About Device Basics
Our editorial approach to phone and computer help.
Device Basics explains phone and computer tasks in a safe order, with backup and recovery checks before destructive steps.
What belongs here
Our remit is plain-language phone and computer setup, backup and troubleshooting. Every article should answer a concrete question, identify the important tradeoffs and link changing facts to a source readers can inspect.
How we work
We publish under an organizational editorial byline. We do not invent firsthand experience, individual reporters or professional credentials. Where a fact can change, we attach a date or source. Where the evidence is incomplete, we say so.
Corrections and contact
Send corrections to editor@devicebasics.com with the page address, the detail to check and a source where possible. We review the underlying claim rather than silently copying a replacement.
Illustration production notes are recorded separately.
