🙄 Sounds a lot like this classic example where residents complained about headaches, rashes, nausea, tinnitus, etc from a cell tower, only for it to be revealed that it was not powered up:

“Headaches, nausea, tinnitus, dry burning itchy skins, gastric imbalances and totally disrupted sleep patterns…”
At the meeting Van Zyl agreed to turn off the tower with immediate effect to assess whether the health problems described by some of the residents subsided. What Craigavon residents were unaware of is that the tower had already been switched off in early October – six weeks before the November meeting where residents confirmed the continued ailments they experienced.
The thing Synology does which no competitor is yet doing is rock-solid stability.
I have a 10 year old Synology running as well as it did the day I bought it, and I’ve never needed to troubleshoot a single issue on it.
Until a competitor can match that I will still be buying Synology, with the increased drive price the cost I pay for that stability.
I think people underestimate the value of that.
