It will happen  and as usual there will be those who say 

"why should I worry I have done nothing wrong so have nothing to hide"

Guy Fawkes party has a different connotation in Thailand.

Can you elaborate ?  or is it a sensitive subject ?

Doesn’t the music festival kick off in Pattaya today ? 

Yes and there is talk of having a "fireworks festival" too  but not today.

I think I read in another article  the will be 3 stages  one at north Pattaya  one at "Central"

and one  at "Royal Garden"      as well as other stages  on Koh larn  and at the usual place in Jomtien  near the (ex) night market...not much of interest for any foreign tourist brave ( or stupid) enough to attend as there are no foreign bands playing,no alcohol,no bars open,talk of not allowing the usual food vendors,only 500 per stage and Covid testing before entry to stage areas !!!!!   I think I'll give it a miss thanks

 if you've had covid, your immunity isn't better than if you were vaccinated.

Shirley it's at least as good if not better ?  

Actually looking closer I'm not quite sure I have the same problem.

They call it  "dee glur farung"    you can get it from Lazada  and probably Shoppe too.

we will have to ditch the old -isms and coin new political phrases such as Idiocracy and Idiocracism to describe the current state of world political domination by a bunch of evil muppets.

"Covidiocy"   is the term I use.

Sadly everything is still dead. You think a bad PSU could have killed the motherboard or CPU? I

I once had a similar thing occur   changed the ( bought brand new)

PSU then RAM  then CPU  then motherboard

the thing still didn't work   in the end  I got it all working just sat on  the table  great  put it all back in the case..guess what ?  didn't work...turns out it was a bad  start switch on the case

if the device has come to the stage of replacement due to this issue, why not give it a try!

Yes I fully agree and will try  when the readout becomes worse than it is..at the moment it's quite noticeable but not bad enough to make the speedo unusable..just don't fancy trying to unsolder those 2 long rows of pins.

Yes. I use WiTopia on TOT supplied fibre optic router.

Maybe I misunderstand but you mean  you use WiTopia through a TOT router  it's not installed on the router ...is it ???

I'll get me thermals,woolly hat ,scarf and gloves out ????

Highly doubt you can install one with the original firmware...maybe if you flashed custom firmware like Tomato ??

I now  a few years after below photo have a similar looking problem with the  LCD display  on my motorbike...not sure its quite so easy to remove the display from the printed circuit board though.

Yes they have thought of that too  ????

If forced to  I would only consider  some of these open source and privacy minded alternatives  listed in this article.  say no to "cloud everything" keep that data where it belongs in your own possession.

No way I want any of these things.
