Wired’s 2026 office-chair guide says its reviewers tested 70 chairs and selected 15 recommendations for buyers upgrading their home-office seating.
A chair that fits a reviewer may not fit its buyer, and return shipping, warranty exclusions, and unavailable replacement parts can make a poor match expensive to undo.
Futurism reports that parents in New York City bring children to The Yard, a scrap-filled playground where adult playworkers supervise the use of saws, hammers, and other tools.
Parents weighing tool-based play against screen-heavy recreation need to distinguish the playground’s supervision arrangements from unproven claims about repairing cognitive harm.
DigitalBridge CEO Marc Ganzi told the Financial Times that the data-center investment group would serve as SoftBank’s “third-party infrastructure arm” following a $4 billion takeover.
Outside investors could finance more AI infrastructure than SoftBank could fund alone, but contracts, debt terms, and guarantees will determine who bears losses if demand falls short.
Egyptian authorities arrested six Matsadaash journalists last week and charged Mohamed Ashraf with joining a terrorist group and spreading false news on Sunday, according to the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights.
Detaining all six journalists constrains Matsadaash’s reporting before judicial review tests the accusations, while five journalists’ unknown whereabouts impede public scrutiny of their treatment.
Wired's October 3 yard-testing guide reported useful close-range protection from a rechargeable Thermacell vapor repeller, with replacement cartridges priced at $39 for a two-pack.

Lexington, Kentucky, police surrounded Will Penn and Robin Pen's home around 4 a.m. after a Flock vehicle search produced a possible match in a felony assault investigation, Futurism reports.
Escalating a broad vehicle match into an armed home visit exposes uninvolved residents to fear and danger before police establish a connection to the crime.
Libya’s Tripoli-based Government of National Unity said cooperation with Saddam Haftar was impossible after allegations linked him to August drone attacks on western fuel and power facilities.
A unity deal without enforceable protection for fuel and power facilities could leave residents exposed to further blackouts while rewarding actors capable of obstructing negotiations.
Futurism reported that wellness influencer Matt Roeske displayed a Revigator ceramic jug, said he had drunk its water for 250 days, and claimed radium water removes vaccine toxicity.
Viewers could mistake a repeated drinking ritual for evidence of safety or benefit and imitate a practice whose exposure and claimed medical effects have not been established.
Nvidia raised the Shield TV Pro’s price from $199.99 to $299.99 starting October 2, according to Wired, citing increased component costs for the streaming device introduced in 2019.

NPR examined whether a lawsuit against Cornell University could improve student safety, with attorney Baine Kerr explaining universities’ responsibilities after sexual-assault reports.
