OK, now I get it. If you already have Windows, you can wipe it down to clean slate by choosing to reset Windows - that wipes all files and settings and keeps only OS. But that would be existing OS you have installed. If you want to change version of OS, unless you wish to manipulate kernel with some PowerShell commands that were probably mentioned earlier, the "correct" way is to insert the USB stick with your Windows 10 Pro installer, reboot PC and boot from USB stick. There, choose NEW install. Choose disk and format it (or delete and recreate partitions), then you can choose whichever version you have software license for. But you can NOT run the installer from inside already loaded Windows and choose a different version.

I think there's an option in the media creation tool to select that you're making image for another computer, then allows you to choose whatever version you need... At least it used to work that way, admittedly I haven't downloaded Win10 in 2 years...

In that case you don't need to buy anything. As suggested earlier, download the image with media creation tool, and have a blank USB key ready. Install on kid's laptop from that key and apply your previous license key. If this is the same laptop, it should work straight. If it was OEM license and you changed laptop, then it may allow you to use key, it may ask you to contact Microsoft for activation. But basically - if it's same computer, and genuine key is loaded, and you need to reinstall, you don't need a key as computer would already have a digital license applied, so it would apply the previous key without even asking.

That's why I wrote that things may have changed, but above is what I've done last time I changed job before getting permanent residence, and it was doable. But things may have changed since. And waiting for someone with more recent experience. So thanks Buddha you came along to help.

You can't move work permit from one company to another. But you can start applying for one before the previous one is returned. The resignation date can be in the future, and you could (at least in the past) move from one work permit to another without the need to leave the country, you would just need to start preparing new work permit early enough that you can just go back with cancellation form (you need to print 2 copies, one labour department keeps, the other is for you) as you'll need it to apply for new WP. You'd get 30 days WP if all paperwork is in order, and after that it gets extended to full year. At least it used to be doable. But it's new work permit, can't move the old one to new company. In between, once old one is cancelled you'd need to get 7 days extension on the day of resignation (your visa extension - unless you have 90 day multiple entry visa - expires on date of resignation) and ideally within that period get new work permit, and extend visa for a year again from there. Hope this helps, while waiting for someone who did it more recently.

Yes, save your money. Good advice, for even better one, save even more by buying this accurate temperature measurement device:

The point of measuring equipment is that it's accurate. If you buy something cheap that shows figures +/- 30%, it's no point buying it. Stick to Omron.

About 4 am was the worst. Air cleaner in bedroom started sounding like plane taking off, and looking out the window it was just smog... couldn't see any lights beyond maybe 50-100m. I see clean air act is having an immediate effect...

Mine is valid another 3 years, so I haven't seen that sticker. But yes, when Citi got new CEO, her first announcement was to close down or sell most of their business. For Thailand, Citibank's operations were purchased by UOB which is using Citi's brand under license for 5 years, if I am not mistaken. All operations are already moved over to UOB, though, so if you call Citi phone support, it's covered by UOB agents. I must say that compared to HSBC/Krungsri version of the same thing some years back, this transition is a lot smoother. So far, anyway.

So this is to fill in that gap of exactly these people being excluded from the 10k baht handout... Quite clever marketing. In the end this one might stay and the other one get scrapped for breaching financial discipline...

Did you try scanning that barcode? It opened up eBay page selling vaseline!

Should have just killed the last one on the list... But this is a Buddhist country. They'll be reunited in their next lives, and he's going to owe them big time... Some miserable lives ahead...

I read a few days back that those are being shipped abroad as cheap labour, including to Israel...

A while back I dealt with a guy who worked for a company that was dealing with the cash top-up machines. I was inquiring about why the new notes were not accepted, even they were out for a year already. His answer was that they could not take a risk to add them by themselves to the registry of notes in the machines, as if anything went wrong, they would be liable for the damages. So they were waiting for the software update from Bank of Thailand, as if they used official software, and anything went wrong, then the central bank would be responsible, not them. It seems whoever made those top-up machines did not have the wit of a professional company, and should, in my opinion, cover all the losses those "hosting" these machines suffer from, due to lack of diligence of the machine producer or distributor.

There. Corrected it for you.

They asked him about his ex, but didn't tell him she was watching it... https://x.com/Bornakang/status/1724193187147722792

Was just thinking... Stop ridiculing North Koreans for believing their leader is God. At least there's evidence of Kim Jong Un. Fetching my coat... as if I needed one in Thailand...

In my case, local police station doesn't have someone dealing with foreigners in all the time so I got her phone number and I could make appointment first, but if your police station is used to dealing with foreigners, they'll probably have someone on site all the time and no need to make appointment up-front. You'll need to bring your usual set - blue tabien baan, blue or white PR booklet and obviously the red alien registration to update. If you have it, bring pink ID as well. I brought passport, too, but it wasn't checked at all. It could differ at your police station. Police officer will write a new expiry date, you'll have a choice of 1 or 5 years, charge you that few hundred baht and hand-write update into the red book. Photocopies of your documents will also be made and you'll sign each of them. There is no form to fill. The whole process takes 15 minutes. If this is the first time you're doing it, go to information counter and show them what you wish to do. They'll let you know if you can do it immediately or need to wait for appropriate person to be in, which would mean later appointment. Hope this helps.

Not sure where you are, but if in Bangkok, I'd recommend Amarin Plaza Apple repair center, or Apple Store at Central World. Not terribly likely they would fix it there, most of their stuff was (at least used to) be sent to Singapore, but that might have changed by now. Amarin would often call you back a few days later and just give you a new one, if the old one was of perfect external shape (no dents, cracks, scratches, etc). I've only had battery replaced at Apple Store, and that was 3 hours wait to get it finished. In case of repair, all data will be gone, as wiping it would be part of the repair process, or if new one, obviously it won't have old data. If you're anywhere else, I've no idea. Apologies.

Yes, when buying a used car, you can google plate numbers for those cars that have never been in an accident, and if anything like this comes up, avoid them like plague. Seen some that looked amazing, claimed the same, but a search of plate number found a woman paralysed after a head-on collision with a pickup overtaking a truck and slamming into her. Photos showed that car was completely smashed up in the front but somehow "fixed" to look like new to the point guy who does inspections couldn't find anything wrong with it... And anyway it's the information original articles publish, AN simply copies first few paragraphs, usually.
