  1. Yes. I have always said this is a possibility. It makes you go to them, rather than them chasing you. Make sense, doesn't it? Not being argumentative. TIT. How much do you think a TRD Officer will care what's on your phone at a boarder? Remember, you flight is leaving soon. You will pay, or miss your flight, and they know this. Why do you think it's unlikely? They have overstay desks. Why not TRD desks for a quick and easy few baht off foreigners who have stayed more than 180 days? They fine you 500 baht for 1 day overstay, why not some BS "tax" for being in Thailand for more than 180 days? You don't have to agree. I am not saying I am right and you are wrong. I am merely contemplating the Thai's milking the farang cow, and why, because they can. I have never said anything about lodging a tax return at a boarder. All I have ever said is "something" may need to be paid, either for an extension, or at a boarder. For some, that "something" may be a joke, compared to what what they should pay at law, and for others, who possibly should not have to pay anything at all, they may have to pay "something." TIT. You know the way it goes here. Money, Money, Money.
  2. As an example, I have one device that is Core i7 with 16GB RAM and a 1TB SSD. It's unsupported hardware. The next step up would probably be a Core i9, 16GB RAM, and a 1TB SSD. Is Core i7 really that outdated????
  3. I'm aware of some modified versions of Windows 11 to get around the unsupported hardware issue. What else COULD be in that modified version of Windows 11 that MAY benefit the hacker and compromise the user????
  4. I'm well aware of the work arounds to get Windows 11 on unsupported hardware. As another member posted, in another thread, Microsoft have "patched" a stop to these work arounds. Whether Microsoft have patched all work arounds at this stage, I don't know, but there is plenty on the internet that they have patched at least some. Question is, are you better off with Windows 11 that Microsoft may eventually block all updates to hardware that is unsupported, or staying with Windows 10, and paying for extended support? I'll wait closer to October 2025 to see how it plays out.
  5. As another member alluded to, maybe his "shift" key has worn out. Of course, we can get into the whole English teaching thing if you like, but that's in another forum.
  6. Incorrect. I even do it with a small travel router when staying in hotels while traveling around South East Asia. I don't even know the hotel's ISP. I use this one when traveling. It's getting a bit old now, but still serves me well. 300Mbps is enough for my needs. https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-mt300n-v2/ I use mine with a VPN, so more secure. Plenty on the net about it, but this youtube video explains it pretty well.
  7. The Mods have warned every member on this thread, more than once. I will not engage your baiting post. The facts are: 1) The pension is deemed an income. 2) The pension is taxable. 3) There is no tax free threshold in the non resident tax brackets. 4) The proposed changes have no exemptions for old aged pensions. 5) The proposed changes will see one deemed a non resident for tax purposes if outside of Australia for 183 days. (the 45 day rule every 3 years aside) 6) The DTA only covers "Government Service Pensions" and an old age Centerlink pension is not a Government Service Pension. Happy to discuss what you disagree with in the above. Everything else you post is designed bait me. Can you post a link showing ANY of points 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 above are incorrect???? When you stop making it "personal" and stick to the above to discuss, perhaps the thread can continue in a sensible manner. Many on here would like to discuss the above, in the exact same way it's being discussed in another forum, in relation to the Thai remittance tax, which, funny enough, you did state on that forum, under Article 19 of the DTA an individual will have to pay tax, but on this forum you stated, under Article 19 you don't have to pay tax. Go figure.
  8. As per the Mod's warnings on the matter. See the below post. Happy to discuss points 1,2,3, 4, 5 and 6. Everything else is designed to bait me. Is there something, anything, in point 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 that you think is incorrect, and can post a link showing so????
  9. Did you get this month's security updates?
  10. Does any member have any experience with Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC? I have read it is a debloated version on Windows 10, and is for businesses, Eg. no Candy Crush etc. Support for this version of Windows 10 continues until 2032, and you can still buy a license / key for it. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/iot/iot-enterprise/overview Windows 10 Pro v Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC.
  11. Notice the bigger the number the faster the clock speed. https://australiandebtclock.com.au
  12. Remember this fine piece of captaincy? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Costa_Concordia_disaster
  13. What state are you from? If what you say is correct, all expats should convert their license to that state. In NSW, over 45 years of age means presenting for an eye sight test, and over 75 means going for a medical test. https://www.nsw.gov.au/driving-boating-and-transport/driver-and-rider-licences/health-conditions-and-disability/fitness-to-drive/medical-assessments https://www.service.nsw.gov.au/transaction/renew-or-upgrade-a-nsw-driver-licence
  14. The tenants in tourist areas have to pass on Thai Landlord "ripoff" rents to their customers. It's been going on for some years. It's the reason Thailand is slowly out pricing itself in the South East Asia tourism market. They have been pumping up the tourist numbers with cheap Chinese and Indian package holiday tourists, but the "spend" is down, despite the large numbers. Then, there was cannabis, working quite well, but only a niche market. Then, there was / is the taxing of remitted funds of expats. just another revenue stream by milking the farang cow even more. Next will be casinos. Only a matter of time. Money Number One here.
  15. Dial the number, give the phone to the Thai missus, tell her to give you the phone when someone answers, meanwhile, "do other stuff." Just a suggestion.
  16. He was one of the top journo's in his day. Been around the world, reporting on the big stories, and interviewing the big names. R.I.P.
  17. As I said, I will keep an eye on this thread, and I am researching this browser also, but it just occurred to me, your biggest "like" of this browser is its speed, but you haven't mentioned what hardware, particularly what processor, and what speed of internet you are on. I am not using Carbon browser but my speeds are just as good, if not faster, on regular browsers, as you are getting on Carbon browser. Have you tried Carbon browser on a different network, with some speed tests of the internet connection? I ask because, you say Brave is slow, but if your hardware is old, and your internet connection is slow, Brave will not be slow for others.
  18. Not "if" just "when." So why so dismissive in a previous post? Not to my knowledge, but it's not 2025 yet, is it? In the same way you are ushered to the overstay desk when they know you have overstayed your tourist visa, it's entirely possible you will be ushered to a TRD desk in the future, after staying more than 180 days inside Thailand. This is just a hypothetical, but the infrastructure for immigration counting the days foreigners are in Thailand is already in place at the boarders, and no, the immigration officer doesn't look at a calendar and count every day, for every foreigner, a computer does it. In the same way they want their 500 baht a day for a tourist overstay, they simply might want 500 baht at a boarder from a tax resident for a clearance certificate, should they not have one. Who knows? I rule nothing out when it comes to Thailand, the Thai government, foreigners, and money. No need for you to "demand" it from them, because they are most likely going to "demand" it from you. See the above.
  19. What percentage of channels "grow" to the percentage of channels that wither away and die, taking a lot of the channel owner's money and time with it????
  20. Minimal paperwork, as in, hard copy actual pieces of paper. The Immigration computer data base already knows about everyone's in, and out, of Thailand, including Thai's. They know the 180 days inside Thailand. I am simply suggesting they will put their hand out for "something." That's all. For high net worth individuals, Thai and farang, they MAY have a closer look at, but for most, it may simply be paying the TRD for a document come extension time.
