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. 🔧

Luxury or Necessity? Millions in Europe Can’t Afford to Heat Their Homes

Last heating season hit Europe like a wake-up call. A staggering 47 million people across the EU, Switzerland, and Norway struggled to afford proper heating through the winter. That’s about 10.2% of the entire population—up sharply from 31 million in 2021. What’s surprising? It’s not just the colder northern regions feeling the squeeze. It’s actually the warmer areas where the situation is often worse. In some places, up to 30% of residents are affected. Chances are, you’ve noticed the spike in energy costs yourself over the past few months. It’s been hard to miss.

Researchers Achieve Heating and Cooling Efficiency Breakthrough

International scientists are working hard to discover better methods when it comes to heating and cooling technologies. A group of researchers has apparently made a decisive breakthrough that could make it easier than ever to maintain the desired temperature. Systems that create a temperature difference require a lot of energy, on average. Although some energy-efficient heating and cooling methods are available today, a large proportion of the required energy in households is still used to maintain temperatures.
