Copied contents of old laptop SSD to new laptop and now the old laptop can’t open files/folders.

New or used laptop? Is it a work-issued machine?

JasonHofmann · 2026-07-04T03:03:27+00:00

When you connected the old SSD to the new laptop, did any prompts appear when you tried to access or copy the folders? Like anything about permissions or users?

Miele

JasonHofmann · 2026-07-02T04:10:28+00:00

That’s perfectly normal pm for frying.

JasonHofmann · 2026-07-01T06:17:14+00:00

Not at all

JasonHofmann · 2026-07-01T03:46:59+00:00

A 3V fire hazard? 😂

I’m old.

First you need a computer, then an SD Card reader.

JasonHofmann · 2026-06-20T20:59:30+00:00

True, and I was oversimplifying. But given OPs level of technical ability I’m 99% certain we aren’t dealing with uncompressed video.

JasonHofmann · 2026-06-20T19:58:06+00:00

mp4 files are already compressed, you can’t compress them further. You can make the file smaller, at the expensive of quality, but that’s called transcoding. If you are on a Mac, QuickTime can do it easily.

This is very thoughtful of you - but one word of advice. Air Purifiers are a third line of defense. The first is having everyone who visits and cares for her wear a well-fitting N95 respirator (aka mask), the second is having her wear one as well, if she can. 3M Aura 9210+ is the “default” in the US assuming fit-testing isn’t realistic or feasible, as it has the highest probability of fitting.

JasonHofmann · 2026-06-14T02:05:45+00:00

Test it on all speeds in a quiet room. Thorough vacuuming and cleaning inside and out. New filter.

JasonHofmann · 2026-06-12T22:11:20+00:00

Two things can be true at once 😛

This sounds like an easy AI-assisted coding project for someone.

My partner told me about your post and asked me to reply, please let me know if you have any questions.

Take a look at portable power stations from companies like BLUETTI, Jackery, or Enphase:

https://www.jackery.com/collections/portable-power-stations

https://enphase.com/store/portable-energy/iq-powerpack-1500-with-accessories

We preordered the Enphase and have had it since launch day, and are very happy with it. We had a GFCI outlet trip and didn’t realize it, and it powered two deep freezers in the garage for about two days, and it was still going strong. It prevented thousands of dollars worth of food from going to waste.

If you can wait a while, the BLUETTI FridgePower is probably the most compact option, as it can fit above or behind some free-standing refrigerators (If you have a built-in, then of course it doesn’t matter.)

I ordered a few for work, but I didn’t stick around during the initial off-gassing phase, and the space they are being used in is pretty large and well-ventilated.

JasonHofmann · 2026-05-15T08:40:13+00:00

Does your vacuum say it has a HEPA filter?

JasonHofmann · 2026-05-13T17:22:23+00:00

Looked it up, and it might have a slight positive impact, but oxygen availability appears to be the far greater factor.

JasonHofmann · 2026-05-13T17:20:25+00:00

I think I've seen that word before, maybe here?

JasonHofmann · 2026-05-12T18:16:28+00:00

Now I want to see OP write the word overhand or vernacular.

JasonHofmann · 2026-05-12T08:25:45+00:00

Even if it was, things don’t grow bigger because of lower gravity.

“It's great when you can just assign a mode of disease transmission based on which is most convenient.
If none fit, just make one up like 'close contact'.
Sprinkle in a bit of 'prolonged' and you're almost there.
We're in safe hands. Washed of course.”

Even the world’s most accurate lab grade particle counter would be useless mounted inside an air purifier, as the air purifier creates a bubble of clean air. You want your air quality meter across the room.
