What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2024)
Andrew Dwyer replied to Rimmer's topic in Entertainment
Yup, i watched all S01 and loved it, it is an action/fantasy/sci fi/adventure and was right up my street. Not for everyone and I understand some won’t even entertain it but for me it was great. Based on a video game apparently. -
Thai EV Market Remains Unfazed by European Sales Downturn
Andrew Dwyer replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Haven’t seen any of the issues mentioned in the link here in Thailand other than the paint adherence issue on front and rear bumper mentioned already on this forum. Thankfully i haven’t personally had any issue with my BYD and am very happy with the car. The BYD car i bought here is 40% more expensive in the U.K. and on a recent 3 week visit i only saw 1 BYD ( an Atto 3 ) despite having a dealership around 20 miles away. Tesla seemed the most prevalent EV in the area I was staying, with Polestar, MG and Ionic a close second. A lot of EV’s I didn’t instantly recognise such as Corsa, Jag, Peugeot, Kia etc but in the U.K. an EV has a green vertical stripe on the license plate for easy identification. Strangely, after spotting a couple of Tesla’s without the green stripe I learned ( thanks Google ) that the stripe is not mandatory and has to be asked for specifically on registration …… what’s that all about ?? This then became a game of “ spot the EV with no green stripe “, Tesla won that game for whatever reason. -
Replacement LED ceiling light, Translation please!
Andrew Dwyer replied to Daffy D's topic in The Electrical Forum
I bought a similar replacement ( from fluorescent to LED ) and the instructions told me to remove only the starter and retain the ballast. Have changed around 5 and they all work fine. Flickering on start up used to drive me nuts ! -
Looks like a Neta V .

Your attitude could get people hurt or even killed. Kids: ” Dad, what do those red flags mean ? “ RP: ”how should i know, go on, get yourselves in the water then “ -

Electric Vehicles in Thailand
Andrew Dwyer replied to Bandersnatch's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
So this “ EV “ has a 1.5 litre Turbo internal combustion engine and up to 60 litres of fuel in a tank as well as the 40 kWh ternary battery ? But let’s forget that this wasn’t a full EV vehicle and label it together with all EV issues, meanwhile the cause of the accident was believed to be caused by technology also found in ICE vehicles. https://asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Caixin/Fatal-car-crash-mars-Huawei-s-efforts-to-break-into-EV-market#:~:text=On April 26%2C an Aito,who was in the car. -
Electric Vehicles in Thailand
Andrew Dwyer replied to Bandersnatch's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
This video again ?? Wasn’t this posted a few days ago ? Only 1 minute in it shows an obviously NOT EV running into the back of a truck. The creator of this video is renowned for his anti china and anti EV policies. -
12 month data SIMs - Looking for recommendations
Andrew Dwyer replied to Chillypom's topic in IT and Computers
You can buy an eSIM but i think the cheapest way will be to buy a cheap 1 year data sim from Lazada and ask the provider to convert it to an eSIM to fit to your iPhone. I use a iPhone 13 Max Pro with 1 physical SIM card slot but also eSIM compatible, tired of swapping SIM cards when travelling i converted my True SIM to eSIM and have my U.K. SIM card permanently installed. I can now switch between the two in settings at will or leave both switched on. I believe you can have numerous eSIM’s in an iPhone now. -
12 month data SIMs - Looking for recommendations
Andrew Dwyer replied to Chillypom's topic in IT and Computers
Take your phone to your provider and ask if they can set up ESIM. Or you can try yourself by clicking Settings then Mobile Service and follow the instructions. I had a 1 year data sim from True which I tried to convert to Esim via the iService app but it failed ( due to the passport photo i think although it wasn’t clear why it failed). Went to True shop and they did it quickly although it took 24 hours before it became available and I could remove my physical sim. -
BYD Seal tips, tricks and help
Andrew Dwyer replied to macahoom's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Some good points, albeit the usual comparisons with Tesla. I have to agree that the regen levels in the Premium are very low, maybe we will get one pedal driving with an OTA ( I think MG did this ? ), having come from a car with one pedal i would welcome it. One annoyance that gets me is having to actually depress the button on the door handle for it to pop out rather than just swiping your finger across or taking it one step further to have the car unlock automatically with proximity of the key in your pocket. -

BYD Seal tips, tricks and help
Andrew Dwyer replied to macahoom's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Today Mrs D called me ( am in the U.K. for my sins ) and told me one of the local visiting cats had given birth to a litter of 4 kittens under my Seal and she is having some difficulty in removing them, worried they will make a permanent home up in the undercarriage !! Yet more proof that Thais are favouring EV’s over ICE , choosing to ignore my neighbours MUX, Accord and Ford Ranger !! I think this now resolves the debate between EV and ICE …… you’re welcome. P.S. can cats carry rabies ? -

Nope, don’t think so, you just regret posting it, like when you slagged off Thailand and moved back to Canada, how did that work out for you ?

No charging option in condo - Need advice
Andrew Dwyer replied to Dewey's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
I think the op wasn’t too clear in his original post but from what i understand he bought a PHEV ( a plug in hybrid ) which will give him a relatively small range ( 40 to 70 km ) in EV mode but also has the benefit of an ICE also. The battery will also reclaim a charge using regen as he drives in ICE mode. So it’s not a disastrous decision as some are alluding to, having a home or condo charger is not necessary for a full EV car it is just more convenient, in a PHEV it is even less of an inconvenience, -
I would use the small orange machine outside Seven of you just want to add credit. Or you can use the iService app as quoted above. The app will allow you to choose a different plan ( package ) to add to your existing number, choosing from various speeds, volumes and lengths of plan, also whether you want calls or data ( or mixed ).
