Where to donate old Windows 10 gaming PC?
Any good options for donating a desktop PC? It has Windows 10 installed, which is end of support, Office 2019. I built it myself and it has had some upgrades over time. I was thinking of a charitable school or orphanage.

Steam, steam deck, games and your pc
That CPU looks pretty good and 70 FPS on a 2021 game is excellent. I put a Ryzen 5600X in my gaming PC a couple of years ago but the VGA card is still a GTX1060 and I already had a RTX3070 laptop and now I have a RTX5070 laptop. I would like to upgrade the VGA card to a Radeon RX 9070XT but they are a bit cost prohibitive at the moment and the laptop will let me play my favourite games at 1440p although only at 60Hz.

Steam, steam deck, games and your pc
Practice makes you better. I've been playing games since the 80s now I own two sim racing rigs, driving rally cars is my passion. Blazing Chrome and Huntdown are two good retro run n gun games.

built-in oven in old condo
I bought my condo in Chiang Mai many years ago and had all the internal wiring replaced and chased into the walls. I had a new consumer unit fitted above the door. I didn't check, which is unlike me, what size/rating of cable was installed. I am assuming a higher rated cable for the electric shower. I did have a "4 foot" copper rod placed in the ground outside, I am on the 2nd floor (Thai), so it's not far to get to the ground outside. I've seen recently two new cable trunks from recently renovated condos going along the corridor ceiling to the electrical cupboard by the stairs where the main breakers and meters are. I have been running 2 induction stoves, sometimes whilst boiling a kettle but I know if I were to use my toaster oven the breaker would trip in the cupboard but not my consumer unit. It happened a couple of times in the past so I know now not to have 4 appliances on simultaneously. If I buy an oven rated at either 2300W or 3250W, the two I am looking at, I assume it will need to have a new dedicated circuit installed. It will have to be surface mounted. Is there a standard supply rating for condos? From what I can tell this condo was built around 1970 when people had a lot fewer electrical appliances. Do I need to contact PEA first? Am I likely to need a new circuit from the meter?

Kawasaki Z250SL headlight crazing
My bike was stored like this whilst I was away and now I have started parking it inside the condo against a wall or with the headlamp away from the sun during the day. I just bought this so I will see how it works.

DNS over HTTPS
Is anyone using this? I am on a regular 3BB/AIS fibre connection. 1Gbps/500Mbps package but I notice sometimes there is delay in opening websites. I am not sure if this is since I turned on secure DNS. I set Cloudfare's DNS servers in my router. I only have Firefox using it so I will start to test between all 3 browser, FF,Edge and Chrome. I mainly use testmy.net for speed testing as you can set it to auto run and they have a reaonable selection of servers.

Lyle's Golden Syrup
What are people using here instead? I baked some flapjacks (UK) yesterday using something like golden syrup I bought from Makro. As syrupo was originally a waste product of sugar refining I assume Thailand must have lots of it considering Thailand is the 2nd biggest sugar producer after Brazil these days.

Kawasaki Z250SL headlight crazing
I was away for 10 months and the bike was stored under a roof and with a cover on. Since I have been back it usually is outside the condo but I could keep it inside under the carpark roof. Maybe I will try something like this: UV Coating Car Headlight Restoration Fluid

Kawasaki Z250SL headlight crazing
It has started again. Any suggestions for a way to protect it other than only parking it out of the sun?

Monomax Full Replay audio Thai only
The silver lining for me with Monomax is that I can start a full match replay without seeing the score. Many sports streaming sites have the score on the thumbnail but a few, these include SonyLiv and JioHotstar which I have for CL and PL in India. And It is a chance for me to improve my Thai. ;-)

Can DTAC SIM connect to True cell towers?
Well I just put the oven on, preparing to bake some humbe pie. I went to the same desk in the True/DTAC shop in Central Airport Chiang Mai. I spoke to the same person I did when I'd just returned to Thailand. She took my Poco phone which had the DTAC SIM in it. Did something on her computer and said there you go 5G. I switched the SIM back to my OnePlus phone and also got 5G on the 2600 MHz band. This is the info from the Netmonster app on the OnePlus Nord CE3.
