Back-to-school time always brings some of the best deals on laptops, and this year is no exception. Amazon is offering insane deals on both the entry-level M4 MacBook Air ($799) and the baseline M4 MacBook Pro ($1299). While my gut reaction is in awe at how much power and value you get from the M4 MacBook Air at $799, after I stopped to think about it, the M4 MacBook Pro at $1299 could actually be the best bang for buck computer out on the market, but is it worth the $500 price difference?

If you live in a rural or remote area, you likely already know how difficult it is to get a good internet connection. Most rural internet providers are devastatingly slow and typically expensive. Starlink's standard plan has become a lifesaver for those without decent rural internet options, but the hefty up-front cost of equipment, $349, and the monthly rate of $120 make Starlink an unaffordable option for many families in rural areas.

You open Steam to boot up a game and get stopped by a warning saying Steam is down for maintenance. Frustrated, you wonder -- how long will this gameless purgatory last?

As I listened to executives talk about how they aligned their technology with human values, I realized that the malleability of AI models was a double-edged sword. Models could be tweaked to, say, minimize biases, but also to enforce a specific point of view. Governments could demand manipulation to censor unwelcome facts and promote propaganda.
