About The Bootline

The Bootline is a tech news site for people who want to keep up without reading ten sites a day. It does two things.

Stories that explain

Every day, the Bootline Desk picks the tech stories that matter most, across AI, security, phones, chips, gaming, space, policy and business, and writes them up in plain language. Each story covers what happened, why it matters and, where it's useful, what you should actually do about it, like which update to install or which setting to change.

We build our stories on reporting from other outlets, and we always say so. Every story ends with a Sources list linking to the original reporting, and we encourage you to read it. When outlets disagree, or a company disputes a claim, we say that too.

The Wire

The Wire is a live feed of headlines from 21 tech newsrooms, including The Verge, Ars Technica, TechCrunch, Engadget, Wired, MIT Technology Review, The Register, Tom's Hardware, ZDNET, CNET, BleepingComputer, SecurityWeek, The Record, 9to5Mac, MacRumors, 9to5Google, Android Authority, PC Gamer, Space.com, Electrek, The Next Web. It updates on its own every few minutes, groups headlines from different outlets when they cover the same story, and sorts them into sections. Every headline links straight to the publisher's own site. We don't copy their articles or images.

The Wire is automated: headlines appear as their publishers release them, so their inclusion isn't an endorsement by The Bootline.
