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. 🔧

A Spy on Your Wrist: Amazon’s AI Gadget Listens to Everything You Say

Amazon has acquired Bee, an AI startup that has developed a rather disturbing product. This gadget looks like an ordinary Fitbit-type connected bracelet, but it actually contains microphones that record everything you say. Should we be worried about Amazon’s acquisition of such a product, one of the world’s most data-hungry companies?

Nothing’s $99 Smartwatch is Sneakily Loaded with Premium Features

Apart from Nothing’s very own line of smartwatches, it also offers cheaper options with its CMF sub-brand, which proves to be popular. The CMF lineup was headlined by the CMF Watch 2 Pro last year. Now, it is getting a successor through the new CMF Watch 3 Pro. The new budget watch brings a handful of new premium features and beefier specs, but it keeps the price under $100.

This New Sensor Knows What Your Body Needs Before You Do

“Drink more water” is one of the most common pieces of health advice out there. The general rule of thumb is that most people should aim for 1.5 to 2 liters of water a day. Simple enough in theory. But in practice, how do you really know if you are hydrated? Thirst, fatigue, and headaches are usually late-stage signs that you are already running low.

If you feel like your workouts no longer deliver results the way they did in your early twenties, it is not a glitch in the system. It is simply how the body works.
