500: Wartungsmodus

Grüße aus dem Maschinenraum!

Sorry, aber gerade ist bei uns wirklich gar nix zu holen. Unser Server ist im Wartungsmodus – und unser kleiner Bot versucht gerade, mit letzter Energie die Fehlermeldungen zu sortieren.

Ob’s ein Daten-Leck, ein Stromausfall im Cluster oder einfach nur ein mies gelauntes Bit war – wir wissen es noch nicht. Was wir aber wissen:

Das Daten-Drama eskalierte zu einer Server-Schmelze. Aber keine Sorge: Wir sind dran.

Was jetzt?

Bei unseren Kolleg:innen von inside digital läuft bestimmt alles rund – schau doch mal vorbei!
Oder du vertreibst dir die Zeit mit einem Besuch auf unseren Social-Media-Kanälen – zum Beispiel Instagram, YouTube oder TikTok. Da gibt’s immerhin keine Serverprobleme – versprochen.

Danke für deine Geduld. Unser Bot rebootet schon mit Hochdruck. 🔧

Thankfully, a new mobile version of Odin has been released that helps users skip the whole PC part of the process and enabling users to do everything from their Samsung smartphone.

How to get Android 4.4 KitKat Emojis on your smartphone

Adding smilies to your online conversations is now an integral part of today’s messaging culture, whether it be in your SMS, on Skype, the new funny cats and characters of Facebook and the cute animals, objects and my personal favorite, the smelling poo, from WhatsApp. They’re used to give some life and color to the otherwise boring text appearing on-screen – they back up your ‘lol’ with a smile, giving that emotion just a little more value…and they are just fun! What does emoji even mean? Well Emojis comes from the Japanese word of ‘e’ meaning picture and ‘moji’ meaning letter and and is an ingrained part of the Japanese texting culture.
