on the Web it appears I am not alone 'easier faster and smoother on a computer' many reports resent 2024 and going back to 2017 eg: The reason why streaming is easier and smoother on your computer is because your computer is more powerful than your android box, Because streaming is so intensive, it affects the quality of how the stream goes. Usually for most, it cuts your framerates in half. Your android box are not as powerful as your computer and probably don't have a dedicated graphics card, so they have a hard time streaming. Hardware Differences: Your PC likely has more powerful hardware compared to your Android TV box. PCs typically have faster processors, more RAM, and better storage capabilities than most Android TV boxes. This extra processing power can make a significant difference in how quickly the Kodi application can search for and retrieve movie links. + 100 more of why a PC is easier and faster on your computer than most Android boxes but again it all to do with price you want to pay > Android Box 1,400+ vs decent Mini PC 12,000+, mid range good PC 30.000+ Some people have it installed on there Laptops, when at home plug into TV to view on big screen

Why do you think I would do that ?? Have shortcut Icon on Desktop named TV = takes me direct to that Harddrive to all I want to watch Few years ago Not Possible so yes used to use Bluestacks Android Emulator, for watching on PC not anymore > uninstalled Bluestacks last year off my PC as no longer in this day and age needed Kodi is available as a native application for Android, Linux, Mac OS X, iOS and Windows operating systems, running on most common processor architectures + all the other TV programme's I watch also run directly on PC Just download the APK for Windows on PC or Android for a Android box > so have the same sites on both No idea about the New version Android 14 box + speed > my newest box is Android 10 also have a Android 3 + a 5 + a 7 box

20 years ago had all TV via a Sat Dish, still have the 3 x dish's on the house 2 x small pointed at different Satellites back in the day + a Motorized 3 m dish, worked well. then came TV over the internet and the Satellites programs moved/stopped working. No option but buy a box Android 3 box back then. updated the box a few times..... For years have the same TV programs on the Android box + PC [Monitor is 32"] so fine....... Somehow it is easier and faster to use on PC .. maybe because better faster CPU ? better Graphics card ? far more Ram ? So can understand why some would rather use a Mini PC over a Android box..... these days can download the APK in Android or Windows or for that matter Linux or macOS

Some OAP's appear to like something bigger others just going to the local shop 2 km trip a little electric bike is just fine.. Another old guy in the Village has a Honda Trike 49cc still 20 years later still uses it to go to the local shops.

Problem is buying a loaded Kodi box, it has been Illegal for a Seller to sell a loaded Kodi Box from 2018 in many part of Europe, and illegal here in Thailand since 2020 So you are buying a Android box = legal, what Apps you put in the box is up to you......... last Android 10 box I bought here there was NOTHING in Kodi icon up to me to put what apps I wanted...... do find the old XBMC Apps was far easier to use So is it a Android Box or a Kodi Box or a Media Player ? Legal so say Kodi Box has nothing on it, yet million of people still call it a Kodi Box 😖

The other thing you can do is pick them before they are black I use a food hanging net, zipped entrance, [about 65 baht] and hang in the sun not long they will be ripe, fine if your making jam... I tend to pick them and eat off the trees every day, the ones I put in the net use to make fruit drink.. neighbour next house down in Village has one very big tree outside, the Postman stops and eats a few, odd delivery drivers will also eat some

Did you have any rain ? Most of my mulberries vanish after rain I have 11 big bushes for some years Re Birds, yes they have some, but also found lots of Ants, Rats/Mice, Lizards round black beetles also appear to enjoy them, seen often the smaller Alligators in the trees no idea if they eat them,

Some are just trying to be a bit Independent, there children and grand children have cars and leave early for work and arrive home late so there home alone for 15+ hours a day Not so sure mid 80's to well into there 90's would be safer owning a car. + some have never driven as they lived in a City most of there working life, then moved [out into the sticks] to be cared for by there children/grand children

problem is we are all getting older elderly yes but still need to buy odd things, sometimes silly item you need now = choose solely to rely on others to take you to a shop when there free, or try to get a Taxi? or use a Electric Tricycle, it is all about being or trying to be Independent when old

appears many 600 -1000W electric tricycle on the market, these days price appear to 10,000 - 15,000.. not long ago most started at 28,000 In my small Village a 80+ year old guy uses his everyday with no problems for over a year, he often goes to nearest shops + Market 2 km away I did look at one myself about 3 years ago 39,000 baht. as prices have come down a lot relooking.

NO such thing as a Kodi Box Kodi is available as a native application for Android, Linux, Mac OS X, iOS and Windows operating systems, running on most common processor architectures. I have had for many years Kodi on my 2 Windows Laptops one on XP still , the other on Win 7 + Desktop PC Win 10 Pro + on my 2 Android Boxes

I tend to look at items and save to a folder, so I can look again and again at said item before deleting or ordering Some items you need to re read many times, a simple read you can easy miss something, like the name spelling has a U instead or a A, + phones VIVO but a much cheaper phone same code and model it appears in every ways but is a VIVQ, + like the 100% genuine i114/115 and now the i116 Max Pro has nothing to do with Apple i phones. Some giveaways is 'No Brand,' on many items.. No warranty is another so how can it be a WD + on PC items check Advice IT has good prices, so if they sell for say 2,500, how is it possible that you get what you think you ordered for 500 baht.?

Yes but often use the same link on your phone you get the discount, so check item on phone and see if same price

Geckos going hungry ? I put a bit of jam on the counter within 5 mins is covered in ants, look a bit later 5 or 6 Geckos are having a good meal, put a plate in the sink same within mins full of ants then Geckos . some Geckos are a bit small so have to help them out of the sink after they have eaten the ants.. Built this house 20 years ago, find it odd it is only in the Kitchen, Ants, Rats and woodworm a plenty, never seen in main house.. Geckos and Lizards are fine

Maybe better to look at Solar Powered Automatic Sliding Gates electricity cost nothing + if there is a power cut gate will sill open and close Just a thought...... across the road from me in the Village Guy with the big house has 2 Solar Powered Automatic Sliding Gates

It is all very difficult, I had SCB App on my old phone Android 7 no problems, New phone Android 11 could not get it to work at all + a young guy in the Village tried for me still will not work, so took it into SCB Bank they tried and tried for over 1 hour still will not work.......... They had to delete the Appm off my old phone so they could install on new phone !! So 18 month later still cannot use, Another Branch of SCB also tried but totally failed, they even tried to put it back on my old phone also will not work.. Before going in to SCB Branch and them deleting it off the off phone used my old phone just to pay the bill via App... big problem and right pain, as always paid AIS + water + Electric bills via the SCB App every month, now often late paying + having to pay late fee/ charges, do not get out much these days. [no idea how to use at ATM for paying anything + nearest ATM is to far for me to walk]

Guess I am not alone, do you trust this A1 thing ? do you want all your data, files, photos, contacts, floating around somewhere in the clouds ? guess younger people trust these new things I like to have everything in hands reach that I can see and have full control over = have many HDD's, + backup of every thing + DVD"s and even CD"s When moving here over 20 years ago scanned all photo's + Important papers, many black & white me as a child + many family members [most are all dead] from over 70 years ago + 1.000s of photos over the years Family. Weddings, holidays travelled a lot, long before digital so was all film + print. on HDD + backup on another HDD + on DVD

makes sense to some, myself eyes are not what they used to be, have used 32" screen for past 10 years, I do have a Vivo smartphone + a big magnifying glass, friend uses a 12" Tablet, screen far to small even with my glasses on difficult to read text on it, so yes 32" screen at the moment is just right... Laptops very few 17" now a day + 30,000 + , so many now 13 or 14 no thank you

Use for years Advice or JIB for Computer things

Bit older FX 8200 At 74 not to bothered about future proofing AM5 M/B + CPU + Ram is far more expensive + on different web Tech reports the 5600X is a better option + better than my other option the 7500F on the AM5 set up JIB delivering tomorrow lunch time Gigabyte B550 MB + Ryzen 5600X + Kingston Fury Beast Ram.. and the new thing never seen/used before SSD M.2 PCIe WD 500 GB

Building a new desktop > use my PSU or buy new? I have a THERMALTAKE 750W 80 PLUS GOLD Power supply in my old desktop, I bought and installed 3 years ago, [so still under Warrantee] just thinking maybe could use this in a new build ? thinking of the Ryzen 5600X, which would be a big ? upgrade to my old FX CPU built before the big Floods. Likewise use my 2 year old GIGABYTE RADEON RX 6400 low profile 4 GB Graphics Card ?

Trying to have a sort out + take items to the recycle place ... things that no longer work get taken upstairs to a spare bedroom, so time for a clear out.. amazing what is up there, speakers, CD player x 2 many old computer parts form 20 years ago. old rice cooker, electric oven, Microwave all donkey ears old This fan is as it were New, so is still in that bedroom.... Just find it odd that Home Pro themselves + different fan repair shops could not find any fault, OK non of them charged anything, but it was still the same.. Replaced many capacitors in different fans over the years..

Yes > but this fan has had No use other than the repair 3 different shops, it has been covered in one of the bedrooms and looks like brand new.. it was well over 2,000 baht [if I remember 2,600 ?] Have lots of fans, [12 in daily use] slowly replacing all with Sharp, as they appear strong and well made

Bought years ago from Home pro like this one https://www.homepro.co.th/p/1103830?lang=en Has never worked correct, Home Pro looked at it while still under warrantee [ maybe 10 years ago] = still the same Have taken it to 2 different repair shops = still the same.. So problem = switch on fan works on 1, 2 and 3 but all are the same speed + not as fast as a 16" leave it on for 1 hour = the casing is red hot, to hot to touch.. Anyone have any idea what is wrong or how to fix ?
