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. 🔧

EufyCam 3 review: Brilliant performance with a big caveat!

What a brilliant performance the eufyCam 3 put on in NextPit’s review! With 4K video, numerous smart features, and cloud-free use, the security solution would certainly have made it to the top of our list of the best surveillance cameras. However, various security flaws in Eufy’s security cameras became known during the test period. Is the purchase still worth it?

TP-Link Tapo C210 review: Good value-for-money

The TP-Link Tapo C210 costs only as much as a good dinner at a restaurant and provides more security in your smart home. It detects movements and people, can be rotated, panned, and tilted via your smartphone, and stores the video footage on microSD cards. In this review, I discovered on NextPit’s behalf on whether this purchase is worth it!
