WD's MyCloud Web services, that are used to access, setup and manage their local MyCloud NAS Devices, have gone offline, leaving Customers locked out of accessing the Data stored on their local NAS Drives. Summary WD's MyCloud, local NAS Devices, where customers can store Data on their local network connected NAS Devices, seem to be fully reliant on cloud services to function at all. As of the time of writing, the WD MyCloud Web services have been down for over 12 hours, leaving customers unable to access data on their local devices. Looking at the Service Status of the outage, just about all functionality of these devices is completely broken - status.mycloud.com While customers can configure to enable access to the device locally on the network without the use of the mycloud cloud utility. THIS FUNCTION CAN ONLY BE ENABLED VIA THE CLOUD UTILITY!!!! So, for those of us who didn't foresee such issues, and just expected that we would be able to access out data locally if something ever happened to the cloud service! We are all completely out of luck! One Customer of the WD forum wrote; My thoughts Given how completely the functionality of these devices has been broken after WD's cloud services went offline, it certainly does make me worry about how much our devices are reliant on cloud-based services, and when these services go down or when they are no longer supported, what happens to all our own personal data. Especially considering this is a device that is installed and connected on the customers local network, such reliance on cloud services is almost like planned obsolescence getting backed into the device from the beginning, Sources https://status.mycloud.com/os4 https://community.wd.com/t/my-cloud-home-service-outage-02-apri-2023/282845 https://support-en.wd.com/app/answers/detailweb/a_id/34991/~/how-to-enable-local-network-access-to-data-on-my-cloud-home-using-the-dashboard

LOL, should probably post this because I fell for it my self. ECC memory mining. Dont even worry about my post in the What should I review Next Forum. It never happened!

LOL, Dont mind me. Just made myself look like an idiot. Just realised it was an April fools Joke.

@LinusTech This looks pretty interesting. Would be a great follow on to your Minning Adventure. ECC memory minning. This guy seems to have an interesting set up.

if its a cheapo PSU it may say 500W but under load it probably wont deliver anything near that.

What is Hard drive "mining" and how does it work? I know its not actualy mining. i.e. Burstcoin and Storj

I dont think they sold Refenence 1050's. At least I dont remember ever seeing any on sale.

Id actually love to see a video, perhaps as an April fools joke, on some of the old connectors that have been replaced or are no longer used. i.e. Fire wire, Parallel and dare I say it the optical Drive, XD.

Just kidding, I'm actually listening to a mix of my favourite songs:

Perhaps the greatest collection of songs out there, XD!!!

RGB would have brought more performance benefits. Gosh Dammit FSP, Get your act together, you should know this by now.

The real question is, did HTC revive my beloved headphone jack?

So does Apple care about its users privacy or not? I guess we will never know. XD.
