  1. PDF Split and Merge is a free tool that allows you to merge multiple pdf file into a single file. I used to use this in a corporate environment so it's "legit". https://pdfsam.org/
  2. it's this boofhead still around, I thought he got cancelled already? ????
  3. I think you're just being silly now. on ignore, peace out.
  4. except that you can because that's how it works. thousands before you have successfully completed the process. just fill in the form, pay the fee and get your account new 90 day Non-O visa.
  5. like I said, it's a convenient way of describing the situation.
  6. I think maybe they're not explaining it very well. you don't "lose" it, it's effectively exchanged for a 60 day permission to stay. then marked USED so that the next immigration officer doesnt have to go hunting through your passport for the entry stamp. is this your first Tourist Visa entry?
  7. it's just shorthand and makes it easier for the average Joe to understand. also easier than saying something like "FORM TO APPLY FOR NON-IMMIGRANT O VISA AFTER ENTERING ON A TOURIST VISA". Or something equally unwieldy. all caps used to mimic the TM86 form.
  8. no, your don't "lose" your Tourist Visa. you're given a 60 day permission to stay and as a result the visa sticker in your passport is stamped "USED". The 60 days will be indicated by a stamp in your passport which can be on a different page to the visa sticker. you can extend that 60 day permission to stay once, for a further 30 days. I'm assuming you used the new e-visa system and had a printout of it with you. The officer taking that printout from you is, I suppose, the equivalent of the old USED stamp as described above. Plus he'll make a corresponding note in the immigration database. Look in your passport for the 60 day stamp. That will show you the exact date up to you are permitted to stay in the Kingdom.
  9. well you kind of have to go to university to understand what all the codes mean in the filenames of the content you get from the "scene*. not really worth bothering about unless you're a high-def freak like me.
  10. MKV is a "container" not a video codec so it could have had anything inside it. if you see "DV" in the fully name of anything you download then don't expect it to work with VLC.
  11. hmm ... I was on 3.0.16 and the updater kept telling me i was on the latest version. so I checked their archive and lo and behold there's an x64 version of 3.0.17.4 which I've just dl'd and installed. thanks for the heads up.
  12. they weren't "DV" files were they? DV stands for Dolby Vision and won't play without newer hardware or a potentially dodgy software hack that I'm not game too try.
  13. VLC has an archive on their website that contains previous versions. https://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/
  14. screenshots help us to help you so it's worthwhile to learn the process.
  15. it would certainly seem that way. a screenshot of what happens when he clicks on the link to codecguide(.com) would be useful but for some reason he's resistant to doing that. imho he should do a clean install of Windows from a USB stick because goodness only knows what else is lurking in his device.
  16. I missed that, how shocking! What happened to journalistic standards? The editor must be on the on Lao Khao or the Ya Dong.
  17. I worked in Sydney for 30-odd years and you've just described it to a T. Except for the gossip and well, what's the point of turning up for work if there's no goss ????
  18. those things are essential if you're prone to drinking yourself into oblivion. or so "my friend" tells me ????
  19. This is my God-fearing Mum's idea of Scottish humour. She loves the Big Yin but cannae abhor all the swearing ????
  20. if he's trying to boot off of the SSD then the BIOS could be an issue. I had that problem with an NVMe SSD that I was trying to boot Windows 8 from. I had to manually patch the BIOS with a mod I found on the internet which thankfully didn't bring the laptop.
  21. I use Brave browser for Android. It has an experimental dark mode that works for most of the websites I visit. Sometimes it won't render properly and you have to revert to normal mode temporarily but for me it's worth it. The white background does my eyes in too.
  22. it would seem that he is correct. This is just one of many Google search results that support him. I've never had the temerity to read Dickens so I don't know if it's just Mr Bumble that talks that way or if it was a common thing way back when. https://www.bartleby.com/73/1002.html
  23. don't get one with the old-style dial timer, get one with a digital keypad. it means you can punch in the exact time that you want instead of having to either guess, or stand there and count down the seconds.
