Believe the old age pension is around 600 baht pert month Guess trying to make ends meet, - old + wheelchair not a lot of options to make a bit extra

Few years ago [did not know any better back then] had eye test and new varifocals, on collection was not good, the staff said need a few days to get used to them.. 3 visits later a older man re-tested my eyes, Yes prescription was correct, but found a problem they were not made with the lenses in the correct position on one side -- middle lens was at the top ! reading lens was in the middle and long distance was at the bottom, I did get new correctly made glasses + a discount for there error.............. have Never paid 20,000+ baht again Present glasses = eye test + very nice frames + lenses for under 2,000 at Government Hospital

Likewise Acer for 14 years, never a problem, just these days painfully slow and still on XP, but it still works slowly plugged in, battery died a few years ago, my very expensive 'Sony' totally died after 12 years Expensive is not always better

other than my backup WD Ext. HDD, the other 3 WD Ext .USB HDD have been connected for years [ 1 x 1TB + 2 x2 TB] on the oldest Ext. 1TB HDD just looked some items date back to 2012, so it has been plugged in for 14 years.

Just avoid the cordless ones, as most are crap No idea why, my last cordless gave up after 22 years, my present one is 11 years old + a cheap one from and named Mr DIY [under 300 baht] Years ago bought a expensive electric trimmer. some USA brand it stopped working after a couple of years...

Sharp yes had no end of Fans over the years until I bought a Sharp so much better and stronger, so far have 5 never had a problem, only 4 more to go when the old one fall to bits. as for kettle, always use the hot pot, 'HomeSmart' appear to last 12 years, present one is 8 years old, it is the vacuum push pump thing that goes, notice new ones cost under 800 baht

Found out years ago... If you have your towel hanging in the bathroom shake well before using,, as for the floor buy a spray bottle [ 3 bottle's for 20 baht at 20 baht shop] always have a bottle handy filled with 'Duck' bathroom cleaner to spray the floor they wiggle about and die, amazing how the little one get between the cracks of the tiles. Not seen a big one for a long time, just no idea where all the little comes keep coming from. maybe up the shower drain hole ?

Just got back from the Hospital.... on the BP Machine 122/64, did ask the Dr. she called a Nurse that did it with stethoscope and manometer = 118/58.... So I was correct in reducing Med's myself on the odd days or missing them altogether.. The only odd thing have been reducing the Insulin myself as often to low, yet this morning at Hospital was Blood Test was103.. but the HbA1c was up to 7.1 !! All the other test were fine and well in range

Yes Carrefour and Tesco had many of there own Brand products + far cheaper that big name brands in Bic C Extra or Lotus's

Yes also get them all the time..... Hate it often I cannot see the little picture and no idea it it is a car a bush a bus, if you get it wrong then another set comes up with more hard to see items bicycles, bridges, traffic lights

Yes same here I check my Blood Sugar level every morning and evening and write the results in an Excel file with BP readings with a link to a second page with the details of the food and drinks I had that day. I am always near last to see the Dr as she takes time reading the daily reports I have type 1.5 Lada Diabetes . my HbA1c level has been around 6.0 - 6.3 for some years

Welcome to the Club, Also beyond me mine is all over the place for last few weeks, At 11:30 BP 101/57 this morning but at 7:30 was 135/67 also low so did not take my BP Meds yet it still kept going down.. ? bed time so checked it just now 123/71 so OK to go to bed... at the weekend passing out was down to 63/49 !! so many days this month have not taken any BP Meds at all other day cutting My Med's in halve....... Have a full detailed list for the Dr on Friday... If you have not got one, then buy a BP Monitor I have had one for years and before any Med's always take a reading = know how much med's I need. If it is not Blood pressure then it Blood Sugar is all over the place last few weeks mostly way to low + often not taken my Insulin or just part of my daily units again a BS Monitor is a must if your Diabetic my monitor give me an idea of how much Insulin I need to take Maybe it is the joys of being old ? BS + BP problems for 33 years

Scan my Box Maybe this helps ? Local Pharmacy a few Villages away, they also have 100mg

To me Anyone, Anywhere at Any time........ don't see the point + that also goes for expensive watches.. If you must wear a necklace appear this new 3D thing would be the way to go ? Men's 3D printed Thai Gold Necklace 1,060 baht.. anyone stealing it would get a shock as it is worth nothing

As you said + have done for years simple and cheap just a few mouse clicks. Still would rather build my own, would have the hardware brands I want and trust/used for years, just not as able as I was

As said my eyes are not what they used to be or for that matter are my hands that steady, so a PC ready to go in my mind would be better, than having to part build a new PC Newest system AM 5 board + DD5 Ram, is also on my list. under 16.000 baht + would be delivered same day + could fit my present SSD + HDDs https://www.advice.co.th/product/computer-set-amd/set-amd/คอมประกอบ-advice-computer-set-amd-a141-ryzen-5-7600-no-vga

Not even interested in 4k + or even 2 x HDMI, but that is what it says it comes with - maybe if I live that long will have to replace the TV, so maybe 4k ? My Acer 32" Curved Monitor is newish so not looking to replace that. just looking to replace my 13 years old AMD FX Pc so maybe will buy a Mini, my eyes are not what they used to be so a ready build maybe better then self build PC

on your link shows 2 HDMI Looking at the Ryzen 7 [maybe will buy] says Supports 8K displays & multiple screens. has 2 HDMI plugs

From what I can see this B-4 is a Intel i3 ? the B-6 is Intel i5 ? the B-8 is a Intel i7 + better Graphics - am I right ? Having never had or used a Intel PC find it hard to know, always had and used AMD, problem is most descent AMD Mini PC's are/shipped from China. anything halve decent already in Thailand are a few thousand baht more. - eg: AMD R5-7500 from China 13,400 baht - same spec in Thailand 18,200 baht and up !!! then I found this + in Thailand ?? https://www.lazada.co.th/products/genmachine-new-mini-pc-amd-ryzen-7-5800u-windows11-8-cores-16-threads-ddr4-3200mhz-max-64g-ram-4t-ssd-wifi6-bt52-support-three-screen-4k-hd-output-mini-desktop-office-computer-1-year-warranty-i4953461015-s20818126022.html?

Re your link - Yes JIB have them but Memory = • Not Included Storage = • Not Included OS = • Not Included so add these on = expensive on JIB = around 20.000+ baht The Lazada link - Bmax B6 looks a great deal all included + already in Thailand for 7,800 baht with Free delivery I was already looking at the ' Bmax Official Store'

Went to immigration for a Certificate in 2004, what a performance, + took 3 weeks for in to arrive, never been back for a Certificate since at immigration ... Use the local Town Hall, need - Passport, Blue Book, letter from owner + copy of there i.d + the head man of the local Village, done in a few mins FREE.. Ok past few years is easy as I am on there Computer so they just look up last entry put on a new date, print the local headman signs and they take it to the Junta for the big red seal.

Not only big ticket item buy at Home Pro, Needed RECESSED LED PANEL LAMP 60x60 Home Pro + Global House have them 1,590 - 1.890 baht each Lazada 199 baht, in the past 2 years have bought 4 all perfect, bit thin but works fine, 2 others small ones about the same price years ago and sill working fine.. air purifier bought at Home Pro. they replaces it under warranty within 3 months, even the replacement only works for a short time, as I can remember cost around 3.000 + baht !! yet the 590 baht one from Lazada years ago still working fine it is all a bit pot luck

Anything good that I no longer want is put in a clear plastic bag and left on top of the rubbish bin, when the bin men come notice it goes into there cab

Most new Motherboards these days have 1 or 2 on board M-2 SSD slots on them, [mush faster] so easy to put 1TB WD Black @ 2,700 baht when building ? https://www.jib.co.th/web/product/readProduct/53212/1471/1-TB-SSD--เอสเอสดี--WD-BLACK-SN770---PCIe-4x4-NVMe-M-2-2280--WDS100T3X0E-

Intel Gen 14 'Raptor Lake' is already on sale at both JIB and Advice now - take a look at there websites Appears the New 14 Gen Intel cost the same or cheaper than the 13 Gen, so can only guess maybe the remaining [old stock] 13 Gen CPUs will come down in price As for Motherboards, up to you and what you need - you like Asus, myself like Gigabyte
