  1. Hello dear mods,

    As a few of you (senior) ones know, I used to handle this for a living a few years ago, and as per definition/direction I had to follow instructions to the law. But the "law" did not account for deviation, and thus allowed it...

    For example. A banned URL http://www.something.com has been deemed unviewable in ones current location. Fine, thats the law, lets get on with it, deal with the URL filters and move on. Lets not talk about proxies or VPNs' that let us masquerade to be in another location. We sit at our desks and browse as we normally do. If the Thai authorities choose to block one thing and not another, are we at fault for going to the latter ?

    What I am asking, is that if http://www.something.com/ is obviously banned by the authorities, what is TV's stance on links to http://www.something.else.com/ (same content, different URL) - which is not restricted ?

    Cheers.

  2. One thing that popped in my mind. Whilst living in Yangon (Myanmar) I used to sometimes get some scoff at a restaurant called Le Planteur - and I'm sure little guys like this used to fly between the palm trees..... I'll speak to my old mates back there and report back.

  3. Just took delivery of a Teclast X98 Air II 3G Dual Boot.

    It's fantastic, runs Android 4.4.4 or Windows 8.1, lovely IPs screen, 2GB running memory, 32GB internal storage, with MMC SD and Sim card slots.

    9.7" screen, similar shape to iPad air. Slightly lighter than an iPad 4. reported 8 hours battery....

    Cost me £160.00 UKP - Highly recommended.

    HI Phazey,

    how is the experience with the Teclast? Is switching between the OS uncomplicated and easy? Secondly, how is your own experience with the battery life?

    Well switching between OS requires a reboot - then just tap the OS you wish to load, Android or Windows, which shows up on the initial power-up screen.

    I've not power-used (is that a word?) it enough to really go through the battery, but it's rock solid so far. Just taken delivery of a BT keyboard with laptop style hinge and a BT mouse (this is for an iPad air, but the Teclast is identical in size, so can use it), with a further HDMI lead so i can dock it.

    I'm really looking forwards to installing Windows 10 on it (which some users have already done with the developer preview. Tonights project is to see if it'll be beefy enough to run Mass Effect. I've already paired it with a bluetooth gamepad and done some Steam in-home streaming and it worked like a champ.

    Loving it currently.
