The fifth and final season of Netflix’s sci-fi adventure series Stranger Things wrapped up in December 2025, and at least online, there was a ton of blowback. We’re now well into the new year, and new controversies continue to arise. At this point, it’s starting to feel like fans are picking at a scab. It’s clear a lot of people were dissatisfied with the way Stranger Things ended, but the pile-on now seems to be the point. The many controversies of Stranger Things 5 From Conformity Gate to SNL The first four episodes of Stranger Things season 5 came out…
Your smart TV is probably handling your needs perfectly. If it wasn’t, you’d probably get a new one. But are you using your smart TV’s abilities to their potential? It’s hard to know because you might not even be aware of what those are. If you purchased a smart TV, you likely did some reading about its features to help you narrow your choice. You likely didn’t just show up to the store and point to one and say, “That’s it. Ring me up.” Smart TVs have different features depending on their operating systems, screen sizes, panel colors, and more.…
One of the most exciting additions to Apple’s iPhone 16 smartphone lineup was Camera Control. This feature, in the form of a dedicated camera button also on the newer iPhone 17 series, merges Apple’s hardware design with advanced software capabilities to make getting the perfect shot that little bit easier. Here’s everything you need to know about Camera Control: What is Camera Control? On the surface, Camera Control is a dedicated camera button, but dig a little deeper and you’ll soon realise there’s a lot more going on that makes Camera Control a genuinely innovative addition to newer iPhones. The…
I have anxiety. Not the kind of opener you usually see in a Stuff column, granted, but stick with me. Sometimes, my anxiety manifests due to me misplacing things. And let me tell you, I am a master in putting things down and, mere minutes later, wondering where they’ve vanished to. If it’s a book, that’s merely mildly irritating. But if it’s my keys, my wallet, or a bag? I immediately go into what’s technically known as ARGH! mode, which involves a frenzied hunt, frantically trying to discover where said object is lurking. Which is why I adore AirTags – and why I’m genuinely…
The Tank is a World War II movie that was released in limited theaters on September 18, 2025, before landing on Prime Video on January 2, 2026. It has since become one of the most-watched movies on the streaming service and the most-watched Amazon Prime original movie in the United States as of this writing. And that’s kind of surprising, because The Tank has some features you’d figure might keep viewers away, including the fact that it’s entirely in German with English subtitles. But the movie has managed to break through anyway. What makes it special? What is The Tank…
Science fiction is a wide umbrella. Sci-fi shows like Pluribus and Severance are fantastic, but they’re not overly concerned with whether the far-flung concepts they come up with are actually plausible; the sci-fi ideas are mostly excuses to get to the human story. Then there’s a show like The Expanse, which does its best to tell a sci-fi story with aliens and interplanetary travel that still mostly adheres to the actual laws of physics. For All Mankind, a show on Apple TV+ that for my money is the most underrated sci-fi series on TV, tries to keep things even more…
Apple replaced the traditional ring/silent switch with the Action Button on the iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max flagship phones and has featured it on each model since, rolling it out across all new iPhones starting with the iPhone 16 range which also featured the Camera Control button for the first time. But what does the Action Button do – and how can you customize what it does? Instead of flicking a switch to set your phone to silent, you now press and hold the button for a haptic feedback response. This is all done via a bespoke interface that’s part of…
This week, sandwiched between emails about bake sales and discos, was a more ominous message from my kid’s school. This year, a smartphone ban will target youngest year groups first and then creep through schools like rising damp. By 2030, every local school will be smartphone-free, bar when kids need one for medical reasons. Everyone else? They’ll be stuck with a data-free, camera-free, largely featureless ‘feature phone’, partying like it’s 1999. This is a bad idea. Before I get a deluge of angry emails from parents, teachers and politicians, I get it. Smartphones can be a real problem. Concerns about…

Streaming has become the norm for consuming entertainment. While you can watch all kinds of shows and movies on your phone and tablet, sitting in front of a TV is still the best way to view what you want. Being able to kick back and relax to enjoy the latest episode of your favorite show is one of the pleasures everyone looks forward to. However, there are features of your TV that can make your viewing experience a lot better. I’m a bit of a cinephile and love to watch movies in dark settings to make it feel like a…
