Did you know there are different kinds of SSD interfaces? [status, computers]
Now that the case has arrived, I have learned that the 2012 MacBook Pro has an mSATA SSD, not an M.2 SSD, which was developed later.
So I won't be able to access its hard drive until I get the correct kind of case in, which is going to take several more days and another $20.
Last night I caused myself all kinds of headaches by trying to learn how to copy over files onto a Linux machine from a Time Machine backup. I had kind of known that Fruit Company played clever tricks with Time Machine, but hadn't suffered the consequences until now because I've always just gone from one Mac to another.
I'm sorta proud of how far I made it by using a script someone developed for this purpose, except that in my first attempt I made the mistake of trying to copy over the ENTIRE backup drive, and burned an hour of the early evening, making me anxious and tired. My second attempt partially worked, until I hit some kind of error.
It will probably be faster to throw stuff onto a USB drive via the work computer, then stick that into the Ubuntu-Machine.
There's a geographic struggle here. The Time Machine Backup and work computer are both at work. I don't really want to also leave the Ubuntu-Machine at work overnight to run anything that might take a long time. So then I'm somewhat stuck at work, not actually feeling like I'm getting anything done while just trying to rearrange files on the Titanic.
I was hoping to get class syllabi and course schedules finalized yesterday, and to get my research students set up for their Independent Study credits, but none of that happened.
Thursday morning rowing practice got switched to this morning because weather, but I couldn't get myself to go because of carryover effects from computer stress, which just compounds stress further. My shoulders are very unhappy right now.
