A Museum? It's an Academy.

At least if you buy a season ticket the exhibits will rotate once a month....

Probably due to local events of the past few days. More social media usage, more monitoring by the upper powers...

not much for conspiracy theories, but this did cross my mind.

still as i said, its just as painful on vpn.

No conspiracy theory. I for one notice my speeds degrade up until 9am, 12-13:00 and 17-19:00. Commute and lunch times.

I've also ran an internet gateway during times of heightened security, so also know the seats are staffed a bit more vigorously....

Say what you like about your VPN, it still goes through the same congested links....

Don't take so much to the office. Have chargers and sync cables already there. Then just carry your iPad in hand.

MODERATORS! Please escalate this post to Admins, please do not copy and paste, then close this based on the rules you have to work from!

Ads exist on more that ThaiVisa, and whilst I agree TV needs an income (and reject Ad free donations, which i have floated before) How about instead of closing EVERY ad block topic started because of "forum rules" TV takes the time to whitelist itself with the adblocker providers, and allow the users to discuss ways of the wider "every website on the planet serves ads" problem.

Seriously, something needs to evolve here. I'd like an Admin response why TV is not whitelisted with adblocking services, and why a premium subscription is not available. After all, an ad free paid for service is available on the mobile app.......

Just be mindful not to delete the originals and only have the thumbnails of your last 15 years events. :(

From BBC Asia Online. This vid shows the suspects every move! Can see him waiting to sit with backpack on. Sitting down and removing backpack. Placing backpack on the ground. Stands up to take a pic, or give the appearance of doing so. Then leaving WITHOUT THE BACKPACK..

Stranger still...they say this is CCTV footage, but sure looks like the camera is focused on him and moves to follow him.

I'll put this one to bed. There's two reasons.

1) The CCTV footage has been blown up and zoomed on the subject, placing him in full frame. To emulate this, place the forefinger and thumb on both hands into a square (yes, just like movie directors do) and place this over your TV - now imagine that frame as full screen. You'll get blurry and artifacted images as the video processing engine scales things up, and you'll also get a haze.

2) Focused movement: Best way i can explain this, with that "finger square" in mind (and some modern webcams with "face tracking features" the box will move around the full frame image - giving the illusion of the camera following the subject - it's available in most video editing software.

Hope this helps.

Must have tattoos on both arm as you can see he wears a band to cover them

Careful. Remember the Boston bombings where some reddit users pointed the finger at some CCTV imagery - the poor innocent lad committed suicide. Lets wait for the experts to do their thing.

Too early to speculate but according to a Thai expert on BBC tonight , since the bomb was placed at the shrine it was not primarily targeting tourists , but local Thais. So it could very well be a political motive.

Not a hope , what would be the point the Junta are on the back foot , its also a massive tourist attraction

You never know. I lived in Yangon whilst the bombings happened there. They were mostly harmless, attacking public toilets, however there was one in the Traders, and once in a supermarket. Word was, "a group in control" were responsible as to vindicate their existence and justify their position of power....

Please can people not post graphic photos on here. If sick individuals want to look at them use a link.

just report the post to the mods and they'll deal with it - I did

At time index 18:56:00 there is a piece of motorcycle (I think) that falls in the middle of the street to the left of the green sign in the middle of the video.

It's a torso.

Reuters say 27 dead inc 4 foreigners.

Explosion outside Bangkok shrine 'captured on CCTV video' d.gu.com/Bt37Hv

This is the unedited version that contains body parts. BBC blurred it.

Be warns if you are easily upset.

There's body parts in the video above, please exercise caution.

Just hit the BBC, reporter stated he saw at least 11 bodies.

Ads exist on more that ThaiVisa, and whilst I agree TV needs an income (and reject Ad free donations, which i have floated before) How about instead of closing EVERY ad block topic started because of "forum rules" TV takes the time to whitelist itself with the adblocker providers, and allow the users to discuss ways of the wider "every website on the planet serves ads" problem.

For example.

And to the Mod i PM'd, this is NOT IN ANY WAY a personal attack, i respect you, but to be frank, without an adblocker, I could not surf TV from many places (work).

Hugs.

Here's a stabilised video of the explosions. Contains profanity (and tbh, i don't blame them)

It depends how much you really want to know.

I hope you are clued in Linux or have someone who is, as this will be my focus.

You can use something like a small computer or a Raspberry Pi to sit inbetween your switch and last hop (DSL router). Hopefully your router supports SNMP, and from that you can monitor throughput with something like MRTG.

If you want a more controlling/monitoring method, you could block all outgoing HTTP/HTTPS connections and have them all route through something like SQUID - from here you can process the access_logs and gain an idea whos doing what. Obviously the Pi will also have iptables installed, so you can log incoming connections attempts and drop them. You could even restrict how much bandwidth one device uses, if you have an issue with the network being flooded and slow....

If you have a small PC lying around, you can install something like pfSense which will give you more control and visibility - your milage may vary.

Hmmm, this smells of the 2004 coup, where Lt General Khin Nyunt was detained and MI purged. All for becoming a little bit too liberal and engaging the opposition. Shwe Mann was seen to be doing the same, and the recent attempt to get the militaries veto reduced to 70% may have induced the overthrow.

Same old tbh....

I installed a cheap vDSL switch in the condo block i was living in about 8 years ago, got 2 - 4 mbit over the in room phone lines, i think it cost $150 for the switch, $20 for the in room modems, all came back to the wet wall where the switch/pbx was located.

Jeez, Hammersmith flyover "looked a tad scruffy" and was closed for a few months whilst it was repaired!

Better head down the local restaurant, They could be serving "Chicken Tarka", it's just like a Chicken Tikka, except it's a little otter.

Someones' got a frog in their throat.....

That's an awesome price, but then again, I guess i'm also paying UK VAT. I have however passed it on to the guys who are local.

Cheers
