Fixes and Follow-Ups

Technology articles age faster than most. A menu gets renamed, a setting moves, a feature disappears in an update. Add the ordinary human errors every publication makes, and corrections become part of the job rather than an embarrassment. This page sets out what we promise to do when something we published is wrong.

What we treat as a correction

• Factual errors - a wrong name, a wrong menu path, a claim that is simply not true.
• Outdated instructions - steps that were right when written but no longer match current software or devices.
• Misleading wording - sentences that are technically accurate but likely to send readers in the wrong direction.
• Missing cautions - a guide that should have warned about a risk to data, devices or safety and did not.

Spelling slips and broken links are fixed too, though we do not usually mark them.

Our promises

1. We read every report. Each message about an error is logged against the article it concerns.
2. We check before changing. The writer who covers that area tests the claim against the device, the official documentation or the settings themselves.
3. We fix promptly. Safety-related problems come first; anything that could damage hardware, lose data or put someone at risk is changed as soon as it is confirmed.
4. We are open about it. When a change affects the substance of an article, the updated date moves and, where it helps readers, a short note explains what changed.
5. We reply. If you gave us an email address, you will hear what we did, or why we left the text as it was.

What we do not do

We do not quietly rewrite an article to hide that it was wrong, and we do not remove a correction note once it has been added. If a whole piece no longer holds up, we would rather rework it properly than leave a patched version that misleads.

Guides we watch most closely

Step-by-step pieces depend on menus that change, so we revisit them regularly. Examples include How to Update Drivers on Windows Safely and How to Transfer Photos From iPhone to Computer. If you follow one of these and find a step has moved, you are exactly the reader we hope to hear from.

How to report something

Email contact@pc-dtv.com or use the form on the Get in Touch page. The most useful reports include the article link, the sentence or step you think is wrong, the device or software version you are using and, if you have one, where you found the correct information. Our broader approach to accuracy is described on Why This Bench Exists.
