Synology, maker of network-attached storage (NAS) devices, will seemingly remove advanced features from its Plus devices that are not using hard drives provided by, or certified by, Synology itself, starting with its 2025 lineup.

The company, which sees "significant benefits" to its "proprietary hard drive solution" (also per Google's t

In late August of 2022, after two years of remaining relatively healthy, COVID-19 finally caught up with me. Cut off from friendly gathering, working out, and even food that wasn’t protein bars, a completely normal thought occurred to me: “How about I install AIX on my old 486?” My 486 is, as I assume most extant 486es are today, a franken-486: a hodgepodge of pieces collected over the course of thirty years, ultimately a Ship of Theseus of opportunity (yard sales!) and necessity (30 year old c

As part of my work toward an upcoming post about a lost piece of very obscure Mac history that has finally been found, I’ve been playing around with old Apple-branded SCSI hard drives made by Quantum and Conner in the 1990s. What I’m about to describe is already common knowledge in the vintage computing world, but I thought it would be fun to share my take on it anyway. What I’m talking about is how a lot of these hard drives just refuse to work anymore. This is very common with old Quantum Pro

Looking to upgrade the storage in your desktop PC? Our favorite internal M.2 SSD is marked down with a healthy discount at Walmart, with the 2TB model marked down to $109, and the 1TB model marked down to just $64. Those prices are both a fair amount off their regular price, and are even slightly lower than the sale prices at some other retailers. With storage prices at a premium lately, it might be a good time to expand. WIRED contributor Scott Gilbertson put the SN770 through a battery of tes
