New features, new look
This past Thursday Synology announced the beta release of the latest version of their Diskstation OS, DSM 5.
DSM is the operating system used on Synology NAS products, of which I happen to be a fan, so without further ado here’s the bullet points on the new DSM.
Lossless audio on your computer.
MP3′s are great, they allow you to carry huge music collections around with you on smartphones and media players, and they allow you to store all of your music in one place so that you can stream it around your home network.
The net contracts for the first time in ages
Set alarms, turn off mobile data and more!
A lot of mobile devices now include NFC (Near Field Communication) as standard, but most people don’t really know what to do with it.
It’s like Guitar Hero…. But real
I’ve been trying to learn to play the guitar for about 7 years now, but if I’m honest I’ve never really gotten past a few basic chords and riffs.
Small, cheap, quick home networking
In the right circumstances Powerline devices are a great way to quickly and easy connect up your devices. The reason I say that is because the performance of such devices is heavily dependant on the quality of the cabling it’s used on. Most people have no issues, but in my experience you’ll never get anywhere near the speeds quoted on the box.
