Problems after Sleep on New Desktop.
There is an N in a.n 5555 My first TPM bypass was by altering the Registry 4 years ago before using Rufus. All good up to now. What can go wrong please? Yes, I also use older 3.5" drives for back-ups. Someone mentioned my being Paranoid. I have heard this song quite often recently. RIP Ozzie. -

Thai - Cambodia Conflict Thai and Cambodian Army Commanders Strike Seven-Point Deal
I think this analysis overlooks key realities. The idea that the military alone controls border security in both countries isn’t accurate. In Thailand, civilian governments often defer to the military on security matters, yes — but in Cambodia, there's no separation. The military is fully aligned with Hun Sen’s political apparatus, now continued under his son. It’s a one-party state with no independent military command. These “regional agreements” by generals are more symbolic than structural. Ultimate authority lies with the top command. No field general is going to contradict centralised orders, especially not in Cambodia’s tightly controlled hierarchy. The August 4th meeting is not some magic deadline. If the leadership in either country wanted a stable ceasefire, it could be enforced now. BOTH COUNTRIES' LEADERSHIPS ARE POSTURING FOR NATIONALISTIC PRIDE FOR PUBLIC CONSUMPTION. It’s about calculated brinkmanship, especially from regimes that benefit from portraying themselves as defenders of national sovereignty. Hun Sen also wants to shift the focus away from his cash cow, which has garnered international attention due to the numerous scams involving call centres and forced labour within these enterprises. There's been far too much scrutiny of all this lately, and it's making him nervous. -

Thai - Cambodia Conflict Thai and Cambodian Army Commanders Strike Seven-Point Deal
No mention of opening up the border crossings , air borne reconnaissance , land mines etc . Or will these points and others be debated on August 4th ? Seems like a sensitive ceasefire and will not take much to start fighting again as the main point of the conflict has not been addressed and I doubt that there will be any concessions from Thailand at the August 4th General Border Committee meeting . -
