"karma (in Hinduism and Buddhism) the sum of a person's actions in this and previous states of existence, viewed as deciding their fate in future existences." like I said, superstitious claptrap. we live once and then we die. there is no mystical force that judges us and metes out punishment in this or the non-existent past or future lives.

nope. that's just superstitious mumbo jumbo.

it possibly leads to the opposite, ie. a false sense of security. no need to check tyre pressure or the brakes if you've bought the right amount of garlands from the roadside vendor.

sleep apnoea maybe? that turned out to be the cause of my chronic tiredness after going through all sorts of blood tests.

I don't think so. I'm pretty sure it's baked into the Windows system. if you go to Task Manager and end the Explorer task then your taskbar will disappear and you won't be able to use the computer properly until you either restart the machine or restart Explorer via Task Manager.

Linux, or should I say GNU/Linux distros, are not very user-friendly for a lot of people. Windows comes pre-installed with a lot of (most?) non-Apple hardware and OEM Windows licenses aren't very expensive so the buyer isn't getting reamed like you think. Most people aren't particularly tech-savvy and it takes a fair bit of knowledge to load a Linux distro onto a compatible machine. I use Windows because I like it better than any of the dozen or so Linux distros I've extensively tested. ps. I ran Linux Mint inside Oracle VBox at one point to act as a file server for a buddy of mine who is in love with rsync. so I have much more exposure to the ecosystem then just an average user. I want to love it but it just rubs me the wrong way.

his cuz is the big boss of the Comancheros apparently (see above post by @gomangosteen) so I reckon he'll be ok.

because they're bad tatts or because you just don't like tatts? I got over my 'hatred' of tatts a while ago and now I only complain if I see a dumb design. ps. "bikie" is an Aussie term for a patched one-percenter, you really want those guys running around in Thailand?

yeah probably but I just CBF with rooting anymore so I've decided to just be a lemming and run with the herd over the cliff ????

nonsense. rooting is much more complicated than that, it requires flashing the device with an unsecure kernel, unlocking the bootloader etc etc. no easy task or we wouldn't be having such a long conversation about it, OP wouldn't have to ask which device is rootable.

right, that's what I thought. so without root your options for freeing up space are limited.

right. but iirc you can't delete system apps if you don't have SU permission.

afaik you can't actually do much via ADB without root/SU, but it's been a very long time since I've rooted a phone and I've forgotten all the steps.

oh, that's what "bikies" means in Australia, the one percenters or OMCG: Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs. at least that's what I learnt growing up. I first heard about how awful these people are when the news of the Milperra bikie massacre in 1984.

gone for life one hopes!

just being a bikie is sufficient grounds for immediate deportation. send him back to NZ and let them seem with him. ABAB.

I reckon their system is broken. again. I specifically chose a reason that was NOT 'long term stay' but in both cases the funds went received until 2pm next business day AND they show as International Funds Transfer. no biggie for me but obviously a massive issue if you're doing the income method.

android root dir. unrooted phone so I cannot "mount r/w"

it means that you modify the phone in order to obtain read/write access to the root directory, or / in Android/Linux terminology. the attached screenshot shows what the root directory looks like. if you can obtain "superuser" access to all of the files contained therein you can essentially do what you want with your phone. eh. remove all unwanted apps and the associated file repositories. for whatever reasons, Google and the phone manufacturers don't want you to delete the junk they ship with the phone. for cheaper phones this means the precious storage space is taken up by garbage that discerning users neither need nor want. rooting a phone is a term that describes various methods of circumventing the security measures that Google and the phone manufacturers put in place to stop you messing around with the system files. in theory this restriction is a good idea because it safeguards the user against malicious apps etc. or just messing around with the system configuration files and bricking the device. in practice it's a right royal PITA because you can't get rid of the dozens of unnecessary apps that they load the phone with. you also can't add a whole bunch of really cool third-party features that the dev community comes up with. their creativity knows no bounds, unlike the shortsighted Google and their telco lapdogs ????

sorry I missed that post, thanks for pointing it out.

thanks but I understand all of that. @BritTimhas answered my question about the mechanics of the "poof from abroad" rule.

right, so you're the Jon Snow of Android phones ????

yes they do, 15 baht. outrageous! you can avoid this fee by using the ATM's cardless cash function and the Bualuang mBanking app.
