Microsoft's Windows 11 rant - it's a con!
https://www.pcmag.com/explainers/keep-windows-10-pc-alive The Extended Security Update (ESU) program lets you extend your Windows 10 PC’s life . People who pay for a subscription can keep getting security updates for Windows 10 until October 2028. But Google has a special operating system named ChromeOS Flex. Anyone try ChromeOS Flex? I think Linux is not very good. -

What happened to Rock n Roll
Music has become formulated, much like movies, driven only by how much money it can make as opposed to more artistic expression. How often do you see modern bands take risks into a new forms of rock such as was done with Punk, Ska, New Wave, Metal? There is just a type of sameness of most music these days in my humble opinion. Love watching people first time viewing bands and their videos from the 70's and 80's. Watch the WTF for Highway Star or Rock Lobster or Black Betty (Bam-a-lam) is funny as heck! -

First Non-O Spouse Visa Extension in Chiang Mai
I now have all the information I needed. A visit to immigration by the airport and asking lots of questions helped massively. I speak a decent level of Thai, but that wasn't necessary as everyone I spoke to there spoke good enough English. I'll start a new thread once the extension is done with everything I've learnt as nobody in this forum gave (or was able to give) me the advice I needed that was specific to Chiang Mai. Extension based on marriage cannot be done at Central Festival, contrary to what someone mentioned in this thread. Whether this was different in the past, I don't know. So, don't waste your time. Nobody at immigration in Chiang Mai knew what the STM10 form was and they don't provide it. Driving license is not needed. The bank letters, statement and passbook can be updated before the application day (up to 7 days before). The official requirements at immigration ask for the letter and updated bank book or statement; however, my neighbours said both were required. So, I'm doing both. The Khor.Ror.2 just needs to be an original copy - it also doesn't need to be done on the day. They have specific requirements for the photos, but provide no samples. My neighbours helped me with this - they were even asked by immigration if their photos could be used as a sample. So far, there's been no mentioned of any need for witnesses, but I was told the home visit will be within 2 weeks (still no mention of witnesses). I was told we wouldn't be able to negotiate the day they come for the visit, but I explained my wife is away a lot and showed them her schedule. Hopefully, we will be able to choose a day when she's here. Next stop is the bank tomorrow... -

Anyone living in Roi Et? What can one do there?
I have met many, many guys who did live in Isaan with a Thai wife, they were crying into their beer or meal while telling me how they had met them while the woman was working as a bar girl, she fell in love with him, he was the only one etc. The fact the women are 20 to 30 years younger than the farangs does not seem to cause any surprise to the farangs. Later on they moved to her village in Isaan, he bought a house ,car, paid for her family. The story ends a few different ways, the guy visited his own country for a month or two, comes back and the house has been sold and the wife was gone, he ran out of cash and was then kicked out, there are variations of this. I think they prefer much older men as they do not have to wait that long before they are dead and can then claim the rest of the farangs wealth. Before anyone suggests I am bitter and it has happened to me, no, I would never be stupid enough to think a woman 20 to 30 years younger than me could find any guy in the world desirable apart from the money of course, but it seems like a lot of farangs really are stupid.
