Do you want a reliable computer? Then I would only use brand name parts. If you use a PC for facebook, or watching videos, or anything else where you don't care if the computer crashes or malfunctions, then you can use anything. But what would be the point? Saving 50B or what?

Americans - 'nuff said.

It is easy that you can use LAN and WLAN at the same time. It is not a good idea to have a computer with LAN and WLAN connected at the same time. That only confuses the apps (and the user). As mentioned above you should use i.e. a router from an internet provider which has LAN and WLAN. They are normally all on the same network. Any device on the LAN can see any device on the WLAN and the other way around. If you don't want to use an existing router, then buy an Wireless Access Point (WLAN AP). That has a LAN port and provides wireless. Repeat: Using multiple LAN and or WLAN ports on one PC is technically possible. But is has to be configured correctly and that is something most people won't know.

I don't have a clear answer but a recommendation. When I bought tiles for my condominium renovation I wanted anti slip tiles everywhere, to be sure if I have wet feet or spill anything that there is never the risk of slipping. I visited Boonthavorn and looked around what I like. And then I bought one box of a tile which I liked, put it in my bathroom, let water flow over it, and then I looked how slippery it is. And then I tried the same with soap water. For me my first choice was just fine. If not, I would have tried another one until I find what I want. That's how I made sure I don't slip and the tiles, with structure, feel comfortable under my feet. The tiles which I bought have officially no R rating. I have no idea what R category they would be. Cleaning is for sure more difficult than slippery tiles, but for me personally anti-slip was more important than cleaning.

I am sure there are companies which own those tuk tuks and allow those campains. I saw many times 3 or 5 tuk tuks (or similar 3 wheel vehicles) with big signs driving along the road. Only signs, no passengers, just for the ads. As far as I am concerned that should be illegal.

It seems many Thais don't even understand the concept of data privacy. I remember a marketing manager who put all emails she knew on a invitation list in facebook for a new club she was (marketing) in charge off. When I received the facebook mail I told her I don't want to have anything to do with facebook and she shouldn't do that. She just didn't understand why I complained.

My theme will be cosplay. How about yours?

If I had the money, I would build the best Gogo bar in town and hire the best girls. Nobody mentioned if that business should be successful. ;) I am sure I will love it.

Recently I needed a few pages translated from English to Thai. I used Google Lens, it took a few seconds. A Thai person proof read it and she was amazed how good it was. Later I used the same to translate Thai to English with a similar result. For ordinary translations, which don't have to be certified, computers do already a very good job. And I am sure professional translation services can use the same programs and then maybe just edit a few parts. With that technology they should be able to do at least 5 times as much as previously without hiring anybody else. So maybe your translation service is not the future.

Next time you will probably write: That steak was horrible. I will never eat steak again. Yeah, sure. There are huge quality differences in food. That shouldn't really be a surprise to anyone.

The Thai police ill inform your embassy. And they will inform your relatives. Nobody will even ask for a last will and testament.

Just buy from a reputable computer shop offline or online. Problem solved.

Imagine you have to go "home" and you know already you will be cannon fodder on the frontline.

With your not existing knowledge you shouldn't do anything with mains electricity. You might die, or people who use whatever you tried to repair might die.

Hundreds of studies in Thailand? So, what went wrong if all was studied in detail in advance? If you know about any studies which the government evaluated before they implemented the legalization, then please share them. I read the news every day and I don't remember ever seeing anything like that.

And obviously this accident, like many others, would not have happened if he would have followed safety rules. But I guess in Thailand they call it bad luck and buy another amulet. TiT

Did anybody conduct any studies before cannabis was legalized in Thailand? What were the expectations? And now, did anybody follow up and compare the expectations with reality? Did it all go according to plan? What went wrong? And why did it go wrong? Or was there never any study and some politicians just decided that they can make money by legalizing it? And now some other politicians want to make it illegal again for whatever personal reasons? Personally I see possible good and bad sides. Decisions should be made based on what is good for Thai society.

Also in the news: "Total Victory"

Any such campaign, independent of the subject, should be illegal. We have more than enough traffic in Bangkok, we really don't need a 100-vehicle Tuk Tuk campaign!

What is the worst that could happen to anybody who decided that Thaksin should be treated like he is now? I guess maybe a fine, maybe. As long as nobody can be sent to jail for keeping the VIP guy out of jail nothing will happen. And I am sure there will always be at least one medical doctor whose opinion it is that it is medically necessary to give the guy the VIP treatment. Best case we can hope for is that the voters remember what is going on. But I won't hold my breath.

Go to MK. And if you don't like suki, eat the duck and dim sum. I like all of it. I think the MK duck is the best I know in Thailand.

Part of what VPN does is make it look like if you connect from a different location from where you are. And depending on your VPN configuration that location might change often to lots of different locations all over the world. So if one day the bank (or any other connection) thinks you are in Bangkok and the next day in USA and then in the UK and in Russia then they are "confused". Hacker use this technology when they try to hack i.e. email accounts. The admin can see in the log files connection attempts from all over the world, like 30 countries within 30 minutes. Banks obviously have to be careful.

Ok, fair enough. But there was a time when I had little money but more or less regular income and I still didn't worry too much. I think many people worry too much about that - at least if they are still young enough to work and earn money.

For posts on ASEAN I use my overclocked desktop PC. ;)
