Starlink Roam: Are you using it effectively in Thailand now?
KhunLA replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in IT and Computers
Not really ... ... "Hi, can you give me a price for Solar ? " ... "OK, and you can install it as soon as components arrive ?" ... "Next month is good for us ... you ?" .... THANK YOU Didn't even break a sweat StarLink shouldn't be any different, if ever approved. ... "How much ... same or just wee bit more than TOT " ... SIGN ME UP ... no more crappy internet or losing GPS signal when O&A. -
I believe that is called 'fake news' ... https://www.google.com/search?q=s%26p+500+history+chart&num=10&newwindow=1&sca_esv=6a9fea083e3aea47&sxsrf=AHTn8zpcM1-Rpr9Ru7eJb3V2xG0MkXgHkg%3A1743582597468&ei=hfXsZ66mHMGeseMPj5uz2Q4&ved=0ahUKEwju_O6q97iMAxVBT2wGHY_NLOsQ4dUDCBA&uact=5&oq=s%26p+500+history+chart&gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAiFXMmcCA1MDAgaGlzdG9yeSBjaGFydDIGEAAYBxgeMgYQABgHGB4yBhAAGAcYHjIGEAAYBxgeMgYQABgHGB4yBhAAGAcYHjIGEAAYBxgeMgYQABgHGB4yBhAAGAcYHjIGEAAYBRgeSJkiUABYyRlwAHgBkAEAmAGLAaABlgWqAQM1LjK4AQPIAQD4AQGYAgegAskFwgIIEAAYBRgHGB7CAggQABgIGA0YHsICCxAAGIAEGIYDGIoFwgIKEAAYBxgIGAoYHpgDAJIHAzQuM6AHjDWyBwM0LjO4B8kF&sclient=gws-wiz-serp

Starlink Roam: Are you using it effectively in Thailand now?
KhunLA replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in IT and Computers
Phone & internet is a huge revenue stream for Thai govt. Guessing StarLink would take a huge chunk of that. I know I'd switch over, just for spite. I hate monopolies and a good part of the reason we have Solar & EVs. -

Old news, though with current BYD sales, he'd be smart to buy back in ... .... IF, he hasn't already. He certainly did good, though missed a couple good years also.

KhunLA replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
The 'hate' is strong on this thread ... they are called accidents for a reason Snorkelers got a good holiday story. Speeding recovery to crew and other that may have been injured. -

Helen Mirren Criticizes James Bond Franchise for Its Deep-Rooted Sexism
KhunLA replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Really like her, but just retire gracefully, and don't be a hypocrite. Speaking out now, after you received plenty of paychecks for being in sexist movies. Wish they'd just go to work, do their job, and keep some of their thoughts to themselves. -
They really watered that down. Guess they don't want to be banned from the program. NASA & Boeing screwed them big time. And Biden, for not letting Musk bring them back before the election, thus giving him a thumbs up, and can't do that, since he was campaigning for Trump. What an embarrassment, all around. Biden, NASA & Boeing should be ashamed of themselves. Not to mention the wasted millions on failed projects.

What do you do with all your free time these days?
KhunLA replied to KhunLA's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Mostly photos and videos. Majority of the photos taken Dec 2018 and onward, as finally bought a real interchangeable lens camera.. Never did transfer any print photos over to digital. Drone photos & videos from 2011 onward. All they big drives are empty now, as all transferred to small SSD drives. Wife has six 2TB drives to sell. -
We don't need the grid at all. Just stay conx, JIC, system has an oops. Will occasionally use to charge the car, if needed after coming back from an O&A, as like coming back at 20%. We were O&A quite a bit in 2023, so a few months, on home 20 days, or less. 2023 ... Months we were away longer than a week ... 2024 ... I think I stopped keeping track for a while, as missing Oct, Nov Dec

It will only produce just a wee bit over what we consume, as inverter uses about 80w / hr. Think of it the same as water supply to a house. If not using it, it doesn't need to be brought in. Or petrol from tank to the engine. When the inverter senses a need for electric, simple allows more electrons to enter and be dispersed. Yes, charging the ESS is consumption. The March 2025 graph above shows what and where going and % used for feed the load. Of course if we exported, then I could easily produce 1500kWh a month, on a good, sunny month. We we did test exporting, and it did produce 50kWh for the day, and wasn't even a clear day. We didn't own the MG ZS EV then. The only 8 days we exported, before getting the digital meter.

Depending on the policy of course, if wanting basic, el'cheap or extras, at additional cost of course. Another silly generalization that does not 'fit all' 🙄

Used the thickest insulated BlueScope (3 thickness available ?) on present house, and 3 yrs on, and staying firmly on. Insulation wise, works great, with added rolled out insulation on all the ceilings. Also used the aerated block, K block or whatever version name goes by (not cinder), and the house stays very cool. South & West walls are almost entirely shaded. Sun is off the East facing glass doors by 0800 hrs, due to extended roof over the veranda, and full indoor curtain are used to block the sunlight. Little ambient comes through the glass itself. Have a 13k BTU in the bedroom (~25m²), and a 24k BTU in the main house area (~80m²). Open door between those rooms, and house stays very cool. ACs don't struggle at all. Laundry & storage room run the length of South wall, as buffer to main house. Carport on West side of house.

Healthy ... simply choose wisely. Cooked fresh and hot in front of you, if not take away. Also ... What is street food ? To me, that's a push cart on the street or walkway, or same at a night market. Not a brick & mortar building with running water, as that's simply a restaurant. Ma/pa, family owned small shophouse...still a restaurant. If a permanent 'stall' at a market, also having running water, then that's a restaurant also. Hygiene, so far, so good, and been ill 2X in TH, from food, and from nice, popular restaurants. Strangely, the same amount of time, ~25 yr span, ill from food in USA, also 2X, and from restaurants.

1800 - 0800 hr overnight is usually 6 - 8 kWh, as that's simply what we use, all that is needed. Only 1 AC on, if needed, and we're usually in the bedroom, unless snacking. Laptop / TV (65" monitor) is in bedroom, for torrents. Never curtail, restrict use of solar. Beginning of the month had nice temps, so didn't break 800kWh, let alone 1000kWh. If home for whole month, then Feb, Mar, Apr & May, we can hit 8-9-1000+kWh. There's only 2 of us. If another person & bedroom AC on, or main room AC on, then we'd use twice as much, or more. ACs are heavy duty inverters, and once at temp, they really don't use much on low fan. TV only uses 100w per hour, and that's usually off around midnight. Unless really high temps overnight ... ... 1800-0000 hrs uses ~4-500w / hr ... 0000-0800 hrs uses <300w / hr Higher use months (900+kWh) were ... ... April 2023, 989kWh ... May 2023, 1000+kWh ... April 2024, 1000+kWh March 2023 was about the same use, 764kWh. March 2024 was much less, 581kWh, but we were O&A for 12 days.

KhunLA replied to KhunLA's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
No ... wasn't my idea. I posted in different thread, and mod moved my post, to this new thread, not started by me. All those drives are unplugged, and not in use. Need to move files from 2 of them, to the new drive I just got, then the wife can sell 'em. Something for me to do tomorrow.

Nah, just move one folder into same folder, as already sorted by locations, camera body and or lens, along with year. Let windows sort the dupes, and simply delete. Will still have dupes, as destinations (province & cities) are usually the best of. Camera and lens are all of photos take with said camera body and lens. About 4 camera bodies and 7 lens. Along with phones & years. I just typed a long reply, and it disappeared, along with above post, now in a new thread. I think a mod moved my post, out of old thread. -
