If you have a solid gaming PC, then the next most important component is likely going to be a good gaming monitor, and while there are a huge amount of options, there are some standouts that are worth grabbing. For example, this Lenovo Legion R25f-30 is a pretty solid mid-range gaming monitor that’s worth grabbing if you need a high refresh rate. While it usually goes for $200, you can snag it now for just $162, which is a pretty good 19% off and worth grabbing if you want a smaller but high-end monitor.

Why you should buy the 24.5-inch Lenovo Legion R25f-30

One of the big selling points of the Lenovo Legion R25f-30 is that it has a blazingly fast 280Hz refresh rate, which is more than you might see with some other high-end gaming monitors. In fact, even though this runs an FHD resolution, you still might need something like the RTX 4080 or even the RTX 4090 to hit and maintain the highest refresh rates with high graphical settings. Realistically, this monitor is targeted towards folks who are playing games competitively at the high end where every frame truly counts, so if you’re the sort who is playing CS:GO or League of Legends, this monitor should be perfect for you.

Of course, on the downside, it is relatively small at just 24.5 inches, so you’ll have to have it close to your face, although the smaller size does mean that the price is generally kept pretty low. Luckily, it has a lot of other great features, such as support for AMD FreeSync Premium to stave off any ghosting or tearing, as well as a 0.5ms MPRT response time, which is pretty good overall. It also covers 90% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, so you’ll get some great color reproduction, and it also makes it a good option for doing other types of work.

All in all, the Lenovo Legion R25f-30 is an excellent monitor for those who need a ton of frames at lower resolutions, and with this deal from Lenovo bringing it down to just $162, it’s a steal. That said, if you’d still like to check out a few more options, these other monitor deals are pretty great.

Google and Cathay Pacific are using AI to tackle aviation’s overlooked climate problem
A third of aviation's climate impact comes from contrails most people never think about.
Aircraft, Flight, Transportation

Those wispy white lines trailing behind airplanes (called contrails) sure look harmless from the ground, but they're doing more damage to the climate than we realize.

As part of Operating Blue Skies, Google has partnered with Cathay Pacific, one of the major international airlines operating both passenger and cargo flights, to test and deploy AI-driven contrail mitigation technology across a region where air travel is growing faster than anywhere else: Asia Pacific.

As AI takes over schools, teachers are going back to basics to curb AI cheating
AI detectors kept getting it wrong, so schools are trying something that actually works.
ChatGPT on iPhone

Last year, teachers spent most of their energy trying to catch students using ChatGPT to write essays. This year, many have decided that's a losing battle, especially since the detectors meant to catch cheaters have been burning innocent students instead. 

A Bloomberg investigation found popular tools like GPTZero and Copyleaks wrongly flagged pre-ChatGPT college essays as AI-written, and one UC Davis senior was accused of cheating and handed a zero on his midterm, purely based on a detector's score, even though he wrote every word himself.

Meta’s upcoming AI life manager does more than just answer questions.

While most people's idea of AI is just a chatbot, agentic uses help build them as something more. Finding an email attachment, remembering a deadline, or following up on something that many people can take advantage of. Meta’s upcoming Muse agent is coming in as that solution.

Early screenshots shared by TestingCatalog show a personal assistant that can proactively handle everyday tasks and keep track of longer-term goals. The agent has reportedly moved from internal testing into a limited closed alpha, with invite-code functionality now appearing alongside its waitlist.
