Sony has given PlayStation 4 owners a reason to not just pack their old console away and never look at it ever again. With the launch of the PlayStation 5 just a week away, Sony has confirmed that users that also own a PS4 will be able to continue playing PS5 games through streaming them onto the PlayStation 4. As long as both consoles are connected to the internet, you’ll be able continue playing a PS5 game on a PS4 in a different room. Why you have your consoles spread out like that is beyond us but we’re not about…

Drones are big business and Sony has cottoned on to that fact. Teased last night, Sony is on the verge of unveiling its own drone, to take the fight to more established companies like DJI. We still don’t know all that much about the product but let’s go out on a limb and guess that it probably won’t have the capacity to play PlayStation 5 games. Still, it’ll probably be pretty cool. The actual teaser put out by Sony only really gave us a look at the blades of the drone spinning above some green lighting, which feels like a…

Even though it might not be the best time to launch a new airline service, Lift isn’t paying doubters too much attention. South Africa’s new airline service is opening bookings for flights this week, specifically on Tuesday, 10 November. That’s when Lift’s website will open its virtual doors and allow folks to secure a seat for the service’s maiden flight. This comes exactly a month before Lift will start operating in earnest on 10 December 2020. Just in time for that holiday rush down to the beach, right? Founder Gideon Novick spoke to the Sunday Times about his vision for…

Google Photos, perhaps one of the most efficient ways of storing and editing images in the cloud, may be implementing some kind of payment wall for folks looking to take advantage of the service. Google Photos, which has always been free and simply required users to sign in with a Google account, may soon allow for images to be stored and organised on the platform but will require payment to access the editing suite. This information comes from XDA, who dug into Google Photo’s code and unearthed extra information regarding the services’s latest update. The paywall itself has been labelled as…

Spotify may offer a subscription just for podcasts Spotify is reportedly looking into offering a subscription service plan that would cater to those who use the app to listen to podcasts and nothing else. Which makes sense, right? Why would you want to pay for a full subscription if you prefer to listen to your

The first trailer for the Lego Star Wars Holiday Special dropped last week and it’s something you should definitely watch. Many folks might be wondering why this is such a big deal. You need to understand the context behind the Holiday Special. Also, if you’re actually sitting there genuinely wondering why you should care… just have an imagination and some heart, man. It’s Lego Star Wars. That’s always worth some excitement. We at Stuff adore Star Wars so you can just jog your grumpy self away. The Lego Star Wars Holiday Special sees the heroes of the modern Star Wars trilogy whisked back in time…

Netflix is rather upset about everyone criticising Cuties, a film that’s seen its fair share of controversy across the world for some themes that many have seen as inappropriate. Netflix is reportedly issuing DMCA takedown notices to anyone who bad-mouths the film on social media which is pretty shady no matter what your views on the subject matter at hand. Cuties is a French film that tells the story of a young girl rebelling against her parent’s conservative, traditional culture. In doing so, she begins to dance provocatively and become active on social media to express aspects of her identity that…

Tesla is launching it’s own brand of hard liquor, in an act that sends really mixed messages for a company that’s mostly known for developing cars. Tesla Tequila started off its unexpected life as an April Fool’s Day joke because, come on, the company wouldn’t actually go ahead and make it’s own brand of booze, right? There’s no way that would ever happen! But that’s the thing about Elon Musk. Man does everything in his power to embrace the meme he has become on social media. Thus, “Teslaquila” is a reality and you can order a lighting bolt-shaped bottle of the…

Self-destructing WhatsApp messages are finally arriving on a device near you as the feature is currently rolling out to all users. We wrote about WhatsApp’s disappearing messages a few weeks back when the instant messaging app was still testing it out in beta. WhatsApp has now confirmed that the latest update for the app will include the feature which is great news for anyone who really enjoys destroying their own texts. You weirdo. If you switch the option on, WhatsApp will automatically delete chats after seven days. This means that you should only really be left with chats of those…

Mr Price, the company that’s made a name for itself by selling decent-looking clothes at a fraction of the price you’d expect to pay at one of those fancy brand stores, is expanding… by shrinking. Don’t panic, the business itself isn’t downsizing just the size of some of its newer stores. To get closer to customers in rural areas and townships, Mr Price is establishing stores inside shipping containers, which is a genuinely cool idea. The new Mr Price stores are adorably compact but will offer customers the essentials you’d expect to find in a fully-fledged shop; They’ll come stocked…
