Our goal is to explain technology clearly, review products honestly, and give readers guides that actually work. This policy explains how we create, test, and update our content.
How we report news
- We rely on official announcements, company documentation, and reputable reporting.
- We separate confirmed facts from rumours and leaks, and label speculation clearly.
- We link to original sources wherever possible.
How we review products
- Hands-on where possible. We aim to use products ourselves before reviewing them. When a review is based on research rather than hands-on testing, we say so.
- Real-world use. We focus on everyday performance, battery life, ease of use, and value, not just specifications.
- Pros and cons. Every review lists strengths and weaknesses.
- Independence. Brands may send review units, but they do not see reviews before publication and cannot pay for a positive verdict. We disclose when a product was provided by the manufacturer.
How we write how-to guides
- We test steps on the devices and software versions we mention.
- We note the version and date tested, because updates can change menus and features.
- We warn readers about risks, such as data loss, and recommend backups before major changes.
- We do not publish guides on piracy, bypassing security, or anything illegal.
Affiliate links and sponsorship
Some articles contain affiliate links. If you buy through them, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This never affects our verdicts. Sponsored content is always clearly labelled.
Updates and corrections
Tech changes quickly. We update popular guides and reviews when products, prices, or software change. If you spot an error, email writerethanwilson@gmail.com. We correct confirmed errors promptly and note significant corrections in the article.
Use of AI
We may use AI tools to help with research, outlines, or editing. Every article is reviewed, fact-checked, and approved by a human editor, and hands-on claims are based on real testing, never generated.
Free tools
Our browser-based tools use standard formulas and calculations. Results are estimates. For example, actual download times depend on network conditions.
