  1. I would be very careful buying any high tech from China.... safer to spend a little bit more and buy from a reputable supplier like, JIB or InvadeIT
  2. Nothing secret here. For the network backbone I'm using TP-LINK 5-Port 10G Desktop Switch (TL-SX105) https://www.invadeit.co.th/product/wired-networking/tp-link/5-port-10g-desktop-switch-tl-sx105-p057291/ The WiFi router is Asus AX6000 Dual Band WiFi 6 Router (RT-AX89X), which has 10Gbps port https://www.invadeit.co.th/product/wireless-networking/asus/ax6000-dual-band-wifi-6-router-rt-ax89x-p055631/ For the PC's, they have 10Gbps ethernet either build in the MoBo (Asus ProArt Z790-CREATOR WiFi) or use TP-LINK TX401 10 Gigabit PCI Express Network Adapter https://www.invadeit.co.th/product/wired-networking/tp-link/tx401-10-gigabit-pci-express-network-adapter-p057243/ Internet connection is 500/1000 Mbps fiber supplied by TOT. My main usage is interaction between the home PC's, that's why I chose high bandwidth for the backbone. I have 4 main PC's, plus generally run 2-4 Windows and Linux instances in Virtual on the main rig, plus there are Laptops, phones, tablets and such minor junk connecting through the WiFi.
  3. 750W should be plenty for the CPU and GPU you're mentioning. Minimum PSU recommendation for RX6400 is 350W and the CPU TDP is 65W. I doubt you would go much over 500W with full utilization.
  4. 10Gbps is my domestic ethernet backbone. My internet connection is more normal 1Gbps fiber.
  5. I agree with you on that KH. Never hurts to have extra storage/memory. I've known guys that buy smallest (cheapest) amount and later complain that their rig is so slow and runs out of space. I have 23TB of storage on my main rig, excluding the system drive, and it's all 70%+ utilized. There is another 25TB on a NAS. My home network backbone is all on 10Gbps, for 4 computers plus all the other gunk that connects through the WiFi. Some people just use a laptop for browsing internet and don't comprehend what you would need that extra computing power for. All dick extenders in their mind. But I do like to run my nuclear simulations in real time...55555
  6. I feel with you Gottfrid. I have a i9-13900KF rig with 64GB DDR5 RAM. Was thinking of upgrading to 128GB RAM, before the compatible modules disappear from the market. Kind of future proof my kit. You might never know when you might want to run that nuclear explosion simulation in real time.... 555 Besides, what would be the requirement for the games released next year? But seriously, what really pisses me off is that MS has not implemented the Intel Thread Director support in Windows 10. Don't want to upgrade to Win11. I'm running Win11 in Virtual, and do not like is a bit.
  7. Hate to piss on your party, but sooner or later (most probably sooner) you'll have to replace your batteries, and at some point your solar panels. That's gonna take a big toll on the environment to recycle them.... but why should you care? You're green, right?
  8. My point exactly, but it was not a power plant.
  9. The SMR's are generally a closed design. There is no re-fueling locally as in a a very large NPP's. Once the fuel is depleted (20-30 years cycle) the whole reactor module goes back to the plant to be recycled and/or refueled.
  10. You know nothing about the requirements for building and commissioning a NPP. There are though inspections throughout the building process and no fissile material will be available unless the inspectors are satisfied. That's why generally big NPP projects are delayed and over budget. In any case, if Thailand would build a >1TWe NPP, and not go for SMR, it would most probably be China that builds and supplies the fuel. Just like Hinkley in UK. China would most probably insist that they run the plant too. So your humorous musings, are just that...
  11. Obviously, you are trying to take the piss, since Chernobyl was a faulty design operated outside it's limits, and Fukushima problem was location and partly design. I mean, who would place a NPP in an area known for tsunamis and earthquakes? Must have been some vested personal interests involvement.
  12. What I'm trying to say, is that China is not a modern developed nation. And definitely not a respectable member of the world community.
  13. Right, fusion. Great, except that it always have been 30 years away since I started to follow the development thermonuclear energy in the 70's. We are now in 2024, and it still is 30+ years away from commercial deployment, or so the scientists say.
  14. Hmmm, must have missed that in the news... any links?
  15. Obviously you don't know much about SMR and Gen IV reactor designs. The SMR's are closed designs, no serviceable parts inside. The only items requiring maintenance are external components, like steam generator or electric generators. Parts that Thai engineers already service in the existing oil and gas powered power plants. Seems they are doing pretty well in that area. Yes, we do experience blackouts, but that is in the distribution, not generation part.
  16. Oh, I see that uneducated ignorance is stamping confused emojis again.
  17. Except the fact that it's the superrich that make the rules in this country.
  18. As stated earlier, SMR's that Thailand is interested in deploying, would not be manufactured in Thailand, and the civil infrastructure is no more complex than building a high rise condo block. We haven't had any high rises falling over yet, have we? Heck, putting an underground in Bangkok's swampy soil is far bigger engineering challenge than deploying an SMR. You didn't read my previous post. The SMR's do not require any constant operation like the big NPP's do. Plug'n'play and fully automatic, with minimal maintenance requirement.
  19. Why not? Currently, they operate gas fueled power plants. We haven't heard of any incidents there. IMO, the chemical plant complex in Map Ta Put is far more dangerous than a NPP.
  20. It's already been discussed in another post that Thailand would be interested in deploying SMR's. They would not be build in Thailand and have no immediate operational requirements. Kind of plug'n'play. I would definitely trust Thailand to deploy SMR's safely. If need be, I would build my house next to one.
  21. What is this BS.... Shouldn't they apologize to the foreigners they beat up?
  22. 972 days sounds so dramatic, when if fact it's just over 2.5 years... But I agree, if you gonna stay here illegally, don't do anything stupid.
  23. If the both sides use the nukes, there will be no safe place on the planet to hide. MAD will see to that. Just see what happened when super volcano Mount Toba (now Toba Lake on Sumatra) exploded 70,000 years ago. It wiped out almost 90% of all of life on the planet and the humanity had to start all over. The safest place then seem to have been Afrika. So, yeah, we all seem to share the same genome with those few thousands of African mothers.
  24. Oh, get yourself educated! There were over 3900 tons of high-explosive and incendiary bombs dropped on Dresden. In the case of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, it took only one device (each) to flatten several square kilometers of the city center and kill thousands of people for several years after the bombings. There is plenty of historical film and photos, both US and Japanese to educate yourself.
