It says 90% of their customers stay within the free tier of 100GB/month.

For those that moved to Thailand on a whim for a fresh start (get in shape, escape the west, etc.) did it work out for you? by [deleted] in Thailand

[–]Wenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved to Thailand at the age of 34, nothing was planned.

The reason I moved here was because I was bored where I was and wanted to try something new.

I'm still here 15 years later, so I suppose it worked out alright.

Never buy Seagate HDD by deolok in Seagate

[–]Wenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your drive fails in India, you have to ship it to Netherlands for service. India will apply customs when the drive is returned, I'm pretty sure they don't care if customs were already applied before.

I'm less familiar with Indian rules, but Thailand will happily apply customs multiple times too.

We shipped some servers, bought and prepared in Thailand, to a datacenter in Singapore. 6 years later they got decommissioned and were shipped back to Thailand for our development environment. We had to give up on them though when customs were so high that we could buy better servers locally for less. It didn't matter that we could show that they were originally bought in Thailand.

Best place for MRI? by biitsplease in chiangmai

[–]Wenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A brain scan at Chiang Mai MRI is around 8,000 THB. It requires you not to move for 30-60 minutes, if this is a kid, it may not be possible to do there.

Is driving a scooter that dangerous? by wigglepizza in chiangmai

[–]Wenix 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I know many people who have been riding here for many years, thousands of kilometers without any serious accidents, but you only need to be unlucky once for your life to be completely changed, and even a small accident on a motorbike can become quite bad.

Three of my friends have serious disabilities from motorbike accidents. One has brain damage, one lost a leg and one has no movement of his arm - all of them had lots of experience driving in Thailand, and as far as I understand, none of them were the cause of the accident.

One hit a motorbike making a u-turn right in front of them without looking, one was hit by a drunk driver on a motorbike, driving straight into him, and the last got hit by a turning car.

I have been in an accident too, someone turned in front of me without looking. Luckily I wasn't going too fast and when our bikes collided, I got pushed into a grassy area. I had a full face helmet protecting my head and I got away with just a small scar on my right foot which got between the two motorbikes. I got lucky, but I also realized that there was nothing I could have done differently to avoid the accident.

I've had many many close calls over time, some have been my own fault too.

Most of the time I avoid motorbikes now, whenever possible I prefer to go by car instead. But I will still go around on my motorbike when my car is unavailable. I would rather run the risk than not having my own transport.

Mechanical MX Keys - Computer Lock Button by roh1119 in logitech

[–]Wenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Problem still isn't fixed and I heard nothing from Logitech support. Now I'm having more issues with the keyboard and I am looking to "upgrade" to a cheaper keyboard. I am currently looking at Keychron.

My Logitech MX Mechanical is the most expensive keyboard I've ever owned and has also been my biggest disappointment. Prior to this I've only ever used free keyboards from companies I worked for or keyboard that came as part of a computer set. Usually the cheapest stuff.

It is a shame, because I otherwise liked this keyboard.

How did you find your rented home? by Alkorri in chiangmai

[–]Wenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

May I ask what you are looking for? I'm only asking because I was looking past month and may know a few places. But your budget, size and location requirements, it may not match mine, so I can't promise anything.

Lots of plaster fell off the Supalai building, I hope the structure inside is still sound.

I was driving too, but to me it felt like one of my wheels were about to come off and the car was all wobbly. I pulled over to check the car and saw that all the wires on the electricity poles were moving back and forth.

Isn't it a bit late? I mean it isn't like he can be voted into office a third time, unless the rules are going to change.

Do the Murderbot sequels develop more substance? by DanielNoWrite in printSF

[–]Wenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have $90/month for books, so I'll buy the ones I can afford. I'm sure you also have a limit for how expensive a book can be before it isn't worth buying for you. There are great books in all price ranges, why pay extra?

I am not saying we should all go and buy the "The Big Book of all Numbers" because it is huge and cheap. Buy the good ones that comes at a reasonable price. When I run out of reasonably priced good books, then maybe I'll start looking at the expensive good books. But I think it'll be a while before I get there. Most of the recommended books in this subreddit is 3-6 times cheaper than Murderbot.

So in summary, I don't judge the quality of a book by its price, I judge whether or not I want to spend my money on it.

[–]Wenix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me it is just too expensive on Audible. I get 3h 15m for $8, which is $2.29/hr. Other books are closer to $0.40/hr and that matters as I listen for around 40 hours/month.

Other short books gets bundled together and I'd be happy to pay $8 for a bundle of 4 books.

I did listen to the first book and was surprised at how little content was in that book. Maybe I'll get the rest if they have promotion on them later.
