TPU really has settled into my "goto" website since HardOCP went away. I check it a dozen times a day now out of pure blind habit.

biffzinker · Dec 24, 2020

TPU is my go to as well since The Tech Report went in a different direction.

Here's to the yearly spike in domestic violence, which is made worse by covid!

I know 2020 sucks but do you think this is really the place to post something like that?

We should try to remain positive and hope for a better future.

Merry Christmas everybody.

Ours is Jan 6 to 7 but Merry Christmas nevertheless to those who are celebrating this week

Lovely poll btw

Merry Christmas everyone!!!!

Long live TechPowerUp! My favorite source of news for computer hardware. Would be my only source of news if there was server/network/security news too

.

@Raevenlord you forgot a "yes" option for the poll. :laugh:

MikeGR7 · Dec 24, 2020

l love you TechPowerUp!

Nr. 1 tech site on WWW!!

Keep up the good work!

Searing · Dec 24, 2020

Merry Christmas! I'm very happy that TechPowerup has kept politics off of the editorial and review page, it is one of the few tech websites left (Engadget, Kotaku, TheVerge, those are not tech websites, just Anandtech is left also). It has been a nice refuge. Cheers

What countries are voting right now, out of curiousity?

Agree all the same, but just in case, remember to keep these sort of comments politically neutral. Voting is good, we can all agree.

Merry Christmas to you all at TPU (all those behind it) and to all readers/posters, etc. Hope next year is better than this one that should be erased from existence. Also take care you all.
