  1. Sometimes, Widows 10 updates can get stuck at 100%, which leaves one without access to their computer. It happened to me, and I had to use f8 - system restore. What a time consuming pain it the butt!

    Afterwards, I opened properties on my network connection, and set it to "metered connection." Now, Windows only downloads security updates.:

     

    "How to Enable or Disable Allow Automatically Download Updates over Metered Connections in Windows 10


    By default, Windows Update in Windows 10 will automatically download and install updates, except on metered connections where extra charges may apply. In that case, Windows Update will automatically download only those updates requited to keep Windows running smoothly.

    If wanted, you are able to allow Windows Update to automatically download updates over metered connections.

    This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable Windows Update to automatically download updates over metered connections in Windows 10."

    Most of my downloads go automatic at nigh. I got sickrage on my NAS it will download the series I want totally automatic without me doing a thing (ok at one time i select a series and then every time it checks if there are new episodes). I usually download from newsgroups at blazing speeds. So its not an issue. I got the best fiber internet combined with newsgroups i get downloads over half a Gbps. So that is fast enough.

     

    But need to check if my fire tv and shield tv display it good. I have no worries about my PC's

    Thanks for the "sickrage" tip.

    Yeah, newsgroups are a good source. It has been quite a while since I used them

    Cheers.

     Just in case you had not gotten it the format that is almost twice as much is the one comonly used. I normally did not even consider downloading in this format. Now it just might because a 50% difference in room on a hd is a lot.

    Not to mention quicker download times.

     

     

  4. Remember what "beloved, part of the family" Travis the chimp did to Charla Nash: (WARNING - GRAPHIC PHOTO FOLLOWS -)

    The horrifying story of Travis: The face-eating chimp raised as a human

    "The emergency crew described Nash's injuries as "horrendous".Within the following 72 hours, Nash underwent more than seven hours of surgery on her face and hands by four teams of surgeons. The hospital provided counseling to its staff members who initially treated her because of the extraordinary nature of Nash's wounds.Paramedics noted she lost her hands, nose, eyes, lips, and mid-face bone structure, and received significant brain tissue injuries.Doctors reattached her jaw, but announced on April 7, 2009, that Nash would be blind for life. Her injuries made her a possible candidate for an experimental face transplant surgery."

  5. My last 2 Chiang Mai GFE were 24 and 31. They were hot, sexy, experienced - thus they really turned me  on.  Last October - when I moved back to Patts - I was mortified by the ubiquitous old gals in  the massage parlors. None of them  understood the importance  of GFE, nor the art  of the slow massage warm up. In short, they didn't turn me on. In fact they bored me half to death - to the point  that Kamagra was  only marginally effective.

     

    So,  I am  in  pornhub monk mode until things improve.

    the OP doesn't have a clue, hence why he started this thread. Definitely not a CPU, 1080p is over 10 years old, even an old CPU from 2010 could run 1080p easily, I know I do all the time on some old PC I use for watching movies

    We are talking about 1080p HEVC (X265) Do you know the difference between x264 and x265?

    I am watching 1.8g 1080p x264 rips without any problem what so ever.

    Thanks

  8. I have a super hot Bridgette B nudie as my screen saver. I took the laptop  into the shop because it would not boot up. They hit a few keys, and - lo and behold - Bridgette appeared at the same time as a female employee walked by. Everyone started laughing. Man, the Thais can be really cool sometimes.

  9. My needs are - reliable web surfing, watching 1080p Blu Ray Rips, and photo editing with Paintshop Pro.

    4 years ago, I found a good used brand name laptop. Namely, a Dell Inspiron 1545. It has satisfied all my needs, and has cost me 2500 baht in repairs. (Motherboard rewritten, and a new hard drive) So, in total, I have had 4 years of service for 7500 baht.

    Research is the key.

  10. Head north on Naklua road, go past soi 27 (which is on your right) walk for a minute or two, and you will see a pharmacy clinic. He sells 20 tramadol for 100 baht. Many other places will charge much more.

    Incidentally, even at 20 for 100, he is making 50-60 baht.

    Avoid the clinic on the right hand side - they will charge 300baht for 20, not including a 100b doctor fee.
