PM asks Microsoft to invest in regional data centre in Thailand
There are other large providers looking to set up physical infrastructure here too. Many factors driving this, space and power constraints in Singapore, concern about being too heavily invested in China and others. Will be interesting to see how far this goes.

Krungsri Exclusive - Any experiences?
I have had the Exclusive for a few years now. Like "Mark5335" I had an existing account and platinum visa credit card (was HSBC originally) which they converted to exclusive visa. I also got a new atm / debit card with the membership, but never use it. The benefits I have utilized are the Exclusive lane at the bank, yearly birthday gift voucher (Swensons Ice cream cake), the Krungsri bank lounge a couple times and the Dragon Pass which gets you into some airport business class lounges, mostly in Asia. I've never used the special parking permit as nowhere near me is on the list nor have I used the health club membership.

China preparing for war with US, Air Force secretary says
Another factor is base assignments. The military does not do a good job at all trying to match recruits (or re enlistees) with their preferred locations. I have friends in the service and never heard any complaints about woke. A friend of mine's son has been trying to join for several months now, but the nearest recruitment center, in Guam, is too busy to process him now. The pay is low of course, but so are the expenses. Housing, insurance, etc are part of the package, and it's still a challenge for families, for single people it is a good start.

Anyone here purchase a MG HS PHEV?
My fast charger came with the car as well as the installation cost. I had to pay about 9,000 Baht to the condo for a few additional items; electric meter (they charge me 6 Baht/unit), enclosure for the meter and additional cable to reach to my car park spot. I also have the slow charge which can plug into any outlet. The fast charger takes about 2-3 hours to charge and the slow charger about double that. I think the comments by KhunLA may be more relevant as they are specific to MG. One of my associates does have the MG plug in hybrid and the installation was free as KhunLA described. I travel about 40km per day, all on electric. I pay about 1,300-1,500 Baht per month for the electric. I have put gas in the car three times this year, and use the gas engine just to keep it active.

Anyone here purchase a MG HS PHEV?
I have a plug in hybrid (not MG brand though) and from my experience, charging by using the motor is not very fuel efficient. I also live in a condo but was able to get a charger unit installed. Since I did mine 3 years ago, several more tenets have installed chargers.

Facebook Hacked?
Someone gained access to my account (or at lease spoofed my profile) and sent messages to some of my contacts. I went into the privacy settings and there is a section which says where you are logged on.... a list of all the devices currently logged on to your account. I logged out of all of them, changed my password and logged back in. I believe the person never had my password, otherwise, they would have changed it before i did. Then I ran the FB privacy checker and all seemed ok.
