  1. Not sure I understand the push for EV cars Clean air, No solid dirty fuel, OK thought that LPG was pushed to cover this, CNG and NGV the newest... You have some places in the UK where people go out and cut or let down big cars/4x4 tyres in protest, some of these are on gas so clean ? or are they..... there again Guess these Protesters will do the same with EV cars it they are short on Electric at home The way I see EV is every so often there must be built in boost charge lanes on the roads so the EV cars get charged, {like in Formula E race } Like here you charge up pre-pay for your Motorway pass, do the same for recharging EV's on the move of course the downside is Government worldwide would have to invest million/billions The biggest problem gas was the time it took to fill with gas over petrol, with EV's at present appears takes a hour or so to charge + the waiting time to get to a charger..
  2. No idea is it good or bad ? Always drank for 30 + years no lees then 30 mugs of fresh black coffee a day. was the only drink the coffee machine was ON from the time I woke up to the time went to bed.... When I moved here 19 years ago, drank less coffee, for past 10 year always drink 5 mugs black coffee every morning..... one Dr in his 60's here seen him many times over the years said to drink less, I told him I do as used to drink 30 cups a day !!!! Do have Blood Pressure problems, Another Dr 2 months ago [looked to be just out of short pants] [on my 3 monthly check up] said if my BP is low drink another cup of coffee or 2 as this will rise it.... Yesterday morning was bad blurred almost passing out --- BP was 101/58. after 6 mugs of black coffee BP was 147/77......... so maybe it works ?? Appears every DR/Medical person has different ideas on most things
  3. Not in CM..... also snapping my frame went into a local Thai optical shop out in the sticks near me, he looked at them, tested my eyes, said the lenses were OK so we looked at new frames, ... He then went on his machine and trimmed my lenses to fit the new frames... so can be done/repaired Earlier this year had my eyes tested at Government Hospital, she said best to down grade to bifocals [have had Varifocals for over 40 years] total cost with new Frames + lenses + Eye Dr test 1,200 baht. Hate bifocals will not have them again
  4. Had a problem like this a while ago PC battery maybe the problem = the clock is running slow or stops intermittently = Invalid token as you try signing out before you sign in or so it thinks..... ?? [did have a problem of the year suddenly changing] After I replaced my battery never had the problem again............
  5. For some maybe..... had part 1 in November 2019 = 5 days in Hospital, told not to have the final part. of this Vaccine.
  6. All the people I know that are "fully vaccinated" are getting Covid 3 so far this week, 2 ladies have had it before, the Man has never had it before, his Daughter came home with it and he has now got it, conformed Tuesday ALL have had there booster shots so "fully vaccinated" Me cannot have the Vaccine so if I ever get it will have to put up with it [or die in my 70's anyway]
  7. as said try another Browser, myself use AVG Browser just for Facebook Main Browser is Chrome. also use Opera for some sites..... find which is the best for you and your PC
  8. Notice Banana It are doing some very good priced M/B www.bnn.in.th/ B550 + the B450 and the A520 -- 1,500 - 1.800 baht Brand New with 3 year warranty Have in the last couple of years replaced the case now have Full Tower AZZA with 10 case fans THERMALTAKE 750W GOLD PSU, New SSD only have the OS on it, + replaced 2 of my 2 TB HDDs... New Graphics Card Some laptops just run and run.. My Sony AMD Laptop gave up after 18 years, my partners Acer XP Laptop has come to end of life = painfully slow and has a mind of its own, is 15 years old.... now uses a Tablet...
  9. Appears you pay 2 - 3.000 baht for a ? {Good} used Gigabyte mainboard with a week warranty ...... the board is 10 years old would this be better than the board I already have ? never feel it is a good idea to buy used computer parts... A Brand New AM4 GIGABYTE B550M = 3,390 baht with 3 year warranty....... even a Brand New GIGABYTE A520 is 2,440 baht with 3 year warranty. both for JIB or Advice.... pay as much for a 10 year old used mainboard ??
  10. Yes done that, one of the sticks was a little hotter than the others, but cleaned them all anyway.
  11. Who are you asking ? Me at present Keyboard wireless and mouse USB.... [same as when using the USB Keyboard] Unplugged all 4 USB WD My Passports. made no difference [some time ago to check] VGA card was also very old replaced last month to new RX 6500. made no difference to the freezing every so often
  12. mine has been doing the same for near on 2 years.... Is it getting to hot loading all start up items ? = 2 weeks ago cleaned CPU added new paste, is better so now maybe once in 3 start ups yes used to do the same, but found if I went to kitchen and made a coffee on returning all was working again... or sit there for up to 5 mins and suddenly it will make a beep noise and keyboard and mouse works again..... Think on my old PC answer post 2 from fdsa' is most likely a month ago one o my HDD s vanished, last week another Vanished, both time appears the problem is the Sata connection on the Motherboard.. so only 4 connection now work = had to unplug the DVD drive... Have been thinking for a long time of upgrading my M/B - CPU and Ram ....... so soon will rebuild Gigabyte AM4 B550 + Ryzen 5 5600X and 16 GB 3200 Ram.......................... Present Gigabyte AM 3 + FX 8300 + 16 GB 1330 Ram 11 years old, PC on around 15 hours a day 365 days a year, so lasted well.
  13. Not sure it has anything to do with M$ Office I have the same problem, but use WPS Office for many years, this problem started a few weeks ago Yes it's annoying... Maybe a Windows update ?
  14. Sort of, you make it sound easy... years ago would buy a Thai Sim card when I arrived here on Holiday..... Likewise going to UK on Holiday would buy a UK Sim card as soon as getting off the plane...... How would you enter a EU or UK number to a brand new UK Sim card to connect to your email account.? I have tried looking this up, appears would loose ones email account as cannot verify....... only other option would be to buy a Roaming package.... Why to use 1 time only crazy So far as I know UK Sim cards are not sold here, so how to enter a UK number before leaving Thailand ?? Everything to make it complicated and confusing for us oldies

  16. Thai friend has the new MG VS but needed home Electric changed as three-phase power is needed for charging Is that true ?
  17. Two items always buy online many times a year Fish Food + Dog Food So 20 kg of Fish food in the Shop 550 baht + 33 km round trip Buy on Lavada same sack from same shop always delivered next day... 330 baht + 230 baht Delivery charge. I cannot drive there and back for 10 baht !!....... buy 2 sacks on the same order = still 230 baht delivery charge.
  18. Use 4 Browser's for years Chrome, AVG, Opéra and Internet Explorer , now called Edge, maybe should be called Freeze Net ? appears to open then freeze almost every time, mostly only for seconds... Can never remember having problems with Netscape Navigator...when they 1st came out used Firefox forever updating to new version some updates worked some did not.. Did use Bravo for a while
  19. No idea where you come up with that ???? Using it since 2001 back then was called Kingswood Office classed as one of the best followed closely by LibreOffice https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/wps_office.html https://filehippo.com/search/?q=WPS+Office
  20. Use Free WPS for many years https://www.wps.com/
  21. at lease 2 years + sent so many other Drs test/scans etc, worst one was amlodipine, feet ankles legs hip so swollen ended up in a wheelchair for months "found the right one" back on the same one I had from 1970 so maybe these still trying to find a newer med for me
  22. YES Maybe the Dr will try different med's lisinopril diltiazem amlodipine benazepril 4 of many med's cannot take Myself have had all of these Blood Pressure Med's , had very bad side effects so taken off to try a different one by Doctors. = why I am back on the 53 year old Atenolol
  23. What I found over past 20 years appear to happen here that make difference...... Seen many Drs in Hospitals + Clinics over the years, Many Dr work x amount of time in a Big Private Hospital the other hours in Government Hospitals or Clinics..... = often totally different Med's available Another is the Dr and age group, the older Dr tends to give tried and tested med's. the younger ones are more likely give you new ones,,, a 60 year old Dr has maybe only read about some med's. the 20 something Dr was trained with the newer latest med's Eg: had a problem was taken to the local Hospital 2018 for 4 nights, list of all my daily med's 4 type of med's they did not stock. so given some different ones....... 2015 went with kidney failure to Red Cross for 5 nights, they have all med's....... 2004 Diabetic Dr at a local small private Hospital said goal = 130 reading....... The male older Diabetic Dr at Red Cross, got me to keep my Blood Sugar between 95 - 120 and adjust my Insulin to the reading,,,,,,,,,,, Because of Covid + the long trip to BKK, now use local Government Hospital, the much younger female Dr want me to keep the same units of Insulin each time + set the goal at 150 !!! Crazy every so often my BS will drop, no way with a reading of under 60 would I take take a full amount of Insulin [she was not even born when I was controlling Diabetics]
