BritManToo

My home is voice controlled by Google nests, lights, sockets, TV, Aircon, all under voice control.

I bought it as an experiment, and I must say using it with Synology Video Station app to play my movies and TV Shows works very well. It would be nice if I could ask my 'google home' to play items by name, but I gues that's asking too much of a cheap android box.

Why would you think he runs win 11? I'm happy enough with win 7 ultimate. I see all the higher versions just as a marketing gimmick.

Everything I've bought in Thailand seems dense, hard and dry to me. I assumed that's the way commercial cannabis has gone. The stuff I've grown myself is much more soft and sticky, but less THC.

Assume many are fronts for money laundering.

I nearly always add 25% bubblegummer (low THC, high taste and smell) to my high THC (low taste and smell) buds.

I'm still on win 7 ultimate.

I have a Zyxel 310 single bay, Zyxel 326 twin bay, and Synology ds223j. The Zyxels must be near 10 years old and zero problems, I've copied 8tb of data in the past 2 weeks, no corruption. The only time I ever lost data was in another device where raid had a broken stripe, no reason both drives were healthy. I've never used raid since then.

I just plug usb HDS into the back of my NAS. No need for any clever raid formats, just use the usb drives as duplicates. My Synology and Zyxel Nas both have 2x usb sockets. I have 8tb extra on the Zyxel, and 9tb extra on the Synology.

Too many choices for PC restarting, Power supply, video card, hard drive, memory, cpu heatsink paste, could be anything. If the PSU was sold with the case, it's probably the PSU.

Seagate USB drives store up to 20TB. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/seagate-external-hdd-one-touch-hub-35-i3470043420-s12863486099.html

Open all day, 50bht per person.

5tb western digital hd from WD store on Lazada, 4kbht, or 3750bht if you wait for the monthly sales. There's nothing cheaper that actually works.

Yep, they'll eat anything, they're currently eating my plastic 'fake wood' upstairs floor panels and my fake wood door frames.

OP title ....... NEED ......... not WANT.

Done 6k+km on my Honda 160i scooter, the clock says average 53Km/ltr.

Back to the OP, how much do you NEED to live in Pattaya ........ About 25kbht/month should be comfortable for a single retired person, then add more for female company, drinking and drugs.

Were they former navy seals or special forces?

5Km outside any Thai town will get you a house for 10kbht/month (or less). Obviously excluding Bangkok and the islands.

Would point out there's plenty of houses in Thailand selling for 1-2Mbht, that's $30,000-$60,000US. Not sure why you think the average expat would blow 10Mbht on a house in someone else's name, in a country they have no right to live in. This is a strange forum where everyone is rich, has big houses, young wives that love them for themselves, never pay for sex, were all educated and successful businessmen. Reality is, I've rarely met any foreigners that managed better than finishing high school, or worked in better jobs than postman/painter/locksmith/insurance salesmen, or live in anything better than a cheap one room condo. One question I do ask myself ....... all you guys that never pay for sex, don't take drugs, don't smoke, don't go to bars, don't drink alcohol ......... why are you all living in Pattaya?

Doesn't look like 13m above the water to me ............. more like 0.5m at it's highest point. How can you live with yourself, telling these silly lies all the time? Are you confusing his Martha Vinyard property with his Honolulu property?

If you think sex is a pain in the bum, you're probably doing it wrong! Rent at 30kbht/month seems massively out of line for a single guy. My 3 bedroom house costs 10kbht/month. As for income, massive boasters on this forum, the reality is most have nothing but their state pension. When the Brit DWP pays out a week late, look at all the complaint posts on these forums .......... Most people seem to be living hand to mouth, pension doesn't arrive on time and they don't eat. (Brit pension is 800GBP/4 weeks, that's about $1,000US/month)

And you keep posting the same nonsense about sea level rises. There are none, and if there were the rich of the world wouldn't still be buying seafront property, and the banks wouldn't still provide 30 year mortgages on them. Not to mention the huge current investments in building resorts on Pacific islands that were predicted to be underwater by now. You need to use a little common sense when making your alarmist posts, else be laughed at. Official figures are clearly fake!

The whole point being my childhood home on Shoreham beach isn't underwater. And if there were any sea level rises, it would be!
