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 .

Do you get money back from those 600 ml glass beer bottles ?
FlorC replied to FlorC's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
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 . -
Police crackdown on a gang selling of fake health products online
FlorC replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
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 .

Nan Expected to Attract Over 700,000 Visitors This Year: TAT
FlorC replied to webfact's topic in Chiang Rai News
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. -
The start of my new 'Off grid' Solar install.
FlorC replied to BritManToo's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
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 !
-
Shopee only lets me sign up with a cellphone number. Is this a one time thing , or do you need a cellphone every time thereafter to log in ?
-
My connection is fine. After continued retrying (10x) , lazada cut me out .
-
The browsers that I used for 2 months , doesn't have add-ons. TV or now aseannow is their problem. Of my 4 browsers , opening this website changes. My oldest can open TV-aseannow again (but without pictures or log in) , after not being able to do so for years.
-
Tried that before , the suggestion was on the other threads. Do the shuffle too many times and :We have detected unusual traffic from your network, please try again later..... The email option with SEND doesn't show.
-
A phone is not an option. Somewhat good news that Shopee has COD ... if that site works.
-
Yes i've seen : https://aseannow.com/topic/1187334-lazada-login-problem/ And the recent : https://aseannow.com/topic/1248219-lazada-problem/ and one from 2019 that I can't find anymore. All the suggestions don't work. I've been using Lazada for 2 month now , no problem. Since 2 /3 days , It changed : I get these screens in a loop. Security allerts come to my mail address, but no verification code. Lazada has no email , only a chat bot AFTER you log in. I can make a new sign up ( with different email address ) , to try the chat , but it is useless. Logging in with the new address = same loop as the old one. I have no phone to call them , and it is too hard to explain anyway. For a one time purchase an alias email address that yahoo let you make is a way around it , but you can't log in to check anything. The 2 last Kerry deliveries did not show on https://th.kerryexpress.com/en/track/ like they always do , I had to log in at Lazada to see the progress. While I opposed sites like Lazada , covid forced me to use them ... and i'm glad I did. I really blows that I can't use it anymore. Sick and tired to hear the mai-mee or pay way too much in local stores. COD is a godsent for people without credit card and don't want to bend over to the bank costs. So I look at Shopee , and they have much of the same at near same prices, but their payment options translated by google translate is not christal clear about COD. I haven't made an account there , because , no COD , not want. Although the site works better in my browser , Lazada gives better information. Better to have access to Lazada again . The pics : First the usual , click , but than the new one with a timer and it does nothing. Only thing to click is : another verify method , which goes back to the first pic. And then there is this cr_p : I click to open a couple of Aseannow links from the newsletter and I get "blocked. Opening it in another browser , works ...til more than a couple of tabs.

The start of my new 'Off grid' Solar install.
FlorC replied to BritManToo's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
Must be quite some big filter to filter high frequencies out of an inverter that delivers 10's of amps at 230 V. -
The start of my new 'Off grid' Solar install.
FlorC replied to BritManToo's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
Have you checked the claim it is a pure sine inverter ? Maybe I don't know enough of electronics , but going from DC to an AC sine , must have some serious dissipation loss. -
No more UK trips planned with new travel rules.
FlorC replied to Scouse123's topic in UK & Europe Topics and Events
Cold , yeah , but at least the air is much cleaner in europe. Not looking forward to spend the next 5 months in very bad PM2,5 air .
