Tech Review/News Site Recommendations Thread - Most all tech review/news sources welcome.

[BONE_Buddy]

It occurs to me that Tech journalism is like most journalism, mostly crap with a few hidden diamonds in the rough.

Far too few people (including me) know about the good stuff.

So, starting with my very limited knowledge on PC technology

Hardware Canucks:

https://hardwarecanucks.com/

They do mostly hardware, and their reviews don't seem to be shit.

Overclocker's club:

Hardware reviews, Overclocking, Tech News and Enthusiast Community Homepage

Used to do a lot of well... overclocking and hardware testing. Though it looks like they have shifted away from that and into gaming.

AnandTech:

AnandTech: Hardware News and Tech Reviews Since 1997

News and reviews of PC components, smartphones, tablets, pre-built desktops, notebooks, Macs and enterprise/cloud computing technologies.

www.anandtech.com

Lots of industry announcements, some reviews. They seem to pick up on leaks quickly.

HEXUS.NET

HEXUS.net - Definitive Technology News and Reviews

HEXUS a leading site for independent coverage of hardware, gaming, consumer and business technology news and reviews.

More industry announcement stuff, some gaming, some mobile. I think AnanTech is better.

I look forward to being blown out of the water with excellent suggestions while simultaneously being heckled for being a tech-illiterate Boomer.

I think I will occasionally come back through and amend the OP with your undoubtedly brilliant recommendations.

Much as I am loathe to use all of their other products, Sophos Labs does have a pretty good track record of write-ups and whitepapers of zero-day exploits I like to stay on top of.

I disagree about Hardware Canucks. When the 5700XT came out, they tried really hard to justify the 2070's existence, which boiled down to ray-tracing. A feature that costs too much on performance for more accurate reflection, what a deal.

 

[Sam Losco]

Phoronix for Linux stuff
https://www.phoronix.com/

Serve the Home (STH) is pretty good
https://www.servethehome.com/

And I check out Tom's Hardware some.

[CrunkLord420]

I like Phoronix and Bleeping Computer.

 

[CreamyHerman’s]

I didn't see Gamers Nexus, so I recommend that.

Hardware Unboxed is pretty good too.

I do enjoy some Tech Yes City too.

 

[a_lurker]

Gamersnexus, phoronix, level1techs.

rip in pepperoni HardOCP

 

[Smaug's Smokey Hole]

I didn't see Gamers Nexus, so I recommend that.

They're good, here's a link to the YT channel.

Gamers Nexus

PC hardware reviews, game benchmarks, component analysis. www.GamersNexus.net Please subscribe for updates!

www.youtube.com

They also have a site with write-ups to complement the videos and that's where all the graphs and charts can be found if someone would like to take a closer look.


A channel that isn't news but still interesting is Budget Builds.

YouTube

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Instead of testing the latest, greatest and most expensive hardware the guy running it does videos on how old hardware performs today and how cheap you can make a gaming PC and get away with it using second hand parts from eBay. It might not be for everyone but I find it interesting to see how a $500 card that can be bought for $10 today performs in modern games, same with CPUs and the like.

F2F tech is really good too with that

OSReviews doesn't flare up their product overviews or hype up basic stuff as anything other than a utility, so if you need a zero-frills product review for everything down to earth and affordable I'd recommend.
