Corrections

Every change we make to a published guide, other than fixing a typo or a broken bit of formatting, gets recorded here with the date and what changed. If you think something on this site is wrong, tell us. Corrections are made on the page itself and listed below.

This log starts the day the site launched, August 13, 2026.

Dash Cams: How to Choose One and Where to Mount It

Retitled and refocused. The guide previously presented itself as covering state law while its table read only six state statutes. Six states cannot answer a question about all fifty, so the state section now says outright that it is a set of worked examples chosen to show how these laws are written, and the title no longer implies national coverage. No statute quotation changed.

Hidden Camera Detection

Rewrote the caption under the base-rate figure. It repeated the sentence already printed inside the graphic instead of explaining what the two numbers each measure.

Six guides: language implying hands-on testing

Six articles used phrases like “our testing” and “our teardowns” when signing off. We do not hands-on test products, and our editorial standards have always said so, but those phrases implied otherwise on the page itself. All six now say research. Affected: Apeman dash cams, best robot dogs, best personal assistant robots, hidden camera detection, robot dogs compared, and robot vacuum privacy. Every article now carries a line under its byline stating how it was researched.

Robot Dogs Compared

Removed a claim about a 12 degrees of freedom threshold for stair climbing, and the source behind it. The site we had cited stopped serving its content and no archived copy exists anywhere, so a reader cannot check it. Rather than keep an unverifiable citation, we cut the claim. The tiering in that section now rests on the manufacturer specification pages already cited beneath it.

Home Security Camera Laws and the WiFi robot hacking story

Three source links stopped resolving: the New Hampshire General Court’s copy of RSA 570-A:2, and two posts on Petter Reinholdtsen’s blog. All three now point at Internet Archive captures, noted as such, so the quoted material stays checkable. No quoted text changed.

Bug Detectors Explained

Changed a section heading that asked what bench testing found without saying whose. The bench test is Kenneth Wyatt’s, published at Test and Measurement Tips, and the heading now credits him.

How we handle corrections

A factual error gets fixed on the page and logged here on the day we fix it. If the correction changes what a guide recommends, we say so in the entry. We do not quietly edit a claim and leave the page looking like it always said that. Typos, dead formatting, and routine price or stock refreshes are not logged, because nothing a reader relied on has changed.
