Even in the new year, the chronicle of digital malfunctions remains a core part of our journalistic work. With the “Weekly Tech Report,” 2026 marks another chapter in a format that has been systematically documenting where today’s technologies reach their limits.
489 Documented Errors in 2025
Looking back on the past year reveals the full extent of technical unreliability: A total of 489 documented error events made it into the weekly reports in 2025. From Apple services to mobility apps, VR headsets, and communication platforms – hardly any area remained error-free.
These errors are not marginal notes. They occur in everyday life, affect core functions, and often undermine the very promises manufacturers make when promoting their systems: stability, user-friendliness, and progress. The “Weekly Tech Report” captures this gap between promise and reality – soberly, concretely, and continuously.
What It’s About – and Why It Matters
The mission behind the project is clear: No technical error in an increasingly digitalized and globally networked world should go undocumented. The reports make visible what is often dismissed in everyday life as an “isolated incident” – they highlight patterns, trends, and systemic weaknesses.
The reports are based on concrete user observations – for example, on iMessage bugs, Siri glitches, FreeNow outages, or issues with Meta Quest 3S. This is supplemented by systematic tags across articles, technical context analyses, and a structured backend archive.
