How we write

  • Every article is written for this site. We do not translate, rewrite or paraphrase other publishers’ articles.
  • Each article includes at least one “Verified by us” note: something we checked ourselves, with its source and the date we checked it.
  • We do not claim product tests we did not run, and we do not invent figures.
  • Publish dates are real. The “Updated” date changes only when the article changes in substance.
