  1. It's not the "open source". Banks are developing their apps just for one, the original OS and not for any other alternative OS.
  2. EU pressures the phone manufacturers for longer update periods. The models are published by the EU https://eprel.ec.europa.eu/screen/product/smartphonestablets20231669 But as with other stuff in Thailand and elsewhere there are cheaper phones available with shorter update periods. You get what you pay for.
  3. Are you sure or could it be that people would come anyhow just to escape persecution
  4. You can install WSL, Windows Subsystem for Linux, which comes with Ubuntu from the Microsoft App Store, and test alternative Linux programs. No dual boot. You start Windows and under Windows you start Linux in a window. You switch from Windows to Linux as you switch between Windows programs. When you want to stick with Windows, just uninstall WSL as any other Windows program. When you are convinced that you don't need Windows anymore, you can install Linux as dual boot for just in case, or scrap Windows completely. I wanted to get rid of Windows already long ago and finally Microsoft forced me to move because my Mini-PC isn't compatible with Win 11. A couple of weeks ago I tried from memory stick a Live version of Linux Mint Cinnamon, which is based on Ubuntu. The desktop of this Linux distribution is quite similar to Windows and I found it quite easy to use. So I scrapped Windows. And now I'm a happy Linux user, get updates almost every day installed within minutes, not once a month and lasting up to or more than one hour.
  5. A friend has a joint account with his girlfriend at Bangkok Bank. She can take 50% at any time and the other 50% with certificate of inheritance which to get may take a while.
  6. A while ago I bought some solid copper wires to be installed in pipes at a hardware store. I measured the diameters with a caliper and calculated the cross-sectional areas: solid copper wire 1.5 mm²: diameter should be 1.36 mm but was only 1.1 mm, i.e. 0.95 mm² solid copper wire 2.5 mm²: diameter should be 1.75 mm but was only 1.5 mm, i.e. 1.77 mm² solid copper wire 4 mm²: diameter should be 2.21 mm but was only 1.7 mm, i.e. 2.27 mm² 7 stranded copper wire 6 mm²: diameter should be 3.12 mm but was only 2.3 mm, i.e. 4.15 mm²
  7. I would never buy anything with this name. Pajero is a not so nice spanish word https://translate.google.com/?sl=es&tl=en&text=pajero
  8. That's my knowledge too. Tax office waits for the manufacturer to pay the tax before sending the papers for registration to the manufacturer. Manufacturer waits for the dealer to pay the tax before paying to the tax office. Both can take advantage by delaying at the expense of the buyer. Having the papers you can register yourself in a couple of hours. I did it myself.
  9. That's a good idea. Are the cables and the pipes between inner and outer unit also in the wall? Any references, drawings, pictures?
  10. I had several of them. They catched mosquitos but only the few which accidentally came close enough. Later I read about professional devices which are effevtive because they have the smell and temperature of warm-blooded animals. But they cost several hundred dollars.
  11. Common price range is 10,000 to 20,000 Baht per sqm. Companies offering houses, e.g. PD House, can give you a good idea how much to pay for what.
  12. Baan&Beyond belongs Thai Watsadu at least in Khon Kaen. On the bills you get at Baan&Beyond it says Thai Watsadu in Thai.
  13. My last two online 90 day reports were rejected without reason and data incorrect, Khon Kaen. I went in person no problem. Officers gave no answer or said they don't know why online was rejected. I guess online system has problems or it's wanted you come in person.
  14. Had a similar experience looking for Kerry Express locations on Google Maps. Most of them were closed or didn't exist (anymore). A friend of mine had the same experience looking for Yamaha motorbike shops. From this I assume deleting places in Google Maps takes a long time.
