There is however the constant Nag from Synology to upgrade to the latest versions that system automatically kicks out to you along with the emails they send about the current patches that they recommend you apply to your system.
No one auto-patchs NAS devices as bad things can happen to peoples data.
is really the only long term solution that will work (until someone discovers a super fast reliable high density wireless solution). While that is not the cause of the current outage it certainly eliminates a lot of other issues and allows you to focus on the longer term and back haul infrastructure where it should be IMO.
Seems this is what MS spends their time doing these days:(
Or should I post the "brace yourself you haven't spent enough time with the OS meme"
Seriously the underlying OS changes are rock solid and great for the user and are sadly lost in the discussion over a GUI that should rightfully be reserved for tablets or convertible laptops.
Just because it's patented doesn't mean it will ever see the light of day in a working product.
Verizon realizes this is a public relations nightmare and that the backlash would be so ridiculous it would cave their corporate head quarters phone system, along with calls to Senate and House hearings and the CEO's head.
So stand down people we are not on some slippery slope here.
If and only if they actually submit a product for testing, should anyone get worked up by this.
The mobile site is god awful slow and laggy where by a dedicated app would probably solve this much like XDA's portal application to access their forums./. could have or should have had one by now....
and will likely never will. From the last/. on this if people are hiring you based on your "klout" you should probably be looking elsewhere for a better managed place to work.
If you are looking for free shit all the time then I guess a higher "Klout" score might actually be worth something to you...
due to market conditions and lack of infrastructure.
This will never see the light of day in the average home for 10+ years if not longer. People and broadcasters are still upgrading to 740p and 1080p(i) what makes anyone think this will come of anything?
Will John Q drop obscene money on televisions that will need to be the size of a wall to reveal all this new resolution and color palette?
Sadly more than likely no one will care save for a few videophiles.
Count on it...then you don't 'Own' the router you merely pay a fee for the hardware but it wont do much until it connects to the internet to get the latest version of the software.
And if you somehow get a 3rd party software to run on it they could then start DMCA proceedings against you.
They won't provide services or updates unless you allow to remain connected to the internet.
They will absolutely monetize your routing history

I for one WANT it to be used and enjoy the SPEED I gain from having all my pages cached in RAM where they appear instantly at the click of a button...
Idle RAM is useless and boasting how your system has 16gigawatts of unused RAM just serves to show me how small your epenis really is...

I see this more as a self serving promotion by someone about to go belly up and needing the publicity to score someones funding.
Is what is the number of cycles before a given bit can no longer be changed. Will this outlast the current SSD write cycle limitations that are getting smaller not longer with the ever shrinking die size thus resulting in having to have 2x or 4x the actual advertised RAM installed to meet ever increasing MTBF rates..

Except both of you are incorrect. There wasn't this massive mainframe competition. IBM was THE company. The others attempted to gain entry into their already owned MF market and at every corner because IBM had already a leg up on virtually all comers they used predatory practices and price pressure and refusal to cross license and highly restrictive software licenses to drive out any competition. They further forced any existing customer down a lengthy road of renewal negotiations if any outside big iron suddenly showed up. IBM is the master at that when it comes to their MF products. If had a nickle for every time I had to sit at the table with the MF reps as they squeezed out anyone who attempted to break into our shop id be a much wealthier person.
If you think there was lots of competition in the 90s you are highly mistaken. The few that were left held little niche market share and did so only due to the remaining anti-trust rules in place at the time. That market share then evaporated when clustered computing and personal computing took hold and not just marketing. The remaining companies could not compete against with IBM with that drop in sales and Microsft. UNIX systems too played a key role in eroding what was already slim sales of these firms compared to IBM. Even IBM suffered dearly in its MF division but was buoyed by its software and PC sales.
Having lived through this before and seen these claims before one would think IBM was all saintly and made all these massive improvements....mmmmmm no. The MF of today is relatively unchanged from the MF of 20 years ago. There have been upgrades and improvements for sure but no massive leaps. Newer silicon and face lift of the OS.
These claims that MS does not have a monopoly must come from those who apparently doent work with MF. They most certainly have a LOCK on the MAINFRAME market place and in the high TPS world, mainframe is still king.F ind a large bank of trading floor that doesn't have one locked away churning away. You might want to re-read that article you posted as well....IBMs z accounted for 9% of server revenue but what percent of MAINFRAME revenue where they certainly enjoy a monopoly position. When its comes to certain transaction based systems, GA systems etc. its mainframe or go out of business.
For the record IBM does indeed make some very good MF products that can in some cases be absolutely the king of reliability but it comes at a very very steep cost, kept artificially high due to their dominant and in many cases predatory position in that market.
IBM is a monopoly. There are no other competitors in the mainframe business. IBM just doesnt make the OS they make the hardware as well. They essentially broke every other competitors back by either pricing them out or buying them up. They became the defacto big iron supplier in the world and abused said position every time anyone came out with better faster or cheaper hardware than them, history has repeated itself.
This position allows them to dictate the market place and pretty much kill off invention and improvement.
The pc market place is full of competitors duking it out to make a buck and gain your business as a hardware supplier.
The mainframe you have a choice for both the OS and hardware it is IBM or...
