  1. A minor anecdote: My daughter leases a Hyundai hybrid. Last summer, while I was visiting, we got into the car with children in the back, the 9-year old behind the drivers seat. When my daughter switched on, on it's own volition, the driver's seat reclined fully onto my grandson's legs and there was nothing we could do to make it stop until, after it decided to 'behave' again.
  2. For your stated use, I recommend a Raspberry Pi 4 or now 5. The wife and I have been using these for years. Cheap, low power usage and simple to use. https://th.cytron.io/c-raspberry-pi-main-board/p-raspberry-pi-5
  3. Wow - that's got to be a record for a troll post on AN!
  4. As you already have an aerial that I know works with many, probably all, of the DVB-T2 set top boxes available, maybe just get one for about 400 baht, as it seems your TV digital receiver is being 'fussy'. I remember that I couldn't get an Aconatic digital TV to work, so attached one of these boxes to the aerial instead. You just plug it in to an HDMI port.
  5. Have you tried re-tuning the stations with the 'no sound' aerial attached? What signal strength levels are shown?
  6. So you just need a replacement aerial. I just bought the cheapest I found on shopee for a TV that is in a room shielded by 2-storey building to it's north and it works well. https://shopee.co.th/เสาดิจิตอลก้างปลา-5E-Thaisat-i.268591061.4441773633?sp_atk=f7265be7-4718-422e-9059-92e799b80db5&xptdk=f7265be7-4718-422e-9059-92e799b80db5 I have previously re-used old analogue aerials for digital TVs and they worked fine, but this room's position needed a 'proper' one.....
  7. To clarify, you no longer could watch terrestrial TV when the analogue signals were turned off 1st January 2018, or you have been able to watch TV, on what would be a digital TV, since then until your aerial exited stage left recently?
  8. Did you use to watch TV on it before the analogue signals were turned off a few years back?
  9. Assuming your TV isn't digital - an analogue, then you will need a digital box and maybe an antenna. Lots of choice on shopee: https://shopee.co.th/search?facet=11045446&keyword=dvb t2&noCorrection=true&order=asc&page=0&sortBy=price
  10. Yes, I should have said extension fee. It is about time for a 'cost-of-living' increase though - my barber has doubled his price to 60 baht over the past 20 years...... I'm more concerned about the 'minimum in the bank' being doubled again......
  11. If I remember correctly, the visa fee went from 500 baht to 1900 baht, so this supposed increase is similar.
  12. How long before cellphone jammers become a 'useful' to carry device?
  13. While the greasy pole of Police Advancement requires access to lots of dosh, therefore pushing the eager into the murky world of easy money, Big Joke is married to a wealthy woman, so has some kind of cover.
  14. Snapshot taken the other day of my 5 years of measuring the temperature in the shade around my house every 15 minutes: The only real trend is the climbing lowest temp during the cool season
  15. But what is antisemitism? Rather than just accept what the ADL says, it would be better to view this independent Israeli documentary maker's work:
  16. Yes, I agree regarding being forced onto the phone, which seems to me a much more 'app friendly' environment giving app access to more information, such as what other apps are loaded and god knows what else. My wife uses SCB just to check balance, as she does with her Bangkok Bank app, payment is not enabled. Luckily I bank with Bangkok Bank and will not use the app. My Linux desktop on Raspberry Pi serves my needs.
  17. I had to remove a Xiaomi app to be able to use SCB - it actually made sense as it was a way to access additional internal settings, so a security risk. Made me think the other banking apps are less security strict.....
  18. A good look under the hood of the antisemitism industry can be seen in this 2009 documentary by an Israeli journalist.
  19. One reason they will be doing this is to identify some of those who haven't declared residing overseas.
  20. The hoses supplied with washing machines are thick and very robust, the potential weakest point being the metal clamp securing the ends. In reality the actual washing machine connection internally is probably the weakest point, it usually being a push-fit rubber grommet on the solenoid valve. The more flexible metal encased toilet squirter pipes are another matter, with a very thin pipe - the thick white versions are much stronger if less flexible.
  21. The main issue with the vast majority of the wifi security cams available now, it seems including your FNKvision, is that you must use their app to interact with them. This means that you are not able to organise what I consider to be the most important function, i.e. recording motion activated images over FTP to a NAS or other device on your LAN. This used to be standard until the mobile app 'ease of use' method of management and the forcing of storage on SD card or in the cloud, with it's associated security issues and costs. I have had to resort to building my own cams with raspberry Pis running motioneye to get localised, minimal data storage and full control over image manipulation.
  22. Did it in November. It seems they have removed the Thai family extension - they have increased the expected timescales to 90 minutes each too.
  23. I really enjoyed the award winning British comedy series Detectorists https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4082744/ that I discovered last year. I also found a torrent of the complete box set of Rumpole of the Bailey - they don't make 'em like that any more......
  24. Bought this: https://shopee.co.th/FBS-เครื่องตัดแต่งพุ่มไม้-เลื่อยตัดแต่งพุ่ม-3880W-20นิ้วใบมีดสองคม-ไร้สาย-เครื่องตัดแต่งกิ่งไม้-เครื่องมื-i.718998900.22848057876 the 299VF with 2 batteries 3 months ago and no complaints so far. Light enough for the wife to fling around but powerful enough to trim newish mango tree growth.
  25. They don't have to catch the arsonists - just apply a massive fine to the actual land owner, with a repeat resulting in jail time.
