TL;DR: Secretlab and Marvel just launched the Titan Evo Marvel Spider-Man Edition, a red-and-black gaming chair featuring a web-patterned back and Venom-inspired tendril details. This limited-edition chair is now available in the U.S., Canada, and the EU.

Secretlab just teamed up with Marvel for the first time, and the result is a gaming chair built entirely around Spider-Man. The Secretlab Titan Evo Marvel Spider-Man Edition features a red-and-black color scheme, riding the wave of Spider-Man: Brand New Day hype. It's available now in the U.S., Canada, and the EU.

If you're in the market for Spider-Man merch that doubles as functional furniture, this chair checks that box. The red-and-black palette is meant to channel the character's classic look, and there's a Spider-Man emblem stitched into the backrest.

The back is upholstered in Secretlab's SoftWeave Plus fabric, woven into a web-like pattern of thin lines, made possible through what Secretlab describes as an advanced knitting process. As a nod to Venom, dark tendril patterns creep along the side wings and seat base, too.

Underneath the Spider-Man theming, this is still a Titan Evo, so it comes with the same comfort features as the standard chair. That includes cold-cure foam designed for long sitting sessions, a sculpted "pebble" seat base to distribute pressure more evenly (and leave room for sitting cross-legged), and four-way L-ADAPT lumbar support that adjusts to the curve of your lower back as you shift positions.

This is easily one of Secretlab's best collabs yet, Spider-Man fan or not. Pricing hasn't been announced, so keep an eye on Secretlab for details.

We all know chugging down the ounces is good for us. Our physical bodies depend on water to survive, and yet, most of us are on the struggle bus when it comes to actually staying hydrated. It's one of life's greatest mysteries as to why we have trouble consistently consuming a tasteless beverage to keep our bodies healthy and happy. One small improvement, however, is getting a water bottle you actually like. A Mashable favorite is on sale today for a nice 20% discount.

As of Aug. 26, the 30-ounce Owala FreeSip Sway water bottle is on sale in select colorways for $27.99 at Amazon, marked down from the usual price of $34.99. That matches the lowest price we've seen.

When it comes to finding the best water bottle, Mashable staffers are all in on the Owala FreeSip. Mashable Lead Shopping Reporter Samantha Mangino has owned her FreeSip for years. In her review, she wrote, "The Owala FreeSip lives up to its promise of both a sippable and chuggable water bottle. The best part to me is that, unlike other bottles with a straw that I've used, the FreeSip has a cover for the spout. That way, when you're out and about in the world, it's safe from germs and bacteria."

That makes it a great travel companion knowing it won't spill in your backpack or tote. But keep in mind the Owala FreeSip is not designed for hot beverages.

Since it's a staff favorite at Mashable and it's on sale for a great price, consider making the upgrade to the Owala FreeSip Sway water bottle. It's perfect for back-to-school season and getting a fresh start with hitting daily hydration goals.

With 51 different possible Marvel Super Heroes themes floating around in this set, you can mash up your favorite heroes and villains to create wild combos. Reviewers also say that this box is a great way to hunt for cards like Dr. Doom, Vision, or Scarlet Witch.

TL;DR: IKEA and Xbox teamed up on Yxstaby, a nine-piece gaming furniture collection featuring a rolling TV stand, a toolbox that doubles as a laptop stand, a side table for controllers, a monitor stand, and a stool modeled after an Xbox thumbstick. It launches in IKEA stores and online Oct. 1.

Gaming doesn't happen in one dedicated room anymore — it happens at the kitchen table, on the couch, and everywhere in between. IKEA and Xbox built an entire furniture collection around that reality, and it's arriving this fall.

The collection, called Yxstaby, is the result of a collaboration between designers from both companies, who spent time visiting gamers' homes to figure out what a gaming setup needs to do. The idea: furniture that makes room for play when it's happening, and disappears back into everyday life when it's not.

"How people play at home has shifted, and it is as much about relaxing and connecting with others as it is about performing, which changes what the space has to do," said Philip Dilé, product design developer at IKEA of Sweden, in a statement.

Credit: IKEA / Xbox Nine pieces built around real gaming habits

The nine-piece lineup leans on small, practical fixes for common gaming annoyances:

• A rolling TV stand — the first of its kind for IKEA, it rolls to wherever the game is happening and comes with storage for gear on the back, then rolls away when you're done

• A toolbox — keeps controllers, cables, and hardware organized, with a lid that doubles as a laptop stand, so a dining table can become a gaming station and then just go back to being a dining table

• A side table — rolls to wherever you're sitting, giving controllers a spot besides the arm of the couch, plus space to charge behind sliding doors

• A monitor stand — raises one or two screens to a comfortable height, with storage underneath and holders for a phone, headphones, and a controller

Beyond the functional pieces, the collection also leans into Xbox's controller design for its look:

• A D-pad cushion and platter — a soft cushion and a matching stainless steel platter, both shaped like the Xbox controller's D-pad

• A mirrored display box — shows off a controller (or other collectibles) from every angle

• A thumbstick stool — built from Xbox's actual 3D design files, it's shaped like a giant thumbstick and even tilts the way a real one does when you sit on it

Credit: IKEA / Xbox

The whole collection sticks to a muted white, black, and beige palette with pops of green marking storage spots for gear, so the pieces are designed to blend into a room you already have rather than look like a gaming setup bolted on.

Yxstaby was unveiled at Gamescom this month and launches in IKEA stores and online from Oct. 1. Availability may vary by market.

After a week of Grand Theft Auto VI leaks, Rockstar Games has finally addressed the Cyberleek situation, calling it "heartbreaking."

In a rare public statement posted to its X account, Rockstar acknowledged the leaks and confirmed that they do, in fact, show gameplay footage of GTA VI. Rockstar's parent company, Take-Two Interactive Software, previously acknowledged this fact in a string of subpoenas filed to unmask the culprits. In the statement, Rockstar took an apologetic tone for how long it has taken not only for the game to come out, but for Rockstar to show the game, too.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

"It would be an understatement to say that having videos of Grand Theft Auto VI gameplay leak in this way has been heartbreaking for our team, and this is obviously not how we intended for you to see the game after all this time," the statement said. "We are very sorry that everything has taken as long as it has — from getting the game finished (nearly there!) to sharing more details and official gameplay, and providing the community with everything you want to know."

Unfortunately for Rockstar, the leaker known only as Cyberleek appears unfazed, releasing a fifteenth gameplay clip online shortly after Rockstar issued its statement on Wednesday morning.

SEE ALSO: GTA 6 Cyberleek update: Everything leaked so far, what might be next

The statement went on to say that the company knows it needs to "exceed your expectations" with the big, official gameplay reveal on Netflix on Thursday. That is still happening as scheduled, and will hopefully show much more of the gameplay, plot, and characters than the Cyberleek videos, which have mostly depicted the protagonist Jason beating up NPCs and stealing cars.

And by Nov. 19, when the game comes out, hopefully none of this will have mattered.

Music icon Cyndi Lauper is this week's guest on Table Manners with Jessie and Lennie Ware and honestly, it's a feast to remember.

In the foodie interview podcast released Wednesday, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and forever New Yorker sat down with the Wares for her favourite meal of borscht, with fig and almond tart for dessert.

Between bites, Lauper unpacked everything from her Sicilian family upbringing, her major hits like "True Colors" and "Girls Just Want To Have Fun," the realities of making marinara, documentary Let The Canary Sing, the lawsuit with her band Blue Angel, her favourite New York restaurants (Le Veau d’Or, Lucien, Frankie's), and her charity which advocates for the rights and health of women, girls, and LGBTQ+ people.

"The only time that I really felt and cried was at the first women's demonstration when everybody wore pink hats, and I saw these young girls with these signs, "Girls Just Want to Have Fundamental Rights." And I used to get in trouble for talking about feminism!" says Lauper in the video above.

Honestly, my kingdom for a seat at this table.

TL;DR: Starting Sept. 5, DoorDash's Streaks program rewards college football fans for ordering on Saturdays: 1,000 fans who place four qualifying $20+ orders get $250 in DoorDash credit, one fan wins a Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat, and college students nationwide can get free Student DashPass through Oct. 12.

Saturday college football and DoorDash orders already go hand in hand — now DoorDash is making sure you get something back for it.

The company's Streaks program is returning for the 2026 season, and starting Sept. 5, fans can score everything from game-day credit to free DashPass to a literal muscle car, just for doing what they were already going to do anyway: order food and watch the games.

How to score $250 for your watch party

1,000 fans who place four qualifying orders (each with a $20+ subtotal) will get $250 in DoorDash credit to cover a Saturday watch-party order for their crew. Basically, keep ordering through the season, and DoorDash foots the bill for one big one. One fan will also win a Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat — the ultimate game-day ride upgrade.

DoorDash is also giving college students nationwide a free Student DashPass through Oct. 12, which helps reduce delivery costs for game-day orders all season long. If you're in school and ordering food most Saturdays anyway, this one's an easy way to save.

The real jackpot: $757,500 toward a house

Every month that fans hit their Streak milestone, they earn an entry toward the grand prize: $757,500 toward the house of their dreams, plus a new fridge stocked with a year's supply of Dr. Pepper. So the more consistently you're ordering on Saturdays, the more entries you're racking up toward that.

These September rewards are just the start. DoorDash says new deals and prizes will keep dropping throughout the season for fans who order on Saturdays, and October's next big prize is still on the way, so there's reason to keep ordering well past September.

When it comes to multitasking, Liz Plank (@feministabulous) might just be the poster-child. She is a content creator, journalist (Vox), author (For the Love of Men), podcaster (Boy Problems), amongst too many titles to name. Liz Plank is a true queen of all trades.

Recently, Plank met up with Mashable's Executive Producer, Mark Stetson, in New York's Washington Square Park, her "favorite place." On a much too sunny park bench, the two delved into the nooks and crannies of content creation, why dating can be wildly different for men and women, and what it truly means to "win the career lottery."

"My favorite thing right now is my podcast!" Plank's latest venture is her podcast, Boy Problems, which soared into the 1% of Spotify podcasts and is still one of the most listened podcasts on Spotify. "I had to teach myself how to do a 3-camera setup in my own bedroom because that's what you have to do when you have zero budget. And in the end I think it made the show that much better. I love to connect, I am a connection slut. And so I loved that it felt like I was on the same level as the audience."

Plank opened up about the realities of modern content creation, from navigating burnout and the pressure to monetize, to building a genuine connection with your audience and maintaining authenticity. "If you're trying to be authentic, then you're already not. It was easier to be authentic earlier on because there was no model. And now there are so many models and influencer culture and so many people that you can imitate and use as role models. I think that role models are great, but be you. Don't try to be someone else."

Boy Problems is available anywhere you find your podcasts and on YouTube.

ChatGPT can now check your insurance, cancel flights, or reschedule deliveries for you, all seemingly without seeing your login details.

Announced by OpenAI on X, the AI assistant will be able to complete tasks for users that they'd usually have to open a new browser and log in with a username and password to do. (And please don't tell us you've been dropping your login details into AI chatbot conversations. Stop that now.)

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Available on mobile and web for Plus, Pro, and Business users, the update functions within the GPT‑5.6-powered ChatGPT Work, a task management agent within the chatbot that pulls workflows into one spot.

However, the tool is focused beyond boardrooms. According to OpenAI, ChatGPT Work can now do things like set up utilities for your home, book a passport or medical appointment, buy or cancel plane tickets, or rearrange a package's arrival, all without viewing your login details. This moves the chatbot beyond its current in-chat booking abilities into deeper, more serious purchasing waters.

SEE ALSO: ChatGPT will let you book a table mid-chat

But how is ChatGPT actually blocked from seeing your username and password?

On OpenAI's help page, updated with the announcement, the company says ChatGPT Work functions through a cloud browser that can "read web pages, click buttons, enter information into forms, and carry out steps on supported public and signed-in websites." This means you're not putting your details directly into the Large Language Model (LLM) powering the chatbot, and again, it's unwise to drop these into your chats.

You'll need to start a task within ChatGPT, write your request as a prompt, and the chatbot will pause the conversation to generate a "secure form" for logging into a website through a remote browser. You might need to approve the website to ChatGPT and complete any two-factor authentication. According to OpenAI, "the username and password entered [in the secure form] are not visible to the model, and ChatGPT does not store those sign-in credentials."

The company adds that all sign-in requests are reviewed by an additional model for "signs of phishing or deception."

Featured Video For You Is ChatGPT Changing the Way We Write?

You can also control which websites ChatGPT has access to in Settings > Cloud browser, where you can select options to "Always ask," "Auto approve," or "Always allow." And some websites might restrict access from AI agents, so you might run into some that won't work with this automation.

Once you've done all the approvals and you're logged in, ChatGPT will unpause the conversation and move to complete requests. Notably, ChatGPT will ask you for confirmation in the chat "before actions that could be hard to reverse or create a financial, legal, account, or other real-world commitment, such as confirming a booking or making a payment." So, if you're about to drop cash on a flight, you'll have to give it the green light.

ChatGPT users can already connect their bank accounts and medical records to the platform, so this feels like just another step of handing the keys over to AI.

We're constantly inundated with new rumors, leaks, and genuine news about the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max that are likely to arrive this fall. That's exciting for Apple fanatics keen on owning the latest tech, but believe it or not, not everyone is obsessed with the iPhone.

SanDisk just gave your everyday storage a serious glow-up. To mark Pokémon's 30th anniversary, the company has launched two officially licensed drives that turn Mew and Mewtwo into storage you'll want to show off — and both are launching with a discount, so the collectible factor doesn't come at collector prices.

The Mew Edition flash drive is built around the character's status as the ancestor of all Pokémon, with a design made for grab-and-go convenience. It plugs in via USB-C and works with compatible phones (with an app), plus Mac and Windows computers, and the 128GB of storage holds around 5,000 photos, with room left for video and music.

Read speeds top out at 250MB/s, and the SanDisk app handles file transfers, copying, and backups across all your connected devices, so you're not manually dragging folders around every time you plug it in.

The Mewtwo Edition SSD is for heavier workloads. SanDisk says it moves data up to five times faster than an old-school portable hard drive, with read speeds up to 1,000MB/s — useful for offloading video, RAW photos, or larger creative projects rather than the occasional photo dump.

It's also built to hold up: no moving parts inside, and it's rated to withstand drops of up to 2 meters. Between the 500GB and 1TB options, it's meant for people who need higher capacity storage that still fits in a pocket.

Pick your Pokémon, then grab the drive before it's gone.

Your kitchen counter is about to get a lot less crowded.

Canoly just dropped the C50, its new flagship cold press juicer, and it's launching with a $200 discount right out of the gate — putting Canoly's most capable machine yet within reach for under $400.

This one machine does four jobs. The C50 makes cold-pressed juice, smoothies, sorbet, and nut or plant milk, swapping between them with three interchangeable strainers. If you've ever bought a juicer only to realize it can't do smoothies, or a blender that leaves pulp everywhere, this is Canoly's answer to that problem.

The touchscreen panel on the juicer has five one-tap modes, and the Bluetooth app lets you start or schedule a juicing session from your phone and pull from 50 built-in recipes. A smart anti-clog program, paired with a pre-cut blade, is designed to prevent jams before they happen, and the 7.1-inch feed chute is wide enough to fit whole fruits and vegetables without much chopping beforehand.

There's also a 100-ounce hopper, so you're not stuck refilling it for every glass, and the AC brushless motor runs at around 35 decibels, quiet enough that it won't wake up the rest of the house on an early morning smoothie run.

SEE ALSO: A new Ninja Boss blender is here: Meet the CrushBoss

It's built to hold up over time thanks to a food-safe PC chamber, a stainless-steel auger, and BPA-free strainers, all held together with a detachable latch system that makes it easy to break down and clean. It's also a step up from Canoly's previous model, the C16, which offered three functions and no smart controls — the C50 isn't just an upgrade, it's a full redesign.

Four appliances' worth of counter space, back down to one — grab the Canoly C50 while the $200 discount lasts.

Uber will now let parents remotely watch children's rides through their drivers' smartphones. Announced on Tuesday, the rideshare service has added a live video streaming feature to teen accounts, allowing their guardians to monitor them on their trips.

SEE ALSO: Flock pitched turning Uber and Lyft drivers into a mobile surveillance network

To use this new feature, the Uber driver must first have enabled live video. If they've done so and someone with an Uber teen account begins a trip, the adult linked to the account will receive a push notification alerting them that live video of the ride is available. The parent simply needs to tap the notification, and they'll be treated to a live feed from the front-facing camera on the driver's phone. Both the teen and the driver will receive notifications letting them know a parent is watching, and the stream will automatically end at the conclusion of the trip. 

Of course, this feature doesn't guarantee that anxious parents will be able to see their child in the Uber. Depending upon how the driver's phone is positioned, they may only get a view of the car's ceiling. However, considering that phone mounts are extremely common amongst Uber drivers, there's a good chance that at the very least they'll see the driver. Uber even suggests that drivers use a phone mount if they don't have app integration in the car itself.

The new feature launched in select U.S. regions on Tuesday, with rollout to continue across the country in the following weeks.

"Live video is the latest way we're updating teen accounts to meet the needs of families and build on existing safety features like live trip tracking, PIN verification, and audio recording," Uber's director of product management Ashu Manohar wrote in the announcement. "As live video expands nationwide over the coming weeks, we'll continue listening to feedback and improving the experience to help families stay connected when they’re on the go."

Interestingly, while adults linked to a child's account can watch the live video stream while their Uber trip is active, it will become inaccessible once the ride has concluded. Uber will apparently still keep the footage, stating that it will be reviewed if a safety incident is reported, but the encrypted video will not be viewable by the child, adult, or driver.

Last year, Uber admitted that it routinely approved people convicted of violent felonies to be drivers, provided the convictions were over seven years ago. While potential drivers convicted of murder, kidnapping, or sexual assault were subject to a blanket ban, other crimes such as assault and child abuse were permitted. According to Uber, this was an effort at "striking the right balance" between keeping riders safe and allowing felons to move on with their lives. 

A New York Times investigation also found that Uber had received reports of sexual abuse or misconduct every eight minutes between 2017 to 2022. In response, Uber stated that 75 percent of these reports were "less serious." A Phoenix court subsequently found Uber partially liable for rape and violence its drivers committed against passengers. 

Uber has since expanded its safety measures, and now runs background checks on the past 99 years of a driver's life rather than just seven.

Most people using AI are still only scratching the surface of what it can do. This bundle is built to close that gap.

For $29.99, you get lifetime access to six courses and 16 hours of AI training covering ChatGPT 5, Claude Code, and Claude Cowork, a markdown from the $174 list price.

The lineup starts with a ChatGPT 5 masterclass covering prompt engineering, content creation, and workflow automation, then moves into two Claude Cowork courses that teach you how to connect Claude to Gmail, Google Drive, Slack, and dozens of other apps to automate tasks without writing code.

A Claude Code course walks Agile and PM professionals through using AI for project workflows, and a Claude AI masterclass rounds out the no-code side of things. An AI LLM fundamentals course and a bonus AI product manager skills course are also included for anyone who wants the underlying concepts, not just the tools.

Every course was built by Paul Ashun, a consultant who has led software projects for companies including the BBC, General Electric, and Oracle. Access is available on desktop and mobile, and each course comes with a certificate of completion once finished. Your code has to be redeemed within 30 days of purchase, so it is worth activating it soon after buying even if you plan to work through the material over time.

This bundle fits business professionals, project managers, marketers, and freelancers who want to fold AI into daily work instead of treating it as a side experiment. It also works for anyone starting from scratch, since the courses are built for all experience levels.
