I used a hammer in the past, but found it pretty labor intensive. I use a drill now. I drill four holes, one in each quadrant of the disk.

OP, do yourself a favor and upgrade to a new device. I had a look at the specs of your device, and not only does it have small storage, but the processor is only 1.1Ghz, and must struggle with Windows 10. I know you will say that it works fine for you, but your internet experience can be so much better for so little outlay these days. Coming form that device, no need for an expensive high end device for you to see the benefits. Even a base model new device will outperform your current device by a big margin. If times are tough, buy secondhand. I am sure your device has served you well, but like all other machinery and electronics, they reach End of Life. Go to one of the big electronics shop and have a play with the cheapest device they have on display and for sure you see a big difference.

So can being assaulted.

Since you have to outlay money on a secondhand Mac, and get an IT guy to set it up for you, why not buy a set of these, as I suggested? They are pre configured out of the factory for you. Cheaper than a secondhand Mac. Your sister can plug in the home proxy dongle, no need for the IT guy. The set comes with two power supplies and two short ethernet cables. The companion dongle can be posted or couriered to you. Plug it in at your house in Thailand, it then connects to the one at your sister's house, you connect to the one in your house via WiFi, and you are on your sister's IP Address for every website you visit, including streaming websites. They are small and use no electricity and are left powered on all the time. There's no ongoing subscription fees if you buy a set and don't go through their app and server. I have a set of these and they work well. I had untold trouble streaming Foxtel in Thailand. I tried many things, including multiple VPN's. These get around all the geo blocked sites I use. https://www.homingsystems.com Here's an old youtube video about it. These are the older models but they still do the same thing.

May have been on the Shane Warne shredding diet. Thailand has always been the place where one can come to build muscle fast, or lose fat quickly. Both can have serious consequences.

NSW has "a war on pokies" which has become an election issue. There's probably going to be a significant reduction in pokie revenue for pubs and clubs, and when that happens, you can expect $15 schooners.

You do like making things difficult and expensive for yourself, all for just 10 months of use.

Had similar issues last week. I checked Skype's website and it said there were known issues in the Asia region.

Does the place have a false ceiling? You know, the panels sitting on angle iron on hangers. If it does, easy to pop a panel up and have a look in the cavity. Maybe it's just a cable that's detached itself from a splitter. It could even be laying on the suspended roof panels. Easy fix.

As I said, if you still insist on this method, Google "Intell NUC." They are small PC's, not much bigger than a cigarette box. No screen, no keyboard. They have an ethernet port. It would sit next to her router with a short ethernet cable. Google "Mini PC" for other similar devices. Perfect for what you want to achieve. Get one with a SSD. Let moving parts, for more reliability over the years.

This is what the member said: "Actually when I was in Oz I called the Centrelink Older Australian number and asked specifically about this point. The answer was that you can leave Australia several times, for several weeks, during the 2 years after you have returned from a long absence and it doesn't affect the accumulation of the 2 years and pension doesn't stop unless it's quite prolonged. The C'link officer did say 'I suggest that in one block period you don't stay away for more than one year, that would cause complications'." I challenged him on it, and then he said either he, or she, or both, were "joking." His post certainly didn't read like a joke to me. Do you agree with his post, or not? If not, how am I being "alarmist?"

Not surprising, but now you know.

If you insist on buying a computer, like I said, go into the BIOS and change the settings to turn on after power outage, or similar, and buy a wifi switch and connect it to that. You can then turn the computer on and off from anywhere in the world and you don't have to worry about sleep mode and Wake On Lan. An ethernet cable will always be preferable to wifi.

Ok. Imagine someone is just about to achieve portability, after 2 years in Oz, then the pandemic hits, and they are stuck in Oz for another 2 years. I reckon those guys were the most unlucky.

Ok. Thanks. I'll have to look into this. I think I have been using these window incorrectly for quite some time.

No problem. Out of interest, why do you say anti-Thai? What has Thailand got to do with Centerlink in Australia, and achieving pension portability?

You have already achieved portability. We are discussing the rules in order to achieve it.

I would have thought those planning to go back to Oz right to the very day they planned to achieve portability that got caught in Thailand for around 2 years would be considered unlucky, and those that already came back to achieve portability would have considered themselves lucky, as they couldn't travel back to Thailand anyway.

Status, classification, call it whatever you like. Point being, it can change with the stroke of a pen in Canberra.

I didn't know that. I always thought Private Window in Firefox and Incognito in Chrome were vanilla browsers. Why would someone make these windows the same as their regular browser window?

He was complicit in the crimes, because he was instrumental in their cover up.

Yes, can an also open Firefox and click on "New Private Window." If the website works, than an extension is causing a problem.

If reboot doesn't work in the future, try uninstalling and reinstalling also.

I think there would be a lot of guys that wouldn't really care too much if the pension was stopped, but care more bout the 2 years starting again, and again, and again. Basically, the 2 year sentence of living in Oz.
