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. 🔧

100 days with the Sony Xperia XZ Premium: Old school charmer

Well, here we are. This year the time has come once more to cross to the dark side of the force, at least for a few days. All of us are anxiously waiting to try the brand new and (in its own way) revolutionary iPhone X, but we must not forget that Cupertino’s company has also presented two other devices. But first, we will be analyzing the powerful iPhone 8 Plus. Which Android smartphone can rival the iPhone 8? Accessories to the iPhone 8 shown off at IFA 2017

I don’t usually like smartphones that are too big, and even though the LG V30 caught my eye, I never gave it the attention it deserved; that is, it wasn’t attractive enough to become my primary smartphone.

Motorola Moto G5S Plus Review: Unripe for the picking

Just half a year after their release, the Moto G5 and G5 Plus will each be replaced by new models that bear an S suffix. For this review, we took a look at the Moto G5S Plus to see if the early facelift is justified, or if Motorola should have waited for the right moment before retiring the young, soon-to-be predecessors of the G range.

Google Home review: still much to learn

Google has been selling its Assistant hardware, Google Home, in the US since November 2016. But can Google still catch up to Amazon, which has already gathered plenty of experience with Alexa? How mature is Google Home in comparison? A one-week review gave me a mixed impression.
