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. 🔧

Netflix and Others Hit a Dead End: 5 Reasons Why Piracy is Back

We've all been there at one point or another: after a long day at work, we simply want to switch our minds off and chill out on the sofa with our favorite TV series. Suddenly, the series has disappeared without a trace. Or you're annoyed about the next round of price increase, only to discover shortly afterwards that the more expensive subscription now contains advertising. These are conditions that made a surprising resurrection possible—the return of piracy!

I Tested the Apple Watch Ultra 3’s Battery and This Is How Long It Lasted

After what felt like forever, Apple finally bumped up the Apple Watch’s battery life. The new Apple Watch Ultra 3 jumps from 36 to 42 hours, promising nearly two full days of power, at least on paper. But Apple has a history of being conservative with its battery estimates, so we wanted to find out how long the Ultra 3 actually lasts. Here is our real-world battery test and whether it lives up to the hype.

Back to Wired: Why I'm Done With Wireless Headphones

For a long time, Bluetooth headphones seemed to be the pinnacle of audio technology. Wireless freedom, paired with features such as active noise cancellation (ANC) and a plethora of app-controlled options, promised the ultimate listening experience. I was convinced of this future of hearing for a long time. But after an odyssey through the labyrinth of the wireless audio world, I'm returning to an analog classic: wired headphones. Here are the reasons for this return.

The One Upgrade You Shouldn’t Expect on the Apple Watch Ultra 3

Since its debut, the Apple Watch Ultra has stood out for its appeal to outdoor adventurers, with a bright, oversized display, rugged titanium case, physical buttons, and unique watch faces. The upcoming Ultra 3, expected in September, appears to follow that formula, with credible reports indicating major upgrades. But one thing the leaks have not mentioned, and history suggests we will not see, is longer battery life. Apple has kept endurance consistent across the Ultra line, and with no sign of change in the rumors, this could remain its most persistent limitation.
