[–] Murdeth@lemmy.world 52 points 2 years ago (4 children) How can I find more of these kind of sites? permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] 3laws@lemmy.world 35 points 2 years ago Honestly, right here, that's the beauty upside of the fediverse, we are slightly bigger than the general internet bubble and that's enough to watch content not bound by it, Iyk what I mean. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 22 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) As far as I know, rtings.com is a decent one for tech products. It at least tells you what tests it does, has the results and doesn't seem to be cobbled together by an LLM from press releases. Edit: There is also Which? magazine which is pay for and is kept alive entirely by 70 year old men like my dad who have never got round to cancelling it despite not really reading it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Solemn@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 2 years ago (1 child) Wirecutter used to be good, but they've pretty much entirely sold out to whoever pays them I think. The Spruce Eats seems maybe slightly better than them these days for that sorta household stuff? TechGearLab and OutdoorGearLab are still good. Project Farm on YouTube is top tier testing for tools and whatever else catches his eye, though I wish it was a little easier to see the results in a spreadsheet instead of having to screenshot the video. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] maniajack@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago I still think Wirecutter is testing and better than the fake review sites but yeah I'd agree that I think they tip the scales from time to time. One example, Fitbit has been their fitness watch recommendation forever and their charge watches have been ewaste garbage for years. permalink fedilink source parent [–] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch -5 points 2 years ago Google it. scnr permalink fedilink source parent
