Man, AnandTech came from the earlier type of Internet, where independent media outlets were fully in control of their own presence on the web. (E.g. they were not a YouTube channel.) Even though they weren't still independent for a while now (purchased by a publishing company in 2014), I'm sad to see one of the originals go.

I quite enjoyed reading their in-depth tech coverage. Especially, in the early days when theyvcovered smartphones. There won't be a 2nd anandtech in history for a long time to come.

They should release their articles as a torrent to conserve the long history of anandtech.

This is tragic. I can't think of how many computers I built using incomparable Anandtech articles. The depth of the testing, and careful, scientific planning really has no match in tech journalism.

The high water mark just lowered.
