Update: Expats: New Thai visas make elite status obsolete https://thethaiger.com/news/national/expats-new-thai-visas-make-elite-status-obsolete

Windows 10 users across the globe are facing a crash, causing their systems to suddenly shut down or restart. The crash is leading to PCs getting stuck on the recovery screen or the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) error. This error occurs when a critical issue forces Windows to shut down or restart. In such cases, a message stating – “Your device ran into a problem and needs to restart. We’re just collecting some error info, and then we’ll restart for you” - appears on the screen. Besides affecting corporate offices, the crash has also affected banks, supermarkets, telecommunications and airports across the US, Australia, Japan, India and other countries. It has reportedly caused the grounding and cancellation of flights across the United States, and at Sydney (Australia) Airport. Customers have been told they can’t check in their bags. Windows 10 crash: Microsoft reaction In a statement, Microsoft has said that a recent CrowdStrike update is leading to the crash. Meanwhile, CrowdStrike, which is a US-based cybersecurity provider, has said, “CrowdStrike is aware of reports of crashes on Windows hosts related to the Falcon sensor. Status updates will be posted below [on the website] as we have more information to share, including when the issue is resolved.” Notably, the CrowdStrike Falcon provides cybersecurity solutions such as endpoint protection, detection and response, threat intelligence, incident response, Windows security features, and security updates and patches as well. Windows 10 crash: Is it a cyber attack? The National Cyber Security Coordinator of Australia, Michelle McGuinness, has ruled out the possibility of a cyber-attack behind the crash. “I am aware of a large-scale technical outage affecting several companies and services across Australia this afternoon. Our current information is this outage relates to a technical issue with a third-party software platform employed by affected companies,” said the National Cyber Security Coordinator in a post on X. Windows 10 crash: Ways to resolve bug A user may utilise the Blue Screen Troubleshooter available in the Get Help app. Here is how to do it: Open Get Help app on Windows.

Review: Visit to Medpark Hospital, Rama IV Rd., Bangkok. I decided to do a first-time visit to Medpark Hospital in Bangkok this morning. I arrived via Grab taxi to Medpark and did my new patient registration (passport) on the ground floor which took only 10 minutes. Nice and clean hospital with friendly staff and nurses. Next was to do a some quick tests which were ready after only 30 minutes. A Starbucks coffee visit at ground floor and then went to visit the doctor. Examination and discussion with doctor, 20 minutes, and then off to the hospital Cashier/Pharmacy. No clear/no visible signage so nearly missed to submit the prescription document to cashier. This took another 30 minutes. Overall a very positive experience, cost around 2,500 Baht incl prescription medicine. Recommended. Would have given 5 stars, but a bit bad signage and waiting time makes it a 4-star. My new favourite hospital of choice in Bangkok. I'm changing to Medpark now as it's a cheaper, and to my liking, a much better alternative than Bangkok Hospital and Bumrungrad. 👍 Google Maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/CHQLsaeopchKZ1u58
