As a sidenote: I'm always annoyed at technical articles and pages on the web without timestamps/dates/any hint that allows you to discern the age of the information.

I always go to Web Archive to get a guestimate. It also helps because you can see how an article evolved.
Oh, great tip! Thank you!
While this one does have a date right near where I'd expect it (somewhere near the article title), I do agree with your point in general.
For me that's a good indication that the site is some kind of content farm, probably with articles written by people who aren't credited by name, and the whole thing is a waste of time.

I usually use the element inspector and search for "date". Usually would have the original publishing dates and updated dates.

I'm not sure if the page has been updated since your comment (ironic!), but there's a timestamp right above the title.

Ah, so it's seven months old already.

Version numbers and system used is also important, that's rare too.
Not just technical articles, any article in general
