Unfortunately Ars Technica is not even a shadow of the site it once was. It now reprints press releases and rumors like so many other tech sites.

- Macuyiko 10y agoNoticed this as well... Pity, cause I loved reading Ars back in the day. Do you know of any solid alternatives?
- awqrre 10y agoArs Technica used to be very bad... I thought that it was getting better in the last year or two but I guess that I was wrong.
- ebbv 10y agoWhen I refer to how it used to be I'm talking like 10+ years ago. It used to be one of the best tech sites bar none.
- binarycrusader 10y agoI'm not sure how you can make those claims; if anything, they've been even more active in reviewing hardware, etc. since they actually have better corporate sponsorship. The only thing I do miss are the articles written by Jon Stokes: https://arstechnica.com/author/hannibal/ https://arstechnica.com/author/hannibal/ But all things change, and the heady era of technological advances that we saw in the 90s and early 2000s are long gone, at least in the desktop and server computer world. Electronics has now become mainstream-consumer oriented and the sites reflect that interest, since after all, they only exist due to advertising funds.
