  1. Japan seems to have it: https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/OAR-N16-Conditioner-Remote-Control-Reserved/dp/B092YSK6ZF
  2. that would require installation, I got no exposed cables. and it relies on the hope that both the AC and the timer resume after power loss.
  3. yes, that's the plan
  4. yes. but in my case I have the AC already, it doesn't support that function, so it has to be in the remote. besides, incase of a power cut, the AC unsit would have to have an internal battery, akin to a computer's CMOS battery in order for it to keep the current time. so it's much simpler to have the function in the remote which runs on batteries anyway
  5. that's way too advanced for my purpose, I don't need wifi or anything. just a remote on a table, pointing towards the AC and sending the signal at the right time
  6. and then you realize the only thing that is needed is an aircon remote that sends an IR signal based on a clock. it's all in the remote, no need for the aircon itself to support anything.
  7. I am looking for a programmable aircon remote that will allow me to set fixed on / off times for every day. I toyed with the timer function of my LG Inverter, but it seems the settings wear off after they were triggered. So I'm looking for some sort of programmable universal AC remote that will switch the aircon on and off every day at the same time.
  8. placing the heavy cooking part of the kitchen outside will always work in Thailand ???? you will have to think about details such as smoke/exhaust management, easy placement of cooking supplies, roofing, etc. regarding the drain in the floor, yes, Thai bathrooms usually come with that drain in the floor, but Western bathrooms usually don't. I mean building the whole bathroom floor with a very slight slope that guides the water towards the drain. The bathroom floor could also be 1 cm lower than other floors. The Japanese generally make very clever bathrooms.
  9. it filly up really quickly if storing series in 1080p and x264
  10. completely unrealistic. Taiwan has been fortifying, training and buying weapons for over 70 years to defend against a Chinese invasion. To prove my point, I suggest you use google satellite view and check out Taiwanese islands and coastline and look for bunkers. Some of these islands seem to consist only of fortifications. I'm pretty sure Taiwan itself is akin to Swiss cheese with underground bases everywhere and numerous coastline defenses. Just have a look please. Launching an invasion on a prepared Taiwan that is equipped with modern weapons is pretty much suicide, especially if Taiwan is supported by the USA.
  11. "upgrade the computer" but all we know about OP's requirements is: - torrenting 24/7 - light video editing - multitasking unless OP wants to expand his video editing, I'd say any reasonably solid midrange machine from 5-6 years ago should do the trick. speed of HDD, etc. is all secondary as long as OP does not have fiber internet. another thing is OP doesn't tell or doesn't know what the specific problem with his machine is - might just need new thermal paste. OP's box looks noisy though.
  12. well, anyone generating clicks from the story has an interest too.
  13. I need to see a doctor for a differential diagnosis of a possible carcinoma on the penis glans. So I would like to ask here for recommendations of a particular doctor or team/hospital with good reputation in that field of expertise, along with their lab. English speaking doctor only of course. Also, if I suppose the visit will include : - examination - anamnesis - biopsy (one or more) - lab analysis is a rough estimation of costs possible ?
  14. hmm... why do posters get all excited about an election for less than half of parliament seats ?
  15. who knows how many of the tsunami warning buoys are currently operational ?
  16. I asked Chat GPT already: There was no text after 3. Advising Robinson department store is a bit strange, especially as there is no Lo-Bin-San store in Pattaya AFAIK (I know one in SiRacha). I hope you can do better than chat GPT ????
  17. what I read earlier about the legalization project is that the government wants to issue "licences". the problem with licences is that officials just sit on them and it can take years to issue one, and in the meanwhile, the business is racketeered by the BiB. they should do away with the licencing and simplify the "rules"
  18. After watching a number of documentaries about the US legal system, I have the impression that it's built around a horrible system - it seems as if cops' and prosecutors' priority isn't to find out the truth but to do everything within their powers to distort witness statements and evidence to be able to charge someone with a crime and use every dirty trick to extort witness statements in exchange for leniency,whereas the veracity of said statements is secondary. I don't say all cases are like that, but in some cases I have seen in the documentaries, I am of the opinion that some cops and prosecutors should have been sent to jail themselves. That being said, I am in favour of the death penalty, but only in clear-cut cases fulfilling the following criteria: - culpability is proven beyond any doubt by multiple surveillance and physical evidence (in case of DNA, there must be enough DNA samples to verify the initial test) - sentence is pronounced by a professional and experienced panel of judges (no jury) and confirmed by the ministry of justice after a review of evidence
  19. yes, I would advise you to do exactly that and buy an external drive to save backups on. maybe use a program that makes incremental disk images. don't know how much of the internal 1TB you will use, but maybe buy 2TB external. just don't forget to do the backups. people generally say SSD don't fail, but my experience is another completely.
  20. like Steven He would say, Putin is just a failure causing lots of emotional damage
  21. I have 2 quick inputs: - no serious cooking can be done in an open kitchen inside the house (major mistake in modern Western house and condo designs). put the main kitchen/cooking area outside the house, backside, as most Thais do, and inside maybe fridge, microwave and a sink for the fancy things. - bathrooms: I'd suggest placing a drain in the floor.
  22. I'm looking for a Thai B2B salesperson who can communicate in English (or German or French) in the Pattaya area Required skills: - client prospection/research - basic computer skills, Email, browsing, can Google, can open PDF, Powerpoint, Word, Excel files, can print, save as PDF - can conduct sales/acquisition calls by phone - hold sales meetings/presentations with clients Please contact by private message.
  23. Currently running on W10. I will try to upgrade to W11 when I will have a specific need to do so. I will have to use a hack to do it, because Microsoft doesn't want to upgrade my computer to W11, although my computer fulfills the formal requirements. I have a laptop running a i7-4790k which checks all the boxes: - TPM 2.0 - DirectX 12 with WDDM 2.7 - UEFI Secure Boot yet MS says my device is incompatible.
