You beat me to it. What's the latest on that mega project

T'was a non starter from the start.

I've got a 2012 Raspbery Pi Model B Revision 1.0 (256MB) (still)running as a (kind of) NAS server.

Top prize of just 6 million baht, just about enough for a higher end car !!

Latest UK lottery jackpot , 7 million UK Pounds  (over 275 million Baht)

I know which lottery jackpot I'd rather win ????

I'm very happy with  the "Bosch copy"    "900 Watt Bosta"   I got from lazada

https://www.lazada.co.th/-i162572014-s195927027.html

Though I do also have an original  Bosch GSB 1080-2LI   cordless for smaller jobs   it has a torque setting for screws and is much lighter than the "Bosta beast"

Just a heads up  ( in case anyone was going to suggest it)

the repair center in Amorn Tuk Com basement  South Pattaya is  no longer there replaced by a larger display of solar equipment.

The high street in Wichien Buri still looks exactly like that.

I used to build DIY nas in the past with FreeNas. I won't go DIY route ever again.

Can you elaborate a bit  what was so wrong with  the DIY route ?  reliability , features, compatibility, technical support, running costs ?

just quoting other countries irrelevant figures? 

So Thailand's figures are  relevant  but other (neighbouring) countries  figures are irrelevant  when discussing that Thailand did better than neighbouring countries  ?  

but no I don't really believe any of their figures.

Yes, really.  Have you any evidence that the figures are wrong?

Brunei now has 139 cases
Cambodia has 124 cases and no deaths as of May 23.
Laos The country now has 19 cases.
As of May 27, Myanmar has 206 cases and six deaths
As of May 28, Vietnam’s Ministry of Health’s tally of confirmed cases of COVID-19 remained at 327
Thailand reports 11 new cases and no new deaths on May 28, bringing its total to 3,065. 57 deaths
As of May 26, Malaysia has 7,604 cases and 115 deaths.
Philippines 539 new cases and 17 deaths on May 28, taking the national tally to 15,588 infections and 921 deaths.
Indonesia saw 678 as of May 29, bringing the total tally to 25,216 and 1,520 deaths.

So Brunei,Cambodia,Laos,Myanmar and Vietnam  all seemed to have done "better" than  Thailand.

Philippines and Indonesia  have large populations.

My theory is the virus simply does not do well in the high heat and intense tropical UV countries

despite things the "government" did.

The electric company are advising, moonwalk, for the great escape?

A forward version with both feet firmly on the floor ????

When he (foolishly) stood up without crawling away

The "Mythbusters" did investigate and found that  jumping away with feet tight together was the 

"best" option...the electric company had advised them that  keeping both feet on the floor at all times and sliding them along to make  the escape would  also work (which it did but not quite as well)

if it was Nitrogen there wouldn't be a problem

well its mostly Nitrogen anyway.

the one I got back doesn't have the embossed "stamp" on it that the original plates do.

I highly suspect  that the plate they made for you is illegal as it doesn't have the embossed,watermarked and hologramed  bits the ones coming from the DLT  do, most probably no one will ever notice but still ammunition for someone looking for some excuse.

The sign in the shop you  linked to  says they  make covers for and repair

( think it says repair as  hard to read) licence plates..I'll have to keep my eyes open for more  examples  never seen one before.

The paint does come of quite easilly,there where news reports of a big batch of plates with bad paint,it is illegal to paint the numbers on again you have to go to the Department of Land Transportation to get new ones...never seen a shop selling them.
