My NAS device has 80TB of usable space (6x16TB, raid5). Equivalent would've cost tens of thousands of dollars in drives alone.

Once 16TB SSDs are even available I will probably start migrating them in, but for now mechanical drives it is.

No it shouldn't.

No. This argument is stupid

Well one runs like a top. The other I need to replace the suspension on but the engine is sound.

It's a standard tactic for people who do networking things

Well she's at least as clever as that, so suppose you guys got a little in common.

Want an honest answer?

Onboard are >=2 bits of code. At least one of those is a specific system trained to recognize a "wake word". This specific system (ostensibly) doesn't send anything to an outside party. Its entire job is to recognize one wake phrase: Alexa, Ok Google, or Siri, and then if that wake phrase is used it responds and tells the second system to listen. As you can imagine, this is a pretty easy job to get right 80% of the time. So that can be put on a chip. So then it does its job, and it's the second system that sends everything to an internet service for whatever reason.

I own two cars. The newest is a 2013 because it's before touchscreens became standard equipment. I'm gonna limp those bitches along until either I die or that trend reverses.

That's a bad joke

Well considering I've been using it for 25 years and it literally has had its own Wikipedia page since basically Wikipedia existed.. no. It's not a buzzword. It's just a term used to describe an idea.
