looking for advice regarding airline compensation
BenStark replied to BenStark's topic in General Topics
Flight was from Brussels -

That it doesn't load Windows 7 is not the main topic of this thread, it was just one other thing. I received the MB in the meantime, and it still doesn't see the M2 SSD inserted in the M2A slot The PC starts up with the GPU, but it get blue screen right before I get the Windows log in screen. When I use the internal graphics I get to the BIOS, and when start to boot screen goes black. It doesn't show no signal message This is what the system sees with a WD black inserted in the M2A slot and an Asus Geforce GT 1030 inserted in the PCIE X16 slot

looking for advice regarding airline compensation
BenStark replied to BenStark's topic in General Topics
And why would that be if the airline adds 13 hours to their stopover? If you had bothered to read the OP you would have known that I'm not the traveller, and I think my friends haven't been given a reason either for the delay. They have a travel itinerary that shows their flight to Bangkok would depart about 3 hours after arrival in Dubai, but when they arrived in Dubai it turned out to be 16 hours -
It works with the GPU removed, so not a CPU issue I only send them the MB and they said they sent it to Gigabyte Thailand. They gave me the phone number today, but the person I spoke to didn't seem to be well informed about what was happening. Components are from different companies. GPU is Asus purchased from Asus. RAM is Apacer 2 x 8GB DDR4 and CPU is i5-10400 Next, both from Advice MB is from JIB. Synnex said no repairs or replacement, only BIOS update. Tried both with similar result

Just had one glass Dunkel, and not bad IMO, could give Lao Dark a run for the money. Smooth taste with little bitter aftertaste like a stout. Don't have Lao dark in the house currently, since it is rarer than hens teeth, but saw some in Tesco'ssssssssssss when I bought the Dunkel so will get one to better compare, but this beer suits me. Let's try the second glass

I don't recall what BIOS version was installed, but 5 beeps sounds to me as a short in the slot. The VGA I installed is Geforce GT 1030, but the card works in another PC, and the card from that PC gives the same 5 beeps on the Gigabyte board. Sata SSDs I tried have Windows 7 ultimate, not Windows 11,

I purchased a 1 year old Gigabyte B560M DS3H V2 motherboard with still 24 month Synnex warranty left. All other components like CPU - VGA - RAM - SSD i purchased new. I set it up and on first boot got 5 beeps, and no signal on my screen, using either the VGA HDMI or the MB HDMI. Removed the VGA and I was able to get into the BIOS, but M2 SSD inserted in the M2P_CPU slot was not detected. The M2P slot is next to the Pcie slot Tried the VGA in another PC and it worked. Tried a different VGA in the Gigabyte MB and same 5 beeps and no signal. When I moved the SSD to the M2A slot it was detected, so clearly no issue with the SSD or VGA card. I sent the board to Synnex and after 2 weeks I got notified that Gigabyte updated the BIOS and it is now working. Haven't received the board yet, but does anyone think that an outdated BIOS can have been the reason for described issues? One other thing, I tried two different SSDs with an activated Windows 7 OS, and both drives would be correctly detected by the BIOS, but got the message no bootable device installed. I inserted the drives in the SATA3_0 slot. Any suggestions welcome

I have friends just arrived on Emirates economy flight. Their stopover in Dubai was supposed to be the usual ~3 hours according their ticket, but that turned into a 16 hour stopover. They didn't get offered a hotel or whatever, and neither any compensation. Luckily one of them had an American Express card which allowed him access to the lounge together with 2 friends. So what are their options?

Banking Association Confirms Security and Stability of Bank Apps
BenStark replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Facial recognition is only required beyond November 30 for any bank, but I can feel now already that I will need to close several accounts the next day. Kasikorn told me, not for farangs - nothing to sign. TTB same SCB let me sign a waiver, UOB failed to scan my passport, although NFC chip working, then also let me sign a waiver. Today I received a message from UOB that I need to register. That are most likely 4 accounts that will be closed in December -
Thailand’s AOC launched to tackle rising online scams
BenStark replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Amazing isn't it that this new Anti Online Scam Operation Centre has been announced in about every media in Thailand and the rest of Asia, yet not a single one of those has published a link to the agency or department. I'm sure they take it very serious, NOT -

Cheated by Savings-bank...
BenStark replied to BEngBKK's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
You don't need to be a rocket scientist or brain surgeon to realize the OP made a typing error in his OP, or why would he start a thread if everything was fine? Being a pedant who is known to scour the forum for arguments which he can start, of course helps in not understanding what really happened -
