My case in point. Instead of farming out translation jobs for 12 languages in WPML to people, we now auto translate all content via AI. That’s jobs lost. Complicated legal docs is an edge case in the content world.

I feel seen. My wife and I are like this. When we sit on the couch, she puts her arm around me. When I’m cooking she loves to bend me over and fake pump me from behind. She takes care of me. It’s wonderful.

How about it NZ?

Found in the wild: The world’s first unkillable UEFI bootkit for Linux

“Bootkitty” is likely a proof-of-concept, but may portend working UEFI malware for Linux.

“Whether a proof of concept or not, Bootkitty marks an interesting move forward in the UEFI threat landscape, breaking the belief about modern UEFI bootkits being Windows-exclusive threats,” ESET researchers wrote. “Even though the current version from VirusTotal does not, at the moment, represent a real threat to the majority of Linux systems, it emphasizes the necessity of being prepared for potential future threats.”

Some fear drivers will swap prescription drugs like medicinal cannabis for more dangerous substances that don't show up on saliva tests.

"These people are often very conscious of not driving when they feel impaired by their substance but the legislation as it stands, it doesn't matter if you are impaired or not, it's only if the substance is in your system.


There are now more individuals on the National Gang List, alongside a reduction in police officers on the streets.

- There are 190 more people on the National Gang List and 80 fewer police officers on the streets than in November 2023 when Labour was in government.

Sir John says Kamala Harris' economic views are radically to the left of Joe Biden - and for all his faults, Trump is the better choice.
Key: "Donald Trump is driving very much an America First and a more isolationist kind of view. Actually, it's quite different, it's a very different foreign policy than we've ever seen. So that probably doesn't help New Zealanders much. But on balance, I think he's probably better for the economy.“


The government could be set to spend 10 percent of its total budget for new infrastructure for the next 25 years on a highway between Auckland and Whangārei.

"Is this one motorway really worth one-tenth of our entire country's spending on schools, hospitals, houses and public transport infrastructure?"

Further regulation of the supermarket sector may hit a snag in the form of David Seymour, who is mounting strong opposition to any such move.

Labour says the focus on big new roads is hypocrisy for a government that came to power promising to cut costs.
"More people are going to have to rely on cars and trucks to get around because we don't have a pipeline of alternatives like rapid transit, inter-city passenger rail, public transport and safe walking and cycling in our communities”
