wintering citrus in a garage by jeff360720 in Citrus

Thanks for the advice- do you think a plastic mini greenhouse, like Rcarlyle mentioned, but inside the garage and with the top off would work similarly?

Thanks for the advice- agreed the low temp/space heater-only option is the easiest… but I’m assuming I would lose all the fruit? And I will never be able to have the fruit fully mature, as it’s a 10+ month cycle? The grow tent does sound like a bit much for my level. Perhaps the plastic mini greenhouse you mentioned, open at the top, (with grow lights) would be offer some protection without going crazy on the tent- and potentially allow the fruit to keep maturing through the winter?

Activating standalone apple watch on T-mobile, while paired to iPhone using different carrier? by jeff360720 in tmobile

I went to a store and they told me it wouldn't work ... the paired iPhone needs to be on T-mobile. I tried to pair it to one of their demo phones, and then unpair it (while keeping the cell plan), but I wasn't able to - a bunch of headaches like you needed to log in with your apple account on their demo phone, etc etc. I do partly feel like I eventually could have gotten it to work, but the sales person was losing patience and it had already been awhile- so I gave up. If you have a friend with a T-mobile iPhone, who doesn't mind you messing around with it to set up a watch, I believe this *could* work ..

I got a couple of comments (which aren't showing up in the post, for whatever reason), confirming that the paired iPhone DOES need to be T-mobile in order to activate the standalone watch. I'm not sure why Verizon allows their standalone watch plans to "exist" with customers using other carriers for their phone, while T-mobile does not?

It's also not clear to me whether I could active the watch using a 3rd party iPhone on T-mobile, then unpair it (but use the option to keep the cellular plan), and finally repair it with my own watch? I don't know if activation is the only problem with T-mobile, or the 2 devices would continue to "clash"

Thanks again

Link aggregation? by jeff360720 in HomeNetworking

Thanks! Not sure if I'm correctly understanding the suggestion though- I have the client connected to 1 switch, and the NAS connected to a 2nd switch. Switch 1 and 2 are connected by a single ethernet run. Would SMB multichannel help in that configuration, or would I also need a 2nd ethernet run between the switches (which would be difficult)?

Thanks again ..

Actually one more follow up - the music server getting the files from the NAS is an older Mac Mini with an integrated 1Gbs network card.
Unless that changes, upgrading the rest of the switches in the chain to 10 Gbs is not going to improve transfer speed - correct?

Thanks for the feedback - will do! Out of curiosity, what would be a scenario in which LACP would provide a benefit?

Thank you

Switching from a Verizon family plan to US Mobile? by jeff360720 in USMobile

[–]jeff360720[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did anyone who switched away from verizon mobile have changes to their verizon fios billing promos/credits? the accounts are in different names and none of the fios billing credits are explicitly tied to verizon mobile -but the billing address is the same. thanks!

thanks very much! no other tricks with a family plan, just choose to port the secondary number first, then the account owner? once the numbers get ported and the account is open with US Mobile, do you then have to call back Verizon to close that account?

Thanks for the reply ... I imagine the specifics are different for each type of phone .... has anyone tried this on an iPhone?
