U.S. Moves to Bar Noncompete Agreements in Labor Contracts
tgw replied to Scott's topic in World News
huh - noncompetes need to be regulated, not banned. with a ban, it will become even easier for big business to destroy small business than it is now. -

VPN vs Cloud Computers for connecting to home from Thailand
tgw replied to WaveHunter's topic in IT and Computers
- no need to have another computer - no need to update - no danger of data leak / intrusion on the remote computer - much less danger of the remote computer having a technical issue (Bios CMOS bad, select boot device/ windows blue screen loop, boot into safe mode, windows update fails....) - you can use all your programs/files of your own computer ... I guess there are some advantages I don't even think about, but I'm sure there is not a single advantage in using a remote computer and teamviewer compared to VPN on the router. and ah, hum, I have been a user of teamviewer for years until they decided my connection to my dad's computer and my son's computer were of "commercial" nature and cut every connection after 1 minute. It took some time to convince them otherwise. the less you depend on third party vendors and other devices, the more reliable your solution is. -

I think you don't understand what a VPN is. What gets you flagged, is the commercial VPN's IP address. There is no way the use of a private VPN can be detected by the visited website. -
400 Russian Tourists Arrive in Rayong, Welcomed with Water Cannon Salute
tgw replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
I wonder how people who write "all are guilty" and "all are innocent" even manage to command their lungs to breathe with just their binary system of neurons... anyway, the salute of the arrival of the Russians is a disgrace for Thailand. this damages Thailand's image. disgusting ! -

VPN vs Cloud Computers for connecting to home from Thailand
tgw replied to WaveHunter's topic in IT and Computers
1- no sharing of a computer involved if using the router's VPN server. 2- VPN on the router should not cause your sister any technical issues 3- your sister's connection bandwidth will be impacted regardless of what solution you will use, because both will share your sister's connection. the impact should not be noticeable though, if you don't stream HD video or down/up load a lot of content 4- I have mentioned the drawbacks/advantages before -

VPN vs Cloud Computers for connecting to home from Thailand
tgw replied to WaveHunter's topic in IT and Computers
I would still prefer a home router configured as a VPN server, because it wouldn't require a remote laptop to be switched on. you could of course switch the laptop on if it's connected to the router by using "wake on LAN" function, but this requires to login on the remote router anyway. and even an "always on" laptop will need to be updated, rebooted, etc. also anyone near the laptop will be able to see what's on screen, and able to install any software. -

Russia Today's Disinformation Xmas Video yes, I'm posting content from Russia Today. It's so ridiculous. This is the disinformation Ruzzia feeds to its own citizens about how Europeans experienced Xmas in 2022: I wonder how many vatniks will believe those "fairy tales" ?

Can Thailand afford to raise minimum wage to 600 baht?
tgw replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I'm opposed to a general minimum wage, I think it disregards specificity and differences between people. There are huge differences in the personal individual situations of people, for example if they have to pay rent or not, passive income, living in the same household, family members of the owner of the business, etc. Minimum wages generally announce the end of small family businesses, as well as freelance jobs, and that's not a good thing. A general minimum wage is not something that is a must have for a welfare state. Switzerland for example does not have a minimum wage. Another bad side effect of a minimum wage is that it does automatically transform low performers into jobless bums and criminals. Because as the minimum wage rises, so does businesses' requirements for employees to perform to justify their employment. Expect less "security" staff paid for sleeping through the night on their post and more petty thieves and scammers. Better ways to ensure proper wages are paid are issuing official advisory guidelines for salaries according to qualifications, unionizing in some jobs and sectors, and, of course, the government leading by example, especially in schools, hospitals and the police. -

Biden: For Gods sake this man cannot remain in power !
tgw replied to Social Media's topic in US & Canada Topics and Events
I'd even go further and say it's not really relevant if Biden is physically completely fit for office or not, because it's a team that gets elected, and there is still the vice president, Kamala Harris. In these times, with menacing China and Russia, it's better to elect a functioning team than a loose cannon autocratic single person program. -
Female Motorcyclist Crushed to Death by Six-Wheeler in Sri Racha
tgw replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
true. but it's not criminal negligence nor gross negligence. he just drove his truck as anyone does in Thailand, not keeping a safe distance when overtaking is something all drivers do, even the good ones occasionally. justice is not revenge. part of justice is considering how big a fault was, not just the outcome. -

tgw replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
priorization. if you start slapping the book at everyone for everything, people will just not care and accept the situation as a lottery - as it is now - nothing will change. they should start with mercilessly enforcing a handful of rules and enforcing the rest too, but in a balanced manner. in that way, it would be possible to slowly improve the situation. destroying individual people's lives when genuine accidents happen will not help the situation in any way and will create more criminals. -

tgw replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
in theory, yes. in practice ... you know how it is on Thai roads. if they tackled the most serious problems on Thai roads, 90% of deaths would be avoided, and this doesn't even rank in the list of most serious problems. they should fine and suspend the driver in a way that doesn't destroy his life. it's not worth nor would it be balanced making an example of him while millions are still driving through red and in the wrong way on streets.
