Anyone reccomend a decent / legit antivurus program?
BigStar replied to Kenny202's topic in IT and Computers
They would, or might. But so do Macs and Linux boxes. They aren't worth going after unless the owner is high profile. Corporate servers have the best possible, astronomically expensive security systems tended by full-time staff. They're worth going after, and so they get hacked anyway. Which for the average user is all that's needed, and that's good. You Don’t Need to Buy Antivirus Software So have paid antivirus programs, as you've been told. You Don’t Need to Buy Antivirus Software You keep going around and around in circles, old man, as you tend to do. We don't care if you paid for antivir, no need to keep trying to justify it. Give it a rest. -
I was bored out of my mind in Pattaya

More than you are now? Maybe you could find something to do. 🙂 -
I saw him around 3 months ago, different desk, no longer on the front line. Long overdue.

Yes.

Hey--that's not our narrative! 😉 We done rewrote the whole story into a vicious, unprovoked attack by racist Thai thugs, 'cause Thais hate us all and envy our HUGE willys, that sent one to ICU where he later died. Murder, is what it was. An imposter has come forward to make the police complaint! Good on 'im, and God Save The King.

Mostly targets the large market of everyday paranoids, I suppose, given the relatively small likelihood of an IoT hack. Up 2 them. But if I were one of the rich & famous living in, say, Beverly Hills, I'd want to be sure my security company had installed something like it, yes indeed. -
Apology from Pattaya Pub Guards after Assault on Tourists
BigStar replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Oh, you're distorting the point of course. Legacy media, to support the Dem regime. The violence under discussion was actually w/ regard to @fredwiggly's delusion that the kind of violence (gang and random) in Thailand doesn't happen in the USA. But it happens a lot more, actually, and I gave a link of youtube evidence to support it. Since then, he's backtracked and reassured us all that he does, in fact, indeed know it all. 🙂 Violence by blacks and illegal aliens against whites are most likely to be suppressed, BTW. But no one outside the locality or w/o strong connections to the locality finds out about it. Even so, it depends on the local media. For example, you had no idea that Kate Ryken, 45, was reportedly buying a bag of chips in a San Francisco store around 2 p.m. when she was suddenly hit in the back of the head, according to The San Francisco Standard. And you wouldn't have known it from reading the San Fran Chron, a liberal mouthpiece. You didn't find out about this case from CNN or MSNBC: NYC subway crime: Group of 13 attack, rob teen in Columbus Circle station Oh, but that rather harmless riot could be used effectively for anti-Trump hate purposes to impress the gullible. The lies and exaggerations told about it are actually the obverse of suppressing the real news. Little violence committed, except that one of the rioters was murdered by Capitol Police (say her name: Ashli Babbitt). Anyway, off topic, and you'll blow up another balloon for every one I deflate. The point under discussion has been sufficiently addressed. Take your political rants over the Community Pub. Movin' on . . . -

One can always dig up some case of this and that under seemingly similar circumstances. The purpose here is really just to inflame the usual hatred to Thais. But it's expected from an average poster such as yourself. @Walker88, on the other hand, prides himself on being such a hard-nosed, strictly evidence-based, unbiased, objective reporter. 🙂 So one might expect more from, you know, the gold standard. Now actually he's quite good on health-related matters, but in outer space when it comes to anything political, as he wants this case to be. -

Classic: Local news isn't national news, and local news carries mostly--local news. Poor @fredwiggyprobably doesn't even watch any local news from Podunk, Iowa. -

The claim of 6 stitches to the police should be easy to verify. -

A common delusion. Brits have certainly been known to gang up on another Brit. Years ago, for example, there was a notable case in Phuket. It may sometimes depend on whether OUR hooligan, a fellow Liverpool FC supporter, is gettin' whupped or not by that Manchester hooligan. If so, jump in and help. "You'll Never Walk Alone." In the case in question, the white shirt started the aggression with loud complaints and vituperation, pointing and implied threats; and then hit one of the security guards. The other Brits did also immediately involved themselves, ostensibly to calm down the situation (after the staff and Thai security guards had made some ineffectual effort), but physically pushing etc. -
I'm not justifying it, merely informing you as to the reasons it happened. Nonsense, the usual attempt to deflect to the poster in absence of logical argument. Note that you didn't include Thais, overtly cursed and pointed at with implied threat of violence, in the "people" category, kept safe. Only the Brit louts are the people, LOL.

Must Read British men's assault complaint awaited by Pattaya police
BigStar replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
It seems you haven't seen all the CCTV and have outrun the evidence again. -
But the reason you don't like it may simply be because Hollywood messed up the original story and characters. That can leave you wishing for something better as you realize the movie had so much more potential. Off the top of my head, the new Foundation series is a good example. It's easy to tell it's been screwed up to stick in the usual tropes.

Must Read British men's assault complaint awaited by Pattaya police
BigStar replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
I'm not getting into that again, mainly because posters ignorantly bring up the old law, bring up sources based on the old law, or they absolutely love to argue with the Thai law itself based on their definition. @bert bloggsused to devote some effort explaining the way Thai law narrowly defines prostitution, and even he gave up as well. He hasn't logged in a long while; I fear, as he seemed a good man, he may have succumbed to his health issues. The police, BTW, don't always strictly follow the law (surprise!) in making mass sweeps that are actually based on "suspicion" and the desire to present a clean image for the better class of tourists TAT is forever trying to attract. -

Many years ago I got a secured credit card w/ a deposit of 50,000, an amount arbitrarily chosen by me. Ask your bank what the minimum is. -
No. Yup, they certainly were. No. The foreigners had instantly rejected a peaceful solution, most notably the obvious peaceful solution. Instead, led by white shirt, they chose loud aggressive confrontation, yelling vituperation, pointing, challenging, and finally hitting a security guard. Thai customers wouldn't have acted in such a way, knowing the likely outcome, so, yes, you can say, if you wish, that the Brit louts did so because they're Brit louts unconcerned about their safety. They persisted despite warnings. So, game on; they got what they were asking for, 3 vs 3. Thais were kept safe, however, and, though you may not wish to believe it, Thais are people, too.

It does, because you don't see the better movie you could have IF it weren't diminished by lesser minds, nowadays often for political reasons. They never make it better, though. Nine hundred ninety-nine times out of a thousand, they make it worse.

Rather, it's the bashing that gives life SO much meaning here. Just can't give it up, eh. -

So you claim, and we hear spurious claims to Informed Authority all the time here. But then you really have no excuse except a problem between the ears of processing the information and drawing accurate, unbiased conclusions--a condition actually worse than mere ignorance. It comes as no surprise you're moving back to the USA as fast as you can. -
And it hasn't worked. Maybe the problem is that the Brit tabloids constantly play up the, ah, sexier side of Thailand to appeal to the prurience of average louts living in their council estates. Thailand should sue the tabloids and win the way the Royals do! Nonetheless, the tourism numbers continue to increase. But I agree that support hasn't kept up with the numbers.

Presumably the guard could press charges, but that would open up a can of worms. Probably figured justice was meted out already anyway. The CCTV doesn't show that.
