The company is rolling out two new features to help users quickly access previously uploaded files, including a Recent files menu and a dedicated Library tab. How do ChatGPT’s new file management features work? Until now, files in ChatGPT were largely tied to individual conversations, which meant finding them often involved going back to the original chat and scrolling through long threads. The new Recent files option in the attachment menu now lists some of the files you’ve used most recently, making it easier…

Intel’s expected 10% CPU price hike would’ve been annoying in any year. But in 2026, it just feels like one more shove in a hobby that is already exhausting to keep up with.

What’s holding back every PC gamer? The expected Intel hike lands on top of everything…
