Credits & image sources

PinoutFeed uses real, freely licensed photos — mainly from Wikimedia Commons. Every image is credited on its article and listed below.

How we use third-party content

  • Images. Images are real photographs released under a free license — public domain, CC0, CC BY or CC BY-SA — mainly from Wikimedia Commons, credited with the photographer and license. We do not use generated illustrations or title cards, and we never hotlink stock photography. When no photo of the exact product is freely licensed, we use a neutral photo (a circuit board, a workbench) rather than a different product. Each image is credited inline with the article and listed below.
  • Quotations. Articles may quote brief passages from primary sources (makers' product pages and datasheets, vendor announcements, release notes, news reports) for the purpose of news reporting and commentary. All quoted material is attributed and linked. Quotations are kept short and used under the fair-use doctrine (17 U.S.C. § 107).
  • Source links. Linking to source articles is not infringement; it's how journalism works. We link out so readers can verify our reporting and read the original.

If you're a rights holder

If you believe an image or quotation on this site has been used without proper permission or attribution, please contact us at [email protected] with a description of the work and the URL where it appears. We respond to legitimate requests promptly — typically within 48 hours — and will correct attribution, replace, or remove content as appropriate.

Editorial process

Articles on PinoutFeed are produced with AI assistance under human editorial review. We report from primary sources — makers' product pages and datasheets, vendor newsrooms, official release notes and campaign pages — and reputable outlets, into clear, cited coverage. Specs are copied from the maker, never estimated. We do not republish articles from other publications. See our editorial standards for details.

Independence and disclosure

PinoutFeed accepts paid sponsorships and runs display advertising. Sponsorships are clearly labeled wherever they appear on the site. Editorial coverage is independent of advertisers and is not influenced by sponsorship relationships.
