RPi5 is definitely a huge overkill. Plus, it needs a power adapter, probably some cooling, and some space to seat it. Pi Zero 2W + micro usb ethernet adapter works perfect for Pi-Hole, and has an almost invisible physical footprint: Small e

Could wireless USB be a case of "if all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail"? [1] I.e. the effort was driven by the USB-IF [2] that happens to be more hardware than software oriented. So they were eager to deliver a

USB dongles are popular because the mouse is paired with the dongle. This comes handy in a number of use-cases (servicing a different computer, hot-desk office, non tech-inclined people). It is true though that USB interference for wireless

TBF, the picture in TFA only shows rack-mounted Synology devices, where noise is not really a concern. Synologoy SMB/SOHO NAS devices should not be affected by the drive lockdown (for now).

I believe this might have been the case in the past, where (a) sensor resolutions were lower - so the raw images less bulky, (b) camera CPUs were slower - so you would like to take them out of the equation. These days, the bottleneck for ac
