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. 🔧

Amazon Echo Studio review: modular hi-fi sound with Alexa

Amazon’s Echo family grows and grows. The newest member is the Echo Studio, which at first glance looks like an Amazon interpretation of Apple’s HomePod. But the Echo Studio is more than just an Apple HomePod in an Amazon dress. Much more, it is also a loudspeaker to advance Amazon’s content platforms like Amazon Music and Prime Video.

Realme 5 Pro review: the best €200 smartphone you can buy

Only a few months after the excellent Realme 3 Pro, the Chinese manufacturer is back with its successor named the Realme 5 Pro (in Chinese the number four is homophonous to the word “death”, and is thus deemed unlucky). After several weeks with the phone, it’s time for my full review. Once again, the young brand strikes hard by erasing the main flaws of its predecessor.

How did Huawei do it and what how does the smartphone perform? Here’s our full review.

Google Pixel 4 review: great phone, when it has battery

Google has launched its fourth generation of Pixel smartphones, and much has been written about the Pixel 4 XL. I’ve been using the smaller of the two new Google flagships to see if it can stand up to the competition. In a world where compact smartphones are a dying breed, does this represent the best choice for Android fans?
