Not a news outlet, but I personally like watching Linus Media Group's Techlinked on YouTube for general tech news. It's more of an aggregate/summary of what's going on but I find them to be great meal time videos at the very least.
There’s so many tech communities on lemmy. Just search for what you want using the search
Also since you’re new [email protected]
For games and gaming-related hardware, I stick with Rock Paper Shotgun as my primary source, even after they recently laid off Alice Bell. 🥹
Most of my other tech news I get from the german site heise.
I really like The Verge. They have a few minor stumbles now and then and focuses a lot on pop tech but they got an incredible team and actually do care about the tech landscape.
They also publish several podcasts that are worth a listen. In particular I really like the Decoder with Nilay Patel (editor in chief) as he often has the balls to pushback a bit which is so rare in tech coverage. Recently he interviewed the founder of Replika - AI "friend" service founder - and I really enjoyed his pushbacks that really showed how little these founders care about AI itself and have no clear understanding other than $$$ it seems.
