500: maintenance mode

Greetings from the Engine Room!

Sorry, but there's really nothing to see here right now. Our server is in maintenance mode – and our little bot is trying to sort the error messages with its last bit of energy.

Whether it was a data leak, a power outage in the cluster, or just a grumpy bit – we don't know yet. But what we do know is:

The data drama escalated into a server meltdown. But don't worry: We're on it.

What now?

Everything is surely running smoothly over at our colleagues from inside digital – why not stop by!
Or you could pass the time by visiting our social media channels – for example Instagram, YouTube or TikTok. At least there are no server problems there – promised.

Thanks for your patience. Our bot is already rebooting at full speed. 🔧

Ultra-fast charging arrives: BYD's first EVs support 1,000 kW charging

Samsung Cancels Android 15 Update: What Happens Now?

Last week ended with good news for Samsung users. After months of waiting, we were finally able to announce the launch of the Android 15 and One UI 7 update. Users of the Galaxy S24 series and the two flip smartphones, Galaxy Fold 6 and Flip 6, received the long-awaited update. At least some users did.
