  1. Reasonable explanation, with a few small issues:

     

    - The fast blocks in BCH didn't do anything for the processing fees, because of the standard block size in BCH being 8x larger, and any transaction (even with 0 fees) clears at the next block

    - The only 'advantage' was that transactions took less than the usual 10 minutes to be confirmed. 

    - The huge backlog in BTC transactions are a combination of factors:

    -- Because BCH was more profitable to mine for the reasons stated, of course miners switched to BCH chain en masse, leaving BTC with slow blocks, long confirmation times

    -- The discontinuation of segwit2x (which would have given more capacity in every BTC block mined) has led to a 'run to the bank' for people that actually try to use BTC for anything (BCH has a better use case for actually moving coins around)

    A few things about this unfortunate incident are raising alarm bells

    1. She was notified of the death by a hotel staff. Usually this is done by the embassy due to the sensitivity of the situation

    2. Uncommon for an elderly man to be traveling without insurance

    3. All 6 of his children cannot pull any money together and they're asking the public for 10k

    4. Use a stock photo and throw a baby in.

  3. Original plan was:

    1,000,000

    However this was amended later, so now you keep the 4,000,000 THB (up to 15M)

    Soon enough it'll be 1M again though:



    However, the original proposals got amended a few years later. We will forego these changes, but below are the latest data as decided by the Thai goverment in April 2016 :

    Up to 10 August 2016 deposits were protected up to 25 million baht.
    Thereafter, protection will be in place for 15 million baht in deposits between Aug 11, 2016 and Aug 10, 2018; for 10 million between Aug 11, 2018 and Aug 10, 2019; for 5 million between Aug 11, 2019 and Aug 10, 2020; and for 1 million by Aug 11, 2020. 

  4. You mad? 

     

    ONE judge out of 9 voted 'not guilty'

    So convicted guilty 8 to 1. 

    Please read.

     

    Pison Pirun, a judge in the nine-member Supreme Court panel that ruled in the case over the rice-pledging scheme against ex-PM Yingluck Shinawatra case, was the only judge to rule her not guilty on the grounds that “she lacked the intention to cause loss or seek advantage she was not entitled to”.

  5. Samsung J7 Prime.

     

    Just got the OTA update to Android 7.0 (Nougat), which will be good for a 'while' yet.

    Phone is under 8K THB, has a huge battery (as it uses the same battery as the top-end models, but screen uses less power)

    If you want to get the Oreo OS update however, it's not certain if it will get it.

  6. The ones I got from Mega Home myself were all 240VAC tube replacement and are the only ones I can attest to for quality. They also have plenty of other types with separate power supply, but I don't know which voltages they stock as I had no use for them.

    Not wanting to hijack this thread, but also not important enough to start a new one, I have also some problem which maybe can be answered.

     

    I have my own single phase transformer, so am connected to the high voltage.

     

    Almost every day around the same time, 10.30am, my connection will shut for a second.

     

    Just enough to restart everything in the house.

     

    Since it is always around the same time, and at least 3 days a week, this is not an electrical shortage or transformer fault.

     

    Any explanation for this, and what I can do about?

     

    Sounds like an issue at the switching or generating station, if they switch to a different generating facility that is not quite in phase. Instead of a nice fluid switch-in new supply and then detach the old one, it's a complete disconnect and reconnect. Good luck finding anyone that gives a ****. 

     

    Only solution is to buy a UPS, and connect your internet boxes, PCs and monitors to it (and another one maybe for TV and cable / iptv box), so it won't inconvenience you too much.

    As the cut-outs are very short any cheap UPS will do. (Aim for ~1000THB)

     

  8. As long as the meter doesn't smoke there is no reason to replace it. If you have a 5/15 now it will happily run at a 100% overload forever

    However with 3 ACs on and maybe some other household equipment it will run way over its calibration point (5A) so will most likely read high

    If you are still in the install phase, opt for the 15/45. If the thing is there already, let 'er burn :)
