Our rules
- We recommend few things, and only things worth buying.
- Affiliate links are always marked.
- We never say we tested something unless we did.
- Prices, specs, and guides carry the date we checked them.
- We cite sources, and we say what we do not know.
- Anything with mains power, batteries, vehicles, or drones gets a safety box.
