Russian tourist injured in Bangkok snatching incident
Digitalbanana replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
Interesting - how does one do that? Don't own any Apple products myself, but I would guess it works without GPS at all and the news is incorrect. Much like Apple Airtags, the Airpods would use the vast Apple Find My network system to locate lost items that uses a network/Bluetooth connection to the Apple ecosystem and not any GPS signal. -

Changing marriage extension to retirement
Digitalbanana replied to JammG's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Why would there be anything illegal in staying in Thailand up to the permitted date of extension? What has the wife got to do with anything that is retirement extension related. I am still happily married, but changed to retirement extension and at no time was the wife needed for the retirement change. -

I changed from wife to retirement extension at CW and the wife certainly was not required to attend. -
Isn't that reason enough?

Win11 warns it has more than one antivirus installed?
Digitalbanana replied to Digitalbanana's topic in IT and Computers
It turns out I had installed Microsoft's own PC Manager as an alternative to CCleaner on Win11, and it comes with its own AV as well as clean up utils. Uninstalled it as I prefer CCleaner and the dual AV warnings stop. -

Win11 warns it has more than one antivirus installed?
Digitalbanana replied to Digitalbanana's topic in IT and Computers
Yes thanks. I now understand its normal to have multiple instances of MsMpEng.exe running on your computer because Windows Defender uses multiple processes to perform different tasks. I am wondering if the warning is simply a false warning as my PC seems to run normally otherwise. I will wait for Win11 to update in future as I already have all latest updates installed. My warning is exactly as shown on this discussion thread below, and there is no conclusion but to send a log report to MS. Just noticed these warnings in the past few weeks on my PC. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/windows-periodic-scanner-says-i-have-2-antiviruses/a1c47457-e9d1-44c2-9970-b9a6aab165fa -
I have noticed recently windows keeps popping notifications up on my desktop saying "Windows Defender Periodic Scanning is on" and "you're also using another antivirus program for active protection" but I've never installed another antivirus onto my PC so not sure why it is saying that? Anyone know? Also if I search my drive I see I have THREE different versions of MsMpEng.exe in different locations? Is the warning referring to that and how do I remove the duplicate Windows Defender and how is it there in first place? C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Platform\4.18.2211.5-0\MsMpEng.exe C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Platform\4.18.2301.6-0\MsMpEng.exe C:\Program Files\Windows Defender\MsMpEng.exe

Lineup for Week 3 of Pattaya Music Festival
Digitalbanana replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
"most iconic music icons in Thai and international industries!" lol -
Yes, I have been given a similar list that also included police officer, so I was just wondering if anyone has done it at Bangkok Police HQ, I am going there next week anyway as I need a police clearance for a visa to another country, so I will ask when I get there. Its not a big deal for me, and I didn't want to pay the higher private lawyer fees, as I guess most Thais in other professions don't like certifying things like this.

I have been sent an Evidence Of Identity Form from a UK fund company that I need to complete to receive my due funds. I can provide both a current signed passport and an internet printed out bank state as evidence which I have but they say it must be signed by a lawyer, notary public or a police officer amongst others. My question is since the notary lawyer charges me around 3000THB for this service in Sukhumvit Bangkok, could I get it done at Bangkok Police HQ, near Central World, and in English cheaper?

What Is Your Favorite Bank...
Digitalbanana replied to AcuDoc's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I started with Bangkok Bank, because I was in Bangkok! A daft reason I know, a bit like when people chose it since they have seen a bank in their home country. Familiarity I guess, but pointless. Then I switched to K-Bank (or Thai Farmers Bank as it was called at the time) and I have never looked back, far easier to deal with them especially since the internet access became available. YMMV. -
Still the best option for me. Been using it for many years. You get a login and pwd for a service and it also works without the 'box' on PCs, mobile devices so you can watch TV anywhere with suitable apps installed. Not sure any Smart TV's operating systems allow side install of such apps, but could be wrong, never tried, life's too short.

Barclays UK On-shore Accounts

NatWest let me keep my account there, and I am none of the above. No annual fees either.
