Not sure what you mean :)
My point was that the article was making false assumptions about Europeans are cooling on EVs as a whole based on one dataset which cherry picked Germany.
I will make a few assumptions of my own based on what I see: 1: Germany Auto industry have been show to make good EVS, they do huge hybrids 2: Germany have a culture of huge German SUV and Sedan cars (much like macho culture of Americans with trucks). 3: Germans love buying German cars 4: Germany subsidies it’s own cars more than imported cars (whatever the fuel type)
All that I would think would have a much higher effect on German buying trends than whatever EV vs CE vs Hybrid debate they try to pin the data on.
Again they have to show me legit data across Europe if you wanna show “a trend” in Europe, not one country which have a huge vested interest in not adopting imported EVs which are better/cheaper than their German counterparts.
I got myself a synology about 8 years ago for the same reasons you listed up. NAS storage local and out, while being able to run a few small services like Plex for streaming media (looking to try Jellyfin at some point).
There is a premium cost for the NAS but att I didn’t want to fiddle around building my own and then setting up something like Unraid, which atm is running on and old laptop and might be my pick for my NAS solution in a few years.
