Look, it’s not going to be the football you’re used to seeing but at least it’s something. I mean, come on. FIFA 20 and the Premier League are all about many sweaty men kicking balls. The upside to players participating in FIFA 20 games is that they’ll waste less time pretending to be hurt. It was just last week that we reported on how several professional racing organisations have turned their attention to the simulation scene in order to provide fans which the high octane action they crave. Now it looks like The English Premier League will be doing the…

The local fintech company known for simplifying in-person payments with smarter and more sophisticated card machines has announced that their platform will now allow small businesses to manage and accept online payments while the country remains in lockdown to at least help bring in some kind of cash. While massive online retailers have arguably been the least impacted by the national lockdown of South Africa it’s the smaller, more personal business that are truly suffering. Those businesses that require walk-in customers to sustain any kind of profit have it rough at the best of times but with people not leaving…

This is no doubt an attempt to consolidate podcast creators and listeners into exclusively using Spotify as their go-to podcast app but it does mean that up and coming podcasters have a better opportunity to be discovered by a wider audience. Curated playlists is one of the things Spotify does arguably better than anyone else in the music app business. Spotify just seems to be the app that all music lovers and enthusiasts gravitate towards due to their recommendation algorithms and impressively intuitive Discover Weekly playlists. Having said that, while Spotify does offer a whole range of cool options for…

Just the other day I had a group call with my family. We’re scattered all over the country and while everyone else was able to see one another they couldn’t see me. For the simple fact that the webcam on my laptop is broken and I never actually invested in a camera for my desktop. I mean, who actually needs an external webcam these days? Well, turns out in a world that’s predominately working from home, plenty of people are in need of a camera to see their colleague’s bored expressions during meetings. They can be quite tricky to come…

The feature, which will be launching for all Android devices, is designed so that all of you with chunky fingers don’t accidentally smack the pause button as you roll over in bed while not acting like a sensible person and just putting your phone down before getting comfy. Okay, maybe the chunky fingers thing was a little rude. In our defense, we also have chunky fingers! It’s a side effect from sitting around all day fiddling with gadgets and computers. So when we crawl into bed at night and throw on a Netflix series onto our Android tablet for cosy…

The Man with the Golden Voice and the patience of a saint might be too old to go climbing up trees in the jungle but he still knows how to teach people around the world. In this case, David Attenborough is teaching kids all about geography through online videos and courses designed to keep them thinking during quarantine. Okay, so a bit of a forewarning before we get too deep into this very cool piece of news: You’ll need a VPN to access Bitesize Daily’s video content. The biggest education initiative in the history of the BBC, Bitesize Daily is…

This marks the second time Google will be delving into the personal finance business. It’s also typical Google that while the rest of the world shifts away from using physical cards they decide to bring them back into fashion. Or at least try too. How liberating is it to have have to carry a debit card around? Sure, they’re not exactly heavy and they don’t really take up too much space but they’re just…old, you know? Why fiddle around in your card when everything can just be done on mobile these days? That was Google’s thinking with Google Wallet back…

Nearly a year since a terrible fire ravaged the historic French cathedral Notre-Dame, architects have been hard at work reconstructing every inch of the building. Yet the rebuild hasn’t been limited to stone and mortar. The digital architects over at Ubisoft have been building Notre-Dame from the inside out all so that we may soon be able to explore those hallowed halls through the lens of a VR headset. The world mourned the destruction that befell Notre-Dame. While some cynical old people proclaimed the fire that razed the cathedral less important than many of the other disasters humanity was undergoing…

The universe is filled with mysteries we’ll probably never answer. For example, what actually caused The Big Bang that brought life into existence? What was the real use for Stonehenge? How does The Simpsons keep on going despite its diminished quality? Yet the question that puzzles and yet amuses in equal volumes is: “Why do cats adore cardboard boxes so?” While Samsung may not be able to answer that question, they’re certainly going to do their part in helping cats have a spot of fun, especially if their owners have just recently bought a new TV. If you decide to go…

After a furious debate in the Stuff home offices we decided that Crysis can now officially be called a “retro game”. That thing came out in 2007, making it old enough to head off to high school. It’s back and receiving the glow-up it deserves with a remastered release on every current generation console, namely Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC… and even the Nintendo Switch. The King of Burnt GPUs has risen from his grave once again, ready to stare down all these so called “powerful consoles” that should be able to run it without breaking a sweat. Crysis’ remaster may make us…
