I’m not really a big fan of national or world news. It makes me sad and angry to a degree that I don’t think staying informed in worth. I would be happy to share my favorite sources of news for tech though.
The Hacker News
Not to be confused with “Hacker News” (by Y Combinator), The Hacker News provides countless articles on all the latest goings on in the cyber security world. They’ll tell you all about the latest hacks and malware, and well as any potentially disruptive events or inventions. It’s really good to pay attention to if you want to be very scared of computers.
Techquickie
https://www.youtube.com/@techquickie
Techquickie is a Youtube channel that gives a high-level overview of all the current affairs in tech. They talk about hardware releases, high profile hacks, operating system updates, and just about everything else. They are a part of the Linus Media Group, which has been known to have some issues with information integrity in the past. But Techquickie is so broad and surface level that they don’t get many opportunities to get things wrong.
Gamers Nexus
https://www.youtube.com/@GamersNexus/
Gamers Nexus is another Youtube channel. They are particularly focused on testing the latest hardware to determine how well it performs with gaming. They are particularly good at catching when companies like Nvidia and Intel are lying about their hardware specs (and when other tech channels/sites are too). They are a good channel to watch if you’re in the market to buy or upgrade your pc and want to make sure you’re getting the best bang for your buck.
The Stack Overflow Blog
This is more of an ironic inclusion. Every programmer worth their salt will swear by the Stack Overflow forums until the day they die, so it’s ironic how the company that runs those forums consistently has some of the worst opinions in all of programming. Normally their blog posts are pretty bland and tame, but every once in a while, they post some whacky sh*t and it’s fun to watch the dumpster fire when that happens.
The Primeagen
https://www.twitch.tv/theprimeagen
The Primeagen is a Twitch streamer and former Netflix engineer. He’s technically more of a reaction channel than a news site since he often reacts to and talk abouts articles from other sites. I’m including him though because his experience in the industry gives him a level of insight that significantly adds to the overall experience. He likes to cover the latest developments in programming languages, software products, and programming architecture. He also often hosts guests from all around the programming industry to share their insights too.
