The Apple Mac Studio rarely appears with a discount at any retailer, so if you’ve been planning to purchase this powerful desktop computer, don’t miss this chance at a $200 discount on the M2 Max model from B&H Photo Video’s Apple deals. From its original price of $1,999, it’s down to $1,799. It’s still not cheap, but you may as well enjoy the savings because you may not be able to get them anywhere else. Proceed with your purchase immediately, as discounts on Apple devices usually don’t last long.

Why you should buy the Apple Mac Studio M2 Max

The Apple Mac Studio, which comes with either of two processors — the M2 Max or the M2 Ultra — fills the gap between the more affordable Apple Mac Mini and the Apple Mac Pro. The Apple Mac Studio M2 Max with a 12-core CPU, a 30-core GPU, and 32GB of RAM will be more than enough to complete the projects of most creative professionals, and with a 512GB SSD, you’ll have sufficient storage space for all of your files. The desktop computer is relatively small and looks like a block of aluminum, so while it will provide you with all of the power that you need, it won’t take up a lot of space on your desk.

If you’re having trouble deciding between the Apple Mac Studio and Apple Mac Mini, we highly recommend the Apple Mac Studio because it’s much more cost-effective for its performance, and it offers more connectivity options with four USB-C with Thunderbolt 4 ports, two USB-A ports, an HDMI connection, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and 10GB Ethernet at the back, and two more USB-C ports and an SD card reader at the front.

The Apple Mac Studio with the M2 Max processor packs a lot of punch in its small body, making it an excellent choice for graphic artists and design professionals. It’s rarely on sale, so you don’t want to let this opportunity of a $200 discount from B&H Photo Video to slip through your fingers. It’s down to $1,799 from $1,999, but probably for a very limited time because that’s the standard for Apple devices. If you want to buy the Apple Mac Studio M2 Max for cheaper than usual, you need to proceed with your purchase immediately.

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.
