NAS roundup: Best network attached storage options for Mac, iPhone, and iPad users
I found that an encrypted backup is even better, in case you have to deal with ransomware attacks.Maybe it is worth taking in consideration units that offer snapshot duplications with complex encryption keys.
I had to face a ransomware attack a couple of years ago: both the file server and the backup unit, which was a standard NAS, were completely defeated – no hope to retrieve anything from either unit. The Syneto unit that was sitting on the same network got under fire too - but only the last snapshot was accessible via the network, so it was the only one that got corrupted.
I've successfully restored the previous snapshot in less than 15 minutes (I keep 24 daily snapshots on this machine) and got everything back.... it was really a life saver.
Since then I rely on a three-level backup: a standard Time Machine on a thunderbolt drive, an encrypted backup via Carbon Copy on the Syneto unit and the icloud stuff on another level. Of course the management of the above is not the simplest, but it seems a fine cover...

Apple's iPhone 11 Pro used to film Selena Gomez music video 'Lose You To Love Me'
I'm not sure this will help iPhone sales. How bad are all these crossfades?

Microsoft's Stranger Things campaign creates a fake legacy for Windows 1.0
Agree. I was there, even as a kid, and to me an 'Asteroids' nostalgia makes far more sense than a Windows 1.0 one.

Compared: Facebook Libra and Calibra vs Apple Pay
Again, it's Facebook; I won't ever trust them. And that's the end of it from my personal point of view.

Apple plans new 16- to 16.5-inch MacBook Pro in 2019 aimed at pro designers
OK, OK, but... why did you write everything in bold?davgreg said:I have pretty much given up on Apple laptops and recently purchased a Surface Pro as a “real computer” companion to my iPad Pro 12.9.
My bet is that the mainstream laptop market is or will soon be a shrinking ice cube. The new iPad Pro and iOS still are not a replacement for a laptop, but are getting closer. I really think Apple is missing an opportunity by not making a Surface like device that has full file access based on either Mac OS or iOS.
It is still early days with the Surface Pro, but there is a lot to like. My i5 Surface Pro (6) cost less than my iPad Pro- quite a bit less. The power adapter set up is sucky, but the unit is very nice and boots faster than any Mac or iPad I have seen.
