  1. I see this different. If someone burns down my house, I will burn down his house and that of all his relatives, as it will cost him a lot of money, money that he can't spend on burning my families houses, and may actually make him considering changing his mind. Also when those oil storages just over the border exploded, Ukraine was accused of it. Why accusations, as this is an ongoing war? I think there must be more to this.
  2. Most of the time when I take a flight to Europe, I will arrive with a cold. Obviously their masks didn't save them from getting infected test positive on arrival. Did they suffer severe symptoms because of their covid positive test results?
  3. I have stopped following the developments in this war about a month ago, but can someone explain this to me. Russia is destroying Ukraine completely, but if Ukraine targets something over the border with Russia, that is declared illegal. At least that is what Russia claims. I'm confident that Ukraine owns weaponry that can destroy targets far inside Russia, maybe even as far as Moscow. So why doesn't this happen, since this is a war between 2 countries?
  4. Hmm, things seem to get better the more time I spend on Lazada, or do I misunderstand something? If I order this thingy, I don't need a power supply, as I can feed the cameras directly from the UPS, and it should last at least an hour with my setup. Is that correct? https://www.lazada.co.th/products/dc-ups-zircon-zmn-45-cctv-wifi-router-i-8-i1470910579.html? Edit: I should have read further before posting, as it seems to output only 2A, so i wonder how they can talk about 4 cameras and a dvr in the spec, as that would exceed 2A power usage by far.
  5. Sorry to bother you again. Am I correct, that this the part I need to add UPS function to the power supply linked in the OP? https://www.lazada.co.th/products/b0017-automatic-switching-module-dc-5v-48v-10a-power-failure-automatic-ups-cut-off-5v-48v-i2471707408.html? So if I add this, will it switch to battery when power failure, and will it charge the Lifepo4 battery that you provided a link for? I see 10A mentioned in the listing. Does that mean my power supply can be maximum 10A output?
  6. What is it that you don't believe, that it has lost almost 70% of its market cap in the last 8 months? https://www.statista.com/statistics/730876/cryptocurrency-maket-value/

  8. So you must live in the lobby then, or at least walk through it yourself hundreds of times each day
  9. Thanks. I looked up the unit again, and now notice that it's 5A only, so will have to do with the one with battery included, till the battery fails. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/dc-12v5a-ac-110-240v-ups-i3107591828-s11503209879.html? Can I install a BMS on a lead acid battery, to prevent it being deep discharged, or is that likely already built-in with the unit?
  10. Yes, I am aware of that, but with the power lately going off here almost weekly for a few hours, I don't think that, unless one want to spend big bucks, there is a UPS which can handle that. With a PC you can switch it off when power goes off, with cameras that will not be possible. And that is also why I would fancy to have a Lifepo4 battery, as they can be depleted 100% without being damaged. I have now found the same power supply with built-in UPS, but without the battery included. So could you please point me to a suitable Lifepo4 pack, and explain what modification my TV repair man has to do, to make it compatible with such battery pack?
  11. Crypto Lender Vauld Freezes Withdrawals, Eyes Restructuring Vauld’s move came less than three weeks after the company said it was processing withdrawals “as usual and this will continue to be the case in the future.” https://finance.yahoo.com/news/crypto-lender-vauld-freezes-withdrawals-073630887.html Take note this is a lender backed by Coinbase and Peter Thiel, the latter a billionaire and one of the biggest proponents of crypto. Peter Thiel didn't become a billionaire because of crypto, he only started pushing it because he has the money, and probably wanted to double it on the back of the gullible. Anyone noticed the strange fact that most of the people who launched a 'coin' were billionaires already?
  12. Although I'm not a bona fide American, maybe I should not comment? Happy fourth of July. https://abcnews.go.com/US/shooting-reported-4th-july-parade-chicago-suburb-highland/story?id=86186529
  13. When was the last time Thai government announced figures, about anything, that were believable? I visit Big C almost daily, and always around the same time, so when I see that in the last week of the month the number of customers is an estimated 20% of that at the beginning of the month, then I know people are struggling. Foreigners often buy full trolleys, so they shop maybe once every fortnight, but the majority of customers are Thai, and I don't see them buy more than a day's supply.
  14. Now you either offer me an apology, or elaborate on that with facts, or I will report you to these mods.
  15. More winners. Where have I heard the name Solana often been floating lately as being credible? https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2022/07/04/solana-defi-protocol-crema-loses-88m-in-exploit/ Solana-based liquidity protocol Crema Finance had more than $8.78 million worth of cryptocurrencies stolen from its platform in an attack over the weekend, developers said in a tweet. Value locked on Crema plunged to $3 million on Monday from over $12 million on Saturday following the exploit, data shows. Crema has seen trading volumes of $1.34 billion since its inception in January.
  16. Erdogan is a real PITA. Recall the story of his EU membership? They don't even want him any more, but somehow he manages to still receive large subsidies. He is supporting Russia in their war against Ukraine. There are many more stories I could mention, that prove the world would be better off without Erdogan.
  17. In case you misunderstood my comment, the xenophobia claim was directed at the Thai banks, not at you.
  18. You made me suspicious with your comment, so I checked my Krungsri account, and indeed June withholding tax was deducted for the first time this year, and I haven't reached the 20K interest limit either. Xenophobia setting in again?
  19. I can't read Thai, but thought that meant 3 cell. Edit: it means 3A discharge current, which would not be enough anyway, as I need about 8A. Would the power supply with built-in battery suffice for my needs, let's say 30 minutes to an hour? @Crossy Any update yet, as I really need to order the power supply for installing end of this week. If you think this one will be sufficient for my needs, I will order it, otherwise I order the one in the OP and the UPS. Unless you have a better idea. Thanks https://www.lazada.co.th//products/i651456770-s1258460586.html?
  20. There are only winners in crypto, according to someone here https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-07-02/microstrategy-s-bitcoin-holdings-take-a-record-3-4-billion-hit?srnd=cryptocurrencies-v2 MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin Holdings Take a Record $3.4 Billion Hit And they are getting desperate. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/british-army-twitter-youtube-accounts-194641088.html British Army Twitter, YouTube Accounts Hacked With Crypto Posts A series of posts promoting non-fungible tokens were retweeted on the Army’s account on Sunday. Its YouTube account has been renamed “Ark Invest” and features several videos from a panel hosted by Ark Investment Management LLC last year on Bitcoin. Tesla CEO Elon Musk, investor Cathie Wood and Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey were speakers on the panel. The Army spokesperson said in an emailed statement that an investigation into the breach is underway. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-07-03/argentines-seek-hedging-in-crypto-after-economy-minister-resigns?srnd=cryptocurrencies-v2 Argentines Seek Hedging in Crypto After Economy Minister Resigns https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2022-07-01/the-big-mess-of-crypto-lawsuits-video
  21. Individual banks or staff. I had SCB add mine last year or the one before and now interest is added but no tax taken - just checked June statement and that is what happened. I spend about 3 hours in the SCB branch in January, staff - manager and head office over the phone involved. At the end I had signed a load of documents, and be assured that now the WHT tax would not be deducted anymore. On 25 June the interest for the first 6 months was added to my account, and WHT deducted. So I went to the revenue department and explained my issue. They told me that SCB should not deduct the tax, and the manager gave his phone number so they could contact him. I then went back to the SCB branch, where I spent another 3 hours, and they called the revenue department, and head office was again involved over the phone. At the end they told me that it should be OK, but they needed to locate the documents I signed in January, and would call me the next day. Next day head office called me in a conference call with the branch, and again the same drivel started. You have money in other banks, so we need to deduct blah blah blah
