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. 🔧

Samsung Freestyle review: Portable entertainer with its quirks

With the Freestyle, Samsung tries to revolutionize the “projector” concept. While conventional models are best installed in the living room and never moved again after the initial setup, it is highly encouraged you take the Freestyle with you. This works excellently in the review, but Samsung’s $899.99 gadget is not quite the finished article yet.

Smart switch rant: The absurdity of replacing a light switch

Life or death, night or day, on or off, all these concepts are delightfully simple. Somehow in a twisted manner, however, manufacturers of smart home products have managed to replace this simple concept in many households with voice commands and smartphone controls. Smart light switches suck, even if they are advertised as being particularly practical and clever.
