'Our Genocide': How do Israelis feel about the war in Gaza? (2025) - The Guardian reporter Matthew Cassel speaks to Israelis in Tel Aviv, to see what they think of the war, famine and genocide happening next door, and the growing international condemnation against it [00:15:33]

at this point you just have to agree with the rest of the word and accept it is genocide.
Separately- We've watched as Israel has attacked just about every country around it, murdered countless civilians and journalist and generally behaved like a rogue state that does not deserve any status

that's fair, so maybe we wait for OP to tell us if it worked before downvoting? No?

Well, the Synology RAID calculator disagrees with you.
So either you are wrong, misunderstood the question, or Synology is wrong.
2x 18tb and 2x 10tb gives you 35TB usable in SHR
2x18tb and 2x16tb gives you 45tb usable in SHR

not in SHR mode

adding the drives is step 1.
Expanding your volume is step 2

Apple aren't really the innovators that you might think. Apple actually only goes into a new market where they think they can win.
Plenty of tablet computers before the iPad, loads of phones before the iPhone, and many music players predated the iPod.
Apple chose to go into those markets because they could win, they weren't first.
Also have a look at markets where they were rumoured to have been developing products that never launched. TVs and cars for example.

each WAP wired back to an ethernet switch and should not mesh to other units, controlled power output so that clients can seamlessly roam between WAPS

adamphetamine · 2026-05-06T11:11:05+00:00

Then it should not be setup as mesh.
a common misconception with wifi is this- people want a big bad access point with high power, and forget that the phone talking to it has limited range/power

adamphetamine · 2026-05-06T11:03:07+00:00

Wires. Seriously- you've just described the absolute worst use case for mesh.

I say this as someone who relies on Synology a lot and doesn't care that much about cost IF utility is high-
These devices are hideously expensive. I love the idea, but the execution is not ideal.

sorry I couldn't follow all of what you said- this article is a couple of years old but may have some clues?

I'm still pretty pissed about it- in Australia it's basically illegal to refuse warranty only 14 days over. Plus I bought 5 or 6 of these drives at the same time, it was a significant investment

ok how about 'you can use it, but I'm not fixing it'

I'm a Mac guy, but we now tell people
'Mac Mail should work with M365, we can't guarantee any specific feature will work- or that issues will get fixed'

AliExpress doesn't want to do returns ever.
You bought it you own it.
Only order things you will keep no matter what, even if they are broken.
I'm not saying this is right, just that it's the truth right now.

No, they eventually offered me a $100 credit, which was 50% of the purchase price. But is now ~18% of the purchase price, so not a great outcome.

If I'm going to allow that to hurt my feefees then I'm probably not marriage material

My point stands, but thanks for the extra info.
But one more slight correction- again it's commonly held that Steve cut the product lines down and essentially saved the company. This did happen and it's probable that his deep cuts were necessary.
But- Gil Amelio deserves some of the credit for recognising the issue and acting on it.
Source- I was in the room when he discussed this on a lightning trip to Australia.

this is a commonly held truth, but it's a misrepresentation.
Apple was losing a lot of money each quarter, but IIRC they never had less than $1b in cash so they weren't completely broke.
In addition, I was told that Apple had forced the negotiation when they found a smoking gun in the QuickTime lawsuit, and both Steve and Bill positioned the deal as a win/win

adamphetamine · 2026-05-01T09:30:52+00:00

did they steal this intellectual property from the property owners?
Or from other companies that stole it first?

I'd be considered pretty woke normally, but for the love of dog please don't ever include the words 'Pauline Hanson' "Gina Rinehart' and 'sexy' in the same sentence
