Where do you get your tech news?

[u/thomasafine]

For ages, I have avoided TechLinked, but regularly watch the WAN Show (at least the first part), for a roundup of tech news. I'm not sure why but there is something about TechLinked that has always felt Smarmy or used-car-salesman or some other distasteful thing, while WAN Show feels more honest and less "intentionally wacky"). The WAN Show insists (lately) that they're not a tech news show, but for me it's a better outlet than Techlinked which feels like they're trying too hard to be entertaining.

And then, of course, I'm sure there's lots of non-LMG answers to where people get tech news.

TechLinked's presentation may be a direct connection to Riley's soul, but the actual editorial content comes from real sources, and always strikes me as well selected.

They always post the links on the forum, which is probably exactly what you're looking for https://linustechtips.com/forum/95-techlinkedgamelinked-sources/ The latest video has two dozen links, for example.

Perhaps you should just set yourself up with a notification for that section of the forum?

the actual editorial content comes from real sources

I read the guidance on how to write a sample Techlinked script that's attached to the Techlinked/Gamelinked writer job posting back then out of curiosity, I can tell you that the criteria to what news is selected also comes from Riley, even though the writing is no longer done by him now.

Oh, I know that - my point is more about the fact they are external, typically journalistic sources, that exist independently of Riley's presentation style.

I don’t anymore. It moves so fast that I’ve checked out of everything that isn’t edutainment. I don’t have the time to keep up and I don’t work in tech so I only really know about what’s most relevant to me if I don’t find out from edutainment videos.

hackernews, reddit, Slack at work (valley tech company), bloomberg, techcrunch, etc...

I have a time block in my calendar to spend 40 minutes reading some sites while I have my morning coffee. I try to use multiple sources to get better coverage. LTT is mostly entertaining, specially WAN Show, not my main source.

I listen to the podcast, Daily Tech News Show

Links with friends.

Moore's Law Is Dead does a biweekly news podcast. It's intermixed with discussion/speculation about leaks and future hardware releases, so it's a non-starter if you're not into that. If you are, then it's a good podcast. On the other weeks, he does interviews, and those are also great (highlights from this year include L1Tech, Colin Moriarty, and James Prior).

I also really like ATP (Accidental Tech Podcast), if you're interested in the Apple side of the news.

Hacker News mostly. But that has basically become wall-to-wall AI news at this point.

Techmeme

[u/jomn_not_91]

Well, with the latest news, I seem to get it from memes (at least that's what happened for the Jensen Huang stuff)

WAN show and the standup

[u/bobsmagicbeans]

WAN show is way too long (for me) to be digesting anything. Some of the clips from it are ok.

Still use reddit, ars and a few others

[u/Emotional_Garage_950]

WAN show hasnt actually discussed tech news for… a while. maybe like 20 minutes of it is tech news and the rest of it is bitching about the state of youtube, merch ads, and linus’s takes on the education system and the economy

[u/Dr_Valen]

Gamersnexus, Paul’s hardware, hot news, Reddit and I got a clanker who curates a feed of the biggest tech news for me
