    I guess the very few minor little things from the Chinese builder  are rectified by this update.

    BTW price drop on Aliexpress for 15 days for aerobook plus 15 inch 8gb...seems also better speakers now ....price tag around 525 Usd. now

     

    I was hoping that Chuwi would come out with a 16G version of one of their laptops. It would also be nice to have a 1TB SSD as well. I need a power laptop for Excel. 8 Gb of RAM just doesn't cut it for the larger, more complex Excel spreadsheets.

     

    I am still hunting for a decently priced 16GB/1TB SSD Windows laptop. Most of them are priced 50K Baht or higher.

  2. Since most of the Bluetooth drivers are Intel related, I would suggest installing and running the Intel® Driver & Support Assistant.

     

    Intel® Driver & Support Assistant

     

    This will typically clear up any Intel driver related issues. Personally, I hate Bluetooth. I use it but I think even after all these years it is a half-baked protocol. Many times it will drop off and you have to turn it off and back on. Headsets need to have pairing repeated as they drop off for some unknown reason. Bluetooth Smartwatch connections disappear and reappear. Five Bluetooth versions later and it still sucks.

    EVs from all makes in Thailand cost double or more what they cost in other countries.

     

    Case in point, the Nissan Leaf. Costs around 33,000 USD (~ 1M THB) in the USA but in Thailand it costs almost 2M THB.

     

    The MG ZS EV version of the MG ZS costs about 400K THB more than the petrol version.

     

    There are some electric versions that are not more expensive than the petrol version. The Mini Cooper SE is actually cheaper than the Mini Cooper S (if we are to take the SE version is the electric version of the S). I have been thinking about this car but at 2.3M THB, the price is a little steep. Availability seems limited as well. Granted Mini Coopers are incredibly overpriced in Thailand as it is.

     

    The Honda E looks interesting but not available yet. The range is concerning with some tests coming in at the around a 190km city and 130km highway. This is definitely a city car.

    EV technology will be cheaper from 2025 and become more accessible to normal people, he predicted.

     

    So, another 5 years before affordable EVs? Where are they now? Several other countries have affordable EVs, why the wait in Thailand? I would like to buy an EV to replace my aging Nissan March. So far, I haven't seen any type of small car EV available in Thailand. Most of the EVs available are mid to higher end vehicles. My neighbor has a plug-in BMW.

     

    Even the Prius is no longer being sold in Thailand. The Prius has a Plug-In Hybrid model available in other countries.

     

    It is hard to believe that Thailand is serious when they don't even have currently available EVs for sale.

    Please post where to find these established rules the police must follow.

     

    If being arrested, a citizen has a 4th amendment right.

     

    Federal Law Enforcement Is Making Unconstitutional Arrests In Portland

     

    Quote

    This violates citizens’ Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable searches and seizures. It also violates their Fifth Amendment right to due process of law. Finally, it violates the First Amendment rights of citizens to protest. The government has the right to enforce the law but protesters have the right to know that if they are arrested, it will be by lawful authority.

    Trump did an excellent job in Portland, quite a number of the ANTIFA leadership were arrested.

     

    Yeah, this so called "excellent job" failed to mention the beating of a Navy vet at the hands of the Federal jack-booted thugs. 

     

    A Navy veteran says he was beaten and pepper sprayed by authorities while attending his first protest in Portland

    "I was going to ask why they weren't living up to their oath of office, the Constitution," David explained. " All I wanted to do was ask them why?"
    He put on his Naval Academy gear with the hope they would listen, and would feel like he was one of them. What he was met with couldn't have been further from that.

    When approaching them to talk, David said they pushed him down, and started beating him with their batons and using pepper spray.

  7. Will Donald drop out before the election? There is a possibility that he would try to save face by dropping out and claiming a 1 term victory. Donald already "Made American Great" so time to move on...

     

    James Carville says there’s a ‘significant chance’ Trump drops out of the presidential race

     

    Quote

    That was Democratic strategist and “2020 Politics War Room” co-host James Carville on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Thursday morning, doubling down on his prediction last week that Donald Trump will drop out of the presidential race before November.

    He suggested on the Comcast-owned CMCS, news channel that Republican Senators including Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Martha McSally (R-Ariz.) and Dan Sullivan (R-Ark.) will try to separate themselves from Trump this fall. “This is the great ‘Moscow Mitch’ strategy. ‘After Labor Day, we’re going to turn on him.’ That’s really going to work,” Carville said with sarcasm.

     

    It appears that after Labor Day, if Donald doesn't turn his numbers around, Mitch and company will turn their backs on Donald. Let the Republican in-fighting begin!
