More Government mismanagement. https://www.9news.com.au/national/mid-year-economic-fiscal-outlook-jim-chalmers-government-spending/98906558-6dc2-4c30-8572-2c076e4554e2 "Australia's budget is expected to spiral into deeper deficits over the next four years as government spending outweighs revenue."

You have posted previously you are on an aged pension. Now, again, you are posting you are on a Vet's pension. Which one is it?

https://www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/reporting-fraud?context=64107 This is the number to call to report Centerlink fraud. Read more about reporting fraud. 131 524 Monday to Friday 8 am to 5 pm

Moving rocks in the Australia outback is not my idea of a happy retirement. Back on topic, you can't have much super if you are on a full pension.

I'm retired. I live in Thailand, and don't work. So, not only are you a tax dodger and Centerlink fraudster, you are also an international gold and gem smuggler. Some people have to commit crimes to keep their Thailand dream alive.

Nothing to lie about, and not provoking. Many software companies have a fair use policy. Do you deny this? Have you checked any T's & C's? Your MO seems to be to provoke anyone who disagrees with you.

This would tend to rule out a defective TV screen and / or other hardware. HDMI cables are backward compatible. Have you moved any other hardware around the TV or box? If so, the box and / or cable could be getting some interference. I agree with the other member. If no interference, it appears to be a problem with True.

No, but someone else may post some content, like yourself, for example.

Yes, it's called a fair use policy. It's in the T's & C's. Check it out and educate yourself. Already explained. Do try to keep up. With VPN's, you get what you pay for, and if it's free, then YOU are the product, not to mention the integrity of your data / surfing could be compromised. Is that risk really worth an extra 60 baht a month? I have offered my advice. For 60 baht extra a month, and the OP is happy with PIA, is it worth researching other VPN's, or simply buying the cheapest, when it may not meet the OP's requirements? I suggest, for a lousy 60 baht extra a month, stick with the devil you know. What's your problem with paying a little extra for a good product? Inflation is still high, all around the world. Prices can not stay the same forever.

So, you are a tax dodger. No opal in Thailand though.

Why? If someone has worked in the cash economy all their working life, thus, never paid any tax towards roads, school, hospitals etc, hence, no Superannuation, that's their own fault. Similarly, if someone has p*ssed away their life savings and have to keep working into their 70's, that's on them. Then, you have those that have lost their life savings to a Thai women because, "my girl is different" and they go home broke and end up living on a Centerlink pension, that's also on them. Superannuation was implemented in 1992. Most retirees should have something in their super account. If they haven't, who's fault is that?

Firstly, I am not bragging. Secondly, it's not about affordability, but about the risk in moving 800k baht to a 3rd World Country where I have no rights, and, by the way, neither do you, nor does every other retirement visa / extension holder. It's as good as a 12 month tourist visa, that's it. Then, there is the convenience of not dealing with immigration. Put all these together, and it's safer, more cost effective, and more convenient to use an agent, not to mention, the tax on remitted funds for new retirees. I know you don't get it, and like the saying goes, I can explain it to you, even show you the math, but I can't understand it for you.

Like I said, plenty on the net about it, and for more than just "a few" countries. Do your own research.

Others may face the same problem in the future.

That means he would be without the use of a VPN UNTIL and IF the company ever makes a new offer, and should he decide to use a new email address to make a new account, how will he pay? They are not that stupid that they do not cross reference payment details. I suppose he could use his spouse's card, or a friend or family's card, maybe even anonymous crypto, but what a tangled web one would weave in order to save a lousy 60 baht a month. It pays to look at the bigger picture.

In a time of high inflation, high rents, and high wages, they have increased the price by $20.99USD per year. This works out to be an increase of $1.75USD per month. $1.75USD is 60 baht a month, which is less then one small beer in a bar, all over Thailand, per month. I have always said, you get what you pay for with VPN's, and not all VPN's are made equally. If you are familiar with the PIA user interface, and billing system, and the company has served you well in the past, you might reconsider and just pay the extra money. Yes, there are cheaper VPN's on the market, but when you do some research, you will find they are cheap for a reason.

When they changed the router, did they also change your IP Address? Do you have a static or dynamic IP Address?

I am not familiar with this make and model, but do you need to set up port forwarding? You do not mention anything about it. You mention the cameras can contact to your router, but to remote view them, you may need to set up port forwarding. As for a power outage, you can buy a UPS and connect your router and hub / cameras to it, however, if the power outage lasts for hours, eventually the UPS will drain, and there will be no power to any devices from the UPS. The only way around that would be an expensive home / solar battery with around 10Kw capacity. You wouldn't buy one just for some CCTV.

I sit back and let my money do the work. I suppose some still have to drive a Cat D9 dozer in 50 degree heat. Now, getting back on topic, do you declare any money earned from selling opal to Centerlink?

Same guy. Video only 3 weeks old. France looking to implement it. France is interesting, and this is just my opinion, but if implemented in France, it could spread to other EU countries.

Plenty on the net about it. Some countries looking at the US citizen based taxation model, other countries looking at going through the back door to implement a similar model.

I can see the LTR gaining in popularity over time.

I understand many are in a similar situation to yourself, and I have no problem with it. Some seem to think their extension only costs them 1900 baht, as opposed to those using an agent who may pay 15000 baht, however, in order to pay the 1900 baht, one must accept a considerable loss on the poor interest offered by Thai banks, thus, the extension costing them way more than 1900 baht, yet, many refuse to accept the math. As the saying goes, you can tell them, but you can't understand it for them.

Digging holes in 50 degree heat, in the hope of finding some opal, is not what I would describe as a happy retirement.

Is that taxing remitted pensions in Thailand, or Australia taxing pensions at non resident tax rates? Do you have a link to the youtube video?
