My - already older - Samsung tablet has given up the ghost, the touchscreen no longer responds, so I can neither restart it nor delete data. How can I dispose of it properly? Simply putting it in the electronic waste bin isn't really an option. I want to be sure that my data doesn't fall into the wrong hands (in case a tinkerer somehow manages to access it). Thanks for any tips!

Hello everyone, especially Hello Digitec I find the new information or the "ranking list" for device repairs a good additional information when I evaluate a new device. What I am missing as a filter criterion, especially for smartphones and tablets, is a date field with "Security patches at least available until xx.yy.zzzz". How do you see this? Resp. @digitec: Is something like this coming? Couldn't you ask the manufacturer for this information in the same way as for "size", battery life", etc.?

With the A16 Bionic chip and 6 GB of RAM, the new 11th generation iPad offers a significant increase in performance compared to its predecessor. However, it still lacks support for Apple Intelligence. What do you think of this update and which functions would be decisive for you when choosing an iPad?

Please indicate which PowerBank complies with the new 3C safety certification (China Compulsory Certification). Please also add a filter for this. Stricter regulations now apply to the carriage of power banks on certain flights. This was triggered by safety problems.

In view of the 3G switch-off (Sunrise 10.6.25, Swisscom end of 25), not only 4G (=data), but also VoLTE (telephoning via LTE) should be selectable for mobile phones in the filter for mobile standard. You cannot make calls with 4G without VoLTE, and some mobiles can only transmit data via 4G!

Hello, The telescope in question is a smart telescope, which works well in vertical alignment. However, there is now an EQ mode, i.e. equatorial alignment, which improves the image quality. To do this, the approx. 3.5 kg telescope must be aligned at an angle of approx. 45° towards Polaris. I am therefore looking for a tripod with a 3/8" thread, stable enough to support the deflected centre of gravity and a suitable head (2-way), possibly with a levelling adapter. Can anyone recommend a combination that remains financially within the hobby range? Thank you.

I am looking for a holder for my smartphone (Samsung) that can be mounted on the edge of a table (not a stand), has a neck (e.g. gooseneck) and does not require a clamp for the mobile (e.g. magnetic). A 'nice-to-have' would be if the mobile could be charged directly in the holder. Does anyone know of such a model?
