Evidence before a verdict
Our editorial policy is to distinguish research-based reporting from hands-on evaluation. A “tested” label requires actual supporting evidence. We identify affected versions and cite relevant sources where practical.
Corrections and updates
Material changes should be explained in the article. A last-verified date records a real check of the information or steps; changing punctuation does not count as re-verification.
Commercial relationships
Articles containing affiliate links must disclose that relationship. Sponsored links must be identifiable. Commissions do not replace evidence or justify unsupported recommendations.
Technical safety
Troubleshooting guides should start with safer, reversible steps, explain expected results, and place warnings before actions that can remove data or change system access.
