The IODD is basically a small drive enclosure, not a "stupid" USB drive.

I was more thinking of devices like this, this or this. Which have the simplicity of a normal USB device (just plug it in and go) and come with an automatically updating label so you can find the correct dongle.

But yeah, nowadays, I'd probably prefer the IODD thing.

I remember various different concepts of USB flash drives with integrated LCDs that would display a label and the remaining capacity. Then they vanished and the only thing left were the Lexar Echo drives. Until a few years ago, when they have been pulled from the markets. Probably, because they didn't work with the now default GPT and its many different partition types.

Maybe try to understand his point first?

From what I’ve gathered, Nix will create an immutable state of HA, but HA requires for additional packages to be downloaded - which NixOS doesn’t support/allow.

So users will end up with a broken HA install.

And guess where they will file bug reports about this? (Hint: It won’t be Nix…)

tmux is a modern screen replacement.

If your distro uses apt, install aptitude and enjoy a nice TUI for all your package management needs…

Yep, my DS415+ is still going strong and fell out of DSM support, so I’m stuck with DSM7.1. However, people successfully converted their xx15+ to a xx17+ model and were able to update to DSM7.2. So there’s no technical reason to not support these older systems.

Also, I had a very bad experience with Synology support when the C2000 bug hit my DS415+. Once this thing dies, I’ll definitely won’t get another Synology.

Is this a new thing? AFAIK, Synology used to be open source, but then went closed source several years ago. Which is, when the Xpenology project was born.

In the comments the victim said that the police said it were two emails they got. Not even a call.

Since the Pinecil is running IronOS, it’s just a matter of time for it to also get the fall detection. And apart from the LED ring gimmick, I don’t see any huge advantages over IronOS.

What they probably meant is they didn’t include a screen because this way they can sell their overpriced battery pack.

Have they not heard of the TS100 or the Pinecil?

Both run an open-source firmware and work with any USB-C PD battery pack and still allow you to configure the temperature.

Problem is: For these companies, the numbers of customer growth are far more important to their shareholders than anything else. So they won’t kick misbehaving customers and have no interest in identifying them in the first place.
