Field notes
The homepage organizes material into Articles and Labs and includes an About link. One article says blocking specific YouTube Shorts channels did not prevent a child from finding other videos, while another documents a projector test that includes fan noise and a Prime Video difficulty. A separate entry lays out a buying approach that considers counterarguments and further research before choosing to buy, wait, or pass.
