  1. My wife never bothered to change her family name to mine. Our 18 year son however has my family name.
  2. Mine went from 4300b to just over 4900 last month.
  3. It is the pent up frustration. I am 78 and 12 days ago I fell onto my right forearm and my weedwhacker and bashed my ribs as a bonus. My wife took me to the hospital where I was X-rayed (a possible minor fracture of my elbow). but in the end not. I ended up with a bottom half plastered cast and an elastic bandage. I dumped the cast at the weekend and started leaving the bandage off today. However, while I can sort of hold things in my right hand, such as a knife, I cannot cut or even spread butter on a roll, let alone cut the roll. I have to ask my wife or son to help with something as simple as that. It gets easier every day but I needed my wife to help me the last 2 days to get the paperwork sorted out for my marriage visa extension, all 30 pages of it, doubled of course as the local office has to have a copy plus a copy for the regional office in Chiang Mai. 9
  4. Not just you, but many of us. We all bring different skills in our lives with us, and many like me, learn from experience, usually the hard way, and from the help of others on the forums.
  5. What I ended up doing was running Opera to get the URL then go to Chrome and open it there. Open a new folder if required, then add the bookmark. The last line stays. You try working and not using your normal hand and typing with one finger. Everything takes 4 or 5 times as long and is very very frustrating, especially going back to correct typing errors.
  6. He will probably pay 'extra' and get special food sent in for himself only.
  7. I have finally managed to renew my current bookmarks one at a time from my Opera browser back to Chrome. What a PITA doing it left handed and one fingered. As soon as I opened ASEAN now I ran into an add. I installed Ad-blocker nd no more adds.
  8. In Kamphaeng Phet province masks are still required in most hospitals and banks, some fresh markets but not many other places. I carry a mask ad will wear it if requested but not otherwise. My wife wears a mask in most places.
  9. A problem I have is that my tablet which is on the same extender shows up all the time, but the hard drives don't. Yet if I plug any hard drive into a different extender into a different port, it shows up as working and available.
  10. Actually Windows Explorer is causing a ping pong effect which is triggering a notification that the last USB device was not recognised. I don't use IE at all, and the notification happens whether I am browsing or not.
  11. I am using the Opera browser and have done for a year or so. Perhaps I should go back to Firefox which is what I used before.
  12. After some jiggery pokery I managed to hook each external drive at a time to the pc using a different extender in the same USB slot and they worked. I hooked them back onto my new extender and they don't show up. I think that I will stop here tonight and try again tomorrow. It is such a PITA only working one handed and trying to get USB plugs into the sockets without equal pressure from both hands.
  13. Is it possible to block Windows Explorer and still use Windows 10 normally? I use a 4 port USB extender, and WE keeps dropping it out then putting it back again. I HATE Windows fracking 10 and Windows Explorer. I buggered my right arm up a week so I am working left handed and typing with 1 finger, and it is very frustrating.
