Apple fans know that you should be quick to snap up MacBook deals because they sell out quickly, and we expect that to be the case for B&H Photo Video’s offer for the Apple MacBook Air M3. The 15-inch model of the laptop with 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD is on sale for only $999, for savings of $300 on its original price of $1,299. Tomorrow may already be too late to shop this bargain, so we highly recommend pushing forward with your transaction for this MacBook right now.

Why you should buy the Apple MacBook Air M3

The Apple MacBook Air M3 isn’t the latest model in the massively popular line of laptops as the Apple MacBook Air M4 is already out, but it’s still a worthwhile purchase these days as its capabilities are going to be enough to meet the needs of most people. Apple’s M3 chip is simply powerful, to the point that gaming on the MacBook Air M3 is pretty impressive. With an eight-core CPU, a 10-core GPU, a 16-core Neural Engine, and 16GB of RAM, the MacBook will deliver performance that will help you get through your daily workload without any issues.

The 15.3-inch Liquid Retina display of the Apple MacBook Air M3 supports one billion colors with 2880 x 1864 resolution, for lifelike images while you’re working on your projects or watching streaming shows. You’ll be able to bring all your files with you on its 256GB SSD, and the Apple MacBook Air M3 lives up to its name as it weighs just 3.3 pounds with thickness of less than half an inch.

Apple’s MacBooks aren’t always available from the laptop deals of retailers, so when an offer like B&H Photo Video’s discount for the Apple MacBook Air M3 comes along, you can be sure it will attract a lot of attention. The 15-inch model of the device with 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD is currently $300 off, bringing its price down to $999 from $1,299. We’re not sure how much time is remaining before you miss out on the savings, so you should complete your purchase for the Apple MacBook Air M3 as soon as possible.

MIT researchers found a new Spectre attack that can slip past Intel and AMD defenses

Spectre has been haunting CPU security since 2018, and MIT researchers have now found another way to make it misbehave. The new TONTOU attack can bypass some of the defenses Intel and AMD have added over the years by exploiting a tiny gap in how those protections work. The research comes from Daniël Trujillo and Mengjia Yan at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). Their findings show that even after a processor wipes or isolates information used by its branch predictor, there can be a brief window before that information is actually used. TONTOU, short for Time-of-Neutralization to Time-of-Use, attacks precisely that gap.

Microsoft accidentally gave Windows 11 users another OneDrive app, and you can’t easily remove it

Microsoft says the wider-than-intended rollout was an accident, but removing the app currently means removing OneDrive too.

Windows 11 users have been getting a new OneDrive app whether they asked for it or not. The problem? Microsoft says it wasn't supposed to happen. Microsoft has confirmed that its OneDrive Photos app was rolled out to Windows 11 PCs more broadly than intended, including enterprise machines where the app isn't even designed to work. The company says it is now working on a fix, but there's an awkward catch: users currently can't uninstall OneDrive Photos without removing the main OneDrive app too.

So, what exactly got installed?

Apple Reminders sucked for project management until I learned this feature

Your checklist deserves better. Here's how to turn Reminders into a proper Kanban board.

Apple reminders on Mac

For the longest time, I used Apple Reminders only for capturing quick tasks. Thanks to its Siri integration, Reminders let me add tasks quickly so nothing would fall through the cracks. However, when it came to managing big projects, I always moved to a more powerful task manager like OmniFocus or Things 3.

That changed the day I stumbled onto the Column view. Apple added this feature with the iOS 17 and macOS Sonoma updates, and somehow I completely missed it. But once I discovered and got the hang of it, Reminders finally started to feel like a real project management tool instead of a glorified sticky note.
