Why you should buy the MacBook Air bundle

The MacBook Air featured in this Walmart offer is an MJVM2LL model, which was released back in 2015. While such a long-ago date may not sound appealing on paper, this is actually restored Apple product. That means the computer was put through a multi-point inspection by Walmart, with repairs and restorations provided on an as-needed basis. In a way, it’s almost like owning a brand-new MacBook Air, as long as you don’t mind an older OS (macOS Yosemite in this case) and CPU. 

Of course, a dual-core Intel i5 is nothing to shake a stick at, and before Apple decided to make their own processors, Intel was the Apple CPU of choice. Delivering max clock speeds of 1.6GHz and supported by 4GB of RAM, you’ll have plenty of power for things like everyday web browsing, word processing, and watching HD videos. This Air model is equipped with a 11.6-inch Retina display that delivers a 2,560 x 1,600 pixel spread. Expect great colors and contrast, as well as impressive brightness levels.

And as mentioned this bundle also comes with a pair of wireless earbuds and a wireless mouse. Ports include two USB-A, two Thunderbolt 2 connections, plus an SDXC card reader. 

We’re going to see a lot of MacBook deals and plenty other Apple deals in the lead-up to back-to-school shopping, so taking advantage of this bundle now could save you from facing the crowds.

This new Mac malware won’t let you use your computer until you surrender your password
This Mac malware turns your own computer against you
AI Generated Image

A newly discovered strain of macOS malware is taking social engineering to an unsettling new level. Instead of exploiting a software vulnerability or silently stealing information in the background, it simply refuses to let you use your Mac until you type in your login password.

Dubbed ClickLock, the malware repeatedly shuts down key macOS processes, disables notifications, displays convincing Apple password prompts, and effectively traps users in a loop that only ends when the correct password is entered. Once that happens, it doesn't just steal the password. It goes after browser data, cryptocurrency wallets, saved credentials, password managers, and much more.

1Password lets Claude inside your accounts without handing over the keys
Claude can now sign in on your behalf while your password stays hidden, though trusting it after login is a separate decision
1Password official

1Password is giving Claude a way into your online accounts without making your passwords part of the bargain. The new 1Password for Claude integration can fill login details while keeping the credentials hidden from Anthropic’s AI agent.

Available now on Mac, the feature kicks in when Claude reaches a sign-in page during a task. Claude requests a saved login, then you approve or deny it. If approved, 1Password submits the credentials through a separate encrypted channel. Passwords and one-time codes never enter Claude’s context or Anthropic’s systems.
