Frequently Asked Questions

Remote Tech Gear is published by LidYam Ventures, a tech review company founded by Biniyam and Lidiya, based in Marietta, Georgia. Biniyam has a background in applied physics and is passionate about understanding how technology works. Lidiya brings expertise in user experience and real-world application. Together, they're committed to providing honest, thorough product reviews. You can learn more on our About page.

We choose products based on a combination of factors: relevance to our core niches (smart home, home office, and tech accessories), reader interest and requests, product quality and innovation, and market demand. We also monitor what's new and exciting in the tech world and prioritize products that genuinely solve problems or improve people's lives. If you'd like to suggest a product, please contact us.

Affiliate links are special links that contain tracking codes. When you click an affiliate link on Remote Tech Gear and make a purchase on Amazon (or another retailer) within a certain timeframe, we receive a small commission from that sale. The commission comes from the retailer's marketing budget, not from you. You pay the exact same price as you would if you went directly to the retailer. For complete details, see our Affiliate Disclosure page.

No. Using an affiliate link does not cost you anything extra. You pay the same price whether you click our affiliate link or go directly to Amazon (or another retailer). The commission we receive is already built into the retailer's marketing budget. We're just sharing that commission with you in the form of free, helpful content.

Editorial independence is a core value at Remote Tech Gear. While we do earn affiliate commissions, our product recommendations are never influenced by commission rates or the availability of affiliate links. We review products based on merit, quality, value, and reader need. We decline to promote products we cannot honestly recommend, regardless of commission potential. Our goal is to build long-term trust with you — that's far more valuable than any short-term affiliate commission. Learn more in our Affiliate Disclosure.

We update existing reviews regularly to reflect new products, price changes, availability updates, and new reader feedback. Technology moves fast, and a recommendation that was perfect six months ago might have a newer alternative available today. We also publish new reviews regularly based on reader requests and product releases in our core niches. Subscribe to our newsletter for updates on new content.

Absolutely! We love hearing suggestions from readers. You can submit product suggestions through our contact form, or email us directly at contact@remotetechgear.com. While we can't review every suggestion, we carefully consider all recommendations and prioritize products that align with our niches and that our audience is asking about.

Remote Tech Gear occasionally works with brands on partnerships and sponsored content. However, any sponsored content is clearly labeled as "Sponsored" or "Partner Content" at the top of the article, above the headline. We never disguise sponsored content as editorial content, and we maintain the same quality standards for sponsored content as we do for our regular reviews. If you're interested in a partnership with Remote Tech Gear, contact us.
