Seagate 2.5" external USB 3 hard disk has a standard SATA drive inside and then SATA to USB converter. WD has USB connector on the drive itself so it can't be used internally connected to SATA. Learned about that when Seagate drive failed, took it apart and found out disk inside is still working, so I just put it in another enclosure. No such luck with WD that failed shortly after. EDIT: Seagate was 2TB Backup Plus Slim. WD was 2TB My Passport.

Our condo wouldn't let them in and we have large food delivery shelves and notes with pens to write room numbers on bags before placing them onto the slots on shelves. Delivery drivers would generally drop the food off and then take a photo showing food and number of slot where they deposited it. They could not get in - all doors require card to open them - and lifts require specific cards to only allow them to floor card is registered for. So we've had this in place since I've moved here and know for a fact (through friends living in them and visiting) that the 2 neighbouring condos do exactly the same. Didn't know that delivery companies have this rule. But our condos surely do.

When ATM machines and bank branches are removed, where exactly will you get cash? Street vendors already for a while accept PromptPay payments which land in their accounts immediately without fees. That's why you'll notice your 40 baht Pad Thai vendor has a QR code printed on the side for payments. Credit cards are only secondary payment option due to transaction fees. Most are accepting PromptPay, with more upmarket shops accepting credit cards or other methods of mobile payments (Alipay, Google Pay, Apple Pay, True wallet,...) All that said - and while being forced into it by "CASH NOT ACCEPTED" by ever more invoices - I'm against this cashless transition and voted accordingly.

Is True getting their 300 million returned?

Try Houk and Bank, or Com 7 / Uficon, who often carry older models. But don't count on getting discounts like in US. Might charge you same for 2021 model as 2022.

Not so bad, la. This is Iranian footy fan:

That's what this article is about. It was OK watching from DTV reception or satellite, in cable TV, but not via internet streaming:

True4U is free to air TV channel which you can receive with standard antenna and standard DVB-T2 TV set.

Check which server Ookla is using. Maybe not TOT server. TOT would only check speed to local gateway while Ookla can choose server to test against. Most accurate is testmy.net.

I'm aware that nothing is for free, Kannika, and that internet cost is included in cost of the TV package. It is just that cable TV signal needs to get to me somehow. As no new cables can be laid through condo, and True already installed fiber to each unit, they deliver internet and cable TV through the same cable. There's a router that is all in one (doesn't have a separate fiber modem), which has cable TV socket as well. As part of TrueVisions Platinum package for about 2800 baht or so, 1 Gbps internet was included. Then there was an offer for 99 baht or something like that to bump it up to 2 Gbps, so I took it. Admittedly, compared to AIS PlayBox service previously, True has much clearer image and doesn't have dropouts like AIS one had, alas at much higher price - but AIS only has options 50-250 mbps at this place. So I switched back to True. Hence for me this is working, for others it might not.

Maybe, but then again, True is paying for it. My only requirement was National Geographic and Gigabit internet. So I'm paying for cable TV but get internet for free with it. I have it. But worried about you from time to time... If you're offering yours, I'm not interested.

I started at 30 mbps I think, and then they kept on increasing it over the years. So by the time I switched from AIS to True, I wanted 1 gbps since that's what I had on AIS. And True did the same, every now and then they'd offer to bump it up. It is really only useful for downloading large files like OS updates, but for work I am also dealing with 1 GB+ firmware files that need to be downloaded/uploaded for customers, so being able to complete in seconds rather than hours (for example firmware for 50 different models at 1-2 GB each downloaded from internal FTP and loaded into customer's FTP server). When multicasting Zoom calls with up to 1000 participants, all with cameras on, my previous 1000/1000 suffered sometimes and picture went into mosaic, so I had to use external FHD screen or even just sharing part of smaller screen to ensure image used low enough bandwidth for all to see clearly. Now even lazy 5K main screen share of Keynote is crisp on the other side, static pages or videos. Hence there are uses for WFH where fast internet is very handy. However I agree that for an average user, even 300 mbps is a lot. Then again, that's maximum speed to nearest gateway. It likely drops 90% internationally. And even more when using VPN. So if someone is streaming through VPN from overseas, a much faster internet might be required than if they were physically there.

Getting 960-980 mbps up and down on MOCA 2.5, between 750 and 850 mbps on Wifi ax (a bit less on ac), and about 1900-1950 down/970-980 mbps up via 10 gbps network adapter (on custom built i9 iMac), connected through Netgear switch. True Gigatex 2000/1000 fiber. Note: used Speedtest app from Ookla, installed, to nearest server. What I do with it? Nothing. Work from home from start of COVID. Probably 30 mbps would suffice but it's really cool to run speedtest and look at the needle go to max immediately... Or clicking download and not realising it's already completed so you keep clicking on download link just to end up with 15 copies of the file... Updating OS is great though. Whole OS update of a couple of GB downloads in seconds. And using several computers, downloading or streaming at the same time obviously has no dent on internet speed.

Maybe it's because Bolt is half cheaper than Grab, so probably drivers get less from Bolt than from Grab for same ride, hence prefer to drive for Grab?

Probably same words Thai wives would say to Farang husband after building the house on their land...

I'm sure they were gambling on whether matches would be shown or not...

Yes, he's so afraid of getting anything from masked up Prayuth that he took all safety measures possible not to get exposed to anything...

How does it compare with Benzbromarone? I found this by googling and neither looks good. I've been using Benzbromarone for several years now... Heart-related effects. Another key study found that febuxostat is linked to a higher risk of heart-related deaths than allopurinol. As a result, experts recommend allopurinol over febuxostat — especially for people with the following: Heart disease due to atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries)Jan 7, 2565 BE But then: Benzbromarone is a nonpurine xanthine oxidase inhibitor used for the treatment of gout, but never approved for use in the United States because of concerns over reports of acute liver injury and deaths with its use.

From linked article: A protest leader, Baramee Chairat, representing the Assembly of the Poor, told the police to disperse and allow the protesters to march to the convention centre to submit their petition to the APEC leaders. He gave the police 10 minutes to move away, warning that the protesters would try to break through the police cordon. Quite amazing to read this...

The one thing that has severely suffered during pandemic, and has nearly evaporated by the time it was over, is empathy. People as a whole became self-centered, self-serving, the egos have grown out of proportions, everyone else is blamed for their own misery, all the kindness and care for others has mostly disappeared. It's all about "me, me, MEEEEEEEE!" and it is evident not just in this mask or no mask topic, but in daily incidents the World over. The posters here should remember something, however. You are guests in another country. Disrespecting the customs of your hosts. Do you think that makes them like you more, or despise you and only tolerate you as long as you're bringing in the money? Or, do you think it's OK if others bring their bad habits to your countries? Many of those are considered crimes in the West, and some immigrants are hated for their behavior. That's just tables turned. If you want to do whatever you want to do with no respect for your hosts in Thailand, you should also allow that refugees and immigrants to do whatever they want to do in your own countries. Fair? Probably only until your daughter gets raped and killed. Like when some infected maskless farang coughs in the face of a frail grandpa who dies of infection. Same same, right?

Just did it minutes ago, and yes, the photo taking thingy for documents is a bit dodgy - on iPhone the screen was black, and on Android it showed but zoomed in and out arbitrarily on each attempt. So I just took photo and when seeing preview, tapped on Retake photo. After a couple of attempts it was what I wanted it to be. This could be hassle if you have a phone with not very good camera and try to take photos in low light - as that would extend the exposure time and lead to photo being blurred. Try more light, or different phone (seems you can take this with any phone) with a better camera.

Seems the explosion was caused by the Ukrainian air defense system, according to latest reports from Poland.

There was Russian-made drone that "landed" in Zagreb, Croatia some 6 months back or so... That's a whole lot more than 70 km. https://www.rferl.org/a/zagreb-drone-explosives-russia-ukraine/31802023.html
