Scary thought... I've been on TPU for so long, I wonder what I would do if it suddenly disappeared. Not sure where I'd see reviews or benchmarks.

Literally my first browser tab for almost 15 years now...I’d be lost if something happened...

Looks like there are a lot of us from [H] as of late! Natural progression I suppose. Thank you everyone for the welcome.

I thought of this. Now assume this is not an April Fool's joke and the news is true. Should Hard OCP continue to review Intel's competitors' products and be fully trusted? Not questioning the man's integrity or promise that the site will continue to run independently, and reviews unaffected, but no doubt that a founder of the site will wield influence (perhaps not actively but passively, reputation wise) on future reviewers/reviewers from the site. I mean, would a reviewer give Intel an easier pass because of (human) bias, however slight that can be? Or, how would one's employer such as Intel, receive the news that the site recommends a competitor's product over Intel (such as the next gen AMD Ryzen CPUs), or NVIDIA's discrete GPU over Intel upcoming GPU? Would there be some "pressure"...?

I think I would still continue to trust the site reviews, but will scrutinize the reviews more deeply.

The site is getting shut down.

Just in the couple days of using the forums here there are several things I noticed off the bat that I absolutely love. First off, you guys have an app.... i've wanted one from [H] for the longest time and never got. Secondly since I like to buy, sell and trade the fact that people's heat is shown right on their profile. I'm a little embarrassed that I never scoped your forums sooner!

The app is outdated, uses a lot of battery

W1z just updated it last month when the old one was outdated and Apple store dropped it because it was outdated.

Typical Apple BS. Just because it hasn't been updated in a while doesn't mean it's useless. However, the website is easier to use anyway. Seriously, how hard is it to use a browser?(not criticizing you rtwjunkie)

Even the android version?

s3thra · Mar 28, 2019

I downloaded the TPU app from the iOS app store just the other day. It's good for bringing up the latest news in condensed form and for the forum if you log in to it (I have my actual browser running in private mode always so logging in to sites is always a second step). But yeah, generally speaking, just using the website is far and away more comprehensive - and mobile optimized anyway.

Yeah thats the reason the app isn't getting much love. Not sure if they shouldn't simply be retired at this point since the site is working perfectly in the browser

At least they appear to be serious.

The android app used way too much battery.
