there could be almost 10 million borrowers in default in a few months
That's not a small amount. That's fucking with economic outlook levels.
As for their program to "guide" folks to repayment, I mean you might as well tell them that they're indentured servants at this point. Bully tactics are not going to work in an economy where it does not matter how much or little credit you have.
And I highly doubt this administration has any kinds of plans to gentle get folks back to repayment. I fully expect, "pay your loans or we will make you a slave for the rest of your life" to be their go to solution.
There's a correct manner to handle this, I expect Trump's administration to fuck it up every step of the way.
Synology's new Plus Series NAS
This isn't surprising. SOHO and middle tier business hardware installs have all kinds of these requirements from support vendors. Synology was sort of an outlier on those that just allowed mixed bag and it provide software calculations on hard drive health.
That they want knowns in their machines isn't surprising. I'm actually surprised it isn't a complete drop in any assurances if you BYOD.
These features in this product aren't home or consumer grade and indicating that it's for the "advance home user" is like saying Arch Linux is the advance MacOS. There's a lot of detail behind that statement that's not being addressed.
It is sad to see them go this route, but I cannot say it comes as a surprise. But honestly, if you're a hobbyist and see yourself using the features in this level of NAS, you're likely skilled enough as is to build your own. And honestly, you'll be happier building your own.
Careful with that. As a workaholic who was on this style for a while, I got introduced to a thing called refeeding syndrome while out on travel for the company.
Nothing too terrible in my case, but one moment I was on-site explaining some programmable logic controllers that needed to be installed at site and then next moment I'm waking up in a hospital.
Your body can get really used to one way of doing things that when you shock it in some other direction (like having a big meal with the facility you're at) it'll ask you to have a quick nap while it figures out what to do with what you just gave it.
Things that won't happen.
The salt from the ocean has corroded the bars, a good kick likely would open the windows. To secure the place would take years of rework or just outright tear down and rebuild.
The place hasn't had proper upkeep since the late 1960s and honestly very likely before then too. It wouldn't serve to secure anyone that various places out in the Midwestern desert regions wouldn't do multiple times better.
