Romance movies are uniquely good at telling truly human stories that I find particularly easy to relate to. It’s like crying over the death of a fictional child in a movie because you have kids of your own. In other words, you have an easier time empathizing with these characters, their struggles, and the mushy love shared between them. It’s why I often find romance movies, whether down-to-earth or in one of the best K-dramas, so compelling. However, there are some that are so touching, they bring me to my knees, where I then weep for their reunion. You have…
In this interview, Stuff meets James Vyse, the Welsh man who has managed to beat the world’s biggest drink brands to the seemingly impossible: a self-cooling can and he did so from his bedroom, not a high-tech lab… Cool Can is the world’s first true self-chilling beverage can and now James says he has all the corporate giants are knocking on his door, with interest from Coca-Cola, Suntory America, Carlsberg and M&S – not bad for someone who didn’t finish school! Cool Can came from my frustration with drinks going warm. My background is in drinks, and one of the issues I had was that I didn’t like the way canned drinks go warm when you’re on…
A great dive watch is more than just a timekeeper – it’s a symbol of adventure, ambition, and precision engineering. Built to handle extreme underwater conditions, they feature high water resistance, luminous dials, and unidirectional rotating bezels. Once tools for professionals, they’re now everyday icons, valued as much for their rugged charm as their functionality. Today’s dive watches span the spectrum. Luxury models boast deep-sea capabilities and flawless craftsmanship, while more affordable options still meet professional standards with solid water resistance and dependable automatic movements. Whether you’re a diver, an outdoor adventurer, or simply someone who loves a well-built timepiece,…
The wait is over, and the rumor mill can stop: the world’s leading music streaming service finally has high fidelity, lossless audio. It’s only taken eight years, countless “almost ready” moments, and heaps of users leaving for other hi-res streaming services. I’m quite excited that this is really here. I’m also pleasantly surprised that Spotify is adding the new high-quality streaming tier to its existing Premium offering, with many expecting the new tier to be a new subscription entirely. Of course, that could change in the future, but for now, all Spotify Premium users can try the 24-bit/44.1kHz FLAC audio.…
The default Google TV interface feels slick and modern at first glance. You get rows of recommendations, trending shows, and colorful banners clearly designed to help you discover new content. The problem is, these suggestions often don’t feel personal. Much of the screen is dominated by ads for shows you never asked to see or, worse, services you don’t even subscribe to. It feels less like your TV and more like a billboard you happen to own. That’s exactly why I switched to Projectivity Launcher, and honestly, I don’t see myself going back. It wipes out the ads, speeds up…
I’m a sucker for nostalgia, which means I find myself rewatching a lot of shows and movies I enjoyed as a younger man. Don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of brilliant releases still coming out, but sometimes you just want to get lost in childhood bliss. I find this is especially true of television. We may be in the midst of yet another golden age of television, but I find I miss the aesthetic and charm of older shows. But how much of that is actually nostalgia, and how much of it is actually down to some measurable…
Apple swears blind iPadOS and macOS aren’t one day going to merge. We’re not fooled. This year, the operating systems that power your iPads and Macs are more similar than ever.

Before sadness ensues, check out our features on iPadOS 26 system requirements and macOS 26 system requirements.…
Lossless audio has finally arrived on Spotify Premium – read our full story for more. Rumours of a higher tier Spotify subscription aimed at higher quality speakers or headphones have circled for years. The company first announced it was working on a new tier offering CD-quality music using a lossless compression format all the way back in February 2021. The high-quality streams would, the company said, be “rolling out in select markets” later that year. We even got a Billie Eilish featuring ad and everything. But since then, nothing official has happened. Yep, that’s over four years we’ve been waiting.…
Hulu is a terrific streaming platform, but it remains less popular than services such as Netflix, HBO Max, and its sister service, Disney+. The platform maintains an underdog status despite providing an extensive range of appealing content to its users. If you’re in the mood for something new, you could try some classic shows on Netflix or some hidden gems on Apple+. You could also skip both and consider Hulu instead. Hulu provides you with an extensive collection of original content that suits different viewer preferences. Hulu’s content collection includes multiple award-winning comedies and dramatic series, many of which remain…
I’ve been a tech journalist for over a decade, and in that time I’ve reviewed more phones, tablets, smartwatches and earbuds than I can count. It’s been fun, but if I’m honest, the last few years have felt like a lull. Phones were getting minor spec bumps. Smarthome tech was getting cheaper. Battery life improved a little each year. Useful, sure, but hardly thrilling. As someone who grew up in the 90s and early 2000s, my bar for “exciting tech” is probably a little skewed. I was raised on Spy Kids, Pierce Brosnan’s gadget-loaded James Bond, and even Robin Williams…
