]]>The wearable purifier kills harmful germs with built-in UV-LED lights, and features high-performance replaceable filters. The purifier’s dual fans then provide the user with clean, filtered air.
It features LG’s patented Respiratory Sensor, which detects the cycle and volume of the wearer’s breath and adjusts the three-speed dual fans as needed, speeding up to assist air intake or slowing it down to reduce resistance when the wearer is exhaling.
Designed to be comfortable, the LG Puricare Wearable Air Purifier fits snugly on the user’s face to reduce air leakage and is lightweight.
The 820mAh battery can deliver up to 8 hours in low mode and two hours in high mode. It also comes with a case that can further charge your mask.

As it is compatible with the LG ThinQ mobile app, users can receive smartphone alerts when filters need to be replaced.
It is worth nothing that all components of the LG PuriCare Wearable Air Purifiers – such as the filters to the ear straps – are both replaceable and recyclable, making it a more environmentally friendly solution than many options out there.
“The PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier is an exciting addition to our growing lineup of products designed to deliver meaningful health and hygiene benefits,” said Dan Song, President of LG Electronics Home Appliance & Air Solution Company.
“At a time when consumers are seeking ways to make life safer and more convenient, it’s important that we’re able to offer solutions that add measurable value.”
Local pricing and availability have not yet been confirmed.

]]>Although Seek’s revenues fell by 12% in Australia and New Zealand, it remained the market leader with 33% of placements, highlighting how tough the job postings market is in the current climate.
In FY20 Seek maintained a lead of five times over their nearest competitor in the local market.
“Seek ANZ delivered a resilient result in challenging conditions. In a weak ad volume environment, we saw robust results from our depth products and SMEs,” said Seek CEO and Co-Founder Andrew Bassat.
“When labour markets return to more normal conditions, we expect to generate a high ROI given our market leadership and track record of generating strong returns from investing in product, technology and data. The near-term will continue to pose challenges, but we will remain agile to take advantage of new growth opportunities as they arise.”
Citing the difficult operating conditions, Seek is not paying a final FY20 dividend. “Once economic conditions improve, we intend to resume payment of dividends,” Seek stated.
Seek’s share price tanked when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, falling by 38% in March. It has since recovered, closing at $21.40 yesterday.

The NBN co warns scammers are trying to mislead people by informing them their service will be disconnected should they not provide a ‘technician’ online access to their computer.
Security concerns have become heightened as more Australians work-from-home amid the COVID19 pandemic, many on company laptops/PCs.
It joins a variety of other phishing emails and online attempts.
“With scammers increasing their efforts to use COVID-19 to steal people’s personal or financial details, we are starting to see the emergence [of] nbn related COVID-19 scams, so we are working with agencies like Scamwatch to continue to monitor the situation and alert the community,” states NBN Co Chief Security Officer, Darren Kane.
“We want to remind everyone to never give an unsolicited caller remote access to your computer or devices via the installation of programs such as Team Viewer or share any financial information or personal details with someone they don’t know.”
Mr Kane has urged Australian businesses and staff to not get complacence with the security of their work devices and documents despite the complacency which can emerge from working-from-home.

“It is important to not click on the links or attachments in suspicious emails and never respond to unsolicited messages.,” Kane adds.
“This is even more important for all of us that are working from home, as scammers are on the hunt for ways to get access and disrupt home and corporate networks.”
The NBN Co is advising Australians to not leave their work laptop or devices unattended or in ‘unsecured areas’, and prevent family members from using them for personal use. The agency warns it runs the risk of work devices being accidentally inflected.
Australians are also being advised to heighten their home network security, and change the default administrators password on their home router.
Further information on how Australians can protect against online scammers during coronavirus is available on the NBN Co’s website here.

Jamie Collier, cyber threat intelligence chief at Digital Shadows, told Computer Business Review: “Many organisations will now be discussing commercially sensitive and confidential issues on teleconferencing calls.
