Work From Home, Anywhere—CyberLandr Elevates the Nomad Lifestyle
Stream It, Inc., creator of CyberLandr, the disappearing RV for Tesla's Cybertruck, is bringing flexibility and newfound luxury to those seeking a digital nomad lifestyle. CyberLandr transforms Cybertruck into the ultimate lifestyle vehicle, creating a remote base station that allows digital nomads to remain connected to their work from nearly anywhere and use their cell phones even where there isn't cellular service.
A PwC survey of 1,007 employees found that 41% of workers said they never want to return to the office. With StarLink Internet connectivity from anywhere on Earth, solar panels, and a structure that disappears into Cybertruck's bed, CyberLandr allows you to take your office (and home) everywhere you go. Its aerodynamic design prioritizes energy efficiency, helping nomads to go farther and stay off the grid longer, allowing them to travel wherever their adventures take them.
"Work as we knew it was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic," said Lance King, CEO and Founder of Stream It, Inc. "One of the biggest changes has been the shift out of the office, as more people enjoy a healthier work-life balance. CyberLandr allows those who want to enjoy the nomadic lifestyle to stay productive, without sacrificing the comforts and luxuries we expect at home."
Workers are showing that a flexible lifestyle is critical to their well-being. The Great Resignation demonstrated that employees want a more fulfilling, purpose-driven lifestyle, with a record 4.5 million people resigning in March 2022. Unemployment also hit 3.6% in May 2022 for the third month in a row despite the high demand for employees, illustrating a job seeker's job market.
Employees are also reevaluating how detrimental commuting is to their lives, with 60% of workers preferring a hybrid model. Many employers have responded in kind, allowing employees to work from home for two to three days a week, according to WFH Research.
Remote workers are seizing this new age of work flexibility and ditching the normal 9-to-5 desk jobs that restrict them to a single city or location. Also known as "boondocking" or "driveway surfing," the trending #vanlife movement has sparked interest among Millennial and Gen Z workers — roughly 42% of the workforce — who are sick of skyrocketing rents and a lack of freedom. Instead, many are purchasing used passenger vans, box trucks, and even school buses, and renovating them into miniature homes. Unlike these traditional RVs that aren't fun to drive and are more limited in where they can go, CyberLandr converts the fun-to-drive Cybertruck into an RV.
Companies are embracing this new phenomenon, and CyberLandr is setting a new standard with its fully equipped turnkey solution.

AdventHealth Training Center, Home to the Orlando Magic, to Feature Violet Defense’s UV Disinfection...
ORLANDO, Fla. - September 6, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
The Orlando Magic's new training home, the AdventHealth Training Center, will have UV disinfection technology from Violet Defense installed throughout the facility to help keep players and other visitors safe from illnesses.
The AdventHealth Training Center will be the practice and training home for the Magic and a sports medicine hub for all of Central Florida, the Magic and AdventHealth announced. On August 31, the ribbon was cut on the $70 million, 130,000-square-foot facility in the heart of Orlando.
Violet Defense is the developer of patented Pulsed Xenon UV disinfection technology, proven in independent lab testing to kill pathogens including E. coli, Salmonella, S. aureus, C. diff, MRSA, norovirus, coronavirus and SARS-CoV-2.
The Magic's facility will be the first in the country to fully integrate Violet Defense's UV technology with a building automation system via the international BACnet standard. This will provide the team with enhanced control over their system, including scheduling functionality and reporting and metrics on system usage.
"We're extremely proud to partner with the Orlando Magic and protect the health of the athletes at all levels - from the NBA to youth sports - who use this facility," said Bruce Mosley, President of Violet Defense. "With the advanced control features of this deployment, we are making it incredibly easy to disinfect spaces throughout their facility automatically."
Violet Defense's UV technology utilizes powerful, broad-spectrum light, including germicidal UV-C, UV-B, UV-A, and violet-blue that enhances their germ-killing efficiency. By combining those wavelengths, Violet Defense's UV advantage optimizes the efficacy of the UV light it delivers. The company strives to provide products that will lead to a brighter, healthier, more sustainable future for everyone.
The AdventHealth Training Center will provide the Magic with two state-of-the-art basketball courts for practice; expanded strength and conditioning, training and recovery facilities; aquatic spaces, including for physical therapy and hydrotherapy; sports science and nutrition facilities; and cutting-edge audio-video and imaging technology, the team said.
"Through our collaboration with Violet Defense over the last several of years, we have been able to easily incorporate their technology throughout all of our spaces as part of our ongoing efforts to keep our facilities safe and healthy for our team," said Magic President of Basketball Operations Jeff Weltman. "When we started planning the state-of-the-art AdventHealth Training Center, we knew right away that Violet Defense needed to be an integral part of our plans. We are thrilled to have them join us in our continuing commitment to health and wellness."
AdventHealth is a multi-state health care system, and the Magic's partner for three decades, and brings to the facility a 33,300-square-foot medical hub designed for elite athletes, youth athletes and recreational athletes with a focus on whole-person health and sports science.
Violet Defense's industrial UV sanitizer system will be installed throughout the facility, covering areas including:
- Weight and cardio room
- Hydrotherapy
- Recovery
- Player locker rooms and showers
- Dining and kitchen area
- Staff locker rooms and showers
- Restrooms

Onepak Signs Digitunity’s Corporate Pledge to End Digital Divide
Digitunity, a national nonprofit organization that connects low-income people with the computer donations they need, today announced that Onepak has signed The Corporate Pledge to End the Digital Divide as a Cornerstone Partner in the quest to improve digital equity throughout the country.
Since the mid-1980s, Digitunity, its predecessor organization, and community partners have placed hundreds of thousands of computers with people in need. Providing that technology is essential for helping people to succeed in school, participate in the economy, and improve their communities.
"We're thrilled to have an organization like Onepak, with its foresight, social consciousness, and reach, join us in our mission to close the digital divide," said Scot Henley, Executive Director of Digitunity. "With Onepak as a partner, we'll be able to elevate the issue, accelerate our efforts, and help more community-based organizations obtain the technology they need for their constituents."
Onepak is a logistics technology company whose software platform and services facilitate the return, reuse, and recycling of IT and other hardware assets. As organizations of all sizes focus increasingly on sustainability, Onepak can track and report the impact of ESG efforts and help facilitate Digitunity's mission at the same time. Onepak is uniquely positioned to redirect the flow of used IT assets toward organizations that address digital equity in the U.S.
"As a company committed to bending the supply chain into a circle with sustainability at the core of our mission, partnering with Digitunity not only makes sense as a business but aligns with our values entirely," said Steve Andon, CEO and Co-founder of Onepak. "We're eager to turn this pledge into genuine action to close the digital divide in our society to the betterment of everyone involved."
An estimated 36 million people in the U.S. don't have a computer at home, and tens of millions of households lack access to basic technology most people take for granted, including reliable internet access, a computer, and the skills to use digitally-connected devices. The problem disproportionately affects communities of color, but persists across all boundaries.
This disparity between resourced and under-resourced communities is known as the "digital divide." It permeates into every aspect of life, creating educational, economic, and career disenfranchisement. Children are unable to complete homework. Parents cannot search for and apply for jobs. Families are cut off from access to community services.
Through the Corporate Pledge to End the Digital Divide, Digitunity hopes to align the support and collective voice of influential, resourceful organizations in business, government, education, philanthropy, and community organizations with the passion and dedication of their Digital Opportunity Network, which includes nearly 1,500 frontline, community-level groups.
"The solution to expanding device ownership cannot be to simply buy new devices. Instead, a sustainable, long-term solution is to shift the way corporate IT assets are handled at end of life," according to Susan Krautbauer, Senior Director of Strategy and Development at Digitunity. "This decommissioned technology, repurposed for community support, can make owning a computer more attainable for more people. Technology reuse is a practical, environmentally friendly solution for expanding device ownership."
This national-scale gap in opportunity is multi-faceted and pervasive. It results from a number of interwoven, systemic issues. Solving it will require building and expanding collaborations on a similar scale. It is the reason Digitunity launched the Corporate Pledge to End the Digital Divide.
"Because of the nature of this issue, we believe fostering collaboration and relationships between entities throughout the community, businesses, service providers, community leaders, volunteers, government representatives, academics, and the media is critical for creating an inclusive future," said Krautbauer. "No one organization can do this alone. But together, we can ensure underrepresented, marginalized people have access to the technology they need to thrive in the modern economy."
The four pillars of Digitunity's pledge are:
- Access to Technology - People must have access to secure, reliable, and connected large-screen devices to work, learn, and develop the skills they need.
- Digital Skills & Education - Digital literacy is fundamental to education, finance, employment, telehealth, communication, security, community, and efficiency.
- Community Engagement & Impact - Those in need benefit most from engaged people and organizations in their communities. Those systems need to enable and sustain impact.
- Achieving Change - There is a direct line from racial inequity to poverty, and poverty to the digital divide. The corporate sector is a critical partner in developing innovative solutions that can benefit marginalized communities while having broad societal benefits.
Each organization that commits to the Corporate Pledge to End the Digital Divide is:
- Provided ongoing opportunities for active participation and engagement to bolster desired outcomes.
- Receiving access to a variety of tools, resources, research, and thought-leadership opportunities.
- Recognized by name and organization on the Corporate Pledge webpage on the Digitunity website.
- Included in a quarterly press release announcing new organizations that join.
- Featured in promotional and media campaigns to promote overall participation and adoption.
"We're thrilled with the commitments we've received so far. We welcome everyone who wants to join in the coming months," adds Krautbauer. "Together, we can move beyond incremental change to create a future where everyone can thrive in education, employment, and connectedness."
Digitunity is in discussion with a number of leading businesses and other organizations and will be announcing new partners in the weeks to come. Please visit Digitunity.org to learn more about Digitunity and the Corporate Pledge to End the Digital Divide. Sign the pledge today at Digitunity.org/sign-the-pledge.

The Harris Poll Discusses ‘Quiet Quitting’ Becoming Businesses’ Greatest Fear and Management Challenge in...
The Quiet Quitting movement is both "business leaders' biggest fear" and a challenge that they alone can solve, according to Libby Rodney, chief strategy officer at The Harris Poll Thought Leadership Practice. Rodney shared her thoughts on the trend in an August episode of the new podcast "America This Week," co-hosted by Rodney and John Gerzema, CEO of The Harris Poll.
During their conversation, Rodney and Gerzema explore the origins of the Quiet Quitting movement, which leaped from TikTok to international headlines in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Guardian. They explore who's disengaging, and why, and delve into the rise of free agent employees who want more money from corporations at a time when those corporations are more likely to instigate hiring freezes and layoffs.
Despite its name, Quiet Quitting doesn't actually involve quitting, per se. "You're not outright quitting your job, but you're quitting the idea of going above and beyond," said TikTok user Zaiad Khan. As described by BBC News, Quiet Quitting means "doing only what your job demands and nothing more. Quitting doing anything extra. You still show up for work, but stay strictly within the boundaries of your job requirements. So no more helping out with additional tasks or checking emails outside work hours."
A new survey that Harris Poll conducted for Bloomberg News examines the factors that contribute to Quiet Quitting. The poll revealed that in general, the younger the worker, the more disillusioned they are with their jobs and the more likely they are to quit if employers implement return-to-office (RTO) policies and reduce hybrid or work-from-home (WFH) environments.
Among the findings:
Employers Hold the Reins: More than three-quarters (76%) of Gen Z employees believe employers have more leverage in the job market than employees, compared to 56% of all employees.
Young People Are Free Agents: Among working adults, 42% of Gen Z and 37% of Millennials have recently quit or switched jobs in the past two years; 48% of Gen Z and 49% of Millennials say they are likely to quit their job in the next year.
Fearing the Worst: Among working adults, 57% of Gen Z and 42% of Millennials are worried that they are going to lose their job soon.
Fight vs. Flight: Almost two-thirds (66%) of Millennials say they have stayed in their jobs because of economic fluctuations (e.g., rising inflation, decreasing stock market) compared to barely half (51%) of Gen Z.
Bracing for RTO: Among remote/hybrid working adults, 57% of Millennials say they would quit if they were forced to work five days a week in the office.
Ready to Jump: Seven in 10 (71%) of Gen Z and more than two-thirds (68%) of Millennials say they are likely to try securing other job offers in order to get raises at their current jobs.
Those signs of career unhappiness are behind the Quiet Quitting movement and are why employers are concerned about productivity.
"One thing to recognize is that this is most business leaders' biggest fear," Rodney said during the podcast. "This is exactly what they're worried about and why they're telling people to return to the office.
"The second [thing], and the most important one, is the context of this. Before the pandemic, the employee engagement rates were really low. There was a massive burnout in workplace culture, and even the World Health Organization deemed it a critical thing that corporate workplaces had to solve. The pandemic just put fuel on that, and we all had to run and sprint through this time, and maybe now we're in more of a marathon. It's up to companies to get people excited to be working."
Rodney and Gerzema dig much deeper into the topic, offering more insight as well as statistics during their discussion of Quiet Quitting, which can be heard at

TES Expands US Operations by Adding a Fourth Facility
LAS VEGAS - September 6, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
Continuing with the growth already seen in the Asia-Pacific and Europe, the Las Vegas facility will expand TES's overall processing capacity and deliver a full suite of IT Asset Disposition services to support the technology giants on the West Coast.
The 40,000-square foot facility is anticipated to open in January 2023. It will offer onsite data destruction, data center decommissioning, and the redeployment or resale of parts and assets, including testing, grading, repairing refurbishment, and recycling.
This latest facility complements an existing infrastructure already recognised as the largest globally, bringing TES's investment to almost $10 million in ITAD infrastructure across its North American facilities over the previous five years.
TES's infrastructure is unique. Comprising over 40 facilities located across more than 20 countries, the ownership of these facilities offers clients unique sustainability and consistency through centralized functions, including security, work processes, reporting, value recovery, and compliance.
This latest facility is strategically located close to Las Vegas's major logistics arteries, offering clients lower logistics costs and reduced carbon emissions resulting from excess transportation.
Eric Ingebretsen, TES's Chief Commercial Officer, commented: "As we grow, we must ensure that we continue to closely meet the needs of our customers, not just by offering superior IT lifecycle solutions but also by ensuring that these solutions are combined with the best sustainability-based outcomes for those assets."
Gary Steele, TES's Chief Executive Officer, commented: "This investment backs that commitment by providing best-in-class full lifecycle solutions where our clients are located, backed by a global support network."
According to a new study by Future Market Insights on the IT Asset Disposition market, the ITAD market is anticipated to document a compound annual growth rate of 7.42% during 2022-2032. Fueling this growth is an increased need for data and information security, as well as environmental factors.
TES's services and infrastructure growth align with the data and information security needs of businesses by meeting complex compliance needs while removing the associated barriers to organizations leveraging a strategic ITAD program, such as concerns over data security.
