Synology’s DS918+ is the ultimate NAS

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

These days, even the average consumer relies so many devices and uses so much computing power over the course of a normal day that they really need something more than a basic external hard drive and the like. Because of everything from a reliance on multiple connected devices to keeping up with all your photos and documents, streaming 4K video, general data storage and so much more, a growing number of users are turning to NAS solutions.

And with a storage box like the Synology DiskStation DS918+, from a Taiwanese company started by two former Microsoft execs that’s especially known for its NAS devices, it’s easy to see why people are making that choice – and deciding on the DS918+, specifically.

We’re about to find out how prepared NASA and FEMA are for an asteroid strike

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

For years, big budget science fiction flicks have shown us highly stylized end-of-the-world scenarios involving asteroids. Sometimes the heroes have a plan to avert disaster, and sometimes they don’t, but you can bet that if (more like when) a rogue space rock eventually threatens humans lives, NASA will be on top of it.

This week, NASA, FEMA, and their scientific partners in countries around the world will put decades of research and knowledge to work as they simulate a full-scale asteroid impact scenario. The idea is to test the lines of communication between scientists, government entities, and disaster response teams in a carefully choreographed exercise that could save countless lives in the event of an actual asteroid strike.

This leak might be our first look at a real OnePlus 7 Pro

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

OnePlus will unveil its brand new phones in a matter of weeks, and we already think we know everything there is to know about these devices. The Chinese handset maker will launch three new phones as part of the OnePlus 7 series, including a regular model, a more expensive OnePlus 7 Pro, and a Pro 5G version. We have a pretty good idea of what these phones will have to offer and how expensive the Pro model will be. We’ve also seen plenty of renders that show the alleged designs of the OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro. While those renders may be accurate, they’re still not official images of the handset. But a new leak from China shows us what appears to be the first public sighting of the OnePlus 7 Pro.

This past weekend brought us two of the most hotly anticipated releases of 2019. After a year of waiting, we finally got to see Avengers: Endgame, a film that shattered all box office records by taking in a monster $1.2 billion haul so far. It’s an emotional, epic superhero adventure that has no rival. Then, on Sunday night, the battle we’ve wanted to see for a decade finally arrived in Game of Thrones. Episode 3 delivered a great clash that easily eclipses any other battles from Game of Thrones or rival TV shows. And as was the case in Avengers 4, some key characters died in this one, and we’re about to detail all the main characters we just lost. Needless to say, you should stop reading right here if you haven’t yet seen Game of Thrones season 8, episode 3, because significant spoilers follow below.
