Problems after Sleep on New Desktop.
Right. Whatever. You are correct. I'm using speech to text a d often don't go back to clean up the text. If you bypassed tpm your days are numbered. I just use old HDD for backups. Waste of money to buy new. Odds of your data + backup data both losing access to data at same time are less than zero. Think about it -

What to Pack for a Month in Thailand as a Student Backpacker
What to Pack for a Month in Thailand as a Student Backpacker Thailand is humid, chaotic, and unforgettable. You'll sweat through your clothes, lose a sock in a beach bungalow, and somehow find yourself sipping coconut water at sunrise. But all of it goes downhill fast if your backpack's filled with useless junk. This guide is written for student travelers on tight budgets and even tighter backpacks. Think lightweight, low-maintenance, and hostel-proof. We'll cover the real must-haves and what you'll wish you left behind. And if you're wondering whether to pack a tablet for last-minute essays, a solid paper writing service might be the better call.

You'll end up carrying your regrets through ferry ports and sweat-soaked bus terminals. A 40–50L backpack is the sweet spot, enough room for basics without tempting you to overpack. Add a small foldable daypack. You'll use it every day. That's for your water bottle, sunscreen, roll of toilet paper (yes, seriously), and whatever snack you couldn't resist from 7-Eleven. If your bag's a black hole, you'll be repacking it on hostel floors every other day. Compression cubes and zip pouches save your sanity. Clothing That Works for Thailand's Heat, Temples, and Hostels Your clothes should feel like air. Cotton traps sweat. Denim never dries. Pack light, dry-fast fabrics and pieces you can wear twice without feeling gross. Thai hostels often offer laundry for cheap, so don't bring your entire closet. Here's a solid student checklist: 3 breathable T-shirts 1 tank or crop top 2 loose shorts or skirts 1 light jumpsuit or casual dress 1 long sleeve shirt for temples or sun 1 rain jacket (thin, packable) 1 swimsuit 4 pairs of underwear (you'll wash often) 2 pairs of socks 1 pair of sandals + 1 comfy walking shoe Non-Negotiables: What You'll Regret Not Packing There are a few things that are either hard to find in Thailand or just oddly expensive. And when you're dripping with sweat or running late to a sleeper train, you won't want to hunt for them. Pack these. You'll thank yourself later: Bring a compact microfiber towel. Most hostels don't provide towels, and bulky ones never dry. A refillable water bottle with a filter can save you money and stomach issues. A power bank is your lifeline. Thailand is made for offline wandering, but your phone needs to last. Sandals with grip are better than flimsy flip-flops when it's raining or slippery. A small dry bag keeps your tech safe on boats or beach days. Lightweight padlock for hostel lockers. You won't need it daily, but you'll be glad to have it. Toiletries: What to Pack and What to Buy in Thailand You'll find 7-Eleven on nearly every corner. Toothpaste, razors, and shampoo are all easy to get and cheap. But don't count on local brands for everything. Sunscreen, for example, often comes with whitening agents. Deodorant might be less effective than what you're used to. Bring a small kit with what you actually like using, especially if you have sensitive skin. Makeup tends to melt off in 10 minutes, so keep it minimal. Wet wipes, hand sanitizer, and a small first aid kit go a long way.

That's non-negotiable. Same for a fast charger and backup cable. A tablet or small laptop is helpful if you're studying remotely, but only if your hostel has reliable Wi-Fi. It's rare. And yes, it's tempting to lug around your DSLR. But unless you're shooting content daily, it just slows you down. Keep everything small, padded, and ideally in your daypack. Theft isn't rampant, but careless storage is. Documents, Cash, and Safety Tips Start with the basics: your passport, visa documents, and student ID (can land you discounts on attractions). Store photos of everything on your phone and in the cloud. You'll want at least one debit card and a small stash of emergency cash hidden somewhere separate. If your card fails or your wallet disappears, this backup is your safety net. And if you're working on assignments while abroad, travel-friendly platforms matter, too. EssayHub offers solid help on the go and, according to Samuel Gorbold, a writer at the essay writing service himself, most student travelers need a balance of digital tools and smart planning to actually stay on track. Overrated Extras: Leave These at Home You don't need four pairs of shoes. You don't need five bikinis or full-size shampoo bottles. And please skip the hairdryer. You'll end up wearing the same clothes every few days. You'll do laundry in your sink at least once. And you'll never once say, "I wish I brought more stuff." Books are heavy. Towels are bulky. Makeup melts. Anything you don't wear in the first week will stay at the bottom of your bag for the rest of the trip. Final Thoughts You're not packing for Instagram. You're packing for tuk-tuks, temple floors, and hostel showers that only run cold. Choose comfort. Choose gear that earns its space. And above all, leave room for the things you'll collect along the way, like mosquito bites, wild stories, maybe even a craving for pad kra pao at 3 a.m. -
