Best Laptop Deal of the Day: $450 Off a Powerful HP Omen Gaming Laptop
Today, we've got another deal on a big-screen : The HP Omen 17.

Check out the specs and decide if this is the right fit for you.
The HP Omen 17's price is situated a bit north of the tier, but it's worth the extra cash if you can spare it.

Maingear's Retro95 combines '90s-era PC design with modern specs
Maingear is launching a '90s-era horizontal desktop with modern components inside. The Retro95 is a beige sleeper build and is for anyone who is nostalgic for the days of Windows 95, floppy discs, dial-up internet, and LAN parties. The Retro95 is a prebuilt, customized iteration of the SilverStone FLP01, a case that originated as an April Fools' joke before becoming a reality last year. Maingear is using the latest components inside, including options to kit this out with AMD's Ryzen 7 9800X3D, an RTX 5080, 96GB of RAM, and 8TB of NVMe storage. While it looks like there are two floppy drives at the front, one is just for show or hides an optional 24x DVD-R drive. The other floppy drive conceals a hidden front-panel I/O, complete with a headphone jack, USB-C port, and two USB-A ports. Maingear is also using Noctua fans for great cooling performance and low amounts of noise, with plenty of ventilation at the sides of this vertical case to keep modern components running without thermal throttling. There's even the usual power and disk activity LEDs at the front, alongside power and reset buttons. The only thing missing at the front is a turbo button, which could have been a fun way to overclock a modern CPU like the 9800X3D. Maingear's Retro95 is available today starting at $1,599. It's part of a limited drop, with the PC builder warning: 'Once they're gone, it's game over.' Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.

Microsoft Authenticator Removes Password Manager, Moves Passwords to Edge
If you're a Microsoft Authenticator user, you may notice that the Passwords section is missing one of its core functions. True to its word from earlier this month, Microsoft has removed the password management portion of the app as it moves toward a password-free future. Passwords and saved addresses that were in the Authenticator app have not been deleted; rather, they've been moved to Microsoft Edge and the Microsoft account page. Microsoft says users can access their passwords and addresses directly through Microsoft Edge, which will now be the primary platform for password storage and management. To use Edge for storing and autofilling passwords, as reported by our colleagues at PCMag: On an iOS device, users can visit Settings, General, Autofill & Passwords, and finally Edge. On Android devices, the path is through Settings, General Management, Passwords & Autofill, Autofill Service, and then Edge. Microsoft has also informed users that payment data within Authenticator will be deleted starting August 1. Users can still add and save passkeys in the Authenticator app. For those who'd prefer to use a different app, exporting passwords is easy: Just open Authenticator, go to Settings, select Export Passwords, and save the file. Most other password managers let users import this file.

Get Ready: WhatsApp Is Getting Ads, Paid Channel Subscriptions
PCMag editors select and review products independently. If you buy through affiliate links, we may earn commissions, which help support our testing. Unlike other Meta apps, the company has traditionally kept WhatsApp ad-free. That's set to change, though ads will be limited to specific areas of the app, away from your messages. Meta will soon include ads within the Status feature. This section is similar to Instagram Stories, where you can share clips or photos from your day-to-day life with your contacts. In the coming months, ads will appear between people you follow. Meta hasn't shared how often ads will appear, but if it's anything like Instagram, it'll likely be after every fourth or fifth story you view. Meta won't use your personal data to target these ads. That means it can't use the topics in your messages, or the people you message, to figure out what ads to show you. Instead, Meta will use data such as your location, language, your interactions with Channels, or the ads you've been interested in before. The company is also introducing a new way for businesses, celebrities, and influencers to monetize their own WhatsApp Channels. A Channel on WhatsApp acts like a big group chat, where you can update everyone following you at the same time. Many businesses use them to update users on specific changes or promotions. Soon, owners of these channels will be able to charge for exclusive access to certain content. It sounds like this will work similarly to a Patreon subscription, where businesses can have a free tier for most users, and those who want exclusive access to additional services can pay for a subscription on top. Around 1.5 billion people visit Channels and Status each day. There's currently no sign of WhatsApp bringing ads to other parts of its app, but that may eventually happen if the company continues to see success in its ad expansion.
