I'm a computer guy, 90% of the things I'm gonna wanna see reviews for are ABSOLUTELY things where older means worse. A review of a year+ old cpu, for example, is absolutely meaningless to me, I wanna see how good the bleeding edge stuff performs.

I'm a "computer guy" as well and I don't nearly have the need for all he bleeding edge stuff. Especially for server, budget/used options, homelabs and open source software (where the drivers aren't optimized yet), older hardware is way enough for the job.

Sure, but I don't need reviews for that stuff. I would've already seen those when they were actually, y'know, new.

The bleeding edge stuff isn't stuff I personally need nor can afford. I just like learning about the newest and greatest tech.

Good for you. Not everyone is as close to the bleeding edge as you, tho.
