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.…

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.

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.
