@jai dee, yes, my remote is the same in your post’s photo. I’ll watch a movie after breakfast and take notes.

Thanks - info digesting time. Where is the best forum to ask about an iPad app that will work with the box? I’m connected by bluetooth already.

I think I’ll play around some more. I can play movies, even though I don’t understand the controls. I am connected, bluetoothwise, to my ipad and will look for an app. thanks.

Some changes. I moved the android box power plug to a different power source. First time some lights are on the box. A menu came up on the tv. Bluetooth logo, broom logo, time and date amd these logos: Play Store, YouTube, File, Apps, Kdmc, Firefox, Wallpaper, Settings. At the bottom of the screen, a green A, Prime Video, red play button, white Plus sign. How do I navigate the screen? My new remote has batteries. On its back there are instructions re: using blue buttons. The front of the remote doesn’t have blue buttons. I can turn on a red light but can’t control the screen.

Hi Jai Dee. My MBP has finally died, last throues at least. i plugged in the box, hdmi to tv, usb-2 to external drive, batteries in remote, and … I’m stuck. The connection on the tv identifies as HDMI 3, unknown. No signal. in the installation guide it has 1) connect to your tv, 2) connect to the internet, 3) enjoy. Pretty terse. How do I connect to the internet? On the tv it says run an ethernet cable to the router which is far away. Will I have to keep that cable plugged in? Do I connect it to the new box or to the tv? Thanks.

Double \ from a news item today: \”willing\” How about that?

A yellow ‘registration form’ has started popping up again when I look at an item I got from aseanow newslatter earlier. Previously I was getting that annoying form, I gave in, and registered - again. Now I get duplicates of some newsletters. I don’t want more than two copies. Please ask the registration form people to leave me alone.

For a while now, when receiving aseanow newsletters, items with a “ ‘ “ are turned into \’ as in, say, parents’ right’s becoming parents\’ rights. Please fix this abhorrent formatting. And please tell me where the Moderator\’s forum is.

Thanks KannikaP, I forgot my Microsoft engineer go to. Working now.

I’m using expressview; as of 15 minutes ago no connection and I tried lots of locations.

I just ordered these from Lazada: 3M 9513 (50ชิ้้น) KN95 Particulate Earloop Respirator หน้ากากป้องกันฝุ่นละอองมาตรฐาน (กล่องละ 10ห่อ, บรรจุ ห่อละ5ชิ้น) THB 995.00 Just under 20 baht each, comfortable, no external filter. How long wearing one before a replacement is needed? Damn font, haha.

I just ordered this from Lazada: กล่องแอนดรอยรุ่นใหม่สเปคแรงมาก- HK1 RBOX X4 Wifi 2.4/5G Bluetooth 4.1 CPU Amlogic S905X4 Android 11 รองรับLAN1,000M Smart tv Boxandroid TV box Why? The ad had a 20 minute review (boring) but ended with ‘for $50 this is a great little box’, and the specs looked okay. Cheers.

How does one install VLC on an Android box? Lazada gives me nothing for “Android tv box Vlc”.

But, does your suggestion support usb-2? Can I use 4 tb external disks? I do like VLC because I understand it

I noticed, but perhaps my specs translation fell short that this model does not play external usb-2 and usb-3 disks. I went through a number of Lazada offerings - at least one had a maximum of 2T disks - not right for me. There was one model that worked with an iPhone but I can’t find it again. I’m not looking for Netflix etc - my wifi is too slow - the condo won’t let TOT upgrade the line.

Oops, I meant HDMI. But an IMDB connection would be the ultimate, haha. Thanks for this first tip! Am I in the right forum?

Right now I’m playing them on an ancient MB Pro, using the VLC ios app. It can connect by USB-c and USB-2; I send the movies to the Samsung using IMDB, but only one at a time, haha. I would like a Tukcom Pattaya Tai box to do the job. Do these boxes have a remote? Faint chance: do any run ios so I can continue using iPad ios VLC as my remote? Which model would be good for me? Thanks all.

I’ve been using 3M8822 which looks similar except it has an intake filter in the front. But, boy, I’m tired of it. I also want a genuine N95. The 3M specs are really good, I know, but aren’t N95. Thanks.

It’s time to buy a year’s worth of masks, for two people living in Pattaya, and perhaps visiting Canada. We are devoted maskers since 02/2020 … ugh! Can you recommend an N95 mask from Lazada? How long does one of them last? Cheers

Thanks PoorSucker. I went there a long time ago for lots of kitchen needs, my condo’s stuff was limited and poor. Went a few times, they were quite good. You opened up my memory, haha.

We went to Friendship but they only had garish pots that would be unlikely to hold two cups. We will go to Foodland and try there. My failing memory says that’s where we bought the current one.

A terrible thing just happened. Our 19-year old teapot’s lid dropped to the floor; we glued two pieces together with some gravel bits leftover. We use it for 4 or 5 big cups of British or Chinese tea 5 or 6 times a week. We’re near Friendship, Pattaya Tai. Where should be go for a replacement pot and lid? Thanks

The place can be found on Bolt.

We tested negative on Oct 20. Haven’t noticed any lingering thingies. Yeah!

My wife and are feel fine although chest colds are coming on. We’ve had 4 covid shots and just had the annual flu shots. I did a home covid test a week ago - negative. Just now I tested both of us, both positive. So we will isolate. The test came at a bad time. I am scheduled to go to Jomtien’s Soi 5 Immigration on the afternoon of Oct 12 to have them stamp my renewed marriage visa in my passport. What to do? One other item. The readings showed two black lines. On-line test results always show a red line for “C” and a black line for”T”. Is this in the right forum?
