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.
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
Ars Technica
Ars Technica has to be some of the most reputable high quality reporting in tech. I got hooked way back when they’d publish twenty plus page reviews covering operating systems.
