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.
Great article on Google Adsense :) I accidentally clicked on one of the ads. Enjoy the extra penny.
Haha thank you. I’ve generally found that Google decides most of the ad clicks that come from my site are “invalid,” so it’ll pay me and then take it back 🙃. 90% or so of my ad revenue has been reversed within a day or two. We’re talking like 12 USD so it’s not like I’m losing a fortune, but still!
Crazy. And their algorithm for that is probably also not transparent.
Jesus Christ, that is as hilarious as it is painful. You’d think they look at their own click-through stats for a site and realise that it’s popular enough, but you’d be wrong.
Anyway, you earned yourself a bookmark.
Yes, exactly. I don’t understand their need for content on a site. Shouldn’t it be enough from their point of view to have a as most sites as possible integrating their ads? Why bother about the content?
Here’s some that I follow:
- Anandtech[1]: Great general tech website, has some deep dives. It did used to be a lot better
- Chips and Cheese[2]: Insane deep dives into architectures and chips.
- More than Moore[3]: Ex Anandtech editor in chief, does great breakdowns of new AI tech and silicon.
- igor’s Lab[4]: Does some great deep dives into various GPU and CPU issues.
- KGOnTech[5]: Only just followed this blog, seems to do a good teardown on the apple headset.
- Krebs on Security[6]: Blog by one of the best security researchers and breaks down vulnerabilities
- EE Times[7]: Good well written site with overviews on many areas in tech
- Techspot Featured Articles[8]: Mainly gaming and GPU/CPU, but does some good articles exploring games, tech etc
