Oh just reread the question. The difference between leaving the laptop on with the radio app playing and leaving it on without the radio app off is likely so miniscule it would be difficult to even measure. Don't worry about it mate.

Depends on which chromebook model and how much actual work it's doing in the background, but you're looking a pretty much worst case scenario of 900 baht a year if it's a less efficient model and you're really riding it hard. Newer more efficient models or lower work loads maybe 150 baht a year. Easiest way to find out for sure is to get something like a kill-a-watt meter, run your laptop off it for awhile to establish a rough average power draw and then do the math.

10 mbps is not enough for 4k...there are a lot of different "4k"s out there in terms of signal compression and how much bandwidth you'd need for a smooth experience but most streaming services would recommend at least 15 mbps, closer to 25 mbps to be playable with some. For higher quality 4k you could reach ~80 mbps average bitrates and ~200 mbps peaks. OP you're on a mobile network so there are a lot of different factors. If you're high up in a building, far away from the cell tower, there are obstructions between you and the tower, or this tower is congested...all can affect your quality. If you're then converting that mobile signal to wifi there are other issues too. Sometimes simply increasing the bandwidth package you're subscribed to can fix the problem but sometimes not depending on the issue. You can do speedtests with local devices to determine some of that or I think if you just contact AIS support you could buy a one day "boost" or maybe even get it for free if you explain the situation and test it to see if it's suitable.

Yeah, not sure why bending it back wouldn't be recommended. It's thin aluminum that's pretty easy to work no? If you're willing to remove the shell to replace it anyway you might as well gently use a couple pliers to form the old one back to shape. There will probably be a small bit of cosmetic damage but as long as the hinge is alright and it stops dust reasonably well it's not a big issue.

For casual video editing (Not full VFX) lower-end macs are actually quite price competitive since the m1. They were definitely the best price/performance for some work flows for a bit there because of their good optimization with video editing suites and gpu's costing a fortune. Everything is more fluid now with gpu prices finally coming down and new cpu/gpu releases coming soon. Another Apple advantage that will last longer is their ARM processors just being more power-efficient, so their battery-life is longer. That might make a difference if you're away from the charger for whatever reason (ie. photography/filming in remote locations).

When you use most vpn programs you bypass your isp's dns automatically along with most of their other filtering methods. They just see an encrypted connection come from your ip and go to the vpn server's ip, your vpn provider then handles everything else. The fact that your vpn fixes the problem suggests that the problem takes place somewhere after the vpn is in the mix (i.e. your network or further down the line with your ISP). The first step as I said before should be bypassing your isp's dns in favor of something like google's. Here is a guide. If that fixes things then you would know it's a problem with your isp's dns.

Tell us more about your network. Is it a home network? Do you own it? Is there a captive portal to log in? Which ISP do you use? That sort of thing. Another client-side troubleshooting step, you can try manually setting your dns to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and see if bypassing the ISP's dns solves the problem. If you're using a separate antivirus program make sure to turn any "scan ssl" type settings off and test if that fixes the problem.

It could be related to a blocked website actually. If their ISP is dns hijacking to block a website the browser certificate authority will report it as untrustworthy/insecure. Similarly if an authentication server is down, a certificate expires, or they just use http instead of https this could lead to website issues like this. Of course it could be a client-side issue as well like incorrect date/time, antivirus complications, etc. They haven't really given us enough info to fully troubleshoot but based on it affecting a lot of sites and being alleviated by a VPN connection - if they haven't recently had any changes (new programs, new network, etc) I'd wait a day and see if it's just an ISP hiccup.

Why are you using it in the first place? Do you really need to manually clear all your cookies/cache after each session? And is there any reason you wish to use ccleaner over in-browser options? Literally you can just hit ctrl-shift-delete in the browser and clear things that way. As for why ccleaner is actually failing, if you have a synced account for your browser it could just be replacing data that it's backed up. Or some browser settings like "continue where I left off" or "continue running background apps while closed" can cause cookie issues like this. Or ccleaner might just not have the right permissions or know where the correct directories to delete are. I wouldn't recommend ccleaner anyway because it's not really going to do anything great for your computer performance-wise and some of the options like registry cleaning are more likely to introduce problems than help anything. The few useful features like uninstalling bloat can be better handled by other less invasive software and given the boot once they've finished.

It really would be recommended just to fresh install apps/programs especially because you're switching both hardware and OS version. There are ways to technically do what you're asking but it's really asking for complications if you don't know what you're doing. The other shortcuts/files/etc on your desktop should transfer over just fine but the shortcuts will only work correctly if their target destination is exactly the same. So if you've changed usernames or something you might have to update the links on the shortcut.

It's good if you're into rts, but if you haven't played Age of Empires 2 it's cheaper and many like it better. They are both on Game Pass too if you have it.

Hahaha that's where this is from? The steam deck is a very tightly integrated system where thermals of one m.2 ssd compared to another m.2 ssd might actually matter a bit, but still probably not that much tbh. It's something to monitor after you make the switch just to make sure you're not shortening your system's lifespan. An old laptop 2.5" hdd by contrast takes more power and emits more heat than any comparable 2.5" ssd so the switch should improve thermals if anything. Of course ssd's can still overheat. If you switch from one m.2 to another with more power draw in a laptop it could cause issues if there isn't tolerance for it. In a desktop even if you're switching an unrelated component like gpu/cpu/fans can change the thermal profile of everything and might mean you have to address cooling to lower the ssd temp.

Am I taking crazy pills? SSD's use less power and have no moving parts (friction) - they generate less heat than comparable hdds. With the more compact m.2 form factor you might get hotspots because the chips are packed tighter, but it's still less total heat energy that you have to remove from the system. The ssd itself is a lot more tolerant of higher temps than an hdd and temps up to 70c are mostly fine. Past that point you'd look at airflow/heat-sinks to bring things down. When you replace an older laptop's hdd it's 2.5" so the 2.5" ssd replacement should be cooler (chips more spread out and more room to dissipate heat). In contrast your cpu/gpu/memory might heat up more just because they aren't idling waiting for data from the hdd anymore - but your computer is still performing faster now the bottleneck isn't your hdd which is a good thing.

lol yes, that's exactly how you get into one of these situations. Trusting one random internet stranger to send you software through email...what could go wrong?

Were your laptops over 40k baht? It might not be the shipping company so much as the amount you spent. To my understanding Thai law requires import declaration form regardless of whether VAT/duties have been paid after 40k and I'm not sure if any of the normal shipping companies will act as a clearing agent for this issue or if they'll do it for free. If they don't you'll pretty much have to show up at the customs house or hire an agent.

Some organizations require fax is the reason. Some just because they are resistant to change, others because of a few advantages it has - mainly regulatory or legal reasons and the established case law around fax technology.

https://xkcd.com/806/ Honestly great question and good luck. From my experience Thailand ISP tech support doesn't seem to escalate a home user ticket at all until they've physically sent someone to your house. They'll come cycle your router and check the lines first even if you can spell out the problem for them.

Just a note, if you don't have xbox live gold yet you can buy up to 3 years of it ($5/mo) and then upgrade to game pass ultimate (normally $15/mo) for $1 and it will be applied to the whole 3 years just for that $1. There are plenty of guides about it online but it'll save you money if you intend to use game pass. As for which console to pick, Series S is a better deal even at msrp unless you're frame chasing and trying to play highest settings. If you're casual gamer and okay with 1080p or 4K FSR you should be golden with an S.

I don't think it's much of a security risk because people aren't really trying to get access into your (presumably) encrypted and password protected device just to learn your wifi password. Even unprotected ethernet ports and wps setup are considered mostly fine for home use. If there isn't a special reason anyone wants to target you it's not something to be concerned about. And as you just showed at the start of this post if the user has admin privileges (which you presumably do over your own personal device) it's pretty trivial to retrieve a wifi password. For smaller commercial networks where you just don't want some idiot employee clicking "show characters" and then connecting personal devices or something it might make more sense along with tweaking a ton of other security settings.

Your "no devices connected" requirement leaves you with either smart tvs or all-in-one pcs, but with your screen size requirements and prices you're probably just looking for smart tvs. The one you picked looks mostly fine but I might look for a more recent androidtv version, 8.0 will still work but it's already unsupported. Androidtv 12 is current and 13 will be released this year. Now built-in smart tv devices are normally pretty bad, but they'll handle normal streaming apps okay like netflix/youtube/disney+/etc. You don't even need a keyboard and mouse for those really. Web browsing on androidtv isn't great though, especially on a low quality device. And if you're thinking of doing actual desktop computer work that's even worse. These built-in devices do have internal storage but it's usually really small so don't expect to store a library of movie files on the device or anything. The one you linked above only has 8GB. If the "act as a computer" part of your question is at all serious you'd probably have to hook up something external for good results. Little nucs or mini-computers can be mounted behind the screen or otherwise out of sight and give you a full desktop experience.

If I'm reading this right, you have all the files intact on the external drive but are just struggling with the copy/paste (presumably on windows)? If you want to use the normal copy/paste style it might be better to take the data in smaller chunks because it might be overwhelming your memory. Another option is to open two file explorers, right click drag and drop the folder or contents from the source to the destination and click "copy here". Should work a little better. The best built-in way for windows if you want to copy large amount of data all at once is robocopy. It's command line interface but you can download GUI's for it if you need too. Pull up a command prompt (windows key + x) and the syntax is just: This will copy all the contents from the laptopBackup folder into the yourFolder folder. The /v is just a verbose mode so you can see if there are any errors or hangups. If you have a space in a folder name put the whole path quotes ie: "e:\laptop Backup But This Folder Has Spaces"

You are not using machines as old as 2003 with modern Mac OS versions is the point. These 20-year-old systems are still supported at a modern OS level today by linux and windows, Catalina support stops at 2012 macbooks. If you want to use older OS versions on windows or linux to run older programs that obviously works too. The idea that they are supported past their effective life is based on the fact that a 2003 pentium 4 is so old and low powered you shouldn't want to do anything modern with it - yet you still could. You can boot different OS drives on non-mac hardware too, that's not mac specific. Both linux and windows aren't locked into upgrading. And for that last point, vm's if that's what you're talking about are very accessible on both windows and linux as well. This was all based on you switching the conversation towards phones, where a locked bootloader pretty much dooms the phone to premature obsolescence when the manufacturer stops support. Our original conversation was about laptops and home computers where that's not an issue because windows and especially linux support hardware for longer than it's really needed. Yes, and amazon/google have really nice integration and setup for the most part too. Scanning a QR code is a pretty common setup for most devices with them too. But they also play more friendly with a variety of manufacturers and give you more choices, and let even apple devices in on the party to control them much easier than vice versa. If you're already in the apple ecosystem and you like it, that's great for you. But if someone is thinking about buying their first apple product it might be a reason to reconsider, because it's a drawback. Personally I don't think I'd recommend someone get into apple products for homekit because I think the competition is better overall but if you already have an iphone, appletv, applewatch, and some homekit devices obviously a macbook makes more sense than a non-mac - unless you want to do something completely outside its wheelhouse like gaming. ????

I've played my fair share of roms with unofficial translations, I'm sure it's out there somewhere. Just it's probably best not to make a joke that references something this obscure because everyone will think you're the one making mistakes. Now I'm off to play some Zeliard.

I mean some linux distros may support all the way back to the 80's but most cut off at PAE processors so back to ~2003 on really lightweight distros if you want current software. Windows is nearly the same 2003-2005 because it stopped supporting 32bit processors during windows10. They're all past the effective lifetime because the hardware limitations are so severe it's just a really niche use case if you want to do anything close to modern with them. Like I said the integration is nice but you're also much more locked in. Amazon and Google being the two main competitors also have a lot of integration but are more open than apple and support a much wider variety of products. None of them are extremely complicated to set up or to use. Apple products tend to more difficult to work with in a mixed device household than the others. There are workarounds both ways but if you're already invested in the apple ecosystem it could be really daunting to switch which I think is the biggest drawback. Home assistant is probably the tinkerer's choice if you want to get more gritty with it: it's open source, supports pretty much everything possible, you can host it yourself, and it gives you a ton of options and control. That's the one that would be considered getting your hands dirty with setup.
