I am a partially sighted blind person. My cane helps me move through and explore the physical world while screen readers and other assistive tech help me do the same with all things cyber. I also tend to have very little confidence that the Powers That Be really know what is best for me.

Good luck

we are not redditors anymore, we don’t belong there

This is something that became very clear to me when I made the mistake of going back for a visit yesterday and found a lot of that "fear, derision, doubt, apathy" in one of the last places I expected to find it.

Photonic tensor CPUs and analogue iterative machines show a lot of promise. However I think human assisted AI or even AI alone are more likely to take over Assembly level programming before photonic computing has that much of an impact

Nope.

Am a heck of a lot older...and have gone blind. I'm still learning things all the time. If it is firing your curiosity it is worth giving a shot. By all means go for it!

  • Wake up
  • Get energized
  • Relax
  • Express my mood
  • Concentrate
  • Distract myself
  • Fall asleep

If I am not playing it I am listening to it. If I am not listening to it it's playing in my head

You probably can

Do they both have Thunderbolt ports? Windows, Mac, or Linux? Wired or wireless networking?

If they both have thunderbolt 3/4 and you have a cable you can connect both to the cable and use Thunderbolt networking. MSI has a pretty good how to

Otherwise:

  • Transfer over network (buy usb ethernet adapter if necessary $10-15 on amazon)
  • Buy USB transfer cable and use it to transfer
  • Remove HD from old laptop, buy compatible external HD enclosure, put it in external HD enclosure and connect it to new laptop
  • Copy files from old laptop to existing external drive, then connect external drive to new laptop
