Spending hours at a desk can make the right office chair feel less like an upgrade and more like an essential part of your workspace. Whether you’re a writer working from home, a corporate professional hopping between meetings, or someone whose “quick task” turns into three hours at a desk, your office chair gets far more use than you realize. Finding the right ergonomic office chair isn’t just about fixing stiffness but about building a workspace that genuinely supports how you work. Adjustable lumbar support, seat depth, armrests, recline, and proper spinal alignment all make a measurable difference when you…

Whether you like it or not, ChatGPT is already everywhere. People use it to research complicated topics, clean up their writing, learn new skills, plan their lives, and, in my case, ask an embarrassing number of questions I could have figured out myself. Teenagers are no exception. In fact, OpenAI says nearly nine in 10 teens who use ChatGPT turn to it to learn, find information, develop skills, or get things done during a typical week. So rather than pretending students aren’t going to use AI, OpenAI is taking a different approach: give them a version built specifically for them.…

Just today, we covered news of AirPods Pro with a built-in camera, spotted through a demo video hidden inside the macOS Tahoe 26.7 release candidate. Now, new leaks from that very same build are confirming two more details about how these AirPods will actually function. What happens if your hair covers the camera? Aaron from MacRumors shared the new findings in a post on X. If your hair happens to block the camera on your AirPods, you’ll get an error titled “Hair Detected.” The message reads, “To get the most accurate information about things in your environment, make sure AirPods…

A good gaming setup is usually built around what is directly in front of you, from the monitor and keyboard to the gaming PC or console powering everything. The chair underneath, however, matters just as much, especially when a quick gaming session somehow turns into several hours at your desk. While basic comfort is essential, features like adjustable lumbar support, flexible armrests, dense cushioning, and tailored sizing set the top models apart. They go beyond flashy racing aesthetics to deliver genuine posture alignment during extended sessions. With so many options available, choosing the right gaming chair can quickly become overwhelming.…

Finding music for a run sounds easy until you actually try. Your favorite playlist might work perfectly for a relaxed jog, then feel completely wrong when you’re pushing through intervals. And after hearing the same handful of workout songs for the hundredth time, even a good playlist can start feeling painfully predictable. Spotify thinks it has a better solution. Its new Running Mode is now rolling out to Premium subscribers using Android and iOS in the US, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and Sweden, and rather than simply handing you another workout playlist, it builds one around the…

Order of the Sinking Star, the next puzzle game by Braid/The Witness creator Jonathan Blow and his team at Thekla, has a release date. The massive adventure arrives on October 8.First revealed at The Game Awards 2025, Order of the Sinking Star unfolds in a fantasy world boasting over 1,000 unique, interconnected puzzles.  Players control a princess transported to another world made up of four biomes, each filled with bespoke characters and puzzles that, eventually, converge to blend their mechanics in increasingly complex ways. Because of the game’s immense size, Thekla also enlisted design help from other game designers such as Alan…

There is little doubt that Grand Theft Auto VI will be the biggest game of 2026, and potentially the biggest entertainment release of the year. With Rockstar finally set to launch it on November 19, the gaming world has spent years waiting for Vice City to make its return, and I’m no different. But the more games I’ve played this year, and the more I look at what’s still coming, the more I think we’re viewing 2026 through the wrong lens. Because GTA VI isn’t what makes this year special. It’s everything around it. The games have already been cooking…

Most US smartphone buyers gravitate towards popular smartphone brands, including Apple, Samsung, and Google. And while there’s no denying that these companies make exceptional smartphones, they all fall short in the department of repairability.  Break the display, and you are looking at repair costs of upwards of $300. Want to change the battery? It’s going to cost you at least $100, and even if you are ready to pay, you cannot repair it yourself.  Fairphone rightly thinks that’s ridiculous, and it just brought its fix-it-yourself philosophy to the US for the first time. What makes the Fairphone actually repairable? A…

Nioh 3 was one of our favorite games from the early months of 2026, and the jumbo-sized adventure is getting a substantial story expansion called Hell Rising this week, August 19. Hell Rising introduces a new map set in the Keian era in 1651 following the death of shogun Takechiyo, as well as new enemies, weapons, equipment, and more. Following the expansion’s reveal, we had several questions about Hell Rising’s story (is protagonist Takechiyo really dead?), its overall size, and how its new systems complement the existing features. To elaborate on what Hell Rising brings to the table, we asked Team…

With the number of gadgets I use every day, I have reached the point where another charging brick needs to do something smart or better for me to consider buying it. The Ugreen Nexode Pro 100W 4-Port GaN Charger with Smart Display has quietly arrived in the US after recently launching in the UK. It carries a $64.99 list price, while Ugreen and Amazon currently advertise a $54.99 promotional price.
