[6] The site went through an ownership change and major redesign in the middle of 2019 after which the site's focus and content went through significant changes, no longer specializing in hardware or producing any system guides or podcasts and no longer being focused on computer technology.

[6][9] Tech Report was founded by Scott Wasson, a Harvard Divinity School graduate, and Andy Brown.

It offered a completely new layout and two user-switchable colors, blue and white, along with a reduced mobile device format.

On December 2, 2015, Scott Wasson, the founder and Editor-In-Chief stepped down as he accepted a role in AMD's graphics division.

[11][12] Wasson subsequently sold the company in March 2018 to Adam Eiberger, the Tech Report's business manager.

On July 7, 2019, coinciding with the release of AMD's Ryzen 3 CPUs and Navi GPUs, a site redesign was launched, moving from the Tech Report's former custom CMS and functionality to a WordPress template.

In addition, Techreport now maintains editorial independence, which means that coverage and product recommendations are the result of testing, and represent the views of author at the time of publication.

While the site still uses an affiliate marketing model to fund the cost of publishing, earnings from vendors do not dictate the team's views on any products or services.

[7][17] TechReport was one of the first sites in 2007 to document and benchmark the flaw in the translation lookaside buffer (TLB) of AMD Phenom CPUs.

[6] Adapting to the general trend of more content for digest, The Tech Report launched its podcast on February 9, 2008, hosted by Jordan Drake.

While the schedule has varied it provides a casual but quite in-depth look back at the topics that made news from a panel of the site staff.

Tech Report has a phpBB-styled forum that is unrestricted in read-only form and open to the public for contribution via simple registration.
