  1. Go 'Free'! For an Office Suite: https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download-libreoffice/ For Cloud Storage: https://help.mega.io/installs-apps/desktop/download-install
  2. My experience with my 32" TV mirrors yours almost exactly. The picture became unwatchable just one day after the warranty expired. This is a classic case of 'planned obsolescence,' and unfortunately, there's little you can do except avoid this brand in the future.
  3. Throwing acid is absolutely unacceptable. I wonder if she's regretting not drinking the milkshake first and replacing it with something like dog waste—the punishment for assault would likely be the same, wouldn’t it?
  4. Exactly! I suspect the reason these fires are relatively under-reported in the Thai media is that, for example, China has significantly more EVs on the road compared to Thailand. Oh, just wait until the 'statisticians' here chime in with their opposing views. Especially those living in their windowless eco-bunkers with walls so thick, even a MOP wouldn’t leave a scratch. Meanwhile, they’re happily marinating in the delightful scent of their own intestinal gas, while the rest play the loyal lapdogs, eagerly sniffing along.
  5. An expected response when fanatics feel cornered and run out of relevant arguments. These self-important types are clearly drunk on their own sense of superiority, which shows in their overbearing attitudes.

  7. Couldn't agree more! Make no mistake, the juristic entities managing Thai condo buildings and the insurance companies will eventually take appropriate action. https://www.rfa.org/english/news/china/electric-vehicles-banned-building-fires-09102024143933.html https://www.news.com.au/technology/motoring/on-the-road/china-bans-electric-vehicles-from-underground-carparks/news-story/b7c07b8e942cb3076b704029e327d6cf
  8. Based on their revenue estimates, the tourism tax could be a blessing in disguise for all long-term residents. It’s possible, just maybe, that the government might reconsider the newly proposed tax law. Perhaps they've realized that implementing the law too soon could pose significant challenges, such as complications with DTAs, the need for properly trained staff, and other logistical hurdles.
  9. I didn’t troll, ask a question, or make an uninformed comment about EV batteries. I raised a legitimate safety concern that Thailand is certainly not immune to. Yet here you are, letting your arrogance shine through once again. Honestly, what kind of mature person calls for a moderator to remove a post about a serious safety issue? It’s mind-boggling. I see here endless debates over sales figures—'Your numbers don't match mine!'—or the riveting discovery that 'Oh, you must've sourced those from somewhere else.' Then there’s the constant tallying of EV charging stations, plus enough EV ads to make you wonder if some posters are secretly on a corporate payroll. But somehow, discussing EV batteries is off-limits. And let’s not forget the chest-thumping: 'I used to have two Porsches,' 'a massive Mercedes,' or 'I own multiple EVs, so clearly they’re the best!'—all perfectly on-topic, naturally.
  10. Oh, but let's definitely not talk about the core of the vehicle—you know, the thing that actually powers everything and moves it from point A to point B—because that’s totally off-topic. I guess next we'll have separate threads for the windscreen wipers and the door handles, right?
  11. Psst... I’ve got some highly classified intel on what you're dying to know, but trust me—it’s too hot for the public eye. PM me and bring a flashlight! nudge, nudge - wink, wink. LOL
  12. There is no difference between EV's in Thailand and China. Maybe this link is more appropriate
  13. No, I don’t have a fully installed solar system at home yet. I’m planning to start with a small setup primarily to charge the EV, and gradually expand it by adding more panels later to support major power consumers like air conditioning units and water heaters. You might want to PM KhunLA for an estimated price, as I understand he used a contractor for his solar installation and is more than willing to assist.
  14. I fully support and believe that electric vehicles (EVs) will significantly improve air quality, especially in congested areas like Bangkok. However, based on numerous reports from global media, I have concerns about the safety of EV battery packs. It has been reported that in major cities across China, hotels and other buildings have banned electric vehicles from entering underground garages due to the risk of battery fires and the challenges of firefighting in such confined spaces. This issue with EV battery safety seems to be under-reported in the Thai media. It's possible that condo owners who don’t drive EVs may start to raise concerns about parking EVs near their ICE vehicles. Of course, this is less of an issue for those who park their EVs on their own premises. Some posters may dismiss these concerns as FUD, but I’m not entirely convinced that the risks should be overlooked. For the record, my next car will be an EV, charged by solar power. However, I plan to take additional safety precautions, such as parking it at a safe distance from my house.
