It may still be just July, but it’s already almost time for college kids and grad students to start preparing to go back to school for the semester. There’s a good chance you scored some sweet swag during massive midsummer savings events like Amazon Prime Day and Walmart’s Big Save event, but there’s still plenty of time to nab new electronics like laptops, tablets, printers, and more before school starts up again. 

Gaming laptops are an especially popular option for students who like to mix work with play, and the HP Omen series offers some of the hottest gamer-friendly products out there these days. Now ahead of back to school season, HP is offering deep discounts on its Omen, Omen 15T, and Omen 17T gaming laptops, with up to $350 in savings available. Read on below to see which of these HP Omen gaming laptop deals is your best bet for this upcoming semester.

The HP Omen 15T features much of the same aforementioned features as its lower-cost counterpart, but it does include a few upgrades as well.

A battery life of over 10 hours with Full HD means you can game all day, and an enhanced thermal solution means your Omen will always keep its cool.

Dragon Red backlighting with highlighted WASD enables easy access across the keyboard, while 26-key rollover anti-ghosting ensures no keystroke goes undetected, keeping you in the game at all times.

Pope says AI must be disarmed and shouldn’t dominate humanity. We’re going the opposite way.
The Pope just dropped his first encyclical, and AI companies should probably read it.
Pope Leo XIV signing his first encyclical

Pope Leo XIV signed his first encyclical on May 15, the 135th anniversary of Pope Leo XIII's Rerum novarum. The document, Magnifica humanitas, was published on May 25 and addresses one of the defining challenges of our time: artificial intelligence and its impact on humanity.

The core message isn't anti-technology. The Pope is clear that technology is neither a threat nor inherently evil. However, he does say that technology is never neutral, because it takes on the values of those who build, fund, and control it. That's where things get interesting.

I built an offline Grammarly alternative and turned it into a Mac app without any coding
It lives in a browser tab. It's a Chrome extension. It's also a Mac app. Claude built it for me in all three flavors.
Grammarly alternative built using Claude.

I wrote this entire article while seated on an airplane experiencing unusually high turbulence. The software I used to spell-check and grammatically sanitize the draft was built at an airport. The language engine is running entirely on my Mac, fully offline, fixing all my typos and removing the double spaces while I mash the keyboard and sip a sugar-bomb coffee. 

Also, I don't know how to code. I didn't write a single line of code, and yet, the Mac software I am using right now looks classier and feels snappier than Grammarly ever did. Grammarly, if you don't know, is one of the most popular apps for spelling and grammar checking on the planet. So, how did I do it? I asked Claude. I narrated my wish, it asked my preferences, and in less than 30 minutes, I built myself a no-internet Grammarly replacement while also avoiding the "yet-another-subscription" curse.
