The real gold is XDA's forums, where users and developers talk about rooting and hacking their devices. In contrast the articles on the front page are low on content, like this article on Surface Pro 9 rumors one day after the release of the Surface Pro 8 [1].

I used to spend a lot of time in the forums back when android was new and I was flashing custom ROMs every other day. I haven't felt the need to do that in years though. I remember the front page having more substantive content though.

its still good but it depends how mainstream your purchases are and how much free time you have. if you buy chinese smartphones, tablets and wearables you can find a lot of people there with the same devices trying to hack them.
