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. 🔧

Windows 10: How to Continue Using the System for Longer

Official support for Windows 10 will end on October 14, 2025—after more than ten years, Microsoft is closing an important chapter in its operating system history. From this date, there will no longer be any security updates, which means a considerable risk for the remaining users. Devices with Windows 10 will no longer be protected against new threats such as malware or cyberattacks—a major risk, especially when connected to the internet.

Your Getaway Could Cost More Than You Think: Avoid This Online Mistake

A lot can go wrong on a vacation: Accommodation that turns out differently from what was advertised upon arrival, or a typical meal that does not suit your appetite, or simply getting pickpocketed in a crowd. Another common mistake concerns the smartphone, and this does not involve roaming.
