Koh Kood gets my vote

I got the “ERR” message on my Nikon LCD after getting caught in a downpour.  My camera was in the bag but got damp, so I took it to the Nikon Repair center at Chong Nonsi.

The nice lady took it into another room for 5 minutes, then came out and said it needed a new shutter, a new mirror, and new rubber housing.  She gave a repair estimate of 15,500, about what I could sell the camera used, so I declined.

Later I came to realize I had filled one of the memory cards and the camera failed to automatically switch to the other card.  I know this used to work, but this was the only thing that was wrong with the camera.

Now I swap the cards manually when I fill one up.

It was getting stale, a new direction might rejuvenate

Just watched the Milwaukee Bucks finish Orlando, 4 games to 1.  Next up is Miami.  I subscribe to NBA.tv and have access to all the games but I only watch the Milwaukee Bucks, my hometown team.

They’re finally going to arrest the tourists that book with AirBnB

They already tried this in Pattaya with Alcatraz A-GoGo, it didn’t work, but they should imprison the tourists that book on AirBnB

Was there something that stopped you from asking for help here, before you embarked on a wild goose chase? Pride or something else?

I took a look. There is no thread started here by you asking for help/advice. 

 

The solutions are simple. You likely don't have Windows 10 Home OEM, but Windows 10 Home in S mode.

 

Just take it out of 'S' mode: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4020089/windows-10-in-s-mode-faq

 

First problem solved.

 

Second, if you want to use your eBay key to move up to Pro, there is a step that you need to take in between. If you need instruction I can do so via PM.

 

 

I’m very happy with Linux Mint.  ????   I can use my old laptop if I need anything Windows specific

I bought a new computer a few months ago that came with Windows 10 Home OEM version pre-installed.  This operating system was unusable.  I could only install software from the Microsoft Store.  I copied some files from my old laptop and they would disappear after the session.  Even simple personalizations like changing wallpaper weren’t persistent.  The screensaver kicked in after 5 minutes of inactivity, fortunately I found a free mouse move app on the Microsoft Store to suppress it or I couldn’t even watch Netflix.

I bought a used Windows 10 Pro license for 200 baht on eBay but couldn’t install it without Administrator privilege.  Finally, I had enough and was willing to pay the 4100 baht to upgrade the license but couldn’t even do that from the Microsoft store without admin privilege.  What is going on at Microsoft that they won’t accept your money?  Bill Gates would sh*t in his pants!  It’s like the motherboard is forever tied to Windows 10 Home OEM.

I installed Linux Mint as dual boot and doubt I’ll ever use Windows again on this machine.  Furthermore, I think the Cinnamon desktop is much better, simpler and more intuitive than W10, and this used to be Microsoft’s strength.

Should call them the Washington Redheads and bring back Sonny Jurgenson.  I’m glad the Atlanta Braves are keeping their name and logo as a positive image for native Americans, and Jim Thorpe was a great athlete.

The big question is obviously: Will they have lots of Pretties there?

 

Yeah but they’re wearing masks and face shields

I stopped to have a look in Baccara last night, there were plenty of girls but only about 8 customers, but it was still early.
