It takes real talent to make a home gaming system uglier than the original C64. But Commodore managed it with the C64GS, which was about as attractive as a radiator. If you bought one back in December 1990, you have Stuff’s sympathies. But that’s no C64! Where’s the rest of it? Does the ‘GS’ stand for ‘Got Suckered’? ‘Games System’, actually. It’s right there on the sticker, though your version is apt. Commodore UK, having spotted the looming threat of consoles, asked its US overlords for permission to make a cut-price C64 for people who only wanted to play games. It then…
Right now, Apple TV+ is getting a lot of attention for airing Pluribus, which is quickly becoming everyone’s new nerdy obsession. But Pluribus is far from the only sci-fi show that’s thriving over there. Between Severance, Silo, For All Mankind, and more, it’s clear that the people at Apple TV+ love throwing money at sci-fi TV, and not every project they make gets the attention it deserves. For instance, the first season of a sci-fi comedy show called Murderbot aired this past summer, and now that the year is almost over, it’s time to give the series its flowers. Murderbot…

Here we’ve gathered together a list of everything that’s rumored to be launching next year. As you’ll see, this list starts with devices you’d definitely expect from Apple in 2026, but there are surprises further down and some of these products – especially things like ‘tabletop robot’ and ‘Vision Air’ are surely further out. I’ve heard that Vision Air is slated for 2027 or even 2028 for example. I’d expect…

CarPlay links your iPhone – even mid-range phone models– to your car’s infotainment display. It puts access to familiar apps and features right on your dashboard, partly replacing your car’s built-in system – which, let’s face it, probably isn’t as slick. Read our Apple CarPlay Ultra review now. At Apple’s WWDC 2022 software showcase, the show was unexpectedly stolen with a major CarPlay refresh. The new generation of CarPlay – now revealed to be CarPlay Ultra – is headed to all your in-car screens, not just the main infotainment panel. That means Apple-styled speedometers, dials, and widgets. The tech giant…
Warrior is the best TV show you haven’t heard of. It’s a period drama set against the backdrop of the Tong Wars in the late nineteenth century, when Chinese gangs fought each other in a variety of American cities, especially San Francisco. Most of the characters, including leading man Ah Sahm (Andrew Koji), are involved in one Tong or another, and much of the drama revolves around the Tongs trying to get one over on each other. So not only is Warrior a crime show, you could argue that it’s a true crime show, even if it’s not documentary-accurate. And…
