I am looking for some good tech sites that have longer articles and indepth reviews. Preferably without an obvious biased towards a particular company or brand. edit: I should have clarified what to was looking for. I would like to compile a list of lesser-known but useful websites so that I can stay current on tech news without having to deal with the “fluff” that some of these sites now contain or the never-ending stream of anything remotely technological that you’d receive at the Verge, Ars Technica, etc.

If i may be so bold, I and a few others write about tech at https://theluddite.org/.
I focus on the intersection between technology and human decisions. A lot of tech coverage has a techno-optimist, or tech-as-progress default perspective, where tech is almost this inexorable, inevitable, and apolitical force of nature. I strongly disagree with this perspective, which I think is convenient for the powers that be because it obscures that, right now, a few rich humans are making all our tech decisions.
I also write code for a living, which shockingly few tech writers and commentators have ever done. That makes it possible for me to write stuff like this.
Interesting topics, added to my RSS feed ✅
“Layer the compote to really represent all the states”
Notebookcheck and Phoronix (though mostly Linux news)
Love Linux hence my name.
You expect people to read usernames on here as well as the post??? 🙄🙄 GEEEEEEEZ 😂
Too much? LOL!!
https://lwn.net/ for Linux-related articles.
Many such articles are reposted on HackerNews occasionally: https://news.ycombinator.com/
I’d stay off HackerNews. It’s got a lot of headassery.
Probably. Still, it might be useful for blog discovery. One doesn’t have to read the comments.
They commenters are the best reason to use HN. There are few forums with so many well connected users.
Sure, they’re just typically from the same industry with similar perspectives, similar blind spots and similar affinity for rants on topics X, Y and Z. Some get annoyed by this after a while so ignoring comments is a valid choice if you feel like that.
lol comments are the best part. That’s top one for best comments out in the whole internet
Check out r/NewMaxx by u/NewMaxx on Reddit. That subreddit is focused on SSD news and a great source for it, but the articles linked on the sub are generally good sites for tech news in general.
The Register has broken some good stories.
Also an excuse to read Simon Travaglia’s BOFH https://www.theregister.com/offbeat/bofh/
