How is this different from the magnetometer accessible in a phone through and app like Phyphox?

This is bad but I feel like it’s more suitable to a subreddit than HN

Dear God, I hate the way the Windows 11 Start Menu takes slightly too long to open - long enough that I often accidentally close it again. You can actually watch CPU usage increase if you toggle it.
Never use the start menu anymore with CmdPal in PowerToys.
macOS spoiled me.
Seems to crash Safari on iOS, which is pretty rare for me tbh.
Not sure what did there but it could either be profitable or annoying for you.
For anyone interested, here is the flight playback:
Sub required.
I can wait for the Pete the Irish Pilot’s take though.

Good luck when it doesn't work though. I decided to take the hit and pay their exorbitant HDD prices on the basis that they came with a warranty etc and one of the drives failed within 3 months.
It was genuinely like pulling teeth. They demanded I ship the drive at my own expense from the UK to Germany and they didn't send a replacement for 3 weeks after it arrived at their warehouse. I had to buy another drive to repair my RAID cluster while waiting. Absolutely outrageous customer support.
You need to have pretty tight supply chains if you’re going to support warranty claims on something as consumable as disks. I don’t know who supplies their HDD and SSDs, but you’d want the relationship and traceability to be pretty robust.
Syno have always been a software company first, a hardware company second, and a storage media company last. It makes sense to try and control the full vertical, but they just don’t have enough clout to compete against the big enterprise companies.
I honestly believe the disk whitelisting thing was part of an attempt to overvalue the company in preparation for a sale.

I misremembered that Gen3 hardware had a spare PCIe slot, my bad.
You can either forego NVMe slots (which looks like an add-on card on [0]) and get the slot, or use one of the USB4 interfaces. OTOH, it has 2x10GbE on board, you can just media-convert it.
That seems like a lot of effort - is there no ability to boot a custom thumb drive that loads something like an SSH terminal, or dummy display for VNC?
