I've found out that in some places where one has to be vaccinated to attend, Thai personnel intended to check the visitors' vaccines don't actually verify them and just make a photo of anything you show to them, be it your Thai driving license or your dog's vet passport. So now I need the topic stuff even less, given that I have a Thai driving license. It is one of a very few examples when I like the "TiT" attitude

US government gets hacked too, but at least the US government officials do not order government websites from a friend's nephew like Thai officials do. Local government websites (especially those created for foreigners) are clearly made by some school boy as as "my first website" project.

Any ideas on how to work around this yet another TiT stuff? I'm thinking about registering a new Paypal account with US/EU IP address and US/EU home address (fake, of course), and linking my Thai bank card with it. This should work because Paypal does not check the card issuer country, only IP/home addresses (at least it was like this several years ago). Did anyone try that yet? ...that feel when you are forced to do stuff which others use for the illegal purposes, but for the completely legit purposes.

oh fcukk, I didn't even realize that. I have several important subscriptions with paypal for which it will be difficult to change the payment method.

I know that Medpark offered Pfizers for a long time already, but here on Phuket it's a very different story. I've visited all major hospitals on Phuket multiple times since the last summer and was always told that I could get only Astra/Sino as a first vaccine. Registration on expatvac did not yield any results either. However Pfizer vaccines were sometimes given for free, but in a random locations at random times and usually without any prior notifications. Those who wanted Pfizer instead of the widely available Astra/Sino had to register in many (mostly unofficial) Line groups and monitor them for the news. I don't need a vaccine that much to bear these inconveniences and prefer a simple walk-in, possibly with some payment.

Thailand is not a member of the Apostille Convention so the documents signed by a Thai notary might be not accepted in another countries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostille_Convention You should go to your embassy instead. Or at least verify that a Thai notary's signature will be accepted.

Still looking for a totally legit and legal Pfizer vaccine.

A modest reminder on the quality of the local government websites:

Does Shopify lock you with a limited merchants list or you could use any 3rd party merchant? If the latter - try omise.co

it's "XTREEM3", not "XTREME 3" :) and that's why reviews show that the speaker comes loose - without the box.

share a link so we could check it.

I meant "total import tax", not "total VAT". All my posts boil down to a simple thing: - close to 100% shipments sent by usual Post have 0% import tax (regardless that everything should be taxed 7%) - close to 100% shipments sent by courier services such as DHL, UPS, whatever, have 7% import tax and sometimes even more than that.

Have you read "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion"? You really should.

P.S. to moderators - I suggest to rename this thread to something like "Ordering a Lenovo Thinkpad & import tax" or moving messages about import taxes to another thread.

yep, just was charged 10% extra tax for USB flash drives total 17%!!! And FYI: UPS charges extra 200 THB "disbursement fee", a bit less than DHL (214)

you seem to be confused with terminology. M2 is a type of connection and 2.5 is a size ("2.5 inch"). The "22-80" SSDs are "M2" ones, and there is no such thing as "2.5 inch M2". Also there are different m.2 drives - SATA and NVMe, the former are slower ones and the latter are faster. you will need to buy m.2 SATA SSD for such adapter, which limits the speed and future upgrade possibilities, as m.2 SATA are inferior to m.2 NVMe, and m.2 NVMe SSDs are not suitable for such adapters. I would suggest to buy a usual 2.5 inch SATA SSD instead of m.2 SATA SSD. Also if you mistakenly buy m.2 NVMe you might face difficulties returning it back to shop.

and that's exactly the reason why I'm transitioning from Linux system administration to information security. I'll always be employed

...but does he want to become an expert programmer == nolifer? The happiest programmers out there do not understand how things work but still get their thousands $s coding in Python & friends.

In Thailand, same as the first one. Got blocked for using Netherlands VPN. So now I don't use VPN when logging in to paypal or ebay (== paypal)

????

nice! Where could I download the passport scans of the cryptodotcom users who passed KYC?

exactly! ???? and also you could scam the uninformed seller by sending a transaction, receiving the (usually digital) goods and then reversing the transaction with Replace-By-Fee before the transaction gets 1st network confirmation.

token burn works differently - you destroy _your_ tokens not somebody else's.

12. The transactions are irreversible (after 2 network confirmations) so the malicious buyers could not scam you like they do on Ebay - claim that you've sold them a faulty item and get full moneyback while keeping the purchased item.
