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. 🔧

Almost two years have now passed and finally, OPPO is launching a less spectacular successor in the form of the Find X2 Pro. We have tested the OPPO Find X2 Pro and will tell you if this top smartphone is a real alternative to top devices from Huawei, Samsung, and Apple.

Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra camera review: overwhelmed by new possibilities

A resolution of 108 megapixels on a rarely seen image sensor that is unheard of for mobile phones: the Samsung Isocell Bright HMX set new standards, at least on paper. After the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 (Pro), an improved version of the 1/1.33-inch chip called HM1 is now also used in a smartphone from Samsung itself: the Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G.

Google Nest Wi-Fi review: a quick test of the fast router

After little more than two years, Google is relaunching its mesh WLAN system, Google Wi-Fi. This is now called Nest Wifi and offers small technical changes. The most important one is that Nest Wifi goes beyond a simple access point and now includes microphones and speakers for voice control and music playback. We put it to the test.

Roborock S5 Max review: it sucks, mops, and is not a pain in the ass

According to a recent survey, 85 percent of you people only know vacuum cleaner robots primarily from funny YouTube videos. But the Roborock S5 Max can do more than just chauffeur your cat around the living room and vacuum very effectively on most floors. It also mops at the same time – not with pet excrement, but with water.

100 days with the OnePlus 7T: the best premium phone for the money

OneLove, OneLife, OnePlus. Yes, I can already hear you screaming, what am I saying? This is fanboyism. “OnePlus is a brand for techno-geeks that has betrayed its flagship-killer philosophy,” is often the cry. That’s true, but it was worth it.
