This episode opens with a bombshell: Synology finally reversed its drive compatibility policy for NAS units, allowing IT pros and businesses to use third-party drives again—a move that’s sent shockwaves through online forums and social media. I discuss the implications for MSPs and what it means for client storage setups. Next, DattoCon coverage reveals Kaseya’s acquisition of Inky, integrating cutting-edge AI email security into its MSP platform. I share community feedback, weigh pros and cons, and offer practical advice on adapting your stack.
Listener shoutouts go to Diana Giles, Kyle Kenyon, and Troy Casper, with peer forum updates and troubleshooting tales. Personal gripes about vendor portals and credit card changes bring real MSP business struggles to the surface. Finally, hands-on reviews of Datto and EnGenius Wi-Fi access points showcase practical insights for network management. Upcoming events like ASCII Cup and IT Nation round
