel Drone Inspection?
In simple terms: Solar panel drone inspection is the use of drones (also called UAVs — Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) to scan, assess, and report the condition of solar panels.
These drones are equipped with:
High-resolution cameras
Drone thermal imaging sensors
GPS and mapping tech
Sometimes even AI-powered analytics
And they fly above rooftops, solar farms, or industrial PV installations to detect everything from cracks to hotspots to dirty cells.
🚨 Why Solar Panels Need Regular Inspection
Most people think solar panels are maintenance-free.
Technically… yes and no.
Yes, they’re low maintenance.
But no, they’re not immune to:
Bird droppings 🐦
Dust storms 🌀
Microcracks from hail
Faulty connections
Overheating (aka hotspots)
These things silently lower your panel’s energy output. That means your investment pays back slower — or not at all.
That’s why solar panel drone inspection is crucial. It keeps your system in top shape and your ROI on track.
🛫 How It Works: Step-by-Step
Flight Plan Setup Using aerial mapping tools, a route is planned to cover every panel from above.
Drone Flight The drone takes off and flies over the array, capturing both regular and thermal images.
Thermal Imaging Analysis The system uses infrared cameras to detect heat differences — perfect for spotting hotspots, failed modules, or shading issues.
Image Processing Data is run through software (sometimes AI-powered) to detect faults and generate a maintenance report.
Actionable Results You get a map highlighting which panels need cleaning, repair, or replacement — with exact locations.
It’s called aerial solar inspection, and it’s 10x faster than doing it manually.
⚡ Why It’s Better Than Traditional Inspections
Let’s break it down. Manual InspectionDrone InspectionRisky for workers 🧗Safe & remote ✈️Time-consuming 🕒Super fast ⏩Human error-prone 🧠AI precision 🤖Limited thermal checks 🌡️Advanced drone thermal imaging 🔥Downtime required ❌Inspect while system runs ✅
Whether you’re checking 12 panels or 12,000 — solar drone inspection just makes sense.
🔍 What Drones Can Detect
With PV panel inspection drones, you can identify:
🔥 Hotspots (overheating solar cells)
⚠️ Diode malfunctions
🔌 Connection faults
💔 Cracked glass or delamination
🌫️ Dirt accumulation
🧱 Shading or structural obstacles
⚡ PID (Potential-Induced Degradation)
Basically, drones see what the human eye can't — especially with thermal drone cameras.
🌍 Who’s Using This Technology?
Everyone in solar is getting on board:
✅ Homeowners with rooftop solar ✅ Commercial property managers ✅ Solar farm operators ✅ Renewable energy consultants ✅ Insurance assessors & auditors ✅ Solar EPC and O&M teams
From small rooftops to massive 100 MW solar parks, drone solar inspection is becoming standard practice.
🔧 Best Drones for Solar Inspections
Looking to get into solar farm monitoring with drones? Here are top models used in the industry:
DJI Matrice 30T – heavy-duty, dual visual + thermal cameras
DJI Mavic 3T – compact, budget-friendly, thermal capable
Autel EVO II Dual – great for thermal imaging and long flight times
Parrot Anafi USA – lightweight and powerful
Pair these with platforms like DroneDeploy, Scopito, or Pix4D for data processing and AI-based fault detection.
💰 How Much Does It Cost?
Here’s a rough idea (Indian pricing as of 2025):
🏠 Small rooftop (0–10kW): ₹5,000–₹8,000
🏢 Commercial setup (10–100kW): ₹10,000–₹25,000
🌾 Solar farm (1MW+): Per MW basis or annual contract
The best part? You don’t need to inspect monthly. Even biannual drone inspections are enough to keep your solar system running optimally.
📈 Real-World Benefits
Case Study – Rajasthan Solar Farm A 70 MW solar plant switched to drone inspections in 2024. In 3 days, they:
Scanned over 200,000 panels
Found and fixed 312 malfunctioning modules
Increased output by 2.4%
Saved ₹7.2 lakhs in energy loss within 2 months
Drone inspections also reduced their O&M costs by nearly 30%.
🧠 AI, Automation & The Future
Where is this going?
Expect solar inspections to become even smarter:
🤖 Drones with onboard AI for real-time decisions
⚡ Instant push alerts from aerial scans
🔄 Integration with IoT sensors on panels
📊 Dashboards tracking health, cleaning needs, and fault trends
🔐 Blockchain-based inspection logs for audits & warranties
Drone solar panel monitoring isn’t just helpful — it’s becoming essential.
🧼 Bonus: Clean Panels = More Power
Think your panels are clean? Think again.
Just a thin layer of dust can reduce output by 5–10%. After drone inspection pinpoints dirty panels, targeted cleaning can restore full performance — especially in dry or polluted areas.
Combine drone insights with automated cleaning robots, and you’re in solar maintenance heaven.
✨ Final Thought
If you're serious about clean energy, you have to be serious about solar panel performance. And performance needs visibility.
That’s what solar panel drone inspection delivers: 🛰️ Clarity. 🔎 Precision. ⚡ Actionable insights. 📈 Better ROI.
Whether you manage a rooftop or a 500-acre solar park, drones give your solar system the edge it deserves.
Let the sun shine — and let the drones fly. 🌞🛸

Blockchain for Transparent Payroll, Timesheet & Freelancer Payments
Tumblr media
The complexities of managing payroll, timesheets, and freelancer payments often lead to administrative overhead, errors, delayed payments, and trust issues. As the gig economy rises, traditional payroll systems fall short in offering speed, transparency, and tamper-proof records. That’s where blockchain technology steps in.
The blockchain payroll system India landscape is evolving rapidly, driven by demand for real-time, auditable, and smart contract-enabled automation. In this blog, we dive deep into how blockchain is transforming payroll systems and freelancer payments while reshaping the financial transparency across enterprises.
1. Why Blockchain for Payroll and Timesheets?
Blockchain's distributed ledger ensures that every transaction is recorded immutably. This characteristic makes it ideal for automating payroll and timesheet records.
Key benefits include:
Immutable Audit Trails: Every logged hour or transaction is permanent and time-stamped.
Smart Contracts: Automatically trigger payments when conditions (like completed hours or approvals) are met.
Reduced Costs: Eliminates intermediaries and delays in cross-border payments.
Real-Time Verification: HR and finance departments can verify data instantly without redundant communication.
As businesses grow and diversify, especially with remote and freelance workers, a freelancer payments using blockchain India solution offers scalable automation with minimal friction.
2. Current Challenges in Traditional Systems
Before diving deeper, let's address what traditional payroll and timesheet systems struggle with:
Manual Errors: Excel sheets and form submissions are error-prone.
Lack of Transparency: Employees or freelancers may question the accuracy of logged hours or delayed salaries.
Regulatory Compliance: Audits and documentation become nightmares when records are fragmented.
Cross-Border Inefficiencies: Freelancers in different countries face delays and high conversion costs.
Blockchain addresses all these challenges at once. Especially in India, where startups and SMEs are heavily hiring freelancers and contract workers, the blockchain payroll system India offers a decentralized alternative to centralized errors.
3. How It Works: A Technical Overview
A blockchain-based payroll solution integrates:
Time Tracking Systems: Biometric, GPS, or project-based logging tools push logs to the blockchain.
Smart Contracts: Predefined logic (e.g., 40 hours/week = ₹X payment) gets encoded.
Tokenized Payments: Companies can either pay via crypto (stablecoins) or connect to traditional banks via blockchain bridges.
Auditing Nodes: External or internal stakeholders can verify records anytime.
For freelancer payments using blockchain India, the smart contract model is a game-changer. For example, if a freelance designer submits a milestone and the client approves it, payment is released automatically without needing multiple email follow-ups.
4. Use Case: Freelancer Timesheet & Payroll Automation
Let’s say an Indian design agency outsources projects to freelancers globally. Each designer logs time in a shared tool, which syncs to a blockchain.
The client-side project manager reviews and approves weekly timesheets.
A smart contract linked to these timesheets releases USDT (or INR equivalent) via a crypto wallet.
The freelancer gets paid in minutes, not days.
This system:
Builds trust between both parties.
Reduces admin work.
Automates compliance and taxation logs.
Thanks to freelancer payments using blockchain India, disputes around “unpaid hours” or “unapproved invoices” are almost eliminated.
5. Advantages for Indian Enterprises
India's rise in IT services, gig economy, and freelance hiring makes it an ideal region for blockchain payroll adoption. Some real-world benefits include:
Regulatory Alignment: Smart contracts can be customized to match GST rules or labor laws.
Global Hiring: Pay developers or writers abroad in USDC or stablecoins without SWIFT delays.
Faster Reconciliation: HR and finance teams can quickly audit time entries and salary disbursals.
Fraud Prevention: No more ghost employees or manipulated hours.
With these advantages, the blockchain payroll system India is poised to go mainstream in sectors like IT services, media, logistics, and design.
6. Legal and Compliance Considerations
While blockchain introduces many benefits, enterprises must be cautious about:
Tax Regulations: Cryptocurrency payments must be disclosed and taxed appropriately.
Data Privacy Laws: Ensure GDPR or DPDP Act compliance when storing personal details.
Smart Contract Validation: Use well-audited smart contracts to avoid vulnerabilities.
A good blockchain payroll system India setup works best when it’s compliant with Indian income tax, labor laws, and international remittance rules.
7. Integration with Existing Systems
Blockchain doesn't need to replace your HRMS or ERP software—it can integrate seamlessly with:
Zoho, SAP, or Tally for financial records.
Slack or Jira for time tracking.
Google Sheets or Notion via APIs.
Digisailor, a leading technology partner offering blockchain payroll system India, provides integration support with existing HR and payment tools.
