Yeah, after he sexually harassed a flight attendant and laughed about it on Twitter.

I have a watt meter monitoring the power usage of my NAS. Out of all my checks, I assume that’s how I’m going to know I get hacked before anything else.

Yeah, that looks amazing, and it’s really quick. That’s a huge improvement!

Not cause of the rumors AMD started around SteamDeck 2?

I do like the idea of adding the “this product replaces X, Y, or Z” in the info card without needing to click on it.

It’s a tough balance, you don’t want a whole page for each one. Maybe if there was a clear list of tags so it’s easier to understand even what category they’re talking about?

For example:
Penpot
Design freedom meets open-source collaboration

I really don’t know what this product category even is. Is it for web layout? Is it a drawing program? Is it for CAD?

Love the list, but scrolling through, the one liners don’t mean much for a lot of these.

The descriptions are just too short and vague to even understand what a lot of them actually do.

I’m sure Valve loves the fact that more people are locked into the Steam store.

Steam is great, and there’s workarounds for using other installed games/stores, but… kinda feels bad that this stuff is so integrated into the Valve/Steam experience.

Don’t get me wrong, I use my steam deck… a lot… and I buy most of my games on Steam… I just wish GOG and Epic integration was a little more integrated, just so I don’t feel so locked in to one company. (yes, I’m aware of heroic launcher, and other options, but they’re still just hacked on extra steps that don’t always work)

I’m using an old laptop with the lid closed. Uses 10w.

All in, including my router, switches, modem, laptop, and NAS, I’m using 50watts +/- 5.

It does everything I need, and I feel like that’s pretty efficient.

I can’t wear them in vehicles because the polarization of the glasses through windshields make me car sick.

I don’t normally get car sick, so it’s only if I wear polarized lenses. I speculate it’s the light being changed as it goes through the tempered glass.

Well, if LTT is involved, then I probably want nothing to do with it.

FYI, in case anyone is running 7.2.1, just be aware that you have to MANUALLY update because you need to agree to new terms that removes local hardware processing of some media types.

7.2.2-72806 Update 1 is the update with the new patches.

If you’re running Plex locally (i.e. - not in docker) you’ll need to manually install the updated 7.2.2 patch. You need to download it locally, then push it back up to your NAS bypassing the normal process. You can’t use the plex client to prompt the update, and you can’t use the synology package manager to update.

The package links on Reddit and some other sites are older versions that may not install

If you’re running home assistant, you can put some inline power monitoring plugs in. I like the thirdreality ones, cause you can set them to “default on” or “default off” after power failure and run it as a zigbee local network without requiring internet access.

Oof, that’s a lot of juice.

I’m running a UPS, Syno720+, old gaming laptop as a portainer host, my wifi, router, cable modem, and switches, and that’s only using about 50w for everything. Pretty sure the Synology is using the bulk of that power, but I don’t have data to back that up.

I’d like to upgrade a few things, but I’m really trying to keep it below 75w. Ideally below 50w if I can. I think my old laptop is good for now, just want more flexibility in my NAS if I can do it without bumping up the power budget.

Any idea what your power consumption is for the 1618? I currently have a 720, but with only two drives it’s kind of limiting for HDD upgrades.

Ok, that’s hilarious and very unique, but it’s definitely solving a problem that I personally don’t have.

If I’m going to be doing longer gaming sessions, I’ll hook it up to my TV and use an xbox controller.

The current generation is now showerthoughting the same thing people used to say about credit cards.

Warp 10 is infinitely fast, then how come the upgraded Enterprise D can go warp 13!?!?!

I’ve been running a pair of cyberpower systems for over a decade. I had to replace the battery in each of them once, but they’ve been working great.

I assume newer ones use some sort of Li-Ion battery tech, but mine are just plain old Lead Acid.

2000 was a leap year. Source: I was there.

The math on the 400 thing is the other way around.
