So I want to make this thread for anything that is good, but isn't noticed by majority of the internet.
For example VIA technologies(https://www.viatech.com/en/) is the largest micro architecture manufacturer and most modern Processoring units has chips from them, like motherboard chips, computing arm chips for micro controllers and they actually have their own CPUs which could make concurence to Intel(RIP) and AMD.
Also there is Palit Microsystems(http://www.palit.com/palit/index.php?lang=en) and they are world's biggest GPU maker, their top tier cards compete with Asus and they have highest clockspeeds and their lower end GPUs are good for everybody and they are quite good quality.
There are a lot of companies and products unnoticed and I'd like to find out what are your finds about things that are underrated.

Why invest in all these fancy shmancy fish tank liquid cool bs when youre not looking at the inside in the first place? |

Liquid cooling is overrated I have idle system temperatures of 20-28c with air cooling and I don't have anything fancy, ok under full load I have 65c, but is that much for what I've got? With liquid cooling I'd get 45c on full load |

With liquid cooling I'd get 45c on full load I do have liquid-cooling on my new PC and any overheat problems have ceased. It previously used to overheat and turn off/crash pretty frequently. Now it doesn't. That's a noticeable difference, for me at least. |

I have two things to add to this list, and both deal with the issue of privacy, or lackthereof, on the internet.
1. The search engine DuckDuckGo. Despite the silly name, this search engine is a great tool. They don't track any personal information like other search engines, and I have found it just as effective as Google.
2. On a similar note, to replace using Gmail, I switched to Protonmail, a secure email that encrypts your emails.
I fully support both of these privacy focused tools!
