649: Prove It With Cameras

I've done Marco's favorite thing in the entire world. You bought something? Well, yeah. Well, so it's both your sarcastic It was a sarcastic. Well, I meant it as sarcastic. I meant it as sarcastic, but it's actually also genuine. I did buy something, which is Marco's favorite thing. But your least favorite thing is that literally fifty minutes ago, I basically tore apart my entire desk. Oh. So if any of this recording works and or if I sound even remotely decent, success. But who knows? If I sound like garbage, it's not Marco's fault. It's not John's fault. It's my fault. Blame the third party RAM. No. It's not third party RAM. Not this time. No. I finally just this evening, I finally received the shipment of the CalDigit t s five plus that I had ordered a couple of weeks back. Oh. And I am very excited. I have only used it for a few minutes, and my initial review is it's just like the t s four but with faster Ethernet and a few more ports. Right. But so you didn't really change anything. You just swapped out one component with the component that it does the same job made by the same company with one bigger number at the end? Yes. But it doesn't sound as dramatic that way, John. Alright. Well, I we'll see how dramatic it is. Correct. All I can say is you sound fine over Zoom. So worst case scenario, we can use that backup track for you. That that sounds good. No. I mean, initially, it seems like it's pretty nice. There like I said, there seem to be a few more ports in the back. There is gigabit Ethernet, which is exciting or excuse me, 10 gigabit Ethernet. The the t s four had two and a half gigabit Ethernet. That being said, I quick I did a quick iPerf three speed test between the Synology and my and my Mac. And and it was not as impressive as I would have hoped, but I I wouldn't be surprised if I have old wires between, you know, me and my, and my Switch. Oh, actually, and I might not even be no. I think I am on a 10 gigabit port on the, on the switch. But nevertheless, I I have some playing to do, but I didn't have time before the recording. But, yeah, initial results are this extraordinarily overpriced well, maybe not overpriced. Extraordinarily expensive, costly. Is that the Merlinism? This extraordinarily costly, CalDigit dock is very nice. And, I might be reselling my t s four to a local friend, but if not, and you're interested in one, feel free to reach out. So have you considered the possibility that the Synology hard drives can't actually serve I have. 1.2 gigabytes per second? I have. And that's a very, very good point. I don't think I have anything else that's 10 gigabit at the moment, though. …
