  1. Ah. You login to google drive etc. on google.com. Unfortunately it happens that google doesn't automatically upload all your data from your PC. Not surprisingly, if you didn't upload it, then it won't be there all safe and sound when your drive crashes. The other issue, you see, is that serious computer users often have much more data than the measly 15 GB google gives you for free on Google drive. So actually they'd ALSO have to pay for more space, as you noted. But then it seems you're limited to 2 TB? Many people have more than that. I have 6 TB of data, for example. As it turns out, just having your password [to a Google account], not necessarily Chrome, and are using Gmail, then your Gmail is stored there, unless you've exceeded your space limit. But not much else without conscious effort and payments. If you're using Chrome, Google will love to backup your bookmarks and browsing data and sync them to Chrome on other devices. I think we can just state the general principle that you'll lose data when it's deleted, erased, or otherwise becomes inaccessible if you don't have it backed up SOMEWHERE.
  2. We also need the baked-beans-on-toast index. However, a lot of Thai cities may not serve any.
  3. Merely from experience with prostitutes whom you paid to fake a "spark" for you. Older Thai women can be quite hot naturally but are pretty rare, certainly unknown to members here familiar only with the lower class. As with physically desirable older men, they retain youth the old-fashioned way, the only way possible: through diet & exercise--both of which you've wisely made a point of avoiding.
  4. Why bother? The new PC may just be imaginary or a wind up. If he wants to use Linux, he could just install it on his old computer and it'll probably run like new.
  5. Now this is good news. Thank god for Chrome, eh. How does this guarantee to save your media files, your documents and shortcuts, work? Login to WHERE?
  6. As do I, fields already typed it in, just change the date. Also have my phone number typed at the bottom. Anything to get outta the Immigration office quickly. Been a couple years since I received a bank book check notice. I'd ignore it anyway. Exactly. I get the bank book letter from the bank on my way to Immigration. They give me a photocopy of the updated last page. If online doesn't work and I must go there, I print out a pre-filled TM47 and passport copies. Also my yellow book. Never done a TM.30. I love surprising them. What "extra" besides the usual acknowledgement slip w/ notice of your next reporting date?
  7. Let's not overcomplicate things. Make a Macrium Reflect bootable USB stick (aka rescue media). Install both drives into the new computer. Boot with Macrium. Clone. Remove/disconnect old drive. Profit. Will it boot? Yes, it might. Gone are the bad ol' Win 7 days. Win 10's much less grumpy about waking up in new hardware. It goes out and finds stuff. Worth a try to avoid reinstalling all those programs from the old installation. If you get the MBR complaint, enable Legacy/CSM in BIOS and test. If it's matter of drivers . . . you can try startup repair. Fairly useless, in most cases. But paid versions of Macrium and other such offer a "redeploy" feature or "bare bones restore" from an image (yeah, make an image of the old drive on another drive and use it). I'll redeploy if I'm moving an installation to very dissimilar hardware. Does Samsung have a similar feature? Find out. I can't remember, but it may be that Macrium Free doesn't adjust the size of the clone to use the entire disk. If not, you'd need to extend the system partition into the extra free space, after it's up and running. Or you can make a data partition and move the libraries there. I never do on ONE drive, seems a legacy handed down from Win98. Best use another drive for data . . . .
  8. Used the same forms at Jomtien for years. They live on on my computer, the required fields filled in black Arial. I merely change the dates, print them out, and sign with a blue fountain pen. Piece o' cake. Simple retirement extension, 800k method. Never tried to make an appt. I show up in the afternoon and take a number.
  9. I don't know anybody, and what I know has always been sufficient to avoid problems.
  10. I went last week to beat the Songkran rush. I needed no TM30. A copy of my pink card served as address confirmation. NEW: the IO wanted a copy of the middle pages of my PP, the two of them. However, he made the copy himself and I signed it. Pretty crowded when I went, but in and out in 30 min.
  11. I wonder when we're going to hear the end of this excuse for more getting more. Every little part's gon' have to have its very own thread . . . .
  12. Exercise very helpful: Creatine known good: Creatine Supplementation and Brain Health A couple of others to consider: ginkgo biloba and lion's mane. Other than that, a nutrient-rich diet. Some extra anti-oxidants might be helpful, but you'll never know, having no clone to act as a control subject. And finally a brain needs exercise too. Video games, readily available. Video games show potential in improving key aspects of memory in older adults
  13. That's plenty enough. Take the job.
  14. Right. Trump can't buy groceries. Keep believing that, pal. Encapsulates all that's wrong with the loonie left right there.
  15. Predictably, another flop of many in Biden's failed presidency. The faithful will believe that nonsense, however. Donald Trump's net worth has jumped $4 billion this year to $7.2 billion, per Bloomberg's rich list. The former president is richer than George Soros and set to surpass Mark Cuban and George Lucas. --https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-wealth-tmtg-dwac-billionaires-stock-court-judgment-rich-list-2024-3
  16. Are here to offer helpful advice for the OP or merely rationalize and pat yourself on the back?
  17. Short life but the end missed a crucial element necessary for approval from out ANF Life Coaches. The ideal is that short but happy life ending with a smile on one's face during a bonk. The short but happy life omits dieting and exercise; Mr. Milligan may have successfully achieved that part; he was at least living in the paradise of Pattaya.
  18. Shepherd's pie? Good subtopic: our member's fave pies, often seen on their plates.
  19. And I didn't even bother with doing that. But I think for various reasons the OP is better off just spending B300 or so.
  20. You can continue to use Win 10 without activation. You'll see the nag message and you can't use the desktop personalization options. You may get fear mongering here about the cheap grey market keys. Been discussed before in other threads, I'm not getting back into it. In short, buy from a reputable, well-reviewed vendor on Lazada, Ebay etc., and you'll be fine. These keys are legit but aren't being used as M'soft envisioned.
