The brand is not your problem here, they sell millions of units per year. Either it's a dud or they broke it.

Thai Tourism Grapples with Declining Chinese Visitors
ukrules replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Chinese tourists will come when instructed to do so by their lords and masters. They are wielded as a weapon. Some Uyghur deportations here, an unofficial police station somewhere else and before you know it the flood gates are opened again. But only once they bend the knee and provide whatever it is that's being demanded will the tourists flow. -
British Embassy Faces Rising Consular Case Demands in Thailand

I didn't realise they still had a consular services section, from what I heard they closed it down years ago - it's all spies, police and diplomats. -
Media Players need to buy Codec to watch???
ukrules replied to JeffersLos's topic in IT and Computers
This one's been around for so long I can't even remember when they first launched it - 20+ years ago though! The old k-lite codec pack, still going after all these years, of course they update it along the way. -
British Retirees Escape Thai Jail After Violent Land Dispute

It is unusual for the victim to not have the name published in a small time case like this. Also where are the photos of the victims pointing to the scene of the crime -
British Retirees Escape Thai Jail After Violent Land Dispute
ukrules replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
So what, they clearly leased it or something similar. I have a couple of land leases myself, it's no biggie. By the time those 30 years are up I'll likely have moved on or really moved on.- 97 replies

If the K-lite codec pack doesn't work with that player then give up and change player. -
Media Players need to buy Codec to watch???
ukrules replied to JeffersLos's topic in IT and Computers
That's a pain, it may be restricted to certain Microsoft devices like Surface Pro versions or something. There's one old but tested way to do it - the K-lite codec pack - always did the job going back a long time and it seems to still be around Whether it will work with this specific player nor not is anyones guess but it's definitely worth a shot - this could solve your issue in minutes Find it here : https://www.codecguide.com/download_kl.htm -
Media Players need to buy Codec to watch???
ukrules replied to JeffersLos's topic in IT and Computers
From ChatGPT - the codec is free if you want it for free The issue is 100% related to HEVC / H.265 usage in the file which is why it works just fine in VLC which contains the codec and not in the others - they don't want to license it for commercial use - but it is freely available. The link to get the codec is : https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/hevc-video-extensions-from-device-manufacturer/9N4WGH0Z6VHQ -
I want to make things extremely simple for proving non tax residence in any future year and also planning it so I an refer back to my passport. I know you can apply to immigration to get some kind of report of entry and exit dates but this is my own personal record, scanned and backed up on my local computer and wherever I keep copies of such backups. I've never filled an 'extra large' passport in all my years traveling so not worried about that.

Has Trump Caused The Crypto Bubble To Go BANG!

Yes, buying at all time highs is often not the wisest move. -
Has Trump Caused The Crypto Bubble To Go BANG!
ukrules replied to Cardano's topic in Political Soapbox
Lower prices encourage those who sold at higher prices like the end of last year for example to repurchase for the next round of 'up up up' So lower prices create more demand and there are people who trade this stuff 24/7. I rarely trade it at all but when I do I like to sell at higher prices and then sit patiently waiting for increasingly longer periods of time before rebuying. If the price continues to go up while I'm waiting - then so what - I've already made my money - it will fall back eventually and it will be time to rebuy. I've been at this for a very long time, more than a decade -
Has Trump Caused The Crypto Bubble To Go BANG!
ukrules replied to Cardano's topic in Political Soapbox
So what? It goes up one year and down another year. If you look at long term charts you can see that there is an 'aberration' or deviation which started in the election week, the prices went up a lot since then and now it appears to be falling back towards the previous range which lasted for a great deal of last year. I won't be surprised if we're back under $70k once the hype has worn off with a repeat of 'massive increases' much later in the year. For now I'm all cash and have been for some time. -

What if it doesn't go wrong and in fact turns out really well? -
Then that very department should be investigated because who could possibly issue an official yet unlawful land title except for the department of land. The government department and those who supervise its operation should be made to pay for this - ultimately the tax payer and government of the day is responsible for actions under their regime - who was running the country at the time this happened? Be it one rogue official, etc - someone on the corrupt side of things needs to pay up for being incompetent in supervising government officials unless it proves to be a simple faked document - which I'm pretty sure it's not as these are issued only at government offices and anyone making such a large purchase would surely verify everything down to the last centimeter during their due dilligence. There seems to be a very long history of corruption of employees being denied as the responsibility of the institution which they work for, be it some government department or a bank, etc. Why is it taking 10 years to sort this out? I have a very good idea why - nobody wants to take responsibility for the obvious.

The more you pay the more you get as with most things. For anything related to video it's generally down the the GPU and not so much the CPU

Selling my Permanent Visa from EliteCard
ukrules replied to RedJam's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I just extended my existing membership to the 20 year option, when I signed up there were 5 year and 20 year options. In the end I decided to stay longer term so got another 5 year and then the extra 15 years - total 1.5 million Baht. The lifetime option had long gone by the time I came along and I had not heard of it until the 5 year option came along. Still I'm all set until 2040 which will do me and it is very flexible especially if you do even a little bit of travel each year - even if you leave the country just once per year with the 1 year stamps you never need to extend in country but of course you still need to do the 90 day reports if you're in country more than 90 days. If you only stay for around 90 days then you don't even need to bother with them. Right now I'm traveling every 3 months so no need - just arrive and leave - never an issue. -
Musk Claims Social Security is a Ponzi Scheme!
ukrules replied to FriscoKid's topic in Political Soapbox
Both of the above are ponzi type schemes. It's the same in many countries. The collected tax is used to pay the current recipients. Now if you're capable of slightly advanced thinking you will realise that new payments are required to pay older recipients who used to pay into the system. Just like with a ponzi where new investors fund the payments to old investors. Many people will not see this connection. The UK works exactly the same as I'm sure do all the other countries with large socialised pensions and health systems. There is generally no huge fund earning massive amounts of profit every year saved up to pay for the future - it's all squandered on the whim of whatever leader is running the country at the time. So the ponzi analogy is correct in this case. -
What excites you the most about Thailand?

Nothing, it's just a land mass, nothing more. It used to be more useful than it currently is due to tax regulations. -
