Sadly these "deep dives" feels more and more shallow these days. More and more they are about "look and feel" or pixel counting rather than the meat and potatoes.

Frankly these days Ars Technica could just as well be relabeled Apple Technica. The site scuttled their coverage of FOSS and similar under prominent sections, while the Apple stuff keep leaking out from their "infinite loop" section.

These days if it is not Apple related, it gets binned under their generic "gadgets" section.

And this from the site that got me interested in Linux in the first place back when it was black and orange, and housed a multipage introduction to Linux internals.
