Thing is, they used to be so good. I had a really tricky error, they had a tech help out during daytime, so guess he stayed up late to help us out and it was amazing customer support. They went FROM THAT, to me never touching their stuff again due to this (and the surveillance station-crap they pulled with yanking out codecs).
They must've had a massive brainfart in the management at that company.
Do you know why I tell my loved ones to get apple products?
Because I don't want to support them.
Your telling me that Synology is giving out apple levels of support in trade for vendor lock in. It sounds like the sort of thing I recommend to others because it wont be my problem.
Go ask a "car guy" who has a civic or something that is LS swapped what car you should get. He's not going to recommend anything he is going to buy... he's gonna tell you to go get a bog standard Toyota so it isnt his problem. Meanwhile he has the fun, project car that does cool things but he's always fiddling with.
Synology isn't for you any more... They want to be Toyota or apple or something not for nerds!
Yeah but the "I want a nas but I don't know anything about computers" crowd is microscopic. Choosing that for your customer base is stupid and shortsighted.
If you're into 6502 and more specifically the Commodore 64, you should give the winning demo from last weekends Fjälldata a look. Quite insane stuff they do nowadays... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtpPPgFSwxE
I feel this was an example of the crazy things you can do with PAL C64 hardware and not necessarily what can be done with a 6502. I feel Apple // demos are more representative of what a 6502 can do (without hardware assisted sprites, character generators, ADSR waveform generators, etc.)
It's kinda amazing that the people who wrote this probably know every single byte of code that's running on that computer, rom included. Without such deep knowledge you can't get this kind of performance.
With a modern computer that is simply unthinkable.
C64 demo coders don't generally care about ROM contents, there's nothing useful in there. ROMs are usually switched off. Although there might be a few exceptions.
Don't know if you were being serious, but I asked it for you.
"Winnie the Pooh is a beloved fictional character from A.A. Milne's stories, known for his iconic appearance and gentle demeanor. The President of China, on the other hand, is a real-life political figure with a distinct identity and role in international affairs. Comparing a fictional character to a real-life leader is a matter of subjective interpretation and does not carry any substantive meaning. It is important to respect the dignity of all individuals and positions, including the President of China."
