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. 🔧

Roborock S6 review: an almost perfect flatmate

My first incursion into smart home couldn’t have had a better protagonist. The Roborock S6 vacuum robot has been a joy for a beginner like me. It’s easy to use and effective. The smart vacuum cleaner from the company that was born thanks to Xiaomi (which is one of its investors) has been a good companion, although it has given me some displeasure. Or rather, my dog.

SMART HOME & ROBOTS

Winter is coming, and so should you be!

Smart home, smartwatch, smart… phone. Everything seems to have become smart. Even light bulbs, washing machines and microwaves seem to be smarter than ourselves in some aspects. Our day to day lives are made easier and more pleasant thanks to that ‘smart’ that goes before so many things… and of course, this intelligent invasion could not help but touch a rather fundamental part of life. Now sex is getting smart too. Welcome to the world of hi-tech sensuality.

iRobot Roomba i7+ review: a perfect companion for the lazy

During the last two weeks, I’ve allowed the new iRobot Roomba i7+ to clean my apartment. What attracted me most about this vacuum cleaner robot is its ability to clean itself, an aspect not to be underestimated, especially if you are also lazy like me. Is it worth buying despite its prohibitive price?
