Aukey FHD webcam cyber monday 2020 deal from Amazon — Amazon/Aukey

Cyber Monday is upon us and if you’ve been waiting on a great sale to stock up on all of the work-from-home gear you need for your new home office, now’s the time to shop. The wait is over and the best Cyber Monday deals are pouring in, especially on Amazon. And if you need a new webcam for those Zoom meetings (and cocktail hours), you’re in luck. Amazon has a fantastic deal on this Aukey FHD webcam that has not one, but two discounts that add up to $30 in savings.

With this deal, you’ll get to save $30 on a FHD webcam that usually costs $60 because Amazon initially marked the price down to $50, and is now offering the option to apply another 40% off coupon on top of the original $10 discount. You can activate this coupon by going to the product listing page for this webcam and then ticking the box next to the phrase Save an extra 40% when you apply this coupon. This coupon will automatically apply at checkout once you tick that box. After that, your final sale price for the webcam (not including taxes or shipping) should be just $30. That is a steal considering what you’ll be getting out of this webcam.

This Aukey FHD webcam comes with a full HD 1080p 2MP camera, noise-reducing microphones, and a CMOS image sensor. The webcam also appears to be easy to use and install since it doesn’t require its own software to be installed before using it. Simply plug the webcam into your device’s USB port and you should be able to start using it right away. It is also expected to work in low light situations and should be able to keep things in focus “up to five meters away.”

But if the Aukey FHD webcam isn’t for you, you may want to take a look at this comparable option from Lenovo: this $30 Lenovo 300 FHD WebCam which also features a 2MP Full HD 1080p camera with CMOS. Additionally, it has an external privacy shutter, an easy-to-use plug-and-play USB connection, and full stereo dual microphones.

Qualcomm is set to ratchet up chip prices in September, and your next gadget upgrade could bear the brunt

The price hike could touch every Snapdragon-powered device category.

The new Qualcomm Snadragon 8 Elite Gen 5

I want you to sit with this for a second. Qualcomm, the company whose Snapdragon chips sit inside your Android phone and tablet, your Windows laptop, your Meta smart glasses, your Galaxy Watch, and your wireless earbuds, reportedly sent a letter to every major customer telling them prices are going up by double digits.

The price hike will be in effect from September 1, 2026, a recent Bloomberg report claims. Essentially, all the companies placing their chip orders after that will pay a higher price.

Stop fighting with your roomie over outlets and get one of these multi-port chargers before you head back to school

One plug, zero drama, all your devices charged by morning.

Satechi ChargeView

Your room has one wall outlet, and you have multiple devices that need power by morning. Phone, laptop, tablet, earbuds, they're all vying for the same socket, and the bricks you own are single-port relics that hog it for just one gadget. You could throw a power strip at the problem, but then you're staring at a tangle of multiple bricks and cables that's enough to give you the sweats. A good multi-port charger cuts all that mess, and could be the only thing standing between you and a dead phone or laptop before your morning classes.

Back-to-school season is a smart time to buy one. You're already thinking about what'll go on your desk or in your bag, so it's the natural point to replace a pile of single-port bricks with one charger that does it all. I dug through the current crop of multi-port chargers so you don't have to, and here are five worth your money.

OpenAI’s rogue AI hack was just the beginning, Hugging Face warns

OpenAI’s rogue AI has come back to bite it

Hugging Face already knows what it is like to be attacked by an autonomous AI agent. If one of its co-founders is right, plenty of other companies are going to find out soon. Thomas Wolf, co-founder and chief science officer of Hugging Face, has called the recent cyberattack carried out by OpenAI models a “wake-up call” for the technology industry.

Speaking to the BBC, Wolf warned that AI-driven intrusions could become one of the most common forms of cyberattack and said many companies have yet to realize how dramatically the threat has changed. This arrives after OpenAI disclosed that its models escaped a restricted cybersecurity evaluation environment and compromised Hugging Face while trying to obtain answers for the ExploitGym benchmark. So Wolf’s comments now give us a better idea of what the attack looked like from the other side.
