How we pick news
- It has to change something for a household. Prices, orders opening, coverage, a dated launch or an FCC decision. Partnerships abroad, earnings notes and routine launches become dated rows in the tracker instead.
- The event date comes first. Every post opens with when it happened, then cites Amazon, the FCC or the launch company, with the date we read each source. A post written more than two weeks after its event is marked Background: it explains an earlier event and keeps the day it was written as its publication date.
- Unconfirmed stays labeled. Press reports are marked reported, and anything Amazon hasn't published reads "not announced". We never guess a Leo price or date.
- No paid links in news. News pages carry no links that earn us anything. See how we make money and the editorial policy.
