Who doesn’t love a touch of the classics? That’s why they’re called “the classics”, right? The wonderful part about owning a micro computer that fits into your pocket (and conveniently makes phone calls) is that it can run nearly any game you spent your childhood playing. The question then becomes: Which are the best old school games to play on your phone? Back before we had taste, we’d play anything and now that our time is a little more precious… well, we want to be selective in the games that we consume. That’s why we took a trip down memory avenue…

Signal went down for a day due to a surge in new users Given how everyone has been flocking away from WhatsApp after the less than fun update to its terms and conditions, it makes sense that competing apps may be put under strain. Signal has been flooded with new users desperately seeking refuge from

Everyone wants in on the lucrative gaming headset market. Everywhere you look there’s a new brand trying their hand at making the next fully immersive headset and mic that appeals to players wanting to look good on stream. Why opt for one of those brands when you could turn to one of the most established and trusted sources of gaming peripherals: Republic of Gamers. ROG has been around for ages and released loads of great products. So when we sat down with the Delta S gaming headset, we were excited. But after using the, for a couple of weeks we…

Google, clearly not pleased with the copious amounts of data it’s already farming from users, really wants to know what’s going on with everyone’s heart rate. To do that, they went ahead and placed an order for a Fitbit to make monitoring the process so much more efficient. Of course, we don’t mean they bought one of those smart fitness trackers but rather the entire company. That’s the MO of giant corporations in Silicon Valley, right? If you can’t do it yourself, buy someone who can. As of last night, Google and Fitbit have finalised negotiations on the acquisition of the company…

While Apple is the company that set the standard for awkwardly claiming it was saving the planet by removing the charging adapter from the box on shipped iPhone 12s, we all knew we’d see that again in the future. Samsung has just announced it will be doing the same thing for the Galaxy S21 range of phones. The reasoning behind it makes sense. During its Unpacked 2021 event, Samsung confirmed that it was removing the charger because it was actively trying to do its part to help make the planet a little cleaner by reducing the plastic that’s shipped with…

Despite all the leaks that flooded social media late last year (thanks to some guy who thought it was cool just out and sell them), the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro weren’t acknowledged by the company for a very long time… that is, until today. Samsung kicked off their Unpacked 2021 event by officially announcing the next step forward in the Galaxy Buds range and from what we’ve seen, they ought to be mightily impressive. We at Stuff are big fans of the Galalxy Buds and took a particular shine to last year’s Buds+ and Buds Live. Yet the Galaxy Buds Pro seem…

It’s been a wild week of tech announcements thanks to the fully online Consumer Electronics Show and while it’s slowly coming to an end that doesn’t mean there isn’t stuff to get excited over. For example, MSI just unveiled its new range of gaming laptops and we’ll be the first to admit that we can’t wait to get our hands on them. MSI announced a lot of new machines and while they all have their place in the market appealing to different kinds of consumers, we wanted to highlight the laptops that got us most excited. It’s no secret that all of…

WhatsApp really is trying its best to upset as many users as it possibly can. Last week it announced an exceptionally intrusive change to its terms and conditions and this week it’s been taken to South Africa’s Competition Tribunal by GovChat. It’s alleged that WhatsApp unfairly removed GovChat, a free bot set up by the South African government to distribute information and provide select services to citizens, from its platform due to an alleged breach of its terms of service. GovChat insists that it’s done no such thing and has thus taken the matter to those who can potentially undo…

Everything needs a smart equivalent these days, including your protective face masks. That’s why Razer’s Project Hazel is looking to revolutionise the mask and really make users feel like the cybergoths they always dreamed of becoming. While still only a concept, the idea behind Project Hazel is one that’s both cool and pretty ridiculous, which makes it even cooler in our books. Razer has essentially made an N95 face mask equipped with more bells and whistles than an orchestra’s storeroom. Let’s run through everything Razer’s managed to cram into this mask: It’s got RGB lighting, active disc-type ventilators that can…

If anyone is pleased about WhatsApp’s new terms and conditions change it’s the folks over at Telegram. A notification update was sent out last night via Telegram announcing that the instant messaging app had surpassed 500 million active users. It makes sense that such a milestone would be reached this week given how WhatsApp’s experiencing an exodus of users as the updated terms of services require folks to share their data with Facebook or get off the app entirely. Within the same update, Telegram confirmed that within the past 72 hours, more than 25 million signed up for the app.…
