I think you are wrong.

nobody is saying beer or alcohol is dangerous.

Absolutely not!  Beer is not dangerous! Pint mugs or whatever you call them are the dangerous items.

We should ban glasses, mugs, coffee cups and anything that people can touch and then hand to you.

The new bar will consist of a robot that aims the beer into your open mouth.    Each time you open your mouth, you'll get a squirt.  Just make sure you swallow.

What could go wrong?

I've downloaded Bittorrent and have a VPN

Likely the VPN is your problem.  I have AIS, and I can tell you that with port forwarding enabled, the router won't allow peers to connect.  AIS does not give you a straight connection to the internet.  I have not put the router in bridge mode and that may solve the problem.

Has anyone ever heard a government official explain what logic there is to no alcohol while eating? 

You can seriously ask a logical question when it concerns government and worse, the Thai government?

Really?

Did you also know that since the corona virus appeared nobody has even caught it from a pint glass?

Unless your pint glass is immersed in a swimming pool, I would not trust it.

Drink your beer through a straw.

I'm so sorry to tell you, but your example was sorely lacking.

My question is on which super secure server is my super secure info stored? Is all the info in my phone mined by the government or can it be accessed by a hacker? Who pays when the system is breached? Asking for a friend.

I'm sure it will all be stored on a server in CHINA.

Like they'd say in the old country...  Toughsky poopsky.

When you load this app, who is going to make sure you scan in when you walk into a store?  Store people?  The same people who ignore you because you are white and they don't speak English?

It's going to be bedlam and disaster.  I can't wait to see the crowds gather at the doors as the nudnik's stand there downloading the app and waiting for it to install before being allowed into the mall.

ps....are you so sure your phone was made in canada ? 

No.  Many components in a phone made in Korea for example, come from CHINA.  It too years to allow the CHINESE to take over countries and the supply chain, so it will take time to throw these &*$&$&$&87  a holes out.

Some people are seriously struggling with the numbers if they can justify in any form the ongoing measures!

 

Unless you are pro New World Order as that is obviously what it the "agenda" has become!

It was essential "It went from “flatten the curve” to “find the cure”. From “social distancing” to “house arrest”. From “2 weeks” to “3 months”. From “we’re in it together” to “snitch on you neighbours”. From “individual liberty” to “comply or pay fine”. We lost the target. And government knows it."

Now that CHINA has been declared safe by the Stupid is as Stupid does crowd, you can throw all the accomplishments out the window.

There is no evidence that the virus that causes COVID-19 can be spread to people through the water in pools, hot tubs, spas, or water play areas. Proper operation and maintenance (including disinfection with chlorine and bromine) of these facilities should inactivate the virus in the water.

Where is Forrest Gump saying "Stupid is as stupids does ...?" 

Somehow it's ok to have 4 people in a small box called an elevator as long as they face the corners and not each other.  It's amazing the lemmings in this country who will dutifully place their feet on the feet drawings someone placed on the floor of the elevator.

Pool bad, elevator good.  Sauna bad, Chatuchak Market good.

Stupid is as stupid does.

Wow, who knew that was a thing?

Sikarn, 50, look pity on "Boy" who contacted him on Facebook saying he was desperate for a job.

 

He offered him the chance to work in his restaurant. But on Wednesday Big said he was not feeling well and asked for a day off.

Who would have thought that his nicknames were "Big & Boy."

“If people have to go outdoors, they must wear face masks, maintain distance from others and avoid going to crowded places. The windows of hair salons, restaurants, workplaces and houses should be opened for ventilation.”

If you maintain distance from others, you don't need a face mask. 

Ventilation:  Someone should tell the idiot management at my condo who insists on closing all the windows in the condo hallways at even the hint of rain.  No amount of common-sense prevails.  You can mention virus all you want, but the idiot manager will respond about how water might get inside.  I always respond that virus should be let outside and mixed with fresh air, much like the huge wind tunnel in her head.

At my last house I was connected to True by my landlord. It was quite unreliable. Every night at 9 it disconnected regardless of what I was doing. Twice a month it broke. Still the landlords offspring was something at True so it may have had something dodgy about it.

 

Now I am with AIS and it is much more reliable even when using a VPN. I'm not that happy with my VPN though as it fails the Netflix test.

AIS in two places, has consistently provided the DL and UL I pay for. My VPN stays connected for days -yes, Netflix.

First of all, thanks for all of your replies. I certainly didn´t expect my initial question to result in such a rather "controversial discussion". ????

As for the VPN causing the modem/router to soft-reboot, I still do not have a definitive answer based on my observations, today. The day started off in a way that I thought "it is definitely the VPN" because 2 minutes after starting the Mac and the VPN the modem did indeed reboot. Then another 10 minutes or so later, it did again. I thought I had found the guilty party. But that might have been the wrong conclusion because after the box had the second soft-reboot the connection was indeed stable for the next few hours.

 

Later on, I realised that my Mac was using the 2.4Ghz rather than the 5Ghz connection. A couple of minutes after I changed to the 5Ghz network, .... yep, the modem rebooted. Could the modem probably not handle 3 or so active 5Ghz devices simultaneously? After all, as many people write here and elsewhere, the Humax hardware doesn´t seem to be very good (to put it mildly). In the end, it motivated me to look for my Apple router that I hadn´t used for years and somehow I managed to connect it with the Humax, set it up and since this afternoon the Wifi as well as the LAN connections are all handled by the Apple Time Capsule. So far, so good. The cable modem has not had a single hiccup since and the speed (according to the various speed testing sites) is now significantly higher, as well. 

 

So, maybe, just maybe it wasn´t anything to do with the VPN or the 5Ghz wifi but just a poor piece of hardware used by True. I don´t know the answer just yet but it has certainly been a nice experience to go for 8 hours without the modem doing a soft re-boot. Fingers crossed that it´ll stay that way.

 

Again, thanks for your replies and enjoy the upcoming weekend.

Before you make any conclusions, may I suggest you factory reset your router/modem from TRUE.

Again, don't listen to Cisco certs and 30+ years in the tech business as a consultant ... what do I know?

Not one of the "experts" here responded to my comment about layer 1.

If your wired speeds are so slow and much slower than your wifi, I would try replacing your Cat 5 cable, or remove that heavy desk that is sitting on top of it.
