The best home NAS is down to its lowest price for Black Friday

I ranked Synology's DiskStation DS220+ as the best home NAS because of its hardware, feature-set, and software. The DS220+ is a 2-bay enclosure with two drive bays that can hold 16TB of storage each, dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, and two USB 3.0 ports.

The NAS is powered by the Intel Celeron J4025, offering considerable upgrades over its predecessor when it comes to intensive tasks like Plex and office-related use cases. In short, if you're new to a home server or want a 2-bay enclosure to store your local media collection and back up photos and videos from your phones and cameras, you cannot go wrong with the DS220+.

The DS220+ retails for $300, but right now, it is on sale for $240, a $60 discount that brings the NAS down to its lowest price yet. This model only went on sale once before for Prime Day, and then it was sold out in a few hours, so if you've been waiting for this deal to go live, act now. You'll find the enclosure at most major retailers, and if you want to buy from Newegg, you'll need to use code BFFRDY38 to get it down to $240.

$240 at Amazon $240 at Newegg $240 at B&H

The DiskStation DS220+ is a 2-bay NAS enclosure that gives you everything you're looking for in a home server. It is ideal for backing up photos and videos from your connected devices, it does a great job as a Plex media server, and you get a wide array of software features that give it an added edge.

The differentiator for the DS220+ is the software; DSM 7.0 brings a fresh design and a slew of exciting new features, and it is the best software you'll find in this category. That alone makes the NAS worthy, and when you combine the fact that you can now pick it up for $240, the DS220+ is right up there as one of the best Black Friday NAS deals.

Android 12 will bring the end of third-party share menus

Apps like Sharedr will no longer be able to replace the default share dialog. What you need to know Third-party apps will not be allowed to replace the Android share menu in Android 12. You will no longer be able to set apps like Sharedr as the default. Google says it never intended to allow third-party apps to replace the official Sharesheet. One of Android 12 's biggest highlights is the new Material You design language, which brings major changes to nearly every key UI component. Android 12 will also introduce a major change to the way users share links and photos, according to a report from XDA Developers . On Android 11 , Google allows third-party apps and OEMs to fully customize the Android Sharesheet, which is the reason why the share dialog differs from one app to another. It is even possible to completely bypass the official Android Sharesheet by setting an app like Sharedr as the default Sharesheet. In addition to providing a more consistent experience, Sharedr

The new Amazon Fire HD 10 is growing into a viable productivity tablet

An already good entertainment device finally gets productive. Amazon has been busy churning out a whole host of new devices and upgrades to existing devices over the past several months. Earlier this year, I reviewed the excellent Echo Buds (2nd Gen) , and even the fantastic Echo Frames (2nd Gen), have since been updated to include options with sunglass and blue light filtering lenses . In early May, we also learned that Amazon was refreshing the Echo Show 5 and Echo Show 8 and that it was even rolling out its first Echo Show for kids . While newer and more novel products like the ones mentioned above often see a faster update cycle, more mature devices like Kindle e-readers and Fire tablets go longer between new versions. In fact, the last update to the Fire HD 10 line was back in 2019, so, understandably, Amazon was ready to reinvigorate its flagship tablet. Not only did it update the specs and colors on the Fire HD 10, but it also gave us a second version in the Fire HD 10 Plu

Google Announces Support for Account Passkeys

Google today announced that it is introducing support for passkeys, providing an easier and more secure login method for Google accounts. Apple integrated passkeys into iOS with the launch of iOS 16 , and it is also available in iPadOS 16.1 and later as well as macOS Ventura . Passkeys are an industry standard developed by the FIDO Alliance and the World Wide Web Consortium, so Google's passkey integration will work on Apple devices as well as on other devices that support the feature. As Google notes: Last year — alongside FIDO Alliance, Apple and Microsoft — we announced we would begin work to support passkeys on our platform as an easier and more secure alternative to passwords. And today, ahead of World Password Day, we've begun rolling out support for passkeys across Google Accounts on all major platforms. They'll be an additional option that people can use to sign in, alongside passwords, 2-Step Verification (2SV), etc. Passkeys are both easier to use and more
