I have the Brother DCP-1510 and still great results after 6 + years. Always buy non-branded toners Do not print very much maybe 5 pages a month, but use the scanner many times a week, [if you are scanning colour it scans/saves in colour] It is good to have a printer at home for the odd print needed [live out in the sticks] got sick and fed up the Inkjets {NOT cheap ones] clogging up all the time + worked out expensive as all the colour tanks replacement costs + the Inkjets appeared to be about 2 years before unusable before having to buy yet another new one... The Brother DCP-1510 was the 1st and only Laser printer I have ever had, would never go back to Inkjets.

Carryboy vs Cityboy pick up canopies.....info needed
ignis replied to Kenny202's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
No idea, maybe the newer ones are not so good ??. maybe a fitting problem ? or the paint ? Maybe km covered ? we live some 55 km from BKK, many work in BKK, one drives to Hue Hin every day = high usage here in the Village, one guy with a Vigo 2016. is gold, the canopy looks more dirty muddy grey these days and another with a Ford is dark blue very faded in places 2014, + problems with the window struts and the rear lock, both have the same very faded canopy back lights - there now yellow not red........ saying that the Black 4 door Vigo 2018. is still perfect he will change it this year anyway as done 420,000 km. The only problem we had with the Sammitr canopy was the motor for the auto back release got stuck one day a new one was fitted by Sammitr... we normally change pickup @ 300,000 km or 3 years. because of Covid present one is almost 5 years old will change in the next few months. Downside, the steel canopy has not got a front the roof and side are butted up to the cab and mastic makes the seal = if cab and canopy flexes + the sun = can crack and let water in if it rains,,,, new mastic is easy applied The Carryboy is a fiberglass tub so has a front to it = there is a gap between cab and canopy = better ? mess can get down between so cover both the canopy front and cab rear windows. one old guy with a old model used to take the back off every year to clean -

Thanks Like today, feel odd/bad + bad eyes + the shakes, BP OK bit low, but BS very low...... = wasted 5 strips trying to find the blood would be so much easier to look at a automatic monitor. [or with voice]... did ask a Dr a couple of years ago = Dexcom G6 Sensor was very expensive + expensive ongoing supplies.

Blood Glucose Smart Watch anyone got one do they work ? read last year https://thaiembdc.org/2021/04/21/thailand-develops-smartwatch-that-measures-blood-sugar/ but seen nothing since, but see China has them... + on Lazada and shopee If they work would save a lot in the long run with the price of the monitor strips.... + convenient and can see anytime one wished

Bought the largest one a few years ago expensive every few months went back to Samsung repair centre would not charge, was FREE for the 1st year, returned maybe 7 times always the same problem, would take 3 days to repair... Then they started charging so has been sat in a draw for the past 3 or so years....

Friend tested Positive last Tuesday mouth saliva test.. He went to the Hospital and took another test = Negative Dr said before testing brush teeth + use mouthwash, take your med's wait 30 mins then test... to many people are testing positive because of old germs in mouth giving false readings. He has tested every day since all Negative.. something I did not know - [only use for years C 20 Antiseptic Mouth Wash]

Think the OP answered the question .. "no intention to ever live back in the mother country" me at over 70 never bothered to renew my UK license, cannot see myself ever returning to the UK. [needs to be renewed every 3 years + Medical for the over 70's] . had my Thai license for 18 years, so will just keep renewing that.. Also have a German, French, Dutch and Portuguese Driving licenses no idea if or when then run out likewise cannot see myself ever returning.

Had no idea been looking at going EV on the next car {Feb 2023 change] but here appear not a good idea yet, but been looking, appears the automatic system is already being tested in many places but some time away... Dynamic Wireless Power Transfer (DWPT) - a system that relies on coils positioned beneath the road surface to charge the EV. Israel and Italy , Denmark, Norway. Holland are testing different types, also roadside charging markers.. Appear Japan will have the Wi-Fi charging system by 2025

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..

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

Reasonably priced eye glasses/lenses, crazy pricing or just me?
ignis replied to jay36's topic in Chiang Mai
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 -

COVID-19 infections on the rise among people not fully vaccinated
ignis replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
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] -
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

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 ??
