In my opinion a lot to gain. Consider a mac mini for your next purchase. Only 21,000 baht now.

7 million too many?

The better way to run Windows programs is to use a VM and install Windows in it.

Those who said he never committed any crimes.

Free free to ask. It has had a GUI for a long time. I have used it for 13 years as my primary OS. You can use Libre Office which is file and function compatible with MS Office and is free. The better alternative is to use Google docs and sheets. My company mandates it. Firefox comes preinstalled. You can install any web browser including MS whatever they call it this month. Video editing software you'd need to research as I don't do any. Adobe don't produce linux versions afaik. VPN's are supported. Security software is not needed. The permission structure in linux blocks self installation of any app without password. Remote login is easy but you need to provide permissions so not a risk. There has never been a linux virus in the wild, only proof of concept. Stuff like ransomware doesn't happen in linux. Like anything, always use strong passwords, no reuse and 2FA where possible.

Unless you have a need for Windows only apps, I strongly recommend just going to linux, especially Ubuntu. No viruses and no rogue apps.

OMG. Just go home. I'm not the least bit surprised they shun you.

It resonates with you because he stereotyped Thais as being racists. Time to get out of Dodge.

Your original post was removed so lets just leave it at that.

The implication was clear - that mRNA vaccines are NOT covid vaccines. It was a veiled anti vax hit job.

It was clearly wilful, he has said that only suckers would pass up a business deal with Russia just because they were the US president.

Indeed, he just demonstrated the opposite is true in many cases.

As I understand it, his contract was up at the end of the month and he had fallen out with the top Russian military commanders. He wanted them replaced and they had failed to renew his contract. He decide to force their hand while expecting some Russian units to support him. This did not occur and he realised that he was not going to get to Moscow alive so he negotiated some kind of way out. He's toast now. The interesting question is what happens to his international criminal empire.

A really effective way of improving Thai's attitudes to you is to learn to speak some Thai and start with "thank you".

I was about to ask if you have anger management issues.

How do sane people vote for these whack jobs? Oh, wait....

I read recently that they are considering removing the scout uniforms to save the parents money. They will then have a regular uniform and a casual or sports uniform.

I thought they couldn't afford them.

Germany wanted to do that in the 30's.

Russia's smartest move would be to replace Putin with an actual democracy, decommission its nuclear stockpile and join the EU.

Poland has said it's willing to lead troops into Ukraine, presumably along the northern border with Belarus.

That's my strategy as well. Portable monitors are a bit expensive and small. When I came to Thailand I brought a monitor with me as it fitted in my baggage allowance. I only regret not bringing my newest monitor which was QHD, so I put up with my FHD. I think a mini desktop is the way to go. If I made frequent short trips I'd rather fork out for a portable monitor as the cost of an equivalent laptop is probably still higher, especially one with a 16 inch monitor. My daily driver is a mac mini m2 but I also have an ASUS PN-51 mini.

Apple macs can be upgraded for about 7 or 8 years typically. I doubt that Windows will update longer on hardware older than that. Most people would update their computers more often than that. People with hardware older than that should probably look at ubuntu.

A BBC commentator was saying that similar failed rebellions in Russia have portended bad outcomes in the past, such as one before the collapse of the soviet union. It's possible that we may soon see a black swan event which will propel the price of gold to new highs very quickly. It's just a thought.

I've pretty much decided to buy a mac mini m2 soon to replace my ASUS mini ubuntu machine which has a couple of issues with some software, particularly the Slack app. I won't get the pro, just the standard with optional 16 Gb RAM. I don't need the enhanced GPU for a lot more cash. The stock drive is only 256 Gb but I prefer to use external storage anyway. I was tempted to build a custom machine with Intel i7 13th gen and DDR5 RAM and run ubuntu on that but it would be considerably more expensive, albeit more fun. Does anybody have positive or negative experiences with the mac mini?
