Hurry! The Cyber Monday deals are going to start expiring, and you won’t want to be the only one to miss out on saving big. And right now, you can even save on the one-time purchase of Microsoft Office Home and Student 2019. The software is currently just $100 on Newegg — a full $50 discount — but only for a limited time.

A wildly popular and fully modern software, Microsoft Office Home and Student 2019 is typically priced for a one-time purchase of $150. A basic, reliable, and affordable bundle, it’s worth every penny — and now, with a whole $50 off, it’s definitely a steal.

The Microsoft Office Home and Student 2019 software can be installed on both PC and Mac computers alike. It is, however, required that the intended installation devices run at or above a Windows 10 or MacOS. This one-time purchase comes with all three classic 2019 versions of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint for a single device, making it the perfect convenient buy for a student or basic Microsoft user. Additionally, the use of Microsoft support is included for 60 days with the purchase at no extra cost. However, if you want to buy the software for more than one device, and with the inclusion of Premium Office apps, email, calendar, storage, as well as enhanced communication and safety features, you’ll want to splurge for one of the Family, Business, or Personal options instead.

Luckily, a few of the other Microsoft Office options are also discounted for Cyber Monday on Newegg right now. The Professional 2019 option is $40 off at $400 and the Home and Business 2019 option is $30 off at $220. With that said, the Microsoft Office Home and Student 2019 is already one of the cheapest options and definitely the most heavily discounted, making it the best offer for single-device users. For those looking for multiple device usage or premium features, you’ll have to splurge for one of the alternatives to Office software.

The face on an AI interviewer may matter as much as the decision it makes
Researchers found that race and gender matching changed how fairly rejected applicants viewed an automated interview, even though everyone received the same outcome
File, Computer Hardware, Electronics

An AI hiring system can treat every applicant the same and still leave some people feeling targeted. Researchers found that rejected candidates judged an automated interview differently depending on the race and gender of the avatar delivering the result.

Around 220 participants completed a simulated interview for a fictional customer support role with one of four photorealistic AI avatars. Everyone was rejected, yet perceptions of fairness shifted with the interviewer’s appearance. An algorithm audit could miss that reaction because candidates don’t experience the system as raw code. They experience a face asking questions and judging their answers.

Instead of entering a few keywords and scrolling through a standard list of results, users can ask YouTube a complete question. The feature is designed for broader searches where the exact video, channel, or topic may not already be clear.

Meta’s detection tool fails to identify photos generated by its own Muse Image AI
Meta has created an invisible watermarking tool called Content Seal that is embedded in all images generated by the Muse Image AI.
Meta AI identification tool.

Earlier this week, Meta announced two new AI products, namely, Muse Image and Muse Video. As the name suggests, these are generative AI tools for making photos and video clips using natural language text prompts. Soon after their rollout commenced, these tools sparked controversy because Meta had automatically opted in Instagram users, allowing others to use their publicly posted media and convert them into remixed AI content. But it appears that Meta courted another loss on its side of the court.

What's the problem?
