Cold beer or glass of wine and music…sometimes listening or, when really stressed, playing piano or guitar while singing, all badly I must admit…and the singing usually requires more than one adult beverage.

• 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

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
