Lazada Nonsense Again, but is it ? Last night went to the SCB bank ATM as have done many times before to put money IN, no it was not possible max transaction is 30,000 baht, as I was putting in 65,000 took forever as had to make 3 x transactions enter my name, + Passport No [thankfully have it on my phone] + account name + phone number + code they sent to my mobile x 3, all I can say is thank goodness no other person wanted to use the machine in the 20 mins I had to stand there last month went into the Pink Bank to pay in 6,000 with savings book, have done so for past 15 years, now not possible without i.d Banking system gone mad ?? Pink Bank always same branch most are the same staff !!

Face Mask has not gone away where I live, everyone wears a face mask, even in the Village all ages, last Friday went to Central Westgate shocked to see about 25% of people not wearing them, mostly white people and young Thais. I go every day 5 houses up the Village to a retired Nurse to get my dressing changed would not think of not wearing a mask Met my Cousin visiting Thailand at Westgate, he is 72 next month, had the Jab + all boosters in the UK, yet still got Covid twice..

I order always COD, after the order you get a email as well confirming the order and amount, next day check the order status on Lazada if sent put exact money in a clear small bag ready...... 12.12 was sale day, ordered 3 items, all money put in bags, 1x item 213 baht delivered yesterday, another has been picked up by delivery service, the other is out for delivery, maybe today is 758 baht... The COD scam ? is not always for little amounts, couple of years ago had a delivery guy arrive with a parcel COD for 4,750 baht.... had a few over the years of small amounts 2 - 300 baht.. Nothing I ordered so did not accept or pay, often wonder what was it in these parcels and how many others got the same and paid

I have cataracts in both eyes age 73. told unless is troubling me not to bother yet, Chula - Red Cross Hospital 2020 the eye Dr said the Op is 16 -20,000 per eye + lens deepens on type, but total cost should not be more that 35,000 per eye, they said do 1 eye and the other 1 month later, new glasses in the mean time [total cost 1,350 baht] The Pinklao Eye Hospital said around 70.000 per eye. So Government Hospital a lot cheaper

Maybe try downloading a bootable Linux to a USB drive, and see if it works faster ? at least you will know if it is the OS or some hardware problems.. 6 mins to boot wow my very old desktop take 21 - 34 seconds to boot windows 10 check what is starting when you boot, most items do not need to be there, find from time to time software will go back to starting up on boot which are not needed....... maybe disable some and see if start up is faster

take old pack to any Thai Pharmacy will have and cheap,

my auto update is disabled, checking early this week, Windows 10 Pro came back as unable to update - error, likewise my Radeon update said not found update cancelled !! will give it all a good clean inside next week and try again

Yes need a good clean up, did some of the fans last week, so dirty The Azza case I have has 10 case fans + have dogs so collects a lot of hair and dust, looking inside all a bit dusty so a good clean would maybe improve the odd errors.......... The DVD drive vanishing this morning changed to a different Sata plug on MB is working again.

Yes already looked and put in Bookmarks usb hub 7 port 3.0 usb extender.. Mini PCs look good but is a minefield appears 5,000 - 68,000 baht, most can only get from China. in Thailand appear to be only cheap older hardware models [or mid range pre order arrives in 20 days] anything up to date here in Thailand are Apple Mac's with a desktop understand M/B + CPU + Graphics card the main items = price, the Mini's are onboard graphics so why the high price difference... Likewise what I have now is really all I need, quite fast enough FX 8320, [very latest CPU on the market at the time] just at odd times will do odd things, a HDD will vanish, but come back hours later, at this moment the DVD drive has vanished, often open a page and it will hang, wait 5 mins and it starts working again, maybe twice a week will not start says No OS found, will slide the SSD tray out then restart so use the backup USB drive will work [maybe the SSD drive has vanished ?]

Yes think your right, leaning that way, as have 3 USB HDDs + inside have 2x 2TB HDDs and my system on a SSD + in the back Speakers uses USB , Cam is USB. Printer is USB always have Smartphone USB cable plugged in..

appears can still buy online from China, the NUC B13 is a i 3 The NUC B 4 is very old, guess OK for a TV Box

yes good reviews on the Ryzen 7 and the Ryzen 9

good office one is 32,000 baht

Anyone using ? My old PC is having problems built 12 years ago debating what to do re build my PC or get a all new Mini ? [only ever used AMD all my life] Ryzen 7 5800H. is about the same price as me upgrading to a AM 4 B550 Motherboard + Ryzen 5600 + Ram + a new M2 SDD so wondered if anyone has gone to a Mini PC and what if any drawbacks ? As already have + using a 3 month old Graphics card + year old full size AZZA case + 18 month old POWER SUPPLY (80+ GOLD) 750W THERMALTAKE

Depend what Hospital is used. for years only use Government Hospital and getting my med's there are cheaper Have looked many times over the years places like the 'cheap' Pharmacies on Rama 4 in BKK, there still more expensive than the Government Hospital Pharmacy.... Also where I live NO Pharmacy sells Insulin...... There are advances to a Pharmacy, 3 different tablets I take you can get the mg I need, the Government Hospital only has one type... = Dr Prescription 25 mg per day - Hospital only has 100 mg not that easy cutting a tablet into 4, the other 2 types is only cutting once.

Been taking High B P Med's for over 30 years, suddenly started dropping. Dr reduced Losartan 100mg per day to 50 mg in Feb. last week reduced them again to 25 mg per day Age 74, last week at Hospital reading 109/61.......... take at home every day anyway, next appointment end Jan

never moved in 20 years. registered in Nonthaburi, last time used Nonthaburi office was about 17 years ago, = all day job so do in another office out in the sticks much easier in and out within 1 hour with new Licence Go to Local Village town Hall get my proof of address, never had a problem, likewise also use to register car, and always go there to get my road Tax

Used M$ Office 95, never upgraded to 7, as you say there are as good or better out there for Free

Chrome + AVG + Opera use all 3 every day for years some websites are better in different browsers

remember at 17 many guessed my age as 20 something, now people guess my age as 60 something, really 73 in a months time

Omron HeartGuide Smart Watch but expensive 24.615 baht

Amazing how dirty the floor gets, downstairs must mop every evening, kitchen every 2nd day.. do have the windows and doors open 24/7.. + have dogs Upstairs even if the dogs do not go up, the master bedroom is very dirty and full of hair in a week, again windows open 24/7... [7 windows in bedroom] Both spare bedrooms windows closed, run the mops over every couple of months not dirty..

2004 went to Immigration for Certificate of Residence what a performance and silly copy after copy of paperwork would then only send it + took 3 weeks Never been there again, since then always see my local 'Head Man' we go to the town hall and get the Certificate simple no waiting no money, I have been on the Amphur Computer since 2004, so every time I need a new Certificate they simply bring up my file change the date > print > take to Boss = signed and big red seal stamp... have in my hand within 30 mins Likewise last time went to Nonthaburi DLT was 2008 = all day job, now just drive out into the sticks to a DLT, easy simple eg: last renewed DL there were 5 people there in & out in less then 1 hour with new licence in hand.

As a youngster to be clean shaven was at least twice a day shave Past 50 years have a Goatee = past few years just need to shave the non hair bits once a week
