Negative. I am a meat popsicle.
They are probably betting they will make more money from businesses. I.e., actual pros, vs prosumer.
I do like my Synology NAS I bought 10 yrs ago, but these days there are more and better alternatives for people who dont really need to pay for the support and stability.
I have a Shield Pro and several Rokus, but my next will be the ONN 4K Pro. Hopefully it is $30 at black friday again, I’ll buy a few.

I suppose it is possible the submitter used AI uncredited, but I doubt it. For one thing, there are other images of the same models in the artist’s page. Second, the state of AI image generation when this was submitted (June 2023) was pretty terrible for things like this.
More likely is that the image “looks like AI” to you because most image generation models were trained on Common Crawl, which includes at least tens of thousands of curated (royalty-free) images. In other words, AI models generate images that look like stock photos because that is what they know how to generate.
Im normally the one wishing for less politics on Lemmy, but at some point you have to draw a line and define what you actually mean by “too political.” Of course, then you’d need to have someone curate media just for you that adheres to that standard… because simple keywords aint gonna cut it. Orrrr, I guess you could just cut off ALL new media.
