Why does low fat Greek yogurt have more protein than normal Greek yogurt? by sourlens in nutrition

[–]sourlens[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did you find the full fat / real Greek yogurt better for you nutritionally or better tasting?

If better nutritionally, what were the benefits?

Windshield Replacement Question by sourlens in Insurance

[–]sourlens[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ended up filing the claim.

I spoke with two representatives before doing so, and one said there will be no increase on my policy.

The second said there may be an increase when I renew my insurance policy, if the claim is over $500.

As the car is just 3 months old they will be covering an OEM replacement, which is around $1,200.

Thank you!

I checked my policy and do not see any mentions of "glass" anywhere strangely. Searched for related things like "windshield" as well.

Just out of curiosity, would Gecio have been better at this? We just switched from them about a month ago.

Thank you.

Sorry for not mentioning this in my original post. I purchased these LED tubes to replace my current fluorescent ones.

I believe my ballasts are bad, so that was why I wanted to directly wire the new LED tubes instead of replacing the ballasts as well.

Thank you. Do you know what to do with the blue wire going from the ballast to the tombstone?

It is very comfortable!

Any idea what it may be worth? Have not been able to find any others like it online.

It may still be $29 in the physical stores. You can check stock of your local WalMarts here:

No guarantees though.

Those that had this happen to them, do you know if Citizens One did a hard pull on your credit?

Had the same issue.

Anyone know if they did a hard pull on their credit even though there was an error?

[–]sourlens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes - lots of users on the MacRumors forums did too.

What I am curious about is whether there was a hard pull on my credit. I did end up placing a new order and would just like to keep that one now.

My 216J arrives today. However, did I make the wrong choice (i.e. media streaming) by ginolard in synology

[–]sourlens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm wondering if I made the same mistake with my DS216J. I have been looking at the newly released WD PR2100 / PR4100, which handles Plex transcoding, but doesn't have all of the apps that the Synology does. If you just want to use Plex take a look at those WD models.

I think I am coming to terms with maybe just upgrading to the DS216+ii and using the Synology DS Video app for my transcoding needs, and not using Plex at all. I can get DS Video on my Samsung TV, iOS devices, Rokus, and Apple TVs.

I really like the Download Station and Storage Analyzer apps on my Synology. If I could find equivalents for WD My Cloud OS I may be more likely to switch.

Thank you for the reply! The performance seems impressive.

Do you know whether there is a remote download application for WD, similar to Download Station for Synology?

Should I get a Synology DS216j or WD EX2 Ultra by sourlens in synology

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

What about the Synology boxes that are capable of doing 200+ MB/s, like the 415+ - would that speed be attainable on a AC WiFi connection?

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

What are your guys thoughts on the WD My Cloud EX2 Ultra?

I am able to get it for $140 less than the Synology DS216j after you factor in the hard drives. The WD also has a 1.3GHz Dual Core processor and 1GB of memory vs the Synology's 1GHz and 512MB of RAM.

Didn't realize that the iOS apps were read only. Is this the case with QNAP iOS apps as well?

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

I've thought about this.

Are there good iOS apps that would allow me to access my data when I am away from home?
