Set up a second account and make yourself temporary Admin.

This is maybe a temporary solution.

But it doesn't change anything to the bad programming of FaceBook Groups which allows a member to bypass an Administrator.
If ThaiVisa would be programmed like FaceBook it would be a disaster.

If the house had a proper Electriciy Earth system, this would have never happened in the first place.
And the company who installed the whole system should have used a Safe-E-Cut.
But then, This Is Thailand.
A Safe-T-Cut is more expensive that 20,000 Baht offered to the girls family.

Interesting.. I will test it out with one of my groups.. meantime you could add promote a friend of yours as admin and then ask him to remove this guy from the page.

Making a member "Admin" can be tricky.
Once you make that member "Admin" he can Block/Delete you (the owner if the group) as well.
If that member would have ill intentions, he can Block/Delete you and then leave the group.
Thus the group would have nobody who can manage the group. but still you would have the ownership of this group.
Imagine somebody posting "Lese Majesty" material in that group (you are the owner of the group) but you are unable to Block/Delete any post because there is no "Admin".
Not funny.
I founded the group because a previous group with a similar name had this problem and FaceBook Help was unable/unwilling to offer any help on this.

In Clip1.jpg, you can see that the Group member Nick Lloyd is "greyed out", but nonetheless is still able to post.
In Clip2.jpg, you can see that the Group member Nick Lloyd can not be found in the member list.
 

A few years ago, I decided to start to make a FaceBook group.

First, the members were only family and close friends, but soon other members were added to the group.
Everything seemed to work fine, until recently.

I noticed a member, who was disrupting the group with all kind of posts which were not related in anyway to the group.
But this member's name was "greyed out" and selecting the member did not offer the option to "Block" or "Delete" the existing member.
Still, this particular person was still able to post.
 

The situation became even more strange when I looked up in the members list and this member was not in the members list.

I decided to write a letter to the Help Desk of FaceBook, but as soon as I typed the question title, a lot of letters of other members with the same question appeared.

It seemed that when a member decide to Block the Adminstrator(s) of that Group, that member will appear in the discussions as "greyed out" and the Adminstrator(s) are unable to "Delete" or "Block" that member.
The member would also not appear on the member list.

FaceBook was aware of this "problem" and was "looking for a solution", but nothing had been done by Facebook until now.

Suppose you want to open a FaceBook Group.
Someone (you might know or you might not know) is asking to join the Group.
As soon as you accept his membership, this member Block you and all the Adminstrators of the Group.
Then this member start to make bad posts about the Royalty.
There is no way to find the posts of this member because he is not visible to you.
YOU will go to jail because of this member as you didn't "Delete" the posts in a timely manner.

I want to warn all members of ThaiVisa about this bad programming in FaceBook and to take care with FaceBook Groups.
Reading the Help Desk made me aware about a lot of shortcomings in FaceBook that are never addressed and problably will never be addressed.

Have you checked the support section of the HP web site for your notebook model?  HP might have issued new proprietary drivers which are compatible with Windows 10.  (Or, if they have Windows 8 drivers, but not Windows 10, download those and see if they work.)

I did.
But no Windows 10 drivers for the NoteBook HP1000.
And the scarsely Windows 8/8.1 drivers don't work.
When Microsoft installed Windows 10, the Touchpad was not working anymore.
I tried all possible drivers, but nothing worked.
And the answer from HP Support is to go back to Windows 7.
I have downloaded the screen driver from the AMD website and was lucky to have it work.

I managed to make the Notebook display get mirrored on the flat screen by using a HDMI cable.
The error was that when the Notebook upgraded silently to Windows 10, it adapted the Windows 10 drivers instead of he original screen drivers.
The Windows 10 drivers did not offer the "FN + F4" switch mode.

Will try to make it work Wireless (MiraCast or similar) later.
Thanks

You need an specific app loaded onto your android box for PC screen mirroring. I don't know what this app would be for a PC , but a search for android apps would probably find one.

 

With Macs  it is very easy as they have an app called Airplay already included in the computer  OS, and even the cheap Lazada Chinese Android boxes like the MXQ Pro come with an app already loaded called AirPlayer (part of the DLNA Player media center) which will mirror the Mac screen wirelessly when you turn on Airplay on your Mac. This is actually not part of Kodi and does not require activating Kodi.

I have an Android box from Lazada, with preinstalled software.
In the "Setting" there is under "Advanced Settings" a "Miracast" entry.
I have used it with my Mobile phone (Android) and it works fine.
But I can not get it to work with my Notebook (Windows 10).
Airplay is required for KODI, but I never tried to mess with that out of fear to lose KODI.

But on the Notebook, there is no way to select the HDMI as screen output.

 

There should be; typically you can toggle through the notebook, display, an external display or both.. Maybe via a hot-key, or Fn (Function key). Consult the user's guide for the notebook PC.

 

What is the make/model of the notebook?

HP1000

If the TV is on the same network (WIFI or wired) you can also 'cast' directly to TV device if TV supports it. If not you can get device such as Google Chromecast which plugs into HDMI port on TV to connect wirelessly.

The TV does not support Wireless directly, but the Android box (KODI) does support Wireless.
I have setup a network and I can see and play files from every computer/notebook over the network.
But I can not use the Android box to cast the screen on the Notebook.

You just need an hdmi cable from computer to flatscreen.

 

Select "source" on tv to the appropriate hdmi socket.

How do you select the HDMI cable on the Notebook to show your Notebook screen on the flatscreen?

On the flatscreen you can select the notebook as "Source".
But on the Notebook, there is no way to select the HDMI as screen output.

My child would like to use the flat screen TV in her room to display the contents of her screen on her NoteBook (better readability).

My child would prefer to have a wireless Notebook <-> TV Screen connection.
Is there an "easy" way to perform this?

TIA

Will it take 2 years to arrest him like the taxi driver who stole 500 Euro from a Brit tourist?

Thaksin, the never ending story.
Doesn't have the NCPO and the Junta government have more important tasks to do?
Buying the overpriced and superflu submarines?
Emptying the state tresory while they are in charge?
Investing in a High Speed train that never will come to Thailand?
Cleaning up their own mess they are making?
Ony naming a few things that seems to be of highter priority as hunting the Thaksin family.

Do you mean that there is still enough money left for a high speed railway?
Or are they going to scrap the submarines deal?
 

All I have seen happen from Prayuth and his Government are new laws and imposing art. #44, but they never have been implemented or were forgotten after a few months.

You can make every new law you want and implement art. #44 you want.
At the end of the day, the follow up of this is in hands of the same (corrupt) police force as before.
 

In most Western countries, a double brake system with individual brakes (if 1 brake fails, the 3 others keep working normally) is required in every vehicle.
This was introduced because of the accidents due to a brake failure in single brake system.
Accidents due to a brake failure, are as far as I know, not existing anymore.
I wonder why the Government doesn't require a double brake system in Thailand.
At least in Public transport and heavy transport.
Cars and trucks are more powerful than a few years ago, but the design of the cars did not change in Thailand.

My car is checked at the dealer every 5,000 kms and the prescribed checks at the dealer.

I went with my car to the dealer to do the prescribed checkup of 20,000 km (brakes, timing belt, gearbox and pont oil check, suspension check, etc.) 1 month before the incident.
 

1 week before the brake failure, my car was checked at the Toyota station for the car tax department.
No remarks.

PS.: I can show the checkup files as said above.

While it might sound harsh, but the bus company can not be forced to pay anything.

If there is an accident, it's up to the Insurance company to pay for the damages.
The Insurance company did pay, although they had the right to refuse to pay as the driver did drive through a red crossing light.
Not respecting the driving laws, can be a reason for the Insurance company to refuse to pay.

In some "more civilised" Western countries, if the driver of the bus did not respect the traffic, the company would be made liable by the court for hiring a person who is not qualified for the job.

3 weeks ago, I was driving home on a busy 3 lane road.
My speed was about 70 km/hr.

As the car in front of me pushed his brakes, I pushed my brakes also.
But the brake pedal went suddenly all the way down without slowing the car (an automatic car).

I pulled my handbrake and moved the car to the right sidewalk to increase the friction on the tires.
I was able to slow down and stop the car WITHOUT hitting any other vehicle.
Once stopped, I went to check the car, and I noticed that the front left brake hose was broken.

Any car (vehicle) can be brought to a halt if KNOWING HOW TO DRIVE and BE ALERT.
Unfirtunately, these 2 assets are rarely found on a Thai driver.

Horrible! This type of carry-on happens often, the mindset still very much in the animal kingdom among male groups. They will likely get a slap on the wrist and a small fine - maybe no apology if relations of a somebody. Steal a toffee bar from 7 or try to sue someone of a wrongdoing thus defaming them, then lookout. I would happily see the death penalty for this sort of REAL crime.

But they did not feed the fishes.
Feeding fishes is a far more greater offense that kicking someone on the head with the intention to kill.

OK
Got it.
