   I wish sites would date/time stamp their articles. I'm trying to figure out how old my laptop is, but articles like this ( https://www.cnet.com/products/toshiba-satellite-l75d-a7283-17-3-a4-5000m-6-gb-ram-750-gb-hdd-us/ ) don't help.
   
   If it is there, I haven't seen it.

      @lnxw48a1 somewhat related, ever since I moved to Canada, everything here has a different model no. So looking for manuals and reviews becomes impossible. I never knew how US slanted the internet was until I left. I often do detective work to find the comparable device between the countries. Canada is a small market so I understand why it feels slanted, but it has been a pain.

      @lnxw48a1 This is an astonishingly rare thing for sites to do, and it's a pet peeve of mine. I'm also annoyed by very vague "timestamps" like "three years ago", which lots of trendy CMSes seem to prefer.
