Editorial standards

Every quote is real.

Every direct quotation in Compute! is taken from a public source — a press release, an SEC filing, a podcast, an X post, a published interview, a regulatory transcript. We do not invent quotes for effect. Sources are linked or named in The Receipts at the back of every issue.

Footnotes throughout. Disclaimers nowhere.

Where a claim is hedged or unverified, we footnote it and flag the uncertainty. Where we extrapolate or estimate, we say so. The magazine is satirical in voice but factual in substance.
