  1. Here is something you might find on the high street that might fit your budget: https://www.aconatic.com/aconatic/cantegory/Speakers & Stereo/Multi Speaker/product_detail/72
  2. Anyone who has any kind of musical knowledge will understand this. Connect your instrument, hit a low note and see how the system responds. You can turn up the volume, increase the bass...it won't make a difference. It is missing and cannot be reproduced. The cheap and gimmicky systems simply turn up the equalizer to the maximum, in so that everything is exaggerated and unnatural....but still lacking depth. When you have a system that can reproduce the notes, you can keep the volume low and still appreciate the music.
  3. Forget about this "sound bar" nonsense and the cheap or gimmicky Bluetooth speakers that people have been pushing you to buy. I already posted a link to what you needed in your other thread and you just ignored it. If you don't want to listen to music with half of it missing, you are going to need something with a sub-woofer, preferable at least eight inches in diameter and with a suitable enclosure.. Small gimmicky speakers simply cannot reproduce the big waves necessary. So much warmth and subtlety will be missing.
  4. Okay @NickyLouie Post a link to the 4,000 baht iPhone killer. I asked you to not be silly, but it seems that you really want to do it. So back up your statement with a link to the price and specs. I'm guessing that you won't be able to come up with the goods. Are you using your parents Aseannow account again?
  5. There are two version of Samsung Galaxy A06; one with 5G capability and one without. @NickyLouie, don't be silly 😊
  6. It doesn't take much of an imagination to understand that Epstein, Brunel and Guiffre meeting untimely ends will have a chilling effect on anyone coming forward. If they can take out high profile players, what chance a relatively unknown ex-model? Ghislane Maxwell is on record stating that Epstein did not commit suicide. In the end it's just a strand in the whole tapestry. While we are looking over here, something else is happening over there. Ukraine, Middle East, Asia.... All most of us can do, is to sit back and watch how it all plays out. Russia stays out of certain things and perhaps get what they want in Ukraine. That sort of thing.
  7. Non Seafood ( นนท์ซีฟู้ด ) Behind Lan Pho Seafood Market Cheap as chips, but impressive for visitors. https://www.google.com/maps/place/นนท์ซีฟู้ด/@12.9743663,100.9038441,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x3102bf99f43beb45:0x1569fa769928afd!8m2!3d12.9743611!4d100.906419!16s%2Fg%2F11mnk38lvr?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDgwNi4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D Upstairs for aircon. You also have the option of grabbing something from the market to have them grill/steam for you. But probably cheaper to order from their menu.
  8. Why are you making yourself look not so intelligent in thread after thread? You obviously don't have the slightest clue of what we are discussing. Again, it's not an intelligent debate. Just feels like trying to discuss the household budget with a three year old. Their mind just doesn't have the experience to take an overview. Stand down man, you are embarrassing yourself. I guarantee your paid companion would be impressed if you could just pull up her favourite movie on your phone or TV in 4k in seconds, as if by magic. Instead she would have to stand by whilst you mess around on your laptop and then wait for it to download and then ....zzzzzzzzzzz Sort it out...move into the 21st century.
  9. You literally have no idea what you are going on about. The mind of a child. A bit of a stupid one. Your system is outdated and clunky.
  10. I also had a painful experience with them. The seller wanted to refund me in full without me sending the item back, but AliExpress wouldn't let them. In fact the seller processed the refund, but AliExpress wouldn't pass it on until the item was sent back. So the seller had to pay postage charges on top of my refund.
  11. Okay @Cameroni How about I send you a link to the file and you time the download? So, as I understand it, you go to the website, find the link, go through two re-directs and then begin to download to your HDD. Once it has downloaded to your HDD, you cast from your laptop to your Android Box/TV? Is this correct? As to my searches, it depends where I am. What I meant is that if I was out and about and I wanted to organise a movie night with a close friend, I can do that from wherever I am. So we can discuss what we want to watch whilst out doing something else. It will be ready on the TV without having to do anything else. Or if I'm on a bus with no entertainment, I can stream something on my phone or download if the Internet connection on the journey might be unreliable. I can do similarly with a Tablet and use that as my entertainment system on a flight(predownloaded of course). Do you take your TV out everywhere with you? Did you hit your head somewhere as a child? Streaming from someone running a hooky website from a server in their bedroom in India can result in interrupts, lags and the things you describe. It's not something that will happen with a fast torrent. You can stream 4k with a 3MB/s connection. If you cannot, then the problem is not with your connection if you tell us you can download 3.6 GB in 5 to 8 minutes. That would be a 60 Mbps to 100Mbps(7.5MB/s to 12.5MB/s) connection. That tells us that the system you use is sub optimal. You are bound to your laptop and TV. It seems that you are stuck in some time warp, wherein time has stood still for ten to fifteen years. No need to ask you where you have been. You haven't been anywhere. Stop acting as if you know something. You just make yourself look silly most of the time. For me this is just standard practice. To the point that I don't actually watch anything. I prefer to interact in real life. Your system is relatively primitive.
  12. It might be worth mentioning that the 'source', 'John Barron' who claimed that he worked for Trump, described the "around eighteen years old" girl as a masseuse and not a towel nor locker room girl. Just saying.. https://pagesix.com/2007/10/15/sex-case-victims-lining-up
  13. I guess someone abused from the age of eleven is going to have some 'issues'. People took advantage of that. I've met some of these 'supermodels'. But instead of taking advantage of them, I took care of them. Perhaps some men aren't like that...and that is why they support Trump in this. Birds of a feather. You can see it in the way they write about women. They think if they pay, that they own the woman. Eh, @Cameroni?
  14. The deflection here is the trying to move away from the kind of operation that John Barron.., sorry Mr Trump was running. It's all plainly in front of your eyes Modelling agencies, beauty pageants. If you knew any super models of the day, you might know of the very high fees they commanded. Trips to the Middle East. It was all modelling work... If you were in the Ibiza scene, you might have a clearer picture of what went on. A lot of 'businessmen' have shady pasts that they want to clean up. But it's out there for all to see, if you care to look. For me, it's just a conversation. No one takes the obvious deflections seriously.
  15. "In front of her..." Again, quite specific. I notice that @Cameroni made no reference to her working at Mar a Lago and being recruited from Mar a Lago. The perfect place for a drug taking under age teenage prostitute to work, eh? A history of close connections to modelling agencies and beauty pageants.....oh dear.
  16. She said that he didn't act inappropriately towards HER. Your lies and deflections are weak and obvious.
  17. Thank you for that little snippet @Cameroni Following on from that... "Virginia Giuffre's association with Ron Eppinger was a period of severe abuse and sex trafficking that occurred before her involvement with Jeffrey Epstein. Key facts about Ron Eppinger and his connection to Virginia Giuffre: Sex Trafficking: Eppinger was a convicted sex trafficker who ran a prostitution network in Miami, Florida, operating under the guise of a modeling agency called "Perfect 10". Recruitment and Exploitation: Virginia Giuffre, having run away from home at age 14, ended up under Eppinger's control, where she was drugged, sexually assaulted, and forced into prostitution. https://www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2025/04/25/virginia-giuffre-epstein-sex-andrew-dies FBI Raid and Arrest: Eppinger's operation was eventually raided by the FBI, leading to his arrest in 2000. Plea and Conviction: Eppinger pleaded guilty in 2001 to charges including involvement in trafficking for prostitution and the smuggling of immigrants for that purpose. Time with Eppinger: Giuffre resided with Eppinger for approximately six months during this period of exploitation. Following Eppinger's arrest, Giuffre was able to reunite with her father and began to rebuild her life, which included attending school and working at the Mar-a-Lago resort. It was during this time that she was approached by Ghislaine Maxwell, leading to her subsequent involvement in Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking network. Giuffre's experiences with both Eppinger and Epstein have been crucial in exposing the widespread nature of sex trafficking and the complicity of powerful individuals in these crimes. " So, according to your information, a known teenage prostitute found a job at Mar a Lago at fifteen to sixteen years of age. Whereupon in 2000, she was 'recruited' from Mar a Lago to provide sexual services by Ghislane Maxwell. Trump of course knew nothing of this...other than the documented reports of a "John Barron" calling into the media as a 'source', claiming that an 18 year old girl's father went 'ape 💩' Why would the 'source' lie about her age if all was above board? Futhermore, you see I have made reference to Eppinger's 'model agency''. For what was Mar a Lago Beach Club famous? Model agency girl parties...some on the young side. Jean Luc Brunel anyone? Does anyone remember the time when the 'waif and stray' model look was popular? The 'gamine' look? Think about it. It's a good thing that I'm "not the sharpest tool in the box"... So @Cameroni what do you think about this underage former prostitute working in a beach spa known for parties with young girls from modelling agencies? A good look for Mr Trump? What kind of operation was being run there, do you think? I have an opinion. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it might be a duck billed platypus....or it might just be a duck. I might have enjoyed sparring with you. But you aren't really putting up much of a defence. Just losing your cool and becoming abusive.
  18. Yes, people do get coerced...and drugged if they are to be believed: Several models who worked for Epstein associate Jean-Luc Brunel, who allegedly helped procure for him underage girls, tell of being taken to swank parties at Mar-a-Lago. Zoe Brock, a New Zealander who quit Brunel’s agency in Paris in 1991 after, she says, she was on the receiving end of his unwanted sexual advances at age 17, still has the wristband from when, while with another agency, she and other young girls and women were taken together on a bus from Miami to Mar-a-Lago in 1998. https://www.miamiherald.com/news/state/florida/article244689497.html
  19. Erm...there's a bit of a problem with the assertion made in The Telegraph and quoted by our illustrious member @Cameroni. The claim that she was 'on the game' a year before she met Ms Maxwell... Where was she working the year before she met Ms Maxwell? Clearly if Trump claimed that she was working for him as a 'locker room attendant' when Ms Maxwell poached her and she was sixteen at the time of the poaching, possibly even fifteen... Hmm... I see some issues. Did anyone know that she was 'on the game' at 15 whilst working at Mar a Lago?
  20. 😊 It made me giggle that you are so proud of such a clunky system 😊 So let's get this straight. You have a website that offers drop.download free links. You go there to search out what you want and then proceed to click on the download link. You have to go through at least two redirects before you can get to the free link and then when you do get to it, you are limited to 4 Mbps. The 3.6 GB test file that I used would take 2 hours to download to your 8 TB HDD. 😊 After which you claim to stream it to your TV. Not sure why you don't just play it from the HDD, but hey ho. So that is your very long winded and slow process and you try to convince us that it's the best. 😊 Now I'll describe the process I might follow if I wanted to watch a docu. No need for even a laptop. I can go to my phone, search out the Torrent/Magnet link, enter it into my Seedbox interface.....and that's it. Ready to view on any of my devices. Can begin streaming it on my phone or turn on the TV and click on a link to stream it from there. Can also choose to download it to my phone or PC if I wish, but actually no need to download it at all. So with your process it would take a minimum of two hours before you could view the material. In mine, usually less than one minute. All the same, I don't really bother to watch TV anyway. But if I want to, I can be watching the media of my choice in a minute. Literally Your method is primitive. You really should have not been so boastful. "sophisticated TV series site" 😊 They are many ways to do it. Not knocking anyone. But you shouldn't be espousing that you know it better than everyone else, when you really don't.
  21. For Dashcams, CCTV and the like, forget about speed and go for high endurance. https://shop.sandisk.com/products/memory-cards/microsd-cards/sandisk-high-endurance-uhs-i-microsd?null=&sku=SDSQQNR-032G-GN6IA https://www.lazada.co.th/products/pdp-i2823333032-s10295494164.html https://www.lazada.co.th/products/pdp-i2823332045.html https://www.lazada.co.th/products/pdp-i2823237653.html Use the cards you have for something else. You don't want them to fail when you really need them to work.
  22. Where did you buy it?
  23. I decided to test @Cameroni suggestion drop.download. You are redirected to dodgy websites two times before you can access the free download and then the download speed is restricted to 4 Mbps which is 0.5 MB/s. I tested a download from an official website and a Torrent. Both came down at 20 MB/s Forty times faster.
  24. But you were not on here claiming that it was the best way... It works, but there are better ways now.
