It’s become somewhat of a norm to play games on a laptop. Fifteen years ago, if you’d told us we’d be able to play Doom Eternal on that little piece of machinery mostly used to file taxes and send emails, we’d have laughed for two reasons. Firstly, we’d be shocked that Doom had received another incredible instalment after the disappointment of Doom 3 and secondly, how could a laptop be considering a serious system for gaming? Well, as the years have flown past and all the tech needed to power the latest games became more powerful without growing in size,…

Ahead of the official announcement on 26 March, Huawei has had the information on their latest range of phones leaked to the world. Not only do we know more about the P40 but we also have a much better idea of what we can expect from the P40 Pro and its robust camera. We at Stuff are gearing up for the launch of Huawei’s latest flagship line, the P40-series. Hailed as the next big step forward for Huawei’s mobile division, there’s a lot riding on the P40 especially given how it’ll be forced to function without Google, something which seems…

The rise of the robots has turned out to be a little… friendlier than we were expecting it to be. WhatsApp has joined forces with the World Health Organisation to help fight the spread of fake news and misinformation regarding the coronavirus while Apple’s Siri has been updated to help users figure out whether or not they’re infected with the virus. We at Stuff have said it plenty of times: Fake News Kills. Okay, maybe we don’t say it that often but we all believe it! The spread of misinformation is a plague on society, one that only makes the actual plague…

The fibre and broadband service provider, Supersonic, has confirmed that some new packages are specifically targeted at businesses that have a displaced workforce. It hopes that these deals might encourage more people to self-isolate to avoid spreading the coronavirus. With more and more people choosing to work from home in the midst of a (potential) shutdown of the country, plenty of us are looking to our internet service providers and wondering whether or not they have any plans to help those of us stuck inside with our constant online surfing. Yet for businesses, the need for employees to have Internet…

DStv has continued down its path of trying to help bored, isolated users however they can by making yet another bundle of channels accessible to all subscribers. While previous offers such as this were relegated to DStv Now, everyone with a decoder will be able to take advantage of this “open window”. DStv is doing the most to convince people that they’re worth keeping around, as they’ve announced some big (temporary) changes coming to their SuperSport channels. Following their announcement that certain channels will be made available to all South Africans through DStv Now, the broadcaster has announced that starting from today,…

Who doesn’t enjoy a good ol’ Netflix Party? There are so many excellent (and not so excellent) films and series on Netflix that it would be a shame if you just watched them by yourself. You really need to share that kind of entertainment with your buds/significant other/family members you’d rather be in the same room with. Odds are, you’re more likely to not be sharing a TV with anyone else in these days of self-isolation and quarantine. Still, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t share the joys of Netflix! We’re going to help you set up a Netflix party online so that…

Massmart have confirmed that it is in the process of shutting down 34 stores across South Africa, and that includes all surviving DionWired stores. The axing of Dion Wired comes 50 years after the chain first opened its doors and just twelve years after its previous near-death experience. Pour one out for the fallen franchise. Since 1970, the name Dion has been associated with one of South Africa’s largest and most recognisable retailers. It’s a storied history for a once-successful retail franchise. Following a massive surge in popularity in the 1970s and 80s, the Dion chain of stores owned the…

Back in the days before everyone was fretting and stressing over a virus slowly spreading itself across the country, our society was quite good at keeping ourselves entertained. Problem is, a lot of those fun and exciting times were had outside which is right where COVID-19 wants us. While plenty of people have flocked to video games as a source of entertainment when they’re holed up with nothing to do, sometimes it’s also good to tear yourself away from the screen every once in a while. Which is where board games come into play. While many might scoff at the…

With Sony officially unveiling all the internals of the PlayStation 5, it’s finally time to run some comparisons. While Microsoft seems adamant that the Xbox Series X is undoubtedly the more powerful machine, now that we know exactly what’s inside the PlayStation 5 we can finally figure out who’s winning the very literal power struggle, Even if we still don’t actually know what the PS5 even looks like. They have to show it off soon…right? CPU In terms of the central processing unit, both the PS5 and the Xbox Series X have some seriously chunky hardware. The Series X is…

Tumours have been swirling that Apple was gearing up to launch a brand new version of the iPad Pro, this time with a trackpad to further blue the lines between tablet and laptop. Well, it turns out the leaks are true as this new iteration of the classic iPad has been unveiled and is available to order right now. The dream of every tablet is to replace a laptop. It’s what we imagine their parents tell their wee baby tablets as they’re growing up, psyching them up for a future where they usurp the dominant device of the working…
