My use case:

I have a macbook m1 pro 32gb and an iPhone. Both has lots of images and videos I did accumulate over years. It has pics of my trips and also material that I use for video editing in my social media channels. The pictures are important as they are from my family.

My gf has an iphone and a macbook. Her macbook is M3 pro

Hardware I have access for:

I have a ASUS TUF Gaming FX505 with AMD Ryzen 5 3550H, GeForce GTX 1650 and 2TB HDD and a 512GB SSD

The Asus laptop hasn’t been used for nearly 2 years. I used it as a ARR server but stopped later when I moved to a new place. Also I hate the sound of fans when it is running.

My goal:

Have a place that I can store all our media (it is around 2 TB for both of us, but will scale in the future)
We can access it from home as we need (the same network)
It would be good to classify the images somehow based on location or people. I know that me and my gf will have it easy in the future and not filter things and have this NAS (if it will be) as our trash-bag.

Research I have made.

I shouldn’t go with 2 bay NAS as it isn’t the best. People realize later that they need a 4 bay NAS so the 2-bay is just wasted money.
Using Immich is the best all in one solution for syncing the media from all our devices. It has also AI features for facial recognition.
ChatGPT recommended UGREEN NASync DXP4800 Pro or DXP4800 Plus

My budget

Around 800 euros for the setup not including the storage. My budget for the storage is another 800. I live in the Netherlands. It is more important to invest money in the storage because family media is important and I want storage solution that lives for long.

I saw some people buy an SSD for caching and HDD for RAID. I don’t know if the NAS or DAS I will get is going to have these.

Questions:

Based on my use case, what hardware do you recommend for me or a setup?
1. Should I go with a mini pc and a DAS?
2. Should I go only with a 4bay NAS and let immich do the AI processing on my macbook (or use the Asus laptop) as it is at home most of the time?
3. Other options you recommend .... ?
What storage solutions do you recommend?

UI problem in VScode extension

In VScode when using codex, I see the horizontal scroll bar all the time. If i scroll (As in the screenshot) I see nothing in it. It is just annoying to have this bar all the time. I think it is the same bar as the "Sources" one in codex mac app or the thinking process is now shifted to be on the side

Disclosure: I'm not an audiophile by any means. I got the headphones just for the sake of noise cancellation while i'm programming and Spotify on quality "high". Both of the headphones are good for these use cases.

I wanted to do this review for quite long time as I was confused if I should even upgrade in the first place or not. A guide like this would have helped me.

I used Q30 for about 3 years. I changed the ear pads for it 2 times (tip: don't buy the replacement from amazon buy it from Alibaba instead. I got from both and Alibaba was cheaper) and I was comfortable with it as much as I can get. The problem was the weak material for the Q30. I didn't do sports with it and i only used it when cycling (welcome to the Netherlands) but I didn't have accidents or something harsh with them.

I did try to fix the sides (check the pics) with super glue, but it didn't work. Maybe I used the wrong type. I decided to wait for Black Friday to get the Space Q45 and see if it is worth it to even upgrade. I saw that both of them had the same price with the blue of Q45 being a little cheap (I mostly wear it inside so the colour isn't a big deal for me) and it was a good option.

I still use the Q30 at work, while i use Q45 at home. I don't use it intensively as I used with Q30, but close to it. I got AirPods pro 3 and I switch between it and the Q45.

I would say the sound of Q30 and Q45 is kind of the same. The biggest difference are the cushions for sure. The Q45 feels more foamy as if they take the shape of my head more.

Would I have gone with Q30 if it was cheeper? Yes as I don't see the point of upgrading what was already working fine with me.

The radius of Q45 is better as I got between three floors and it was still connected to my laptop (Apple M1)

Note: Some of my friends did buy Q30 and they had the same problem of headband being worm off after sometime. Mine took it even an extra step and had the hinges connections on the side broken. I added a picture of them also

Feel free to ask me anything you want.
