Yesterday we went to my parents house. A very small part of the impetus for that trip was my,

it was to try to diagnose and at the very least collect my busted synology. If you recall from last episode,

I had had a or they had had I guess I should say a power strike and apparently my

synology that was sitting over there

that a friend had given to me had died

and I was very sad about it.

And so we get to my parents and the thing is dead.

It is very dead.

And I open it up up everything looks fine. So I think well unlike the bigger

synologies that I've that I've used or I am using this doesn't take one of those you know I triple E or I a whatever whatever we had the same

conversation market last time I forget the name of the little connector but in this case

it has an actual brick in it I guess because the the

analogy is physically fairly small and so the power supply is external and I

didn't remember this because the last time I'd really put any eyes on the

technology was like a year or two ago when I gave it to my parents and said please hook this up and never look at it again.

So I thought to myself, self, what if it's just the power supply? And I ordered a new power supply which

arrived an hour or so ago and I'll give you one guess what's back in better than

ever baby. So it turns out not that. That was it, just power supply? Yep not that was it just power supply.

Yep that was it.

Yeah, it's always the power supply those stupid bricks.

I don't kind of, back when I used to have external hard drives,

so they would all come with those things and I think every single one I had quote-unquote go bad it was the power supply every single one.
