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.

      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.

        Yeah, the broken Internet is just so much dumber than people think. Welcome aboard!
