How obvious could that be, really. Well done indeed! Veered off-topic, inevitably. To laundromat or not laundromat, that is the question—for @The Hammer2021, who hijacked the topic and who really thinks he’s discussing that. I, on the other hand, ain't discussing it but rather having a laugh at his ignorant assumptions and any residuals that may spin off. So IF you were discussing, you’d need to address for him WHY you’re wasting time doing your own laundry, including the “women’s work.” Well, it seems you’re all clean, ironed, and starched now and have hung yourself up in the closet. I’ll try to remember to salute if I see you out on a Pattaya soi.????

It's often said that Pattaya's not Thailand.???? Some truth to that, though not nearly as much as commonly believed.

Actually it's amazing how little Thais care about the doings of farangs and even how little they notice things around them. If they thought about it at all, they'd just wonder why a rich person such as yourself wouldn't pay to save yourself any effort, as they themselves would if rich. "Like" wouldn't enter into it.

Cotton, not really. Wear them out into the Pattaya sauna and the wrinkles soon steam themselves out from within. I sometimes ranger roll some cotton shirts for packing or saving space in my drawer; it does cut down on wrinkles. Many of our members are too delicate and organic to wear anything but pure cotton next to their sensitive skin. I wear mostly fitted t-shirts with at least some polyester for give. Or, quick-dry breathable athletic shirts, great for gym or travel. They hardly wrinkle, if at all. I throw them into a bag directly from the dryer and then directly into a drawer.???? He.ll yeah. As for linen, level up your whole coolness factor simply by adopting the retro 80s "crumpled cockroach" look. Expect deep discounts on the bar fines thereafter.

It ain't happenin' for you, man. Guess it was all that early training, not easy to overcome. Reminds me of an old girlfriend from Colombia relating a Colombian joke that "gringos are buried standing up."

True, if that's all it was. And if so, why would you worry? The source code for both Linux and GnuPG is of course public. As is that for Keepass, Truecrypt, and Veracrypt.

Why? Residual memory of suckin' up to a Boss? Expecting an audience w/ the Queen of Soi 6? That would be your own spin on things. Maybe back in the UK you had to sit there lest some chav steal your clothes. And sell them. Few sit and wait on their laundry to finish, not even Thais. So half the machines are sitting there waiting for the damp laundry to be removed. I walk over to a local shop, buy a cold Singha, and then surf and read on my tablet. And my time is just as important as your time, though perhaps better allocated. Ignorant stereotype. In the shop near my place the husband is often seen ironing while the wife sorts thru clothes, puts them in and out of the machines, folds, keeps track, and deals with customers. Well, you really just got your knickers all in a twist over this ironin’ thang. Real Men™ don’t need no ironin’, bro’. Creases like razors. LOL. In Pattaya? Look like a stupid tourist FOB? Pattaya expects you to stay ready to get down & dirty without fussing about your pants creases or coiffed hair, assuming you have any of the latter. Word: stay wrinkled. Mostly a fantasy, shared by few other posters. Walking? Possibly, but most drive cars or ride motorbikes. Sort? Real Men™ don’t need no sortin’, either. Or foldin’. WOT??? That's right. HOT-AIR dryer, up 2 u. Want COLD, get this: press the COLD button. Again: you don’t sit there, or if you do, you got your beer, tablet, laptop, or phone and take the opportunity to catch up on a few things or wimmin. Again, no ironing; good gawd, get over it. Remember: stay wrinkled. You may be in Pattaya, but you ain’t of Pattaya yet. Give it a few more years.???? I guess I save B300-400, but I also enjoy being self-reliant, same as I do with Immigration.

Then you'd have failed the minimal cognitive fitness test required to enter the Kingdom. You'd need to catch the next flight right back to LHR and notify your caregiver.

Better to look for a new switch solution. At its most elementary: https://www.lazada.co.th/products/2-toshino-co-6s-i1979778681-s6337990068.html I can attest to its efficacy.

Not quite. Brits first; then reassess, maybe job done already.

Take matters into your own hands. Install the extension Dark Reader onto whatever browser you're using.

FOB, I guess. Embrace the suck.

Sketchers seem a good buy. I use a pair of Sketchers sandals for walking on the beach, and they've been great. Bought them when the malls were suffering under COVID restrictions and really made the day for one salesman in T21 shocked to make an actual sale.

Good choice at a good price, I like North Face a lot, too. Trekking-oriented shoes are more protective and durable, but a bit heavier and less flexible. Hoka, they're not. You can put in a softer insole, of course. Enjoy!

Drop in a SuperSports store and try out a few brands. Got one on the 2nd floor of Central Festival in Chiang Mai. I favor New Balance because they tend to be wider in the toebox. A lot of brands too narrow for the Asian market. My first running shoes ever were New Balance, so I regard them with some nostalgia. I see SS currently has some models on sale in the Fresh Foam line, some of which get good reviews on Amazon: https://en.supersports.co.th/catalog/?q=new+balance+fresh+foam Which makes it tempting to check them out, maybe pick up a pair. The bigger sales tend to happen towards the end of the year, however. Also soft, comfortable, but indestructible long distance trekkers proof against anything Thailand can throw at them on and off road: Merrills: https://en.supersports.co.th/catalog/?q=merrell+moab World class, perfect fit, built to last longer than you will. Worth the full retail price, but look for a sale later on.

Been about 3 months now. Any progress?

One issue to be aware of now, since that's an old laptop, is to be careful not to let it hear any music by Janet Jackson. Your hard disk may crash! Janet Jackson's music video is now a vulnerability for crashing hard disks

We’ve come quite a long way now. It’s only proper we pause for a moment in tribute to The Inventor who made this thread and the ongoing, ah, situation possible. Last month we neglected the anniversary of His passing. Fernando José "Corby" Corbató (July 1, 1926 – July 12, 2019), inventor of the computer password and timesharing. --https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernando_J._Corbató

And Edge works similarly with an M'soft One Account and Firefox with a Firefox Sync account.

Did you press the Check for Updates button? You can try the troubleshooter. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-update-troubleshooter-19bc41ca-ad72-ae67-af3c-89ce169755dd Could be a previous update failed to install properly. Look at your Updates history, maybe uninstall a couple, and then do the Check. Windows Update isn't perfectly reliable and a source of monthly annoyance, yes. Had a big problem about a year ago--for no reason, of course--and it was a PITA to fix, had to go medieval on it. If it were any computer other than mine, I would have just held my nose and reinstalled. Linux users commonly point to smooth Linux updating as one of the reasons they like Linux. Yes, SO much better.

No, read the OP before posting. It really is mind-boggling to our poor Brits that not everyone wants to watch streamed UK TV.???? WOT? Deprived souls. I do exactly as the OP. In fact, little content of any kind I want to watch is streamed. Even if it is at the present time, it may not be in the future where I can find it easily. I prefer watching via a media player like Kodi, stopping and resuming at will. I may also want to keep it my media library. So, OP, with Android, unlike WDTV (not Android), you can set up sharing with your PC and easily copy/paste files to your USB drive attached to the box. Or you can install an FTP server on your box and transfer files via FTP. Finally, you can download files directly to your USB using an Android bitorrent client. Keep at it. Your TX6, after you grow accustomed to it, is gonna be SO much better than that primitive WDTV. You got a lot of mileage outta yours. Mine died more than 10 years ago and I'm glad it did.

GPUs Likely to Reach Pricing Nadir in a Few Weeks But in Thailand? Wait and see.

Among others I sometimes help out a couple of computer illiterate old geezers when they have problems with their computers. One adamantly refuses to use any password other than his fave, which looks like ‘eeee33’ because of the proximity of the keys on the keyboard, accessible with one finger. He’s been using it for years and can remember it. Case closed. The other can’t remember any passwords whatsoever and will lose any paper he writes them down on, so he relies on old passwords that his Chrome browser fortunately saved for him years ago. I did a backup for him.???? For an average Joe Bloggs, not yet demented but unable to handle any task more complex than estimating a bar tab, the Firefox or Edge password managers might be sufficient (wait!) because they’ll allow the addition of a master password to decrypt. They’ll suggest and generate secure passwords, sync across devices, and of course autofill. Edge, BTW, justly scorned when it first appeared, graduated to become a serious mainstream competitor. If I’m somehow roped into setting up a new Windows installation for a J. B., I’ll just sigh! go ahead and use Edge as the default browser--after configuring it best I can for privacy and adding the URL for Google USA as the default search engine. Simpler, less support going forward.
