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. 🔧

The EcoFlow River 2 Pro power station is one tough cookie.

EcoFlow River 2 Pro review: loud power cube

The Ecoflow River 2 Pro is a small, powerful power station that particularly impresses with the flawless Ecoflow app in the practical test. Unfortunately, Ecoflow does not include a lamp function in the River Pro 2, and the fan makes a lot of noise at full load. However, you can find out why this is not necessarily a disadvantage in our review.

Jackery Explorer 1000 Pro review: A reliable power station

Whether at home or camping: The high-quality Explorer 1000 Pro from Jackery provides you with a very convenient energy source—but also at a steep price of $1,099. Apart from a timeless design, the power station is easily transported and stored thanks to the folding handle design. Unfortunately, there is no supporting app. Find out whether the Jackery Explorer 1000 Pro’s high price tag is justified in our review.

Xiaomi 360° Home Security Camera Pro review: Great but not a real bargain

Smart home fans had to wait a long time for this home security camera to arrive at their doorsteps if they are living in parts of Europe or worse, in the US, where there are no official sales channels. The Xiaomi 360° Home Security Camera Pro not only has a lengthy name to roll off your tongue, it also offers features such as PTZ, 2K resolution, and dual-band WiFi. Whether the surveillance camera is known in China as the “Xiaomi Mi 360° Home Security Camera 2K Pro” or not, it has proven to be really capable in everyday use as NextPit found out in this review.

Our NextPit review will clarify what the new Apple HomePods can do, highlight the differences between the old and new models, and determine if the new HomePods are worth the investment.
