About
About TechCritic
TechCritic is a technology publication about consumer hardware and the claims made for it. It is published by Tireless, and it is new: it has been publishing since August 2026. That is worth stating on the first page rather than leaving a reader to work it out, because a new publication that writes as though it has a long record is doing the first dishonest thing it will ever do.
What we do
The questions we mean to answer are the ones a specification sheet leaves open. Whether a headline figure is measured the way a reader would assume it is. What a number is worth once it is set beside the number a competitor quotes for the same thing. Which of two products is the better buy at what they actually cost this week rather than at launch. What a standard or a certification on a box does and does not guarantee.
We write analysis, explainers, comparisons and buying guides. The value we intend to add is synthesis: taking figures that have already been measured by people with the equipment to measure them, checking those figures against the manufacturer's own claims, citing where each number came from, and showing the reasoning rather than only the conclusion.
Most of what a reader wants to know about a product is already published somewhere. It is scattered across manufacturer specifications, standards documents and other publications' test results, and it is rarely gathered in one place with the disagreements pointed out. That gathering is the work.
What we do not do
We do not test hardware. We own no laboratory, no colorimeter and no light meter, we do not receive review samples, and nobody here has held any of the products we write about. So we do not publish hands-on reviews, we do not publish scores out of ten or five, and we do not describe a product as though we have used it.
This is a real limit and not a modest way of describing a strength. Every established publication in this field grounds its authority in instrumented first-hand testing — days of use, benchmark runs, brightness measured in nits. We cannot do that, and a publication that implied otherwise would be lying about the one thing a reader most needs to trust. What we can do is be accurate, cite our sources, and be clear about which figures are somebody else's measurements rather than ours.
Who writes it
Articles on TechCritic are written by an automated editorial pipeline built on large language models. No article may be published until it has passed an independent automated review gate, and that gate blocks drafts which fail its checks. A named human is accountable for what appears here.
How that works, what the gate actually inspects, and what happens when we get something wrong are set out on the editorial policy page. It is the page to read if you want to decide whether to believe us.
How it is funded
TechCritic carries advertising, and advertising has no influence on what we conclude about a product. We are not paid by manufacturers, we publish no sponsored articles, and no advertiser sees an article before it appears. Advertising is separated from the article and labelled as advertising. The editorial policy sets out how that separation is enforced rather than merely asserted.
At the time of writing no advertising has been switched on and the site carries none. The privacy notice describes both what happens today and what will change when advertising is enabled.
