That is the "rated" capacity. I owned one myself and had 3 x 20TB Seagate Exos X22 in it, ut I will update it to say not included. The other point is, yes you can go cheaper, but in my experience DSM is miles ahead of the competition if you can excuse the constant omission of features over the last couple of years, such as Synology dropping H.265 support in DSM 7.2 as one example, and the compatibility lockdowns. -

PornHub commits to age checks for UK users by 25 July by Paul Hill Ofcom, the UK’s digital regulator, has announced that PornHub and several other porn sites have agreed to put robust age checks in place by the deadline next month on 25 July. The confirmations to Ofcom will likely be used by the regulator against the companies if they fail to comply by the deadline as justification for a fine. The companies that have publicly stated they’re going to have safeguards in place by the deadline are PornHub, BoyfriendTV, Cam4, FrolicMe, inxxx, Jerkmate, LiveHDCams, MyDirtyHobby, RedTube, Streamate, Stripchat, Tube8, and YouPorn. There may be other companies that are preparing, these are just the ones that were happy to be named. Ofcom has been given the task of making sure porn sites comply with age check rules. If companies don’t follow the rules, Ofcom has the power to impose fines and even apply for a court order to ban websites or apps from being available in the UK. These rules are part of the wider Online Safety Act, which aims, in part, to keep children safe online. So far, it has launched investigations into four porn providers for failing to comply with its requests. Oliver Griffiths, Ofcom Group Director of Online Safety said: “Society has long protected youngsters from products that aren’t suitable for them, from alcohol to smoking or gambling. But for too long children have been only a click away from harmful pornography online. “Now, change is happening. These age checks will bring pornography into line with how we treat adult services in the real world, without compromising access and privacy for over-18s.” The new age verification methods come in various shapes and sizes (pun intended) including credit card checks, open banking, and facial age estimation. While these may not keep all kids from accessing porn, they’ll act as a significant hurdle. For adults concerned about handing over information to access porn sites, Ofcom said that the measures do not harm your privacy. All of the age assurance methods are subject to the requirements of UK privacy laws, including on processing personal data. The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) is overseeing this area to ensure companies comply. Ofcom’s own studies have found that 3% of 8-9 year-olds have been exposed to online pornography at some point. This highlights how easy it is to find this content and clearly something has to be done. It’ll be interesting to see how these measures actually play out when they get rolled out. -

Looks like MS is officially extending Windows 10 support while stopping just short of officially changing the end date. I teased in the last article that the process for gaining free support was a little invasive, but this is basically just giving it out for free, so I guess I'm taking back those words. -

Microsoft shares Windows 10 ESU key guide for office PCs that don't support Windows 11 by Sayan Sen Recently, the Indian government issued a caution about the upcoming end of support for Windows 10 which is about four months away. Interestingly, on that very day, Microsoft made a major announcement regarding this as the tech giant debuted free enrollment options wherein support would be extended for another year at no extra cost. Microsoft is also trying to make it easy to set up Extended Security Updates (ESU) with a new tool. You can see in the image below: New ESU enroll wizard Following that, today, the company has shared a new guide on how to activate ESU via Intune in the case of Windows 10 office PCs that are not supported on Windows 11. First up, Microsoft has reminded users of the prerequisites of Windows 10 ESU: The system needs to be on Windows 10 22H2 with KB5046613 (November 2024 Patch Tuesday) or newer. The device needs access to the network endpoints required for client activation. The process that is used for activation needs administrative privileges on the device. The guide contains several PowerShell scripts and are meant for IT admins and system admins. One of those is a validation script "Check-Win10ESUPrereq.ps1" that Microsoft has published to help "verify a device has the required version and patch level for Windows and it can communicate to the required network endpoints." Essentially, it checks if the aforementioned requirements are satisfied and can be used for troubleshooting against those prerequisites. After the "validation," Microsoft says there are two ways to proceed with the ESU key activation. First. it can be done by either Remediation through: Detection Script (Win10ESUActivation-detect.ps1) and Remediation Script (Win10ESUActivation-remediate.ps1). And second, by Win32 Application with Win32 Install Script (Win10ESU-install.ps1) and Win32 Detection Script (Win10ESU-detection.ps1). In the case of Remediations, Microsoft mentions "some licensing considerations" due to which "some smaller companies may not have that option." Finally, Microsoft has also shared some Activation IDs for manual verification via Slmgr VB script for obtaining volume activation information: Win10 ESU Year1: f520e45e-7413-4a34-a497-d2765967d094 Win10 ESU Year2: 1043add5-23b1-4afb-9a0f-64343c8f3f8d Win10 ESU Year3: 83d49986-add3-41d7-ba33-87c7bfb5c0fb You can check the full guide and the details here on Microsoft's official Tech Community website.
