Yes and choosing a NAS brand is not something you change your mind like switching an android phone brand after 2-3years. This will stick quite a bit.


Yep. I’d already started moving things out of Docker on my DS923+ and onto RaspberryPis, of all things, which are perfectly powerful for my needs. Synology’s police shoved me toward planning and implementing alternatives as I vowed never, ever, to spend a penny on such a locked down device. It’s going to be hard for them to un-ring that bell.

In a few years, when it’s time to replace this NAS, if they’ve demonstrated that they’re serious about doing right by their customers, I may replace it with another Synology. And if not, I’ll have already migrated my services off it such that I’ll only need a “dumb” NAS and can choose from any of their competitors.


(Amendment: Synology's policy, not police. If they have police, so far they haven't shown up at my house and told me to stop it.)


A bad reputation never goes away either. Trust once lost is not something that returns easily. Some customers might forgive a company but many wont and any business willing to be this scummy will almost certainly do something else (or the same thing again in a few years).


Also for me the first time i hear about this. There goes the next hour.


Please report back, as many of us don't have an hour. We rely on soldiers like you! Thanks!


It's mostly what heliodex said, that it's a copypasta when ppl need big text. There's also a compression meme around the bee and other movies (on yt: bee movie in 10s or it gets faster everytime X). But unlike i thought in the beginning it's not a zlib specific joke.


Yeah, the movie became a bit of a meme at some point and somehow shoehorning in "the entire bee movie script" into random places became a part of that.


It's not really because it's "in audio range" but rather "in a range which your phone speaker can transmit" which "happens" to be in audio/hearing range we can mostly hear for obvious reasons.


Thank you, after clicking the third(!!) X button i had enough.


It's literally in the title
