We all need a steadfast and reliable computer to get us through work, school, and our creative pursuits. And when it comes to top-shelf laptops, it doesn’t get much better than Apple’s MacBook lineup. We’ve been writing about these portable powerhouses for years, but we still get super-excited whenever we come across any MacBook Air sale, including this one:

Today, when you purchase the 13-inch MacBook Air with Apple M3 (16GB of RAM, 256GB of storage), you’ll only pay $1,000. The full MSRP on this model is $1,100. We tested this model last December and reviewer Luke Larsen said, “The MacBook Air M3 remains an absolute go-to laptop, especially at its new starting configuration.

Why you should buy the MacBook Air with Apple M3

It’s hard to deny the rockstar performance and smooth-as-butter UI of an Apple machine, and the MacBook Air with Apple M3 continues the legacy. The Air M3 has a sleek and modern design, intuitive controls, and a decent selection of ports. Apple’s M3 processor is also an absolute beast when it comes to running multiple programs at the same time. You’ll be able to rely on your Air M3 for everything from demanding video editing software to buffer-free playback of HD content.

Speaking of HD content, you’re going to love the brightness, colors, and contrast the Air M3 is capable of. Thanks to 2560 x 1664 resolution, the M3 has plenty of pixels to work with, too.

Lightweight and portable, the Air M3 is easy to take just about anywhere and Apple claims you’ll get up to 18 hours of battery life on a full charge. Other noteworthy features include Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 support.

We’re not sure how long this sale is going to stick around, so if you’ve been in the market for a new Apple laptop, there’s no better time than now! Take $100 off the 13-inch MacBook Air with Apple M3 (16GB of RAM, 256GB of storage) when you order today.

Deepfake bosses are crashing video calls, and researchers are trying to expose them

Seeing your boss on video no longer proves they are real

Researchers at Fraunhofer SIT are fighting against deepfake meeting video calls

Entering into a meeting with your boss and several familiar coworkers inside a video conference is the next area vulnerable to cybercrimes, and it's all because of deepfake technology. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Secure Information Technology SIT are working on a real-time warning system designed to identify attempted fraud during corporate video conferences.

The report states that criminals are increasingly targeting video meetings for identity theft and financial scams, taking advantage of the trust people place in familiar faces and voices. The intention is to flag suspicious activity while the meeting is still taking place. This gives an employee a chance to stop before following an expensive instruction from an AI-generated executive.

Apple will finally stop making iPhone-to-Windows copy-paste such a chore

Your iPhone may finally copy and paste with a Windows PC like it should

Apple Universal Clipboard feature

Copying something on an iPhone and pasting it onto a Windows PC should be one of the least remarkable features imaginable. While this simple process seems effortless between an iPhone and Mac, Windows users are still left waiting.

Now, Microsoft is formally asking Apple to provide interoperable clipboard access through the company’s European Union interoperability process. The request, submitted on March 25, argues that iOS restrictions prevent third-party platforms from creating an experience comparable to Apple’s Universal Clipboard. Apple has now reached Phase III and committed to developing a solution.

Google is preparing to add extension review links directly inside Chrome, putting feedback closer to the menus people already use to manage their add-ons.

A Chromium change, first spotted by Windows Report, points to review options in the Extensions menu, the chrome://extensions management page, and extension context menus. Only eligible Chrome Web Store extensions in good standing would qualify, and the feature is still under development.
