How does it benefit Apple for their customers to enable their wifi? They are fairly explicit about NOT tracking everything you do and selling it. OTOH, it benefits the phone owner to use wifi, as it's lower power use than cellular the

A bunch of the morons out there who turn off wifi out in public because they read some random NYPost article about it "tracking" you, would then be bitching to Apple and/or their cell carriers about why their performance is s

Synology actually supports the old (non-encrypted) rsync protocol, too. On a trusted LAN, it runs much quicker that way than with rsync-over-ssh... I just finished slurping all of my files off an old Synology and onto a TrueNAS server. Unli

crs305 will choke when you start asking it to do NAT. it's a switch. It should be able to hardware-route between VLANs but it's not made for "home router" duties.

It was, until they came up with v4 around a year ago or so. It's possible to run v3 under Wine on a Mac but it was kind of clunky. V4 is much nicer (also runs on Linux too).
