MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sandisk Corporation (NASDAQ: SNDK) today announced the formation of a Technical Advisory Board to guide the development and strategy of its groundbreaking High Bandwidth Flash (HBF™) memory technology. The board includes industry experts and senior technical leaders from both within and outside the company. Appointed today, Professor David Patterson and Raja Koduri will provide strategic guidance, technical insight, market perspective, and shape open standards as Sandisk prepares to launch HBF. 'We're honored to have two distinguished computer architecture experts join our Technical Advisory Board,' said Alper Ilkbahar, Executive Vice President, Chief Technology Officer, and HBF Technical Advisory Board member at Sandisk. 'Their collective experience and strategic counsel will be instrumental in shaping HBF as the future memory standard for the AI industry, and affirming we not only meet but exceed the expectations of our customers and partners.' Professor David Patterson, Pardee Professor of Computer Science, Emeritus at the University of California at Berkeley and a Google distinguished engineer, will lead the Technical Advisory Board and guide the group toward actionable insights and decisions.

Virgin Media down again after customers complained about 'total blackout'
Hundreds of people have reported that Virgin Media is down again this morning, a day after widespreaad outages. Over a thousand reports of problems were made on Tuesday morning, according to internet disruption tracker Downdetector. Yesterday, Virgin said the issue had now been resolved, and apologised to affected customers for the inconvience. However, this morning people were still sending messages to their customer services team saying they had 'no internet, no TV'. Another wrote: 'No internet service this morning. Any update on outage in UB5? I'm supposed to be working from home.' On Monday, some said that the issue appeared right as they were trying to watch day five of the England vs India cricket test match, and could not access Sky Sports. When the outage was ongoing yesterday, David Patterson wrote on X: 'I can't log onto SkySports. It seems to go wrong during the login to VirginMedia from the SkySports Site. I can't believe I'm missing the end of the Test Match!! Help!' A Virgin Media spokesperson posted in reply: 'This is a known issue. Please send us a DM though so we can feedback your details to the team.' One user shared screenshots showing they were first told 'Apologies, we can't load the page at the moment', and then: 'Our systems are currently down for maintenance, you can try again after 7am.' Others queried whether the problem could be related to a new verification system for log-ins. One man wrote: 'It looks like your new authentication service – which only started today – is either struggling with volumes of registration or not able to send SMS. Please do pass to your support team.' Downdetector reports today were split between people saying internet was affected, email, or a 'total blackout'. One user wrote on X: 'Still unable to access my account for emails, now over 24 hours….any update on a fix please.'

Stable careers are a myth and no one wants to be a leader: A new report reveals the depths of worker pessimism with corporate America
Good morning! The once-stable 9-to-5 job is increasingly becoming a thing of the past. Workers are struggling to thrive in a challenging economy, and few are even aspiring for traditional corporate success. More than half of workers (61%) believe the idea of a 'stable full-time job' is a myth in today's hiring landscape, including 72% of Gen Z professionals, according to a new report of 3,000 employed adults from background checking company Checkr. Around 42% of all respondents, and more than half of Gen Z (52%) say they have side hustles or second jobs—not by choice, but because their current pay doesn't meet their financial needs. 'For employers, these insights are a call to action,' says David Patterson, director of communications at Checkr, in a blog post about the report. 'In a time when polywork is often a necessity, companies that take meaningful steps to support their employees' financial stability might earn stronger loyalty and stand out as employers of choice.' If you thought that financial duress is making workers feel motivated to aim for the corporate office, think again. The majority of employees are unenthused by the prospect of becoming a boss—around 76% of workers overall agree that leadership roles are unattractive because of things like burnout and office politics, including 80% of Gen X and 76% of millennials. Around 61% of workers say that the climb up the corporate ladder feels outdated, with Gen Z and millennials just about tied at 65% and 62% respectively. Even as workers become increasingly disillusioned with traditional career paths, however, they're still looking for a sense of purpose at work. Around 45% of employees overall said that they would take a pay cut if they had a job that was in sync with their values, but still offered room for career growth. That's particularly true for younger generations like Gen Z (52%) and millennials (46%). 'By recognizing that today's workers want more than just titles—they want meaningful work, personal growth, and purpose-driven cultures—companies can design career paths that truly inspire,' the report reads.
