  1. OK. I think you have to update Firefox then. If that is not straightforward because it's an old version of Ubuntu, then update Ubuntu.

     

    You mentioned that Ubuntu 16.04 is LTS - from what I can see, Ubuntu 16.04 is end of life, unless you specifically sign up for Extended Security Maintenance. This seems to be free for personal use, but you have to register.

     

    Why not just upgrade?

    Further problems with my Yahoo Mail;  all incoming mail is going straight ti 'delted items' box and being kept there.   Seems to have been happening since new year.  Also the same on my notebook with the same Yahoo address.  

    Is this a Yahoo thing?  Because I have not upgraded to the New Yahoo Mail that wants money?

    If it is a marketing ploy, they are not being very clear about what they are selling, as my e-mail, here in Thailand if important to me and I would pay for aa decent service

    Seeing as no-one else has given the correct answer to this:

     

    Your email has been compromised (i.e. someone has the password). If you still have access then log in and reset your password to something unique immediately.


    Check "filters" in settings as I suspect you will find the rule there that is sending your emails to deleted items - this was done by the hacker so you didn't notice any replies to messages he's sending.


    Also consider warning anyone you regularly email that they may have received scam messages that appear to be from you.

     

    If you use the same password onother services then change those too.

  3. I think it must be a VPN app or some browser extension on your PC, that's the only thing that makes sense here.


    Can't explain the TV though.

     

    As mentioned, testing on a phone at the same time as the issues occur would definitely help.

  4. OK, PC not laptop.

     

    No idea what's going on with your setup. Can't think of any possible reason that your TV box would disconnect its wifi signal when this issue happens on your PC.


    Testing on wifi via a phone / tablet or just another device would be very useful to know. Can't you connect your phone to wifi to test?

  5. To answer your original question without the pointless bickering, no I wouldn't go near those deals. You will be a named user on somebody else's account and it could disappear at any time. Certainly wouldn't trust it with any important data.

     

    If you want to use cloud storage, do it properly and pay for the service. As mentioned, Microsoft 365 family is pretty good value.

  6. What happens when you try the same thing on your phone or tablet when connected to wifi? Everything about this from what I can see points to it being something on your laptop.

     

    You are lucky AIS are so lenient, in the UK they would (rightly, I think in this case) be very reluctant to send an engineer and you'd be charged something like £120 for each visit that turned out to be a local (i.e. not an ISP) issue.

  7. Background:

    Arrived earlier this month on CoE with single entry Non-O (Thai wife) e-visa approved by London Consulate.

     

    Completed 1 night quarantine at hotel, passed PCR test and since then living with wife in BKK.

     

    Assuming the hotel submitted a TM30 for me, does my wife now have to do this again or can it just wait until I do the 90 day report? I also plan to extend for 12 months, if that is relevant.

     

    Thanks.

    This is a copy of my booking confirmation I received immediately after booking via Agoda. This is from a hotel after you screened the "quarantine hotels" only selection. If we look at my highlights, is this type of confirmation sufficient for TP or should I get another one? I purchased this 3 days ago and haven't heard from the hotel in any way.

    Might be too late but I submitted this for my Certificate of Entry application and it wasn't enough, they need an extra letter that the hotel send you after booking so I assume it will be the same for Thailand Pass.

     

    Also, my email from the hotel was in junk mail (of course) so might be worth checking there.

    My first choice would to be like others said and only bring the essential parts (HDD/SSD, Ram, MB, CPU, GPU) with you, bubbled wrapped and boxed, and you can buy and build the rest. Hopefully customs won't give you a problem.

     

    The 2nd option is learn about desktop remote access and set up your desktop with with programs like: Anydesk or Google's Chrome Remote Desktop or TeamViewer or VNC Viewer, leave your desktop at home and bring a laptop with you, then access your desktop from the laptop overseas.  

     

    If you have Windows 10 Pro;

    Latency from Thailand > Europe makes any kind of Remote Desktop a fairly unpleasant experience.
