Nothing challenges Apple, Fitbit joins forces with Google and Motorola phones can be connected to Windows PCs. Only the new iMac with the M3 chip stands alone and is causing headaches.
The week is full of game reviews and product tests. This time, the results are usually very surprising. For example, we thought that if Google had a hand in it, something good would come out of it. But [Lorenz/author/lorenz-keller-8603927) was proved wrong with the Fitbit Charge 6. The fitness tracker would like to be a smartwatch and is therefore tripping over itself.
Our apple tester Samuel is pretty disappointed with the new iMac with the M3 chip. It appears to have only a few improvements. Even after three years, there are still some weak points and Samuel doesn't really know who the new iMac is aimed at.

In the action-packed story, you take it in turns to help the two characters out of trouble.

and Florian are keeping things in order. Martin gives a Windows tip on how to organise windows clearly and quickly. And Florian clarifies the question of what is and isn't legal in Switzerland when it comes to the topic of downloading. In typical Swiss fashion, the answer begins with "It depends". At least it's not regulated differently in every canton ...

In my world, Super Mario chases Stormtroopers with a unicorn and Harley Quinn mixes cocktails for Eddie and Peter at the beach bar. Wherever I can live out my creativity, my fingers tingle. Or maybe it's because nothing flows through my veins but chocolate, glitter and coffee.
