Furioso

I'm looking to buy the Sony XM4 wireless headphones. - Banana sells them for 11,000 baht. - A Lazada seller(LazMall Audio & Gadget) sells them for 8,500 baht, currently 866 5 star ratings. That's a savings of 65 EUR I wonder if buying from LazMall is worth the risk?

899 baht? That's 50% higher! Outrageous!!!

I don't want you to think I'm a know it all, there's a lot of things I certainly don't know. I have decent experience as I worked in computer shops for 11 years. Let's just use a little logic here. You have an old PC, with a license you paid for. Now, many years later you want to upgrade to a new O/S. Yes, the shops know how to do this. They have the experience and the motivation. That Pattaya4U shop, and many others, are outstanding and cheap. Can we perform this upgrade? Nope, not really, it takes a lot of time, lot's of failures, high risk of losing everything, it's Microsoft which means it's a pain in the <deleted>. HUGE PAIN IN THE <deleted>. Also, if, for some reason your computer cannot be upgraded. The shop will tell you this, straight to your face. Conversely, if they tell you they can do it, they can and they will. It's great to be here in Thailand and get this outstanding customer service, for orders of magnitude cheaper than back in our home country.

I'm sorry to say the upgrade cannot be done. sure, you can try and try but it's not worth it, and most likely will result in you losing everything. If, for some reason you have to upgrade your old Win 7 to 10 or 11 then save everything and take it to a shop. It's cheap and they will get it done. There's no other way.

I'm starting to see the light. I had Facebook for about 10 years, never really enjoyed it and for some reason I felt like I HAD to have a Facebook account. You know, friends, family, business contacts, marketplace. Then, last year I found out my old boss from 35 years ago died. His son took over his account to tell everybody that he passed. The guy was like a father figure to me, when I was 22 and out of control I got into some serious trouble..he was the only one who told me the truth "you're going to lead a hard life, accept it now or it will be way worse". Such insight, it hurt because I knew he was right, the very first time I saw what other people saw. I respected him for that stinging observation. When he died I deleted my damn Facebook account, and no Twitter either.

I always loved laptops, and for a few years I worked on them. I noticed that after 2010 almost every laptop was designed to fail, usually within 6-12 months. My last laptop was great, but the MB blew in less than a month. Since I had moved to a new country I couldn't get any warranty support. Still, I went on a mission to get it fixed. Two shops opened it up, and said "no can do". I tried to buy a used or new MB, almost impossible to find, and way too expensive to ship to Thailand. Even though I had some weird love for laptops I realize it's a rigged game. Sure, you can buy a laptop and get years of use out of it but I think the laptop makers win most of the time.

It might be your account. Might want to try logging in with a different PC or Smartphone. If it still happens then email the administrator.

Have you tried more than one browser?

the old mortal kombat cheat code.

I buy coconut oil, usually at Big C, but it's stocked at many local stores, even most pharmacies. I buy the clear "100% Extra Virgin Coconut Oil" for around 300 baht per 500ml bottle. The brownish colored coconut oil is much cheaper, processed, and mostly used for cooking.

I use Surfshark, 30 USD a year for a 2 year subscription. I do use it a lot, mostly for banking, online shopping, and streaming sports. It's worked so good I will probably keep on renewing every 2 years. I also have an IPTV subscription. It doesn't work very well(lot's of channels don't work or freeze up). I'm not going to renew it when it expires in Oct. My neighbor has a much better version that I'll probably sign up for.

I wonder where they killed him? Obviously they set up an ambush, he walked in, somebody in another room or behind a door snuck up on him. Bashed him on the head with a heavy weapon. Man that's dirty. Then cut him up with a chainsaw? These people are the lowest of the low.

Chokchai Garden, not too far from where the Mercedes was found(CC Condo).

Smash or pass?

What we know so far: 1. Mack met a foreign broker at a dark side restaurant around noon on Tuesday, July 4th. Supposedly about a enormous real estate deal, 700 million baht. 2. Mack left shortly thereafter in his Mercedes, last known location(via CCTV)on Chaiyaphruek road towards Sukhumvit & Jomtien Beach. 3. Family reported Mack missing on July 5, offering 3 million baht reward if found alive(interesting). 4. Mack's Mercedes found at a dark side condo complex on Sunday, 9 July. Witness says it was parked by two young Thai females on Wednesday, 5 July. The females left the vehicle/area rather quickly. 5. The Mercedes was wiped clean, presumably to get rid of fingerprints/DNA etc. 6. Supposedly Mack's cell last pinged in Sa Kaeo, near Cambodian border. 7. Two male foreigners and one Thai lady brought in for questioning over a mysterious/connected 2 million baht transaction. They did not talk, immediately lawyered up.

The location of his mobile phone signal was last traced to Sa Kaeo province in Isaan.

Beware the dark side.

Yep.

My friend and I were pricing out all the components of an Intel i5 PC the other day: i5 CPU - 5000 baht Mainboard LGA 1200 - 3000 baht Case - 2000 baht Power Supply - 2000 baht DDR 4 16GB RAM - 2000 baht Standoffs - 200 baht Power cable - 100 CPU Fan - 500 Baht TOTAL - 14,800 Baht

No problem, it's like getting a brand new car when you upgrade the sound. GL!

might be a good idea to engage with the person first "you seem to be struggling are you ok?" If they signal they're not ok then "I'm going to try to help you ok?" Around here it's an older crowd, and a lot are unhealthy people that are probably dealing with problems like this daily. They seem like they're on the verge of death but they can somehow manage.

Yes, Reagan and Thatcher's actions probably accelerated this capitalism on steroids quite a bit. Over the last 50 years, Wage Theft is one of the biggest crimes in the western world. I don't think the average citizen noticed what was being done to them until maybe 15 years ago. Some people took to the streets but it never caught on. Just think about how many people have sold their soul for a buck/euro/pound. Pathetic.

The western world is still great, so many fantastic things done right for almost 100 years. But over time, all corporations in all western countries have become more and more evil, and have way too much money and power. In today's western world, it seems that about 10% have it real good, while the other 90% fight for table scraps. Both the people and the politicians are slaves to the corporations. And now it's time for the people, not the politicians, to rise up and crush their masters, before it's too late.

That dissected body displayed in the movie Quantum of Solace was that of a murdered Chinese dissident. Think about that!

I have bookmarked dozens of YT channels. Here's just a few of them that I enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/c/serpentza/videos https://www.youtube.com/c/laowhy86/videos These two guys befriended each other in China, when it was fun lol. Now they're out of China but give regular updates on the inner workings of the worlds most populated country. https://www.youtube.com/@ExploreWithUs/videos https://www.youtube.com/@CoffeehouseCrime/videos Long form true crime drama, not for the faint of heart. EWU usually dives deep into interrogation videos. Coffeehouse reports on strange or unsolved crime cases with a lot of empathy for the victims, without being overly dramatic.
