Unfortunately we’ve gone and spoiled things with the headline but we’re willing to bet that if you weren’t aware that Fallout Miami was a player-made mod, you’d assume that Bethesda had gone and sneaked in a new Fallout release while you were distracted by Fallout 76. Go ahead. Go ahead and watch the official Fallout Miami trailer and then tell us that it doesn’t feel like someone went and took Fallout: New Vegas (the best Fallout that isn’t turn-based) and dumped it into the swampy, lunatic-filled setting that is Miami, Florida. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPtAjvtJhf8 The game mod is unmistakably made from existing…

Samsung’s not very good at keeping secrets, something we’re still not sure isn’t completely intentional on their part. The latest secret the company has failed to keep is the Galaxy Watch, the next wearable device to enter the market. We’re familiar with the likes of Samsung’s wearables, with the most recent being the Gear S3 range. An announcement for the Gear S4 is supposedly imminent, but there’s also talk of the line either being renamed to the Galaxy Watch, or a whole new line arriving under the new moniker in addition to a Gear S4. A leak on Samsung’s own website…

Aquaman is looking like the next DC movie we absolutely have to see Okay, so the last few Superman and Batman films... weren't great. The one with both of them, even less so. But Wonder Woman was an absolute blast and we've got similar hopes for the upcoming Aquaman. The often-mocked superhero's live-action outing got

We’ve been keeping an eye on the antics of one Frank Zapata for some time now, ever since 2014 when he came out with the aquatic HoverBoard. Then there was the Flyboard Air, which is basically a portable jet engine that set a world distance record in 2016. Over water, we have to stress. Well, good old Franky is back with the Flyboard Air and this time he’s left the safety of water, opting instead to race a Lamborghini, impress kids, and fly over a bit of water. Hey, if you’re zipping by things at 166km/h in mid-air you want…

It is written by the late, great Terry Pratchett in The Way of Mrs. Cosmopilite, there’s a lot that goes on that we don’t know about. Hey, it works for Lu-Tze. But there’s also a bit of truth there for the rest of us, as this trailer for General Magic shows. And don’t feel bad if the words ‘General Magic’ don’t immediately throw up a memory of a Silicon Valley company circa 1990 to 1994 (it closed down in 2002). The company, which played host to some of the more influential names in tech (including Andy Rubin and Android and…

This is the sound of the future: Roborace autonomous race car completes Goodwood’s uphill climb If you’re a Stuff reader then there’s a passing chance that you’re familiar with Roborace, the autonomous race car project currently being tested on tracks of all sorts. The driverless vehicle’s latest achievement was completing the Goodwood uphill climb over the weekend at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Above is the video of the Roborace run, which completed without hitting anything it wasn’t supposed to (like the crash barrier). A couple of other autonomous cars also gave the drive a shot but were guided through a…

Every issue, Stuff Magazine has at least a few items to give away. This month we’ve got two sets of Jabra Elite 65t wireless in-ear headphones to give away to two Stuff readers. But you knew that already. And we know that you know, because the URL for this page appears in the July-August 2018 issue of Stuff Magazine.

And here’s why you want a set of the Jabra Elite 65t wireless in-ear headphones: Because they’re awesome. Too short? It’s got…

In order to have smarter cars we’re going to have to connect them to the internet, to each other, and other things on the side of the road. Audi seems to understand that and they’re bringing in Huawei to help them to connect their vehicles. The two companies have announced a partnership that will see them developing so-called “Intelligent Connected Vehicles” together. These vehicles will feature a reliable high-speed internet connection, a prerequisite for truly smart cars, and Huawei will be making sure those are installed. It’s not just intelligent cars, though, as Audi and Huawei are planning to “…improve…
