  1. Have you installed any wondershare apps on your computer? Just google .. "Wondeshare malware"
  2. Yes, kind of weird - Every application (I think they did in Hat Yai, for sure in Khon Kaen) they write the receipt 1900B and then they send the wife to make two copies which are attached to the sets of paperwork. The first year at KKC the immigration, we gave him 2000B, he sent my wife copy machine and then on her return mumbled something about 100B for a special form, must have been a new invisible form, the following year, we took the exact money.
  3. I posted something along these lines in another thread. I would agree, but Its been so long since I went to a bar. When I was a young single guy living in BKK, I would watch the girls leave the cheap apartment blocks in my soi, and I would watch them all jump out of returning taxis at 2.00 am. I never really paid bar fines, they just told me to wait around at the end of soi cowboy and we would go for dinner after the bars kicked out, from what I saw, lots of girls didn't get customers. I had a few girls numbers and would call them, most were available at a drop of a hat. Obviously there must be girls that service multiple western customers / locals / policemen daily - but on the whole, I think most aren't so busy, (but I know nothing of the Pattaya scene) and often too lazy to maximize their time.
  4. Yes, tbh, I never do it myself, I get the tech to do it when they run the fibre cable in - not that I can't, it's just if it doesnt work, then I'm not left scratching my head. Which is what happened when I moved to Issan, I needed the VLAN number, which I had never encountered before. ETS: 3BB offer a ONT, which is a small box, that replaces a router in bridge mode. Much neater and a little faster. You just have to keep on asking for one.
  5. Enter your PPoE credentials into your second router, connect your secondary router to your 3BB router, put your 3BB router in to bridge mode.
  6. You first need to get your DVD from your disc (I presume they are DVD and not CD) DVD Decrypter used to be the go to for windows, but seems to be depreciated, WinX DVD Ripper seems to be a free replacement. This will give you either two files (Video_TS) or an ISO disc image, on your computer HDD, you can play those on your computer, but they will be large - either around 5GB or 9GB depending upon the original disc size. You then need to compress those using Handbrake .. https://handbrake.fr Here is a tutorial https://www.rapidseedbox.com/blog/guide-to-mastering-handbrake There are other compression software available, but handbrake is one of the most popular, its free. This will give you a file that you can play on your TV, maybe something around 1.5-2GB for a movie. Which will be playable on your TV, you can do it again for your Phone, but there are much easier ways to stream to your phone. TBH - To save yourself the trouble, you are better just throwing the 540 DVDs away and downloading 1080P HD rips from a torrent site where someone has already taken the time to compress them already.
  7. Like what films / movies ? Home movies? Hollywood movies / DVD? CD / VCD? You might want to compress them first with handbrake - it's not difficult. Then they will fit on a MC.
  8. AppleTV+ is the subscription service. Apple TV is a black box. And yes, you can get MLS. you can get a free trial and then 199B a month thereafter. There is an app for most TV OS and I think your android box.
  9. I think it’s one of the biggest scams at the moment being posted across all Thai fb groups at the moment. It’s not possible and these people are taking a fair few people for a ride. I will try and find a cutting from another group.
  10. Yes, there’s seem to be a quite a few less clothing stalls in our local in one area - we never shopped there, so makes no difference but you can see the vacant lots, the power points in the floor, grime and broken tiles - it gives the appearance of going downhill, which it may well be.
  11. Good call - a pretty slick, futuristic spy series - I just watched the first two.
  12. It’s a blue drive - they are the budget line - as @OneMoreFarang mentions, there are advantages to using “correct drive” for the job, NAS drives are designed to be used 24/7 they have features like less aggressive head parking, better vibration dampening, better heat resistance due to better and more expensive build quality. I don’t know, tbh, could be a load of marketing bully. I have 4x 4TB wd red that I have used in servers for 8+ years now, all OK. Along with another 10 drives I’m running at home used to replace the originals. I can’t comment on the budget line, I have no experience.
  13. Up to you really. I wasnt really thinking about oomph, I just prefer to keep routing duties in a separate box, I lost a day when I was running a router in VM and the software went down (no backup) I had trouble redownloading and reinstalling, since then I run it on a separate unit, but each to their own, I just lost my confidence. @Mickeymaus I was just checking the link to JIB, i think red drives either seafarers/wd or whoever, would be better suited, but you are correct, the price for a 4TB is pretty good at the moment, about 1K THB / TB. Not so bad.
  14. Try this https://jellyfin.org Very easy to setup You can use Sonarr / Radarr and then use something like requestrr to allow your family to add. You can also stream music using jellyfin, but Navidrome might be of interest.
  15. Apparently, the person who was telling me about SH drives said that a drive will either run for a very long time or fail within the first couple of weeks / months. I have 4x WD Red 4TB drives I bought about 8 years ago, still whirring away in servers in this heat. If you are just using them for a media server, why not? if the drive fails then you just let the automated software just re-DL the files for you.
  16. If you are just building a media server, then 5400 are OK. If you aren't using the drives to store precious files then you could use 2nd hand drives, I hear they have jumped a little in price, but still better value than buying new. I think you can find them on shoppee. If buying new then 4TB wasn't the best value, you might want to try a couple of bigger drives for TB:THB ratio. Not too sure what you are saying about 50/50 of the drive, if you are a after some kind of backup, you can just mirror the drive. Im not a lover of using your server to route your traffic, are you thinking of PFsense or Opensense? I would run that on a separate passive computer. If you are using an old machine, you aren't using RAID or anything fancy, check out CasaOS, I noticed the App Store contains a lot more software now - easy to set up and maintain. You can use duplicati, to mirror your drives.
  17. I sold two bikes a couple of months back .. no need for a certificate of residence. I did as the first post, two forms from the DLT, and handed him the green books - I did however give him a copy of my passport, visa sticker, entry stamp and current extension and told the buyer, if there was a problem to come back. I printed an invoice to cover my own back. I never heard from the buyer again. I never had a certificate of residence from a westerner when I have transferred a bike to my name either. I gather that each DLT is different, but I think generally (not in all cases or offices), getting a certificate of residence to sell a bike is a bit of a perpetuated myth. You know when you ask at a government office, and ask a direct question and they say "yes" and then you double check with a second question and the answer is also "yess" - however, if you don't have the necessary paper and you don't ask the question, then there isn't a problem.
  18. Yes - Not a lot to see. We rent a house with a zinc roof carport, it pops during the daytime. I had also read reports from Thai self builders about squeaking noises as the sheets expanded on a hot day and the foam rubbed together. The sheets are already up and fitted to the garage (just 5mm insulation), and no pops as our rental. The PU foam backed sheets are sealed in a foil, not as I was expecting, I was expecting bare foam to be rubbing together to make the squeaking sound.
  19. We have been speaking to one company in Korat, they came out to measure last week and provided a design. A fair few expats recommend the quality, and the owner / designer is really cool. I am always happy that he understands my Thai and he understands the brief. I think better quality than anything you could buy from the store, at a price that's not out of the ball park. https://www.teeraphatfurniture.com/?mibextid=ykz3hl Obviously these guys are in Issan, but give them a call to see if they can help.
  20. The question is "How do you install a VPN on a 3BB router" - the answer is, you cant - Exactly. so I suggested running a cheap and uncomplicated router to setup a secondary wifi network running an openVPN confiig and connect their TV to this network. If you run a secondary network then it doesn't matter what you run your IPTV app on. What is your question? I am not a lover of systemwide VPN, and secondly, I do not like to use proprietary software provided by a VPN provider.
  21. They run their IPTV client on the whatever they use, android TV box, smart TV and connect to the dedicated wifi network.
  22. Well - Result. As I said, I just put the date presuming my visa would be approved, by changing my current expiry date to 2024. It was approved yesterday, next report July.
  23. First episode of a new season of The Curse aired last night - I wasn't a lover of the first series, considering the actors from People just do nothing and King Gary. Might be worth a look-see. I wish King Gary would make a return.
  24. Cheapest and easiest 1, https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-mt300n-v2/ 2. Get your openVPN key and credentials from your VPN provider. 3. Wire the mango router into your 3BB router, set up a wifi network .. then connect your TV to that wifi. The router already has the software, it's pretty intuitive. It's not so expensive, maybe 1000B, easily enough RAM for IPTV. I have one that I use for testing.
  25. Cheers for the bump. I was sure it would have come up before, it's a fundamental flaw in what is, an excellent system. Let's see if and when it gets rejected .. its not actually an issue to drop the wife off to immigration and let her sort it, KKC immigration are pretty efficient, there is never a queue.
