Have you ever noticed that even after upgrading to some of the best high-end headphones, they still sound just fine despiteflagship hardware? Sometimes, even though you’ve dropped a few hundred bucks, the difference between the headphones you had and the upgrade feels negligible. And that’s even if you have the best-in-class music streaming subscription or a flagship phone with a high-end DAC to pair with it. I felt the same, but that was until I started using Wavelet. After using Wavelet for an extended period, I figured that the muddy bass and stingy vocals were not issues with the app,…
In 2001, an unassuming white box arrived and changed the gadget world. Good job it did, too – if Apple had carried on just making computers rather than music players with bundled wired headphones, we might all be walking around listening to MiniDiscs, taking photos on compact cameras and making phone calls on our Nokias. Imagine! But the iPod changed everything. And the iPod lasted as a core Apple product (and not so core Apple product) for 21 years. In 2022, Apple finally killed it. The writing was on the wall as early as 2017, when all models save the…

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…
