    5G will be a revolution and will propel mankind forward to achieve things we never thought possible. 

    You can't stop progress and it will happen even if there are health concerns....,..

    I do not see 5g being everywhere , just too many cell sites needed for areas with few people.

     

    Will your self driving car be able to drive down a mountain trail with no 5g that it can talk too ?

     

    Time will tell.,.

  2. Thanks for all your work figuring that out , 

    I have a "tin" ear , AM radio quality is fine for me , 

    What I have been using the last few years is a cheap MP3 player that has 6 files that are about 8 hours long each, they were recorded off AOL radio stream too many years ago , 

    I got lucky and 99 percent of the songs I like , 

    But I thought I would try a few other streams and see if I like them......

    Thanks again

  3. Hi , end of my billing month and I have 4gb of data left , 

    I want to download some steaming music to listen too when I have no signal.

    I do not care that it's all in one file , I will just start it at night and let it run until I wake up in the morning.

     

    So is there an easy to use and to record a stream and be able to change the quality of the stream and maybe make it monaural so I can just use 1 earbud to listen to it .

     

    Thanks for your ideas

  4. I really just want  to be covered if there is a cheap fare somewhere and I have the time to grab it.....

    its not the 2799 baht as I can always use the data at home if I have a bunch left at the end of the 12 months , 

    If it works as advertised , then I can just get off the plane and have Data for Line , whatsapp , skype etc

    If I see a need for a local sim then I can get that in a day or 2 but I am covered for Data , 

    I am not going to use the Data for Netflix etc so if will last a long time , I have 5GB a month ( now 8GB ) in the USA and do not use half of it , 

    The only problem is with the Fly2sim is there are very few reviews in english of how it works in Europe , I am sure Thais have left reviews  in Thai that I will never find , 

     

    I am realistic , its never going to be 100% , thats OK , 

    And maybe its better to get a separate Thai Sim and just use the Fly2sim for out of Thailand  use , 

     

    Anyway , I do appreciate your thoughts , I know there are more than one answer  , I am just trying to learn if there are any land mines along the way ????

     

    Cheers

  5. Thanks for your  ideas , 

     

    does the Sim2fly sim allow data to be used in Thailand ?

     

    Like I said earlier the main idea is being to have Data when I do other places in Asia or to Europe , 

    I could just get another Sim card for Thailand calls text and data

     

    Does True  or anyone else have the same idea for an  International plan ?

     

    and it seems you can turn the Sim2fly international roaming on and off , when you turn it off does it extend the 1 year validity ?

     Again thanks for your ideas.....

     

  6. Hi
    I wanted to get the one year AIS Sim2fly sim with 15GB for 2799 baht , 
    Its good for a year and works in most of Asia and Europe , 

    Anyway can I have a regular Thai number with calling and SMS on this Sim if I pay extra.
    And can all the AIS add ons  be added to this sim like a normal sim ?

    I need a Sim to use when traveling in Asia and Europe , this could solve 2 problems I hope , a Thai number with calling , SMS and Data  and International Data.

    But will this work like that ?

  7. My sister has  a few month old Desktop and got scammed by an Indian "Text Support"  who said she had a "Firewall" problem . 

    they scammed her out of $1000s .....

     

    I would bet they also installed something on her computer , and yesterday she called and said it would not  boot up.....

     

    So I guess 2 questions......

     

    If I can get it started up ,  is there a back-up already on the HD that would not be infected ?

    if there is , how do I get to it ?

     

    And if there  is not a back-up Win 10 ,then how can I make a Portable USB Win 10 start-up to get it back running ?

     

    Thanks for your help.....

     

    PS......yes the Indian Tech guys were very convincing , and my sister not knowing anything fell for it , 

    So watch out if you have family who are not Tech savey

  8. BBC Click show had something about 5G last week 

     

    it seems great for cities , but the signal does not go very far so you need 1000s of base stations , too many to put out in the countryside , 

     

    Plus it does not go thru buildings etc very well.....

     

    if this info is correct I do not see it as a big plus except in areas that have enough money and people to make it pay off...

     

    But yes its VERY fast.......

     

    More interesting is the new GPS the japanese are doing that will get down to a few inches of where you are at ,  this will help with self driving cars and farm equipment......

  9. Hi ,   I was wondering how a TENS  machine works , 

     

    I know it zaps you with an "electric shock"  but does it actually help "cure"  anything or just mask where it hurts , 

     

    Looking on Google you get reports that it works  and other reports that it does nothing , 

     

    These machines are available from $20 to $200 ,  so is it the quality of the machine or ????

     

    For me , I would mostly use it on an ankle that hurts some times after a long walk , and also a knee  that acts up only a little ., 

     

    Anyway I would like to hear your experiences if you use one

     

    THANKS
