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. 🔧

IKEA Symfonisk review: Should tech become invisible?

Is it time for technology to take a back seat? When I was young, I had people throng my living room whenever we purchased a brand-new TV as they wanted to check it out, but fast-forward to today and it seems as though new technologies have integrated themselves so well and seamlessly that they are almost invisible within a smart home environment. But is this even meaningful and practical? Also, is this the so-called “ambient computing” that techies rave about? To find out more, NextPit decided to give the IKEA Symfonisk photo frame a closer look.
