  1. All of the above look very appetising.
  2. I ditto that ref: Mini PC's. I've had great luck with mine, which is a Voyo brand. In other words, an off brand. Bought it for my GF's father who was living in a retirement home with minimal space for a PC. He kept it in a drawer and plugged it into the HDMI of his big screen TV when he used it. It worked great for him for years, and for us since he passed about a year ago. But if money's tight, I'd look into a 2nd hand PC from one of the IT malls like Fortune Town, the old Pantip Plaza (is it still there?) and some in Chinatown. I'm sure every city in Thailand has one... For less than half the price of a new one, with specs that more than match today's entry level PC's. For example, an 8th generation I7 will match a 13th generation I3 for benchmark speed. Then you just need to make sure it'll take the desired OS. For example, my 8 year old Asus won't take Win11, but the more I read about Win11, the less sad that makes me. It's still plenty fast and very stable. Caveat: Don't go too old lest you end up with serial ports and old timey video instead of HDMI. Unless, like me, you have a real old printer or plotter that needs a serial or parallel port. In my case, a cutting plotter. I'm also a fan of mini-pcs. I bought a low spec intel NUC (Celeron) and upgraded the Ram to 16GB the M2 SSD to 512GB from 256GB. It came with Win 11 Pro pre-installed, which I removed and put Ubuntu on instead. The reason being is that QBittorrent (the main application) runs much better under Ubuntu than Windows IMHO. It's plugged into my main TV. I use it to find & download & play media, as well as general web browsing and music. It works very well. If my main pc (self assembled) ever dies I will have no hesitation in buying another NUC with a higher spec than my existing NUC to replace it.
  3. I normally buy the pork Cumberland (thick/thin) sausages from Nookie and they are really good. He has quite a few varieties on offer. Here is an extract of his price list:
  4. I've just watched Land of Bad and it was good IMHO. It was brought to my attention by @earlinclaifornia. I got it from TGx. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt19864802/
  5. Masters of the Air complete season 1 is now available on TGx. It's already been mentioned on this forum. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2640044/
  6. Thanks for all your hard work Mike. Due to your (and a couple of other posters) fine efforts, I now feel I have the knowledge and confidence to deal with the Thai RD when the time comes. Thanks again.
  7. Since changing browser from Brave to Iron browser, I no longer get the error. Mods, please close this topic.
  8. Earlier in the week, I watched season 1 of Hit & Miss. It was good and worth a look IMHO. I got it from TheRARBG. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2232345/
  9. I've just watched The Promised Land (Bastarden) and it was very good and well worth a look IMHO. It was recommended by @Seppius and mentioned by a few other posters earlier in this topic. I got it from TGx. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt20561198/
  10. 3BB GIGA fibre 1Gbps/1Gbps for 749 baht per month
  11. Perhaps Judge McAfee is giving Honest Don a "win" to appear fair, before dismissing the case to disqualify DA Fani Willis.
