Don’t get me wrong, I don’t support this. But I can see how the suits at Synology could come to the conclusion that this is a great idea

People who buy overpriced “solutions” instead of taking the time to configure a PC seem like exactly the crowd to enjoy a closed ecosystem (see apple)

I see what they were trying to do there, but “Arbeit MAGA frei” makes very little sense. Why not stick to “Arbeit MAGA”? Then again, trumpists aren’t exactly known for their great grammar…

Why bother? Use a VPN.

Do the cars not have to be certified? It seems to me that fewer employees just means longer delays for certifications, not easier certifications

I thought the main characteristic of a gulag is that people were forced to do hard manual labor? These sound more like concentration camps to me

Proprietary format that only “works” with one software

Don’t get me wrong, I dislike other gaming consoles too. Why would I buy a device that I don’t really own, i.e. the manufacturer can pull the rug from under it at any time and render it completely useless? I get your point about ‘innovative’ designs. But then they should sell the device separately and allow the user to with it as they please (see steam deck).

*don’t use docx in the first place

I don’t hate myself enough to use microsoft software, so idk

What offends me most about this is using the convolution operator * for multiplication in a typeset equation

You can use FDE and setup a minimal ssh server like dropbear to run at startup. This way, you can supply the password via a keyboard connected to the machine OR via ssh. This gives you a similar workflow to the data partition you mentioned, but encrypts the entire system.

Which country is that? I just recently got fiber, but 1G down 0.5G up would cost me 90€/month, and that’s the fastest they’re offering.

I also wouldn’t use the built-in Wifi on this, but I can understand why they’d want to offer an all-in-one solution

I hate the cloudflare stuff making me do captchas or outright denying me with a burning passion. My fault for committing the heinous crime of using a VPN!

From the image, it doesn’t seem like it has rack mounts, which is kind of an odd choice. There are lots of switches that have a similar form factor, but can be put in 10" or 19" racks depending on which rack ears you put on it

Follow-up video idea: speed ≠ distance

Am I having a stroke?
