Didn’t work for me with Verizon. They do not care. They want you to quit. Comcast wants you to quit too. By switching between providers every year, the Sales Executives of competing companies get to show big numbers of new customers and get a bigger bonus.
My explanation for this is the sales department only gets bonuses for new customers. So they have an incentive to get you to quit because the Sales Department at other companies also get bonuses on new sales.
It’s game theory. The opponent sales departments get the biggest reward by being the worst business as long as their competitors are also bad. If you don’t switch back and forth every other year, they don’t get a bonus.
4·4 days agoI know you are asking about Synology but like the other poster suggested, build your own.
A coffee lake Xeon server like a 2224G uses shockingly little power (15 watts streaming 4k plex), has ECC ram and are available on eBay for ~$200. I bought several used Lenovo Xeon servers a couple of years ago and they have been fantastic.

2·6 days agoHe’s not talking about people who actually switched but those that publicly say, “I’m switching.” But never do or immediately backtrack.
What is on my mind right now is why you care so much.
He wants to hear about those that tried it and stayed and those that tried and went back. It’s very important to know both despite his hostile phrasing.
4·7 days agoRight hand rule.
8·8 days agoWhy split physical and data link when they are so closely related?
100 mb Ethernet can be run over cat 5e, Cat 6, etc. You can even have Ethernet frames running over coax. (Not just the original standard which was coax but there are modern bridges for using cable TV coax in your house to reach rooms where you can’t pull cat5.)

12·9 days agoI know you should separate the art from the artist but fuck Kelsey Grammer. Watching his shows directly gives him residuals.
He’s promoting Trump even today.

50·11 days agoIt was proved to him that it doesn’t block ai scrapers.
At first I agreed with him. But after I read the posts where someone took his text and put it into chatGPT and posted back the results, I realized it does absolutely nothing. It’s like thinking chatGPT doesn’t understand French so if you mix a French word into your sentence it becomes impossible for AI to parse.
Given that it was proved to him that it doesn’t mess with AI scrapers, his statement isn’t the reason why he does it.
Dahua must have improved their software. I was trying every brand of camera about 8 years ago when I setup my system. The first Dahua I bought required their ActiveX component for Internet Explorer to see the camera output from their web interface!
I agree that Dahua looked better but at the time their web interface was so bad I kept the Hikvisions.
12% of daily trades are day traders. That means 88% isn’t.
Dahua and Hikvision have great cameras but of course you shouldn’t trust them. Block them at the firewall. I bought mine a few years ago and preferred Hikvision for its better built in webserver for initial configuration.
On the hosting side you run Frigate, Zoneminder or BlueIris (Windows) to control the cameras and record their streams.
Sorry I dropped a decimal. 33.3*30
Your 401k isn’t $33 million a day. It’s the funds behind it that are trading daily.
.001% of $33M from the Vanguard Index means you lose .001% of the $50k in your 401k which holds Vanguard.
They rebalance continuously. If they waited until the end of the month it would be billions that would be impossible to rebalance without distorting the trades they’re trying to execute.
Even if they waited it wouldn’t matter .001% of $1 billion a month is the same as .001% of $333m daily.
Gold has never been good long term roi. It’s an inflation hedge. (I bought gold in the 1980’s).
Disabling JS is itself a very rare thing for someone to do so doing it helps fingerprint you.
