SUMMARY: Microsoft has announced a new round of layoffs, impacting 3% of its workforce, including 2,000 employees in Western Washington. Despite strong sales, the company cited the need to streamline operations for greater efficiency. This follows earlier layoffs in January. The job cuts are expected to affect all regions and positions, with a focus on management. The move is expected to hurt local businesses, particularly those that rely on Microsoft employees. Meanwhile, Amazon has introduced AI-driven robots to sort packages, raising concerns about potential job losses in its warehouses. Additionally, a cyberattack on education vendor PowerSchool exposed sensitive data of millions of students and teachers.

Microsoft says it is laying off nearly 3% of its entire workforce, meanwhile Amazon unveiled more than 750-thousand robots it will use to sort, lift and carry packages in the company’s warehouses.

SUMMARY: Project Lifesaver in Nicholas County, West Virginia, helps locate individuals at risk of wandering, providing peace of mind for families. The program, especially beneficial for children with autism or adults with dementia, uses an ankle monitor to track a person’s location. Crystal Taylor, a single mother of a 13-year-old with autism, signed up for the program 11 years ago. She says it gives her confidence that if her son wanders off, the sheriff’s department can quickly locate him. The program reassures parents and caregivers, ensuring the safety of their loved ones with timely responses from local deputies.
