"I cover a little bit of just about everything, from the FCC to AI shopping tools to Linux." Before joining our news team, they wrote weekend news for PC Gamer and did reviews, news, features, and guides for Laptop Mag, along with some stories for Tom's Guide, IGN, TechRadar, and XDA. "I've been reading (and watching) The Verge since I was in high school," they add, "so it's pretty exciting to be part of the team now."

I've been working from home full time for the last five years, and there are some things I'd like to say I've "perfected" in creating the perfect setup. Each season's setup is a little different, and as we've finally made it to my favorite, winter (January baby here!), I swapped out some things in my office to keep me warm and toasty as I work.

With this compact walking pad, you can walk or run up to 3.8 miles per hour in the comfort of your own home (or home office). You can easily adjust your speed with its remote control or companion app.. At the end of your workout, switch to its vibration setting to cool down with a massage. You can use it three ways: standing, sitting in a chair with your feet resting on it, or sitting directly on the pad. Choose from four intensity levels, ranging from light mode for stretching and meditation to strong mode for muscle activation.

The ball slips out of Simba's mouth and drops on the floor. He looks down for a moment, then seeks his owner's attention using his paw. He tries harder with some whining, which increases when his human doesn't pay attention. It seems the requesting tone soon turns into a demanding one as an onscreen line expresses the dog's thoughts: "Hey! Pick my ball!"

In this difficult time that is the quarantine, most of us have to work from home, which means we don't get to see our colleagues. However, there's the next best thing: our pets!

This decision cements a worrying trend for employers who try to do the right thing in offering periods of flexibility for staff. It's common for employers to offer work from home arrangements on an interim basis, including on a trial basis or to support staff on parental leave in returning to the office full-time. These interim WFH periods are increasingly becoming a trap for employers.

Karlene Chandler won the right to work from her Wilton residence after fighting the bank at the Fair Work Commission, saying it would take her more than two hours to get to her two closest offices. She had proved over several years she could WFH effectively and hit all her targets in the mortgage team after being granted remote work entitlements for an extended period.

Many of us are seeking ways to work from home these days. But if you're not that computer savvy, the typical work-from-home jobs, like customer support or virtual assisting, don't appeal much. The great news is that working from home doesn't necessarily have to be in front of a screen. If you're looking to tap into a new source of income that doesn't involve the stress of navigating new computer programs, here are a few ideas to consider.

The number of job ads offering work-from-home perks is on the decline, but there are some industries still holding onto the pandemic-era arrangement. The labour market is tough for job seekers across much of the country and employers in some sectors have realised they don't have to offer the same level of flexibility to attract the best talent. New SEEK data has revealed only 9 per cent of ads now mention WFH, which is down slightly from a 2023 peak of 10 per cent per cent.

"Legislating work from home is a waste," "And worse, it will harm young people, deplete Victoria's competitiveness, and unnecessarily add cost and red tape."

Indoor air quality (IAQ) is the unsung hero (or villain) of your work-from-home experience. While I obsess over internet speeds and ergonomic chairs, I often forget that the air in our home offices can be more polluted than a city street. And that stale, polluted air doesn't just make your space smell funky-it can actually sabotage your productivity, energy levels, and even your long-term health.

September is here, and after all these years, we still find ourselves reverting to that back-to-school mindset. Something in the air tells us that it's time to focus and get started on the projects that have long been on our minds. For us, this means re-evaluating our work-from-home setups, and considering how, through decorating, we might be able to bump them up a grade or two.

Today only, you can get the HP Series 7 Pro 34-inch curved conferencing monitor for $650, which is a massive $450 off.

If you often find yourself fidgeting in your seat while working from home, then you might be a good candidate for a crossed-legged office chair. These ergonomic alternatives to standard office chairs feature an ottoman-style tier that allows you to put your legs up, sit crossed-legged, or kneel to achieve maximum comfort while you work at your desk. And there's one on Amazon right now that people are raving about - one person even said that it's better than chairs from a designer brand.

When state legislation starts dictating to a business - and I know that this government has been referred to as a dictatorship in recent years - as to how they should run their business, then it's going to make me question whether or not where you're based is where you should be based,

"For many people, particularly women, working from home is deeply integrated into how they manage their family and caring responsibilities," said ASU Assistant National Secretary Emeline Gaske. "Suddenly removing that arrangement isn't a simple change - it pulls a thread that can unravel a family's entire routine. It means finding new after-school care where there are often long waiting lists, rearranging transport, or finding alternative support for an elderly parent."
