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. 🔧

Confessional interview: "Yes, I subscribe to YouTube Premium and I'm not ashamed of it!"

YouTube Premium subscribers are a bit like people who buy WinRAR, they don't exist. At least that's what I thought before Camila Rinaldi, my esteemed colleague at NextPit.com, made a dark confession last week.

Are you suffering from headline anxiety? Here is how to stop doomscrolling!

It will be needless to say that the world around us seems to not be at its best. At least not in my relatively short, living memory. From the political climate of the past few years to the COVID pandemic and the tragic events in Ukraine, we are constantly being bombarded with news. Today I want to raise awareness on the issue of "doomscrolling" and the negative impact of unpleasant news on our digital lifestyle.

Opinion | The Galaxy A 2022 line is disappointing, and the charger was the last straw

Samsung just finished updating its phone lineup for the first semester, with its flagship S models, and the entry-level and mid-range phones in the Galaxy A range, coming with new phones for 2022. But after a very interesting 2021 lineup, this year’s Galaxy A line just leaves a bad taste in the mouth.

Opinion | The iPhone SE 2022 makes the iPhone 13 an even better deal

The iPhone SE 2022 release was followed by lots of criticism, especially for keeping a design that is basically the same as 2014’s iPhone 6. But while it has received a lukewarm reception — 5G yay! — it may have turned the iPhone 13 even more attractive. Also read: Compare all the current iPhone models in the market today

Xiaomi 12 confirms trend: Are phones finally getting smaller?

The launch of the Xiaomi 12 confirms it once again: Smartphones will be smaller and lighter in 2022. After several months of using the iPhone 13 mini, I'll now explain why I find this trend to be a very welcome pattern. In my opinion, using smaller smartphones is liberating and in some ways, healthier.

Xiaomi, fix your Dark Mode, it's been two years

With MIUI 13 slowly rolling out globally, I can't help but feel a bit disappointed, not because my hardy Redmi Note 9 Pro isn't getting it anytime soon, if at all, but because two years later software problems are still there, "bugging" me daily. So I will use that as a reason to express the frustration of a consumer who feels left behind.

Gut feeling vs. smartwatch: Are daily form measurements useful?

The smartwatches from Garmin and Fitbit tell you how fit you are with the help of Body Battery or the Daily Form Index. And there are also third-party apps with a similar feature for the Apple Watch. But is it a good idea to listen to their recommendations?

Huawei without Google in 2022: It works but why bother?

Huawei without Google, does it work in 2022? Well, it does, the Google-divorced devices work a little better than in the past. But does Huawei, which continues to sell its smartphones at more than $1,000 overseas without offering a convincing Android experience, really deserve a medal for that? No!

Opinion: How Google Pixel 6 Pro drove me towards the iPhone

The past three months have been marked by a constant struggle to integrate a device into my daily life. However, after six months of anticipation, the Google Pixel 6 Pro went from the best phone of the year to a nightmare. And to my surprise, that was the watershed in making me finally migrate to iOS after 12 years of using Android.

Computational RAW on smartphones: The best of both worlds

The RAW format is indispensable when it comes to digital photography and dedicated cameras. When it comes to smartphones on the other hand, the RAW format takes a back seat. The reasons for this point to computational photography: With multiple exposures, intelligent algorithms and the like, smartphones are able to obtain better images out of its small sensors than an experienced photographer can from a single RAW file. This could very well change in 2022.
