Peking China? I was referring to the crazy out-of-focus result in the image. The MACRO setting is garbage. This camera phone is OK for .....anything but semi-serious photography...unless...I might be doing something wrong which keeps the camera from focusing properly. So then, the MACRO setting, and MACRO lens in this phone is basically useless?

I am familiar with what you are speaking of, and your concerns. However, in all honesty, I would be far more concerned with the UK going.... Clockwork Orange, rather than going "Orwell-1984". I also am familiar with the APPLE ad/commercial you are alluding to, which everyone thought magnificent. I did not like it, a bit. The ad you are alluding to is this one: JOBS and APPLE: An authoritarian company run by a control freak, even back then in 1984. And, nothing has changed much, even now in 2025. In fact, APPLE is even more authoritarian than it ever was. I hate Apple products, And, anyone using Apple products is a fool, or just someone who could not care less about being FREE.... Apple users have nothing to complain about, after making their decision to choose Apple for computers, phones, or anything else.... What about those tags that you love so much???? When someone shoots himself in the foot...then... It's bound to hurt a bit. So...why complain?

Dear Folks, I am very, VERY pleased with the A55-5G phone, for what I normally use it for. Great amount of RAM, 12GB Adequate internal memory storage: 256GB Very reasonable cost, quite undeniably! However, when it comes to photography...haha....because... IMHO, it's still a JOKE compared to my old camera which I purchased...back in...1978. This is why, anytime anyone asks me why I use my camera phone to take, mostly, nothing but images of store-purchase receipts, or maybe the neighbor's cat in my yard, I just say that it does not measure up to my 50-year-old camera, made by Nikon. For example, just a few minutes ago, I noticed that my mango tree was blossoming early this year. I decided to document it by recording an image of said blossom. I turned the camera on the phone to MACRO, and got up close, but not too close. Still, here is what the phone camera recorded.... What's wrong with this picture? Or, what's wrong with the camera of the phone, for that matter? Here is an image of my Nikon F2AS, a camera which I loved....so deeply. Also, it was a film camera, another thing I loved....so deeply. Do you even think that a Nikon would take such as sorry photo of a mango blossom as you see, above you? It never would. It never did. On the phone-camera, there is no way to focus the lens. Everything seems automatic. And, so, sometimes, the images turn out like this. I am not one to take many photos, daily, as I once thought I might. Still, when a mango blossom image turns out like this...then...it's such a let-down. Also, just look at the difference in the size of the lens! This is a 50mm lens, a NORMAL lens, on the Nikon. Gods only know what kind of creepy lens is in my Samsung phone. I must admit, the Nikon F2AS, back in 1978, cost about.... Today, the price of the F2AS would be about.... Therefore, I have absolutely NOTHING to complain about. I am ONLY asking and wondering about.... What's wrong with this mango-blossom picture? Next time, I hope to do better. Thank you. Regards, Gamma Note: Although this might, at first, seem like an Agricultural Topic, or a Photography Topic, or even a PHONE Topic....still..... Please keep me in the Pub, where I belong.... Thank you.

And then....?

Why did we come to Thailand, anyway....? If not for the ambiguity? If you don't relish ambiguity, maybe better to visit Germany?

It would be helpful to know if this is actually a hard and fast rule. If one is delayed by up to 40 days, as you say, in renewing the retirement visa, for whatever reason, if just paying a fine would suffice. If this were the case....then....for sure... Basically NOT a problem....compared to having to start the entire process over from the beginning, having to leave and return, or even worse. This would be worth checking out. Or, would the decision be based solely on the discretion of the individual officer handling this issue.

Compared to the original least improved version. Trump is improving with age, just like the fine wine he is. What kind of wine? How do I compare thee, Mr. Trump? Lovely, like the bouquet of ....say... Zinfandel? And, Trump is becoming riper by the day.

I do not like, nor can I abide living in; places with slow, or even moderately fast, internet. I must have SUPER-FAST at very low cost. There is no other way for a country, a family, an individual, to improve without BLAZING FAST internet. We need vid conferencing (for education, etc...). And, we need it at ZERO cost. This is the only way. Anything less is SUPER-shortsightedness.

Sure. I could go for some, right now, in fact. I can even envision myself, out on the outback, corned-Kangaroo tail in hand. Gazing at the firmament. In pig heaven. I don't need much company. I just need a super-fast internet, and a dentist, once in a while. I am very suited to outback life. Or, almost anywhere like that, that doesn't have CM air traffic rattling my windows, 18-hours of the day.

Please use this guy, whenever you need GREAT Service.... He is great. He helped me much, on several moves. I won't forget his good service, anytime soon, if ever.... https://chiangmairemovals.com/about-us His business continues to grow...and so... He must be doing something right.....

Go easy on the NSAIDs...

In my opinion, Trump 2.0 is the improved version. My guess is that Trump has learned a thing or two since his first occupation of the WH. Trump is a much humbler man, these days, full of introspection and humility.

I am fine with rabbit stew. Chicken is good. Rabbit is also good.

I do not wear hats. Even in the noon-day Sun. I do NOT wear hats. Those hats, or let's say baseball-caps... Just look too dumb. Even when I was pre-school, I refused to wear baseball caps. They say baseball is an American game. I hate baseball. Hate MAGA, even more. MAGA is for those that love to climb-aboard some bandwagon....not caring where the bandwagon is going. I do not suffer fools gladly.

I hope this does not happen to me before I die. I have no doubt that exercise, in sufficient amounts, can improve almost every facet of one's general health. This is a valuable Topic, since encouragement to be screened is something one should do. And, this is a reminder, as well, that one should not slack off on a suitable exercise regimen....or wait before beginning one... Until it is just too late.

All the more reason to have stayed in the outback, and to not have chosen to move to Chiang Rai, I would say... I could live in the outback, for sure. I am NOT joking. But, for me, at my age, it's a bridge too far. Also, I prefer Thai culture, and Asian culture, and Chinese culture. Probably not too many Chinese wandering about the outback, setting up homesteads, I would imagine.

Thankfully... You did not say... "Milk in Tea". Otherwise, would have been compelled to add you to my IGNORE list.

Let's not throw out the baby with the bathwater. OSS will continue to evolve, in a good way, as it always does. This is the closest thing the software world has to Natural Evolution at its best. We all know that Form should Follow Function. But, in a closed-source model, the evolution of software becomes warped, and not purpose driven, or user-need driven. MS software is full of garbage, especially the newest OS. The purpose of MS software it make maximum money for MS. Everybody knows this.

You mean, KAL is using noisier aircraft to fly out of CM airport? I had been wondering about this. But, have no clue.

I have tried, and tried... Apparently without success. Is there a place on Earth, nowadays, that is not under a flight path? Patagonia, maybe?

Shipping by the pound might be fairer to other passengers. All passengers should just be charged by the kilogram for their tickets. This is really the only sensible solution. Also, this would be healthier for America, too. This would incentivse weight loss, and lower the incidence of type-two diabetes.

This is all HYPE from Sammy. And, this might be just one of the reasons Elon hates him. I don't hate him, but just wish he would go away. Someday, maybe he will.... Such a thorn in Elon's side, and it's a pity. There is really no need for Elon or us to put up with this nonsense. The amount of money Sammy is bandying about, for his company, is ludicrous. This money will not be well-spent, and probably Musk realizes this. https://openai.com/index/announcing-the-stargate-project/ This looks like the advertising propaganda for Florida Real Estate in the 1950s.... Trump is crazy for falling into this trap. Trump should know more about scams, including Real Estate Scams, put forward by other hucksters of the same ilk. Let's now recall the famous honest words from Linus Torvalds....about NVIDIA.....years ago..... Never a truer word was heard.....

She sure does not look like....HOLLY GOLIGHTLY....a woman of Estimable Class..... What has become of the USA since those wonderful days? And...more to the point.... WHY???? I know why. But, think it pointless to point out the obvious, all over again.

I will remain in Thailand. At the very least, I will remain in Asia. Thailand is the best that Asia has to offer. I would choose to visit China, once again, if only the Chinese People could somehow get rid of XI.

This is a decision you yourself need to make. If you think you need to, then...who am I to say that you should not proceed with your citations. I must warn you, however, that I am not one to be impressed by such things.
