Today’s best HP Black Friday deals

Should you shop the HP Black Friday deals now?

These deals are available early, super early, so it seems strange to grab something now, especially when it could go on sale even cheaper later. But there’s a good reason why retailers have kicked things off earlier than ever. Above all, the supply shortages — like the microchip shortage — and other supply chain issues creating a lot of inventory problems. Not to mention, there’s no telling what kind of shipping delays we’ll see as we get closer to the holidays. There’s a good chance what you buy, if it’s in stock, won’t arrive on time.

Of course, there’s still a potential problem with buying too early. If you buy an item now, and it goes on sale even cheaper later, you’ve missed out on the best deal. For purchases made between November 1st and December 25th, HP has extended its return policy until January 15th, 2021. Normally, you only have 30 days to return an item, but in this case, you have longer. That means if something goes on sale cheaper later you should be able to return it to get the better deal. Just bear in mind, there is a 15% restocking fee applied to some items.

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.
