Who are you two talking to?  The TV can't hear you. It's just an image of a journalist.

When I was younger my grandmother told me the 'government' was listing to us through the TV (television). I didn't listen. And because of our generation's inaction "they" have just gotten more brazen and now offer the "always listening" up as a openly marketed feature.  ????

Three vaccinated Russian doctors catch COVID-19 as country claims its drug beats Pfizer’s

ok, let me tell you a secret, a vaccine is not a guarantee that you won't get sick. it may happen, but in a mild form.

You shouldn't be telling secrets Dmitry.

The news stories are bunk.  Just because 3 vaccinated people later becoming Covid-19 positive means nothing. It's statistically insignificant, and there are too many reasons to explain why 3 vaccinations may have failed.

When the self-serving writer of these news stories can show 300 or 3000 similar instances then I might be interested in actually reading the article. What I want to see are after-action studies, what is the overall efficacy, duration of protection, side-effects, can this vaccine protect the inoculated against American stupid (that will be an ever ongoing infection vector threat).  

Noticed this thread, then today say this news story:

Meteor shower visible from Thailand Thursday night from 7pm

Yes, I'm sure the 'shower' will be very visible from 'Thailand".

Though, I might be able to spot a meteor or two from my vantage point ...of far Northern Thailand.

so its seems they re-use the names quite frequently ?

World Meteorological Organization
Tropical Cyclone Naming

For contributed list of names and usage please see the section titled:   

    Tropical Cyclone Names Worldwide

Western North Pacific and the South China Sea Names                                                                 V

The Regional Specialized Meteorological Centre (RSMC) Tokyo - Typhoon Centre will assign a tropical cyclone a name from the list followed by a 4-digit identification number (in brackets). Names on the list will only be given to tropical cyclones of tropical storm strength or above.

These names are used sequentially. That is, if the last storm of the year is Cimaron, the first storm of the next year is Jebi.

I have an Acer I bought in 2012. The laptop is always plugged in, so I mainly rely on the battery to work like a UPS during power outages. I use the laptop more like a desktop so it's on most of the day.

Have replaced the battery twice, so I'm getting around ~3 years usage.

Visa extension issue
By beldin, 12 hours ago in Thai visas, residency and work permits

"Hi, I have made a screw up and my visa expires on the 25th Of this month. However my passport runs out on 3rd december." [...]

...I don't know if this even applies to procrastinators, but

Urgent advice required
By Allstars, March 8, 2017 in Thai visas, residency and work permits

My extension based on retirement needs to be renewed on 10 March at the latest. Since my current passport expires in August I applied for a new passport on 20 February with the promise that it would take 10 working days. Because of circumstances beyond my control the passport isn't issued yet.

My embassy has agreed to immediately  issue a 1 year temporary passport. Can I apply for a new extension with that temporary passport?

Visas and extensions of stay based on them cannot run past the Passport expiry date (and for Thailand a Passport must still be valid for 6 months to even qualify).

I also believe any covid 'amnesty' extension does not apply to holder's of expired passports.

It appears your only coarse of action would be to stay quiet, apply immediately for a replacement passport, then PAY whatever overstay fine may be applied (if further covid 'amnesty' extensions aren't forthcoming) and hope they don't arrest or force your deportation.  Unfortunately anything you do will preclude you from extending your existing extension as normal, so there will be 'that' issue later on.

If you crossed your fingers an prayed to whatever deity you believe in, and even those you don't, you *might* be able to get a replacement passport before your current extension expires and pretend nothing was amiss, ...but the odds are not in your favor.

...also, it's best to try and keep this ALL under one open topic post, the mods typically don't like the confusion of having multiple threads open (especially ones short on fact elements).

If you use Google Maps (NEARBY option), there is *one* flag in/around Den Ha, but most of the flags will be closer to Mueang Chiang Rai.

Car Wash (a bit north of Singha Park)

The two systems are usually well segregated out of necessity (driven by equipment provisioning, user location tracking and resource billing operational edicts), but the two *may* share some trunk or back-haul data transport pipes back to the NOC. But beyond that potential sharing the two are typically treated as almost different companies with separate infrastructure (even if TrueInternet, for example, bundles TrueMove SIM Card service with their Internet/TV package). It's confusing, but individual.

Impossible to apply for a tourist visa online

Hopefully you are following the CURRENT special instructions for travel requirements posted on your local Thai Consulate website.

If you continue to have issues please let the forum know

• the country you are currently in
• the Consulate webpage prerequisite/instruction list you are following
• the type of visa you are attempting to acquire, along the reason for travel to Thailand

Once answering the above question several of the more knowing members may be able to assist.

[...] can set the provided router in bridge and then put an other in the network.

Are there members that have done this with True.

Getting bridge mode with TRUE will probably depend on the CPE Service type, area provisioning doctrine, and how well you communicate the need for bridge mode to customer support.

Past TRUE customers have seemingly accomplished acquiring a bridge mode configuration, while others struggle primarily because of the CPE service type, CGNAT provisioning, or lack of willingness from TRUE to even discuss the possibility.

Wow, both in the $350 to $450 range. I guess I will stick to 4G LTE routing for now.

Try doing a search for 5G SIM CPE or 5G SIM Router on the local shopping sites like Lazada, the prices for just the 5G device are outrageous.

Some status websites like DownDetector.com allows members to report issues with mobile apps.

Would I be correct in thinking if you use Bridge mode and you require the asus router to simultaneous access a Thai region locked app and another country region locked app that you would require to do VPN split tunneling subject to the offerings that your VPN service offers on split tunneling.

My understanding is some vpn services offer VPN split tunneling at router level and some vpn services only offer limited split tunneling through the browser extension on the client device

If you want your device(s) to have simultaneous access to both local (LAN and local Internet services) and remote region locked Internet service by a pre-selected second application then, yes, you'll want to look for a VPN service that offers "Split Tunneling" solution. Some VPN vendors may offer this as router-based providing service to ALL subnetwork connected device clients or only on a device client by client basis [see Express VPN Split Tunneling].

Factbox: What we know about Denmark's mink coronavirus strain
REUTERS | By Nikolaj Skydsgaard, Jacob Gronholt-Pedersen | NOVEMBER 7, 2020 | 5 MIN READ

Mink and humans have a similar biological trait regarding a so-called ACE2-enzyme expressed by cells of the respiratory tract, which makes it easier for mink to be infected with a virus that has adapted to humans, Allan Randrup Thomsen, a virologist at Copenhagen University, told Reuters.

Mike Ryan, the WHO’s top emergencies expert, said “there’s always the potential that this can come back to humans.”

ARE OTHER LIVESTOCK AT RISK?
The risk is much lower in other farm animals, such as pigs and poultry, because farms have “very strict” biosecurity in place to prevent viruses jumping the species barrier, the WHO’s Ryan said on Friday.

Tests have failed to infect swine, while cattle had been infected to only “a very small degree,” according to the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration. It said a sample taken from a gull’s foot tested positive for the novel coronavirus, but there was no evidence it had infected birds.

5G wireless is a bit new to be asking for proven recommendations.

And when looking for 5G 'devices' people will need to be vigilant about product label markings, as there is a big difference between the 5G of "mobile wireless 4G(LTE)/5G" [5th Generation mobile network] and "WiFi 2.4G/5G" [5 GHz radio frequency spectrum]. 

Consumer Wireless Internet Router that provides an Ethernet port are typically marketed as "CPE" (Consumer Premises Equipment).
