the data is ultimately on the motherboard but if your son had cloud backups enabled then he might be able to recover photos, videos and some other data from his Google account. If he did not set up a cloud account then recovering the data will be from difficult to impossible, with all methods requiring a hardcore tinkering with the motherboard.

it is not a notarized copy of passport, usually they ask for "affidavit" saying something like "to whom it may concern, I hereby ask your kindly assistance for opening a bank account for Mr. Firstname Lastname, ambassador of the United States Mr. Asdfghj Qwertyuiop 26 December 2022"

of course no. If you want to be safe you have to use a separate phone dedicated to banking apps. I.e. use one phone for your casual stuff like sexting, playing games or browsing internets and another phone for banking only, without installing ANYTHING on it except those banking apps. And of course this phone must come from a reputable company and run a clean operating system without tons of preinstalled malware, e.g. an Apple iPhone or a Google Pixel, not a random chinese bullshít like xiaomi or oppo. P.S. despite Samsung is somewhat reputable company I would not recommend it for banking because their phones do not come with a clean Android operating system but rather filled with a bloat-/mal-ware with unknown functions and features.

yes, this should work, but there are some nuances: - as far as I remember a free Teamviewer license has a time limit, so you will have to reconnect every 30-60 minutes. - the Teamviewer ID (login) might change, especially if laptop reboots or IP address changes. So you might need to contact your sister and ask her to check and tell you the new ID/login. - if you will have to run some software other than the browser then this software will see that you use Teamviewer and will flag/blacklist you.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU~ Ebay got broken. Just a few days ago I was able to bid on items which have no shipping to Thailand (I'm using parcel forwarding services and thus have secondary addresses in USA and several European countries) but today Ebay refuses to accept a bid.

Etsy is good. But keep in mind that Thailand Post is prohibitely expensive (shipment with international tracking number starts from 800 THB) so for 2000 THB items it may be not feasible.

It seems that SSD storage is really exempt from extra tax, I've got another parcel inspected by Thai customs and was asked for 7% VAT only, the customs officer even wrote "8471 0%" on the declaration slip. Probably a solid state storage qualifies as HS code 8471 "Automatic data-processing machines and units thereof; magnetic or optical readers"

wow, that was a good laundry

yes, and this thing is called "VPN". You will need a VPN server installed at your home in US to connect to. It has to be run on either a dedicated computer (even the cheapest one will be capable of running a VPN server) or directly on the router if the router is high-end one (most cheap routers can't act as a VPN server) you have to use a proxy if you want to appear like being in another country. A web-based proxies like recommended above is a bullshít, a VPN based proxy is much better solution. And as I've said a few times already - you won't fool the "problem sites" without properly configuring your computer.

we definitely need the "crying" reaction back.

would not, because I do not control them. i.e. a mobile provider used by the target website could fail and won't send the SMS, my mobile provider could fail and won't receive the SMS, the USB token could break, etc. All this stuff could not happen with simple and reliable 2FA system such as TOTP (commonly referred to as "Google Authenticator app" but does not have to be used with this exact app)

I'd argue with that - it highly depends on the exact type of 2FA used. If the 2FA is of the type which is totally under your control - e.g. fully usable offline, capable of making a backup, etc, then ALWAYS use it. A good example is TOTP 2FA, hardware or software doesn't matter. If the 2FA is a bullshít which relies on a bunch of third parties not under your control - e.g. unusable offline, impossible to create a backup, etc - then consider it VERY carefully. An example is SMS 2FA to your phone or a USB security token.

if some random loosely coded website on the internet tells you that it did not detect a VPN it does not necessarily mean that you actually don't use a VPN, and that your target website would not detect a VPN. Try to use more advanced and recognized checkers such as: https://browserleaks.com/ip https://thesafety.us/check-ip https://whoer.net/#extended

Most wesites really do not care about visitors' IP adresses, however many still do, and if it was a nonsense there wouldn't be millions of threads like "please suggest a VPN which is not blocked by random_streaming_website_name". If you want to be 100% sure - you need a home IP not a datacenter IP.

an easier solution would be to buy a cheap computer and use a remote access software such as Teamviewer or Anydesk, and browse your target websites directly from that computer. But it must be located in your friend's house, who still must have a dedicated IP address from their home ISP.

Unfortunately you are wrong - web browsers share much more identifying information than they should, for example the current time zone and the supported keyboard layouts. You most likely have "Asia/Bangkok" and "en,th" which does not match your American VPN ????

if a target website owners would have IQ above 80 they most likely would detect and block datacenter IP addresses and allow only home IP addresses. guess which ones are used by Nord ????

I would ask someone who have bought a dedicated IP address from their home ISP to host a VPN server for me, then I would setup 2 virtual machines on my computer: 1) minimal Linux to connect to that VPN server and act as a "router" for another virtual machine 2) a "full" desktop OS for the desired tasks. This one would be connected ONLY to the first virtual machine, not to the host OS, and have to be tweaked accordingly for its job. For example, the DNS servers must be set to the target country of the VPN server, the time and date must match the target country, the system language must be set to the target country, the keyboard layout must NOT have Thai language and so on.

I've answered a similar questions already, search for "fdsa" in this thread https://aseannow.com/topic/1277117-surf-shark-vpn/page/2/ in short: a "VPN" or "Cloud Computer" will not help if you would have a datacenter IP instead of home IP, if you would not properly setup your computer settings, and if sysadmins of a target website would have IQ above 80.

the steps are "upload your Thai NDID and confirm your identity" ????‍♂️

did they analyze any app made by Google? I'd love to see a report on "com.google.android.gsf" and "com.google.android.gms" for example.

didn't read the thread lol

good idea, thank you! Yes, I've found how to leave a feedback for a cancelled order: https://community.ebay.com/t5/Buying/Seller-cancels-order-Can-t-leave-feedback/m-p/32038971/highlight/true#M358162 In short: go to your feedback profile https://www.ebay.com/fdbk/feedback_profile/ and you will see a list of orders "awaiting your feedback"

No I did not, I doubt they would care. If we are obliged to pay for an item if we make a bid then the seller must be obliged to sell an item if we win an auction. I've had the same experience even after the money "has changed hands" - I've won an auction, paid for the item+shipping, and shortly after the order was cancelled by the seller for the reason "Buyer asked to cancel", and several days later I've got a refund to my card. My winning bid was well below the item's market price again. What was that if not a dirty trick?

Of course this is not a scam per se, but a dirty trick bordering with fraud. We the buyers are presented with half a dozen of pop-up alerts telling "by placing a bid you are OBLIGED to buy this item" and might get blacklisted on Ebay if we would not buy, but once we win an auction the seller could simply cancel it like as having zero obligations with the bidders, and start a new auction for the same item with a higher starting price. And we could not even leave a feedback for an order cancelled by the seller on their own will, and thus their feedback rating stays 99.99% positive. I would love to leave a negative feedback for such tricks. If you do not want to sell an item for a low price then do not start an auction with $0.01 starting bid.
