Tried VLC twice , didn't like it. I use KMPlayer . I like how I can change the size of the subs , audio sync, with just some shortcuts on the keyboard. One click to full size and back. MPC-BE is an option . But I must say that with a faster 4k screen , in many recent uploads in 264 and 265 , movement in video's is less smooth.

The hover over engages the leftside widget screen , I think ( it's been more than a month that I disabled it ). I did the ultimate : No widgets , not just hide them , but no news feeds loading in the background using my internet connection. Like I said , I did this right after I bought the computer , so I don't remember, but I kept this link: Because when do a clean install , I'll need to do it again. Microsoft said that in the future they will allow 3rd party widgets , not just their cr_p and MSN feeds . But even then I don't want it.

I did it the day after , so through some register setting :How to Remove Bing Chat “Discover” Button in Microsoft Edge (howtogeek.com)

Lots of truth in there , for me that is. Now I must say that I had (still have) XP media center edition , which is much nicer looking than plain XP.

The trouble with using third party apps to "mold" windows to your liking , like your "Total Commander " or changing the look of W 11 , is that W11 is a OS that is not finished . With every update , if anything goes wrong , you wonder whether it is one of these changer apps or something more invasive as an other file explore.

Yes cortana and teams and others I already forget , I unnstalled them quickly. Too often the nagging about making edge the default browser. Now I do like edge , even with the endless tweaks for more privacy, but I refuse to put it as default . Compare W11 Photo (viewer) with the same picture in paint , a media player , ... and the photo viewer's colours are off . How to use that to make changes when the colours are not real ? I just came from XP , so scrolling without selecting window , is new for me. Last computer's battery , I could take out , but now they are inside so limiting charging via software is great. What I don't like is that when you move or copy files to another window/folder , it automaticly orders them . The copy process is weird too although I like that I can see the speed and a graph.

Only for people with a microsoft account , I hope. I don't have one. It was already a pain to get rid of the widgets and the ads/news in start menu and in edge. Everytime they get out something new , I have to search to get rid of it , like the big B (bing) in edge. So much useless stuff like onedrive, clipchamp , windows games which is full of ads > uninstall. Some of the games in XP work in W11 (but without sounds) , XP calculator is better than the ugly W11 one. Snipping tool had a bug , I use the office 2003 office picture manager ... still works in W11. After what , 2 /3 decades of windows , you still need a third party media player ? Movies & TV or the Media player s_ck. WMP legacy is doable. What I do like is scrolling in a window without the need to select it. Setting battery levels to start and stop charging. But those things may have been in other versions too.

12 years in Phrae , until late 2019 we had to go to NAN immigration and no home visits . Now 3+ years Phrae immigration office with one home visit last year (or the year before , I forget). Nice folks . No changes at my renewal in sept 22 . Did he have to send the pictures to I.O. ? Or show them on his phone or camera ?

And I did find woke Bill Gates' only contribution to w11:

I've recently downgraded from WinXP to a new computer with W11, it is terrible and ugly. W11 is like a renovation of an old house , adding "new" things , that aren't new at all. A window is now a piece of white "paper" with some lines on and some text. Productivity is bad for me. It is a bloaded OS . I come from an 5400 rpm HD with 2GB of 667 Mhz DDR2 and a dual core CPU maxed out at 2,16 Ghz to an fast SSD , 16 GB 4800 Mhz DDR5 and 14 cores , and XP feels snappier than W11. At least it doesn't look as childish as W10 with those tiles. 12 years without updates in XP went great , now I have to keep an eye open for all the sh_tty updates. Privacy is terrible , so many settings to keep some privacy , and still a lot goes to microsoft .

So that is for recycling , not a sort of fixed deposit to turn them in so they get re-used by the beer company ? Like in europe you turn them in , get your money back or a token that you can use at the checkout of the supermarket . The place I stay at gives Singha water bottles and the empties go back and are re-used. You can clearly see that on the bottles , they are not new. If it is only to be recycled , what a waste and pretty expensive. Beer itself is already so expensive . In Aluminium cans even more expensive. Maybe switch to 1,5 liter plastic bottles like softdrinks .

These are heavy glass bottles from Singha , Leo and others. I never seen people with empties giving them back at the supermarket. So that is for a 600ml beer around 53 B , 10 B for the beer , 10 B for the glass to throw away ? And the rest is tax , transport and profit ? Thanks.

I do wonder about the cheap vitamins I buy on lazada . A good review means nothing . How can you review something without a lab test . Names on those hard/thick plastic bottles are easy to fake. How do you know your D3 , B12 , .... are working ?

Maybe already mentioned but you can wire it more easily from the nearby overhead light. Always on and no wire going to the dashboard .

Can we drive to Nan without the covid control post near Wiang Sa ? Love to drive the 101 to Nan (if they are working on it) and walk around . It's nicer than my city. But now with our own immi office and covid , not eager to go.

So 1740 W from 9 x 350W panels at midday in sunny thailand ? I wonder how they will ever deliver the promised 350. You bought polycrystalline , would mono be better ? Why do some of your panels look different ? Please give a link to the latest battery buy of 3030B.

^ No the link wasn't always there . I didn't get the authentification email , only the security allert. Now after all these weeks of trying , I get the email with link (in thai, and not overlooked , google translated) . There was no resend to hit , like the pics in the opening post. Clicking the "another verify method" button a number of times , blocked me from even accessing the lazada site. You can register at lazada with only an email address , but they require a phone number to fill in but is not used. I give the number of the cleaning lady here . Delivery calls her to tell that they are coming , she usually warns me but I follow the package on the delivery sites.

HeHe ! I can log in to lazada again ! Nothing changed on my side so it was all them. Now the authentification email has changed , not a number you have to fill in , but a link and then another "allow" and I'm in. Time to spend some money again.

In august 2020 when the gold price was 30.000 THB , Thai's were selling their gold. I thought stupid , and didn't sell. Gold fell back a lot of course. Now gold is there again ( and more in sh-tty euro) , but I don't hear the Thais selling while I want to .... I guess Thais are better at it than I and listen to them ? Gold and defence company stocks ? As soon as there is a stop of the conflict , gold will tumble again.

Skype is not a phone , and skype doesn't work for me since about 6 or 7 years or so.

Ah you too . I have set up another account , but after the sign up , I can't log in to that new account. Log in worked fine for 2 months , even with older OS and browsers and email , no phone . Now I'm f....ed because they have new security software ...

Lazada is NOT a bank or so where absolute security is needed. I use a computer , it should not be needed to have a phone to log in. Even if I had a phone , you have to log in to change the authentication method ... but I can't log in.

Why would incognito mode work ? If they can't put login cookie , you can't log in. The browsers that work with lazada don't have incognito. Lazada doesn't suc- , I like how they suggest other items , which shopee doesn't. Well lazada sux a little for not letting me log in.

I posted before : I don't have a phone. If shopee is a one time deal , then I can ask the cleaning lady for the code. But not everytime I want to log in. Besides explaining it on the phone in a different language in not good for me.

Ah BritmanToo , I like what you did there with the solar panels, and your previous avatar pic , but no , I don't do social media ! Facebook ? YUK !
