  1. So far very very good, but my needs are few. Basic camera and RAM but plenty for what we will be using it for. This one only a few years old so no dramas except it is a Huawei and you have to use a third party app to use Playstore. I guess the US / Google wanted to be the only ones tracking everyone else's information. Its quite basic but for what I need more than ample. The reason for my post is the wife has an Apple Ipad which is basically no longer usable as the system is limited to older updates and many newer apps will no longer run. I read recently Apple have been building planned obsolescence into their products, not only by only supporting them for a finite period but building something into the system where they start slowing down over a period of time. Apparently a class action has been won against them? In any case I love Apple products but I don't love the whole Itunes store thing. If I buy a product I want to own it, not have someone else own me. I am quite fond of Huawei products. Get an awful lot for your money in no part due I guess due to they lost their US market overnight.
  2. I do now because I received it today....Do you know the answer to my questions or you are just bored and have nothing to do?
  3. 3 posts and all I receive is motherly advice. That's for the general / pub forums. This is I assume is a technical forum. Why do people here assume only they have the most basic of common sense and how do you read into my posts my kids are sitting online or playing games 24/7 ? One hour a day after homework if that is ok with you? Some very lonely and bored people out there
  4. Looking for a cheap tablet mainly for the kids. They have broken one already so was thinking a cheapy / secondhand. Have seen them for around 1000-1500 baht in phone shops, pawn shops usually from 2016-2018 or so. I know from previous experience with apple quite often you run out of system updates as the model gets older and can't get past a certain system update. Then many apps become unavailable as they will only run on newer system versions. Was just wondering if Android any different, particularly a model from 8 or so years ago. They aren't playing heavy online games or anything so not looking for hot graphics / performance etc. Just a bit of surfing, you tube and a few games. Other issue is many of these older Tablets, (and I may be talking shet here) will be running 3 / 4G? Or is 3, 4, 5G to do with phone service not internet? The Tablet wont have nor do we need a sim card. We actually have 4G and 5G on our router at home. Our CCTV nest / wifi cameras apparently will only connect to 4G. Do the providers here plan to cut services for older 3G 4G devices anytime soon? I got a message from my Australian provider a month ago saying the old phone I use with my Australian Sim will no longer work with my Sim card as of this month. Any advice appreciated.
  5. Bill ended up around 4500, but that included a new rear tyre for about 2400 which I could have bought online for 1500. Also new front disks. The rest was about what you would expect from a Honda dealership aka 30-40% mark up on everything. We have a local guy here who fixes my wife's scooter on occasion. he is embarrassingly cheap, and very good too I must say.
  6. Same as food in any restaurant....worst case scenario. If you buy pills off the street out of an Africans pocket yes...they are only interested in one off sales, have no reputation to worry about. There are plenty of reputable sellers selling generic product and for the most part I believe you are safe and an acceptable risk. Everything comes with risk including intimate relations with the local tourist attractions here
  7. I don't know why you would be so worried about hygiene....go outside and take a few good gulp fulls of Thailand's "fresh" air. Or have a look at the water your vegetables and fruit are washed in every day. If you are a germ o phobe you are living in the wrong place
  8. I found that too with Kamagra, half was all I needed and still had a red face and effected my sight a little. Worked well but the Shompoo I had was excellent. You wouldn't know you had it until it was time....and really heightened sensitivity too. Can't wait until they are available again :-(
  9. What about when you are horny again in 5 hours, then 9 hours etc lol
  10. Ended up getting it all done, cost an arm and a leg too. I knew I was in trouble when I walked in and saw 6 service guys sitting around doing nothing. Got the same at Isuzu. Obviously with the economy here people aren't getting service done, and they are trying to make the most of out the people who do. Both car and bike services got about 4 phone calls for nonsense repairs they claimed need doing and upsells
  11. Taladafil is available here....and don't ask me to prove it, but saw it online from the same seller I discussed earlier for around 400 / pk 10 from memory. I think it was even cheaper if you bought 3+ packs. The Thais know where to get all this stuff and what works and what doesn't. I am lucky enough to have a few Thai friends. Most of them buy off LINE accounts. If you know any Thai guys ask them :-)
  12. They are generic for sure but from a reputable online seller I have used many times. I wont mention their name here. And just because they are cheap doesn't mean they wont be effective. The product I used to buy online for 350 baht and many sellers selling the same for 1000+, and anything from pharmacies where I live at least three time online prices. Tourist areas I imagine the skys the limit.
  13. I do actually reboot my router regularly. Every now and then the connection slows down (fast True fiber connection) and it seems to kick start things again. I know nothing of routers so may be a crock.In any case had the issue probably a month or two now. Only certain sites. I log onto Lazada most days and it isn't a thing that comes and goes. Every log on has been met with a captcha thing. Does simply rebooting your router give you a new address?
  14. I've done all that several times. No effect. Form the replies looks like everyone is experiencing the same thing, must be standard protocol for some of these online sites now.
  15. HAHAHAHAHA, had exactly the same experience in my village. And the wise old knowledgeable soothsayers (gossips) will be telling everyone they knew all along "how you can Farang live every day and not go work? I knew he was up to no good" (They have no concept of life savings, investment, planning etc). And the same ones that grab all the locals to go out in the street and bash pots and pans to make a racket when there is a solar eclipse, because the frog god has come to eat the moon and must be scared away. In any case the village I lived in their were people being dragged away by the BIB all the time, I doubt anyone would have noticed. You gotta love em :-)
  16. Had one of these about 9 years ago when I first came here, living in a village. Pleasant enough experience, no dramas. Just sat on the front verandah, took a few selfies, asked a few questions and left. Since moved to new address in a larger city area last 8 years and never heard from anyone. Mate had a random visit the other day, no call first or anything. Just wondering what is the normal protocol? Can they just walk in your home and do a walk around or just come and ask a few questions at the door?
  17. Get all sorts of quirks like that with Lazada. I also find if I am scrolling through several pages often the next page doesn't fully open up, or you go into a product details and you can't click on an item or click on different photos without refreshing the page. Their search function is dreadful also, even using Thai words. I find I get more hits for something I am looking for using Google search and using the Lazada results from Google. FB marketplace is no better either re searches. Using key words and few hits....and next day you see all the suggestions pop up with 20 things that were there all the time with the exact key words you searched but didn't hit in the results....All in an effort to direct you to what they want you to buy rather than what you actually want
  18. I get exactly the same thing lol....I think there is often a little banner across the images you are supposed to be checking off and cant see them all anyway. And if you are supposed to tick any boxes with for stairs....does that also mean the box with a part of the handrail in it? And what happens if you have more than a few goes? do you get locked out? Many of the online shopping sites have their own spam and pop ups now...so you go on to buy a few things....and all sorts of stuff and adverts popping up trying to get you to buy more stuff. So they already have you as a customer and actually make it more difficult for you to buy. I dunno, maybe it is just old guys who can't adapt to changes....like our parents were worried about the effect of too much TV? Maybe it will all work out ok. I hope so but it sure doesn't feel like it :-(
  19. It appears AI isn't terribly intelligent at all. My wife lists products on Facebook for sale...very innocuous kitchen utensils, home wares etc. No humans in the photos. Often the items are rejected due to sexual content or some other such nonsense. They give you a chance to have the post reviewed and it is knocked back again. So it seem they have superior AI bots checking the lower AI ding bots.....no human involvement. I am sure it is all about saving money and making things easier. Right. Was watching a program on military AI and how if one country is developing something their enemies need to also keep up. Drones, robots etc making decisions on targets to destroy...human or otherwise. They have all this stuff ready to go now. They have done tests where at least in a simulator, some of the worlds best fighter pilots would lose against an AI controlled fighter plane 100% of the time. The AI pilot has no fear and can make millisecond judgements. And who is programming these things? I don't see a lot of intelligent beings around these days...People with no hobbies or interests apart from shopping and endlessly scrolling through FB liking inane posts and hoping they will receive the same likes from others. Facebook fairy land, for many these days it is their reality. You only have to look at our world leaders and politicians and the state the world is in. Being a boat person I follow the weather quite a bit and with all their technology they can't seem to make a basic weather forecast these days. Was much more accurate 20-30 years ago when common sense, observation and experience were used rather than computer models. There was a story of an older, retired earth quake analyst coming in to the government office to warn them of an impending event. The younger guys in the office wouldn't have it because their sensors and computer models weren't predicting any issues. 3 days later there was a major quake and they asked the old guy how he knew....He said he saw all the birds flying away. How could AI predict that? One thing AI will never have is CS (common sense) . I recently bought a new TV and had to go through all this rigmorol creating an account, installing their app on my phone. Took me an hour just to able to use my TV. And god help you if you make a mistake entering your PW more than a couple of times and you are locked out. And as it turns out has no benefit to using the TV or anything else. Simply a way of them getting an app on your phone so they can send you endless spam and advertisements all day everyday and probably suck up your other information and buying habits. Anyway good to hear it is not only me having these issues. Way of the world these days
  20. I don't like the way the world is going to be honest. All our information out in cyber space floating around and even major platforms like google and FB getting hacked all the time. I got a virus program / company who send me more spam emails than the actual spammers, not to mention the continuous threatening notifications of how my information is exposed and need to upgrade (pay more) to get their add ons to protect myself. Things seem to have got much worse during covid...like when everyone wasn't paying attention. It feels like it has all gotten out of hand and no one is actually policing it
  21. Been getting this on several sites (Lazada, Shopee etc) I have used and never had an issue. Comes up saying they have notice irregular activity or such and tick a box saying I am not a robot. Then get presented with the picture puzzles where you have to select stairs, traffic lights, bicycles etc. Its not a huge problem but annoying and made me think maybe there is an issue or tracker or something on my computer, though I have AVG virus installed and do regular scans. I do use a VPN sometimes but only seldomly and these picture puzzles come up when the VPN is off or not used for some time. Lazada particularly asks for verification every time I log on now. Anyone have any ideas? Seems odd
  22. Last 2 weeks I noticed my track pad becoming inactive. I usually use the blue tooth mouse that came with the computer but on occasion need the track pad. I don't think it is the track pad itself as initially when I put my fingers on it may work for 5 to 10 seconds then just stops moving. Any ideas?
  23. It is effective as well as the gel and I found it a lot less side effects than the pills. it just doesn't last that long
  24. I have no ED problems at all to be honest....when I do need these pills and probably way too much information here is when a condom is required. I absolutely hate wearing them. Little Kenny backs away at the sight of them. The product I was using certainly heightens sensitivity and makes the whole process a lot more bearable :-)
  25. I been using a product for a few years now called Shom Poo Shern....excellent and always bought online Lazada 350 baht pk 10. They claimed it was herbal but who would know. Looks like recently online sales of meds and even some vitamins have been banned so impossible to buy my old product at a reasonable price. I've tried Kamagra before and was effective but spins me out, blurry vision and face glows like a bulb. Apart from that only effective for 4-6 hours where the Shompoo I was getting 2 days or even more. I believe Ciallis has the same long lasting effects. I was wondering if the product I was using was actually Talfidil (CIalis)? Anyone have any insight? I saw some Talafidil (Ciallis) for sale today from a reputable seller I have used before for a very reasonable price of 280 baht / 10pills (30mg). Anyone have any experience with Ciallis / Talafidil?
