What is our own work?
The wording, illustrations, conversation prompts, worksheets, buying checklists and browser tools are original Really Byte work. Science passages are short original summaries. Our practical missions are editorial activities rather than instructions from the source organisations.
What counts as checked?
We use identifiable institutional explanations for the specific natural-world facts in this edition. A citation supports the stated fact, not every possible claim about that topic. Source pages were consulted on 10 October 2026. We do not operate a live news feed or automated fact-checking service.
Shopping without borrowed authority
Useful Oddities links to search categories. We have not independently tested the products in those results. No customer ratings, copied product photos, fabricated reviews or live prices are used. Read the actual listing before deciding.
Corrections
Email info@reallybyte.com with the page, exact statement and a useful source. We can update a checked correction in a later site edition.
