Apple's new iPhone 15 is an underwhelming 'slap in the face,' say disappointed fans
I think it was about 9k baht for 14 Pro Max for Apple Care. And it had some limitations, like it was only covering first incident and not 100%... I can't remember what it was again. So many believe that it's not worth it. But then again, when it's a portable device, the chance of it getting damaged, lost, stolen, etc. is much higher than a desktop computer, hence I understand why compared to price of product, it's higher than their computers. Service of Apple, when item is well taken care of (looks like new on the outside but has electronic problem) is usually very good and includes item replacement. If it's beaten up, they'll replace with "refurbished" though.

Srettha Government Grants Visa-Free Entry to China and Kazakhstan, Leaving Many Questions Unanswered
They do but China embassy is all about business. While you need reasonable amount of paperwork, you can get express visa within a couple of hours. Obviously that's far more expensive than a "standard" visa with slower processing times

Amazing iPhone 15
So darn true. But if Steve was still alive, he'd tell you either that you're holding it wrong, or that this is a feature against forgetting where you've put it. If your pants get pulled down, it's in your pants pockets. If your bag strap snaps, it's in your bag. It's all by design!

How to throw out my girlfriend's son out of the house?
Rent him a "girlfriend" at the other end of Thailand... I think they made a few movies about that, not very realistic as they were Hollywood versions... Failure to launch or something like that was one of them...

Work permit question
From what I remember, the company you work for and requests WP for you must either be registered in Thailand and have 2 million THB registered capital per each foreign worker as well as 4? 7? Thai staff on payroll; or it is a representative office of a foreign company, registered in Thailand but there WP has a limited duration, which I can't remember what it was. Anything else, you might be able to get away with it by being a digital nomad, and have that smart visa or whatever it's called, but in that case, without WP, it will be difficult to do many simple things, where work permits are generally required, such as opening bank account. Not saying impossible, just difficult. There are some other visa types recently introduced that allow you to work in Thailand without work permit, but they are quite out of reach to many/most expats. Above is written from memory and might be incorrect now. Would be worth to wait for some other responses with more updated information.

Is the massive “land bridge” project worth the trillion baht investment?
Don't get it why not copy Magdeburg and make "Kra canal" like this: Would avoid having to move cargo from one ship to another and trucks in between, as ships could just sail right through... Singapore would be upset, though. Very upset. Just that alone (under table payments NOT to build it) could equate or exceed commissions for building the land bridge...

Looking for a pet (cat) friendly apartment or condo.
Aguston, Sukhumvit 22 used to have units for rent available at that rate but not sure right now. https://www.agustonsukhumvit22.com/ Obviously all prices on this page are inflated. Check on hipflat or ddproperty or alike for more realistic figures. I'm just posting it as a friend is staying there and paying around 20-25k per month on rent. Dogs are certainly allowed and you can hear them barking from balconies, cats not sure, probably.

Immigration News for all Thai dual citizens
I've heard of this many times, but when asking for details, I get mud. It's not like it applies to me, but the topics of what nationality does a child, born in Thailand, where both parents have a Thai PR, is still very elusive. Would you know if there is any merit in this? Last time I've brought up this topic I was told I better not ask those who got citizenship in this way how they got it, as it was likely under the table. But I can't see why this "rumour" of a way of getting citizenship this way would circulate for such a long time if there was nothing to it at all...

Would You Trust Lazada to Buy Computer?
Why would you avoid Lazada? They have official stores from most large computer companies. If you go to their official store or to LazMall, that should always show manufacturer's warranty that comes with the device. There are also shops like IT City, ChiChang Computer, etc. that have stores in Lazada and provide genuine hardware with all the same warranties as in store. I've received product that was defective (minor visual annoyance) which the shop accepted as a return, opened the new one in store and showed it off in a video to make sure replacement had no issues, before shipping it to me. So it's not really about Lazada or not Lazada. It's about store you choose on their platform (or any other platform) which either is trustworthy or it's not. So if you know the brand, model, shop price, shop warranty - then the online shops should offer same for same or very similar price. If you get any weird price offers and the full price is totally off, sending from overseas, and shop having only a few or no reviews and named after what keyboard outputs when cat walks over it... then stay away. Especially if it says Brand: OEM or None at the bottom of the description.
