The prevalence of office mandates among knowledge workers is striking, with a recent study from Atlassian showing that a staggering 82% are currently subject to some form of requirement to work in person. Intriguingly, nearly half of those who venture into the office do so purely due to these company directives, rather than a genuine desire to be present.

Nominating the Samsung S95D as our TV of the Year for 2024 shouldn't deliver the same shock factor as when the Samsung S90C OLED TV ended LG's TV of the year reign in 2023, but the reason it earned this title at the TechRadar Choice Awards 2024 is an interesting mix. What it came down to was a combination of sensational AI-powered processing and a matte screen.

Teleworking (i.working from home by using information technology) is a mode of organisation in which the employee carries out his usual working hours away from his employer's office on a regular and voluntary basis, for functions that could have been carried out in the employer's office. Teleworking may be seen as a tool to regulate mobility reducing commuter travel and the associated congestion, air pollution, energy use and carbon emissions.

The B.government is putting all mining and mineral exploration and permitting activity on hold in two regions of B.C., pending an overhaul of the Mineral Tenure Act. It's the kind of move that has the potential to put a chill on mineral exploration in B.C., due to the uncertainty it may create, although the two areas of B.where activity and permitting is being temporarily "paused" are not exactly hotbeds for mining or mineral exploration.

Pakistan's population crisis has reached an alarming stage, yet the issue remains neglected by successive governments. With over 240 million people and an annual growth rate of around 2%, the country is struggling to provide even the most basic services to its citizens. The uncontrolled population explosion has exacerbated poverty, unemployment and resource depletion, turning what could have been an asset into an economic liability.

Data scraping involves the collection of large amounts of publicly available information, which may trigger obligations under privacy laws. While data scraping for AI training has only recently emerged on privacy regulators' radars, action by the EU DPAs has been robust.
