  1. https://www.newsnationnow.com/cuomo-show/trump-jeffrey-epstein-investigation So he's saying Clinton didn't do anything wrong and for Trump, nothing incriminating...
  2. Regardless of the operating system, you can set it up that that someone in Australia, for instance, can set up Torrents to upload to the cloud without them even touching his PC/device. You can then stream or download them wherever you are in the world on any device with an Internet connection. Him downloading them, transferring them to a drive and sending it, is a bit primitive 😊
  3. That a very poor Android box. But you can still just leave the USB drive in the box if you need extra storage and download directly to it. I don't think that I've ever seen storage that small. Mine is with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, which you can expand with an SD card. Cost 1000 baht. In addition to that, unless you are building up a collection, you can stream the media directly from the box. I can set up a torrent on my phone and play it on the phone or via the Android box. No need for a USB drive at all.
  4. Advanced users who want to stay on Windows 10 might do an in-place upgrade to Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021. Supported until 2032.
  5. Copying videos to USB flash drive is so 20th century 😊 Especially if you have an Android box. It's relatively simple these days to set up a system where you can set up a download on one device and to stream or download it on any other. Linux or Windows, makes no difference. It's only if there is poor or no Internet that you need to start messing around with plugging and unplugging storage drives. Android boxes have their own storage, you can stream and or download directly from them.
  6. Localphone displayed balance is a 'live figure' for all intents and purposes. Might take a minute to update.
  7. https://www.true.th/en/trueonline/package-types/true-gigatex-pro-special-ssv/ Online or by phone.
  8. Keyboard warriors out in force today. It seems my words fell on deaf ears...
  9. Okay....let's deal with the elephant in the room. If a certain poster KNOWS that arguing with everyone, insisting that he is right, posting every few seconds but accusing others of skimming and assuming and insisting that they are right in every situation is OBNOXIOUS behaviour....then why don't they modify that behaviour, instead of complaining that 5 to 8 people he claims to have won arguments against somehow have it in for him. Why not simply stop arguing with everyone, accusing other of being stupid, less fit, less knowledgeable etc Then one wouldn't have those 5 to 8 'detractors'. Modify your OWN behaviour or accept that many people are going to find it intolerable and obnoxious. No one is going to change their opinion about him, unless he does something to change it. He is simply reinforcing it. That number of 5 to 8 may only grow as more people see the evidence. Take note. Stop being so arrogant and obnoxious. Being stuck in the middle of arse, in the middle of a situation with your ex not enough to tell you that you are doing something wrong?
  10. I am just recapping what has been written by the man himself. Giving money to parents. Yes or no? Middle aged? Yes or no? Middle of arse? Yes or no? It seems he will even argue with his own statements.
  11. This is painful to read. Quite sad really. But it explains why someone has ended up in the 'middle of arse', far away from his peers. Paying money to the family of a middle aged woman with whom he has no kids. Bad decisions again and again.
  12. Last look... What you're missing , is that's is always the same ones who are calling me out. An assumption as to my actions. Perhaps they are 'calling him out' for a different reason than he imagines. You don't know the history unless you read it. Take awhile and go over all of my recent posts. There is the assumption that I had not already done so, prior to commenting in the first place. I saw often that it was just his assertion/assumption that he was correct. But looking at both sides of the discussion, I saw no evidence of that. Insisting that one is right in the face of evidence to the contrary, is certainly not my definition of a realist. No different from this thread. You'll see who the detractors are and what their replies are. if you look back further, you'll see an argument I had with them where I proved them wrong on something, and then you'll see the follow ups. People have different perspectives. One should respect that instead of deflection and dismissal. That is disrespectful behaviour. One can say they have a different opinion and leave it at that. But trying to insist that one is always right is not only impossible, but incredibly obnoxious behaviour. In the eyes of some, narcissistic even. ...you'll see the same things happening. If the same thing is happening time and time again, perhaps look at the common denominator. What will it take for him to zip it and to LISTEN?
  13. I haven't ever given a negative emoji to ANYONE, so that doesn't tally with his imagined perception. He just cannot accept anyone's opinion other than his own highly inflated one of himself. With each and every post there is a nasty dig at someone. This is someone who professes to understand, that if you want to experience love, you have to be love. So how does that explain his actual behaviour of underhand digs and argumentative behaviour? That's what he gets, but doesn't seem to understand why no one seems to like him.
  14. No man is an island. If you stand within an anechoic chamber, you would not be able to do so for long without going mad. People are telling @fredwiggy what they perceive from his posts, but he refuses to believe them. Instead he prefers what he sees in his own reflection. I'll leave this discussion as it's best he takes time to absorb what is being written, rather than his trying to deflect everything. Other than to state that I am very happy and grateful for life in Thailand. Nothing is perfect, but it's up to me to make the best of it.
  15. Let's take a look.... If you bothered to read all of a post instead of nit-picking or skimming, Assumption I've always explained my situation with all honesty and what happened, but some will refuse to believe the truth because they are the ones who assume. It's not the truth, it's a perspective. An OPINION. Again, if you read all of a topic instead of coming in at the end or near the end, you would possibly understand why everything is said. Assumption It's only 'nit-picking' and 'skimming' when someone other than he is doing it. Blind to his own faults. Prefers to attack the messenger. To conclude, if one is surrounded by their peers, they will quickly understand what behaviour is acceptable to other humans. One can only assume that this person has no real friends in close proximity. All that deep reading and research leaves little time for interactions with their peers, other than on AseanNow where they don't get on with anyone at all. Just an observation.
  16. Just taking his latest reply... Many won't bother to read links and are only here to again, troll. Assumption it's the same 5-7 here that are the ones who not only dispute evidence, but come back and put a thumbs down on all of your posts. Assumption I say I have a girlfriend I help, and some will say , "all men pay for the women here", because that's all they do. Looks like he is paying for his girlfriend. What's the problem? Oh...he is just 'helping' as he is 'different' from those who pay. I make a claim about treating women right... That's just his claim and his opinion. History tells us they aren't too enamoured with him. How do you dispute anything if you haven't any data on it? Indeed. That's why he cannot discuss the content within the links that he posts, as he doesn't have any depth of knowledge or data beyond the headline. That's just one post.
  17. Sometimes...a girlfriend may be a bit anxious. Snappy even. But when asked, assures that she is calm. Because she feels that she is masking her anxiety enough to appear calm on the outside. But to the people observing, she is obviously not. When anxious, she is convinced that what she is thinking and doing is right, that there is no other possibility. This, for me, sums up a certain character's posts here. Tone deaf. Just doesn't get it. Doesn't EVER stop to think that he might not be right in every situation, but instead ready to post a reply in seconds. Everyone else is wrong, because he studied this and that. Nutrition, psychology, misogyny...you name it and he is an expert or he will find a link, even if it doesn't support his POV at all, he will insist that it does. He is the fittest, strongest and most knowledgeable. His are the facts, whilst everyone else has mere opinions and assumptions. Every statement is a definitive one. Not, "childhood was the best time for me, as now life is more difficult", but instead we have, "It is impossible to have the same feeling about life now than when you were young, as it was much easier, unless you had a terrible childhood" But yet he believes "I just tell things as they are." No, he tells things as they appear to him, but assumes that it applies to everyone. Assume being one of his favourite words. It's something he does often, but doesn't seem to understand that he is doing it, but can only 'see' when he assumes that others are doing it. Ironic when he tells that people should not speak for others. Then goes on to use the royal We when it suits him. In his mind he is not ever wrong and will argue nonsensically to the end. Yet, it was his partner who was a narcissist....because in his mind she fit the definition. But is blind to how he is seen by others. Does not understand that the behaviour that WE see here, constitutes narcissism. Looking in the mirror and seeing this wonderful person who isn't ever wrong, smarter and knows more than everyone else.....you get the picture. There is so much more, but why bother? They will ignore the evidence and try to deflect by attacking the messenger. Just a perspective. Maybe others see the same. From the replies that he is getting, it seems that I'm not the only one who has noticed it.
  18. I think the problem is not that it's Windows Home, but Windows Home Single Language. But you should still be able to add a Chinese keyboard. You just won't be able to change the Display language, without a bit of jiggery-pokery. Take a look here for the jiggery-pokery and follow the instructions How To Install Windows 11 Language Pack Manually Offline *.Cab File installation: https://appsforwin10.com/windows-11-language-pack-download/ Otherwise, the worst case scenario involves simply upgrading your current licence to Core Home or Pro for a few baht. No need for a new device.
  19. Of course it matters to you or you would not have replied to me. How would you be able to detect intelligence? Would it not take someone intelligent to be able to confirm it? So of course it doesn't matter to you, as intelligence is not a prioritised criteria to you....is it? 😊 Otherwise you would not travel to SE Asia.....according to your 'good' self.
  20. So post your published version of the events that took place. I guess you prefer your entirely fabricated version, backed up with nothing but hot air.
  21. You need to stop parroting that 💩 and wake up! How can you be so obtuse? That's your man Trump saying so.
  22. You'll be lucky to get another 18 years out of your current 'model'. I think you'll find @BritManToo somewhat more pragmatic than yourself, even though you are both taken to using some artistic licence. You'll learn....eventually. He's has no problems admitting that he paid for what he wanted. You are still fantasising, trying to convince us that you are the hot property.
  23. Denial of what? I have intelligent and successful friends and acquaintances here. Perhaps the people with whom you mix lack some important qualities. If you insult my friends, expect some pushback. If you are only meeting unintelligent people, then remember the saying "birds of a feather, flock together". No need for you to deny.
