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. 🔧

2022 Expectations: For a more inclusive, sustainable and creative technology

Social networks in check, chip shortages, foldable phones being successful and the fight of some companies for more privacy and environmental care say a lot about 2021. The year when once again technology failed as a solution to curb the spread of COVID-19.

Merry Christmas! 2021 was the year of the "I": Is the "We" coming now?

Have we all gone mad? Sometimes it seems as if the world is coming apart at the seams. Hatred, resentment and violence are on the rise all over the world. Part of this is likely due to things like social media or chat groups, where many people are becoming more radicalized among like-minded people. Are we humans overwhelmed with the future and its technologies?

Opinion | Buy your best Christmas gifts now!

If forecasts of economists prove to be true, the next few months will look rather bleak! This is because the global economy is caught up in supply chain bottlenecks, something that not even a container ship that remains stuck in the Suez Canal could top. If you dislike seeing nothing underneath the Christmas tree in December, you might want to hurry up and buy those presents now.

2020 – You were a terrible year but a great teacher

The year 2020 is finally over! It was marked by pandemics, lockdowns, quarantines, carelessness, and some presidents who don’t take the will of the people very seriously. Still, I wouldn’t want to dismiss 2020 as a total disaster. After all, it has also brought about many things in us that might otherwise have remained hidden forever.
