Gents,

I'm really fucking tired of limp wristed male feminists (because you know in this line of work they are almost all craft beer sipping, vegan, ally, Mac fanboys) when I try to follow one of my life's passions: technology.

I built my first computer at an early age and love staying up to date on the cutting edge of cool shit people are doing. But as probably comes with the territory, these guys waste no time in injecting their agenda to what should be objective news about specs and shit. E.g.:

I'm wondering if there's any other people out there that have found a site not even necessarily redpill about technology, but just sticks to reporting tech for the love of God.

Ars Technica is pretty decent, they tend keep the politics pretty low key. If you're looking for hardware reviews or buying guides the three best I've found are HardOCP, TechPowerup, and Anandtech. I don't think I've ever seen politics injected into any of the articles I've ever read there. Hope that helps.

Seems to me like there's some overlap between the "SJWs" and the "geek subculture" (ex. technology, video games, fantasy, sci-fi, comic books, etc).

Might be because both somewhat associate themselves with "social outcasts".

Good tech blog on the state of the Internet, run by a guy with libertarian leanings. Takes political lackeys to task for being in the pockets of big telecommunications companies.

I like Ars, but I cannot read comments because it is full of SJW minded losers.

Ultimately IT people that write articles for a living by and large are extremely blue pill, passive aggressive, socially weak, and extremely PC. Read what you need and look past the rest. It's about all you can do really even if you are surrounded by IT guys that actually engineer, design, etc. that have foreign wives, hunt and fish, collect guns, or live more traditional lifestyles. When you really think about it, it is not much different than many other spaces.

I like Tom's Hardware as well. Haven't really noticed a SJW influence there. They just mostly talk about mobos, GPU's, etc.

Depends what you are looking for. Straight up tech review/preview sites are all info no fluff or political BS pandering. I am not as into PC's and gaming as I used to be, but I use to read this site religiously:

Still have an account in the forum too under the same handle. Good times.

Yeah, not to stereotype but unfortunately I can see why tech jobs would appeal to beta, pussy wipped, blue pill bozos, since it allows guys who are too out of shape or motivated even to leave their desks long enough to take a shower a way to earn a decent salary - something which wouldn't have even existed just 50 years ago.

Leaving white knighting for strange women on the internet, the only outlet they have to feel like a "man", not counting any possible masturbatory fantasies involving their female World of Warcraft character.

Yeah. Another great one I thought about is from the UK. I like the commenters here. Lots of clever talking and because you can post anon, guys from various big companies will drop interesting gossip about stuff... They do not update super aggressive like the others, but they even talk about storage systems or the latest big boy toys in IT enterprise if that kind of thing interests you.

Aggregator for a bunch of tech minded articles. I'd say the predominant demographic is programming, but there is plenty of interesting content linked on there. The comments tend to be high quality and pertaining to the articles, with some comments actually having citations.

slashdot.org is a favorite of mine.

Their articles are actually short summaries of other articles. The gold gem of the group is the comments section. I've been posting since 2002, but I changed my account recently because I foolishly used my name.

Their comments are all over their place. There's a healthy amount of libtards, but they're balanced out by moderates, conservatives, libertarians, and pretty much everyone else under the sun.

Occasionally they will throw out some stupid "Women get paid 75 cents on the dollar in tech jobs" summary. It touches my heart when the comments rip apart the author. They were astounding pro-gamergate too even in the face of the news establishment saying otherwise.

YouTube channels rather than a blog, but Eli the Computer Guy, and Eli the Computer Guy Live are excellent YouTube channels for no nonsense tech advice.

The only other tech YouTube channels that I subscribe to are Linus Tech Tips, and The Technology Nerd. The latter having some really good mobile phone reviews.

I subscribe to Slashdots email list, so get the highlights of the most popular stories on the site. The comments used to be the best part of the site, but the quality has gone down hill significantly since I first subscribed back in ~2008.
