Unfortunately, as far as I know, there's no way of accessing the SD
card from an external machine while it's in the Pi... Be nice if there
was... or if the Pi had a full-sized SD slot instead of that microSD
BS... I might tinker with my Pis more if I didn't have to worry about
the SD card getting eaten by a dust bunny if I drop it.
And while I heatsinked my Pis unassisted, I'm actually a bit jealous
that you have access to a sighted assistant who's actually
competent... I have a couple of sighted housemates, but most of the
time, I feel like explaining to them what I need sufficiently that
they can actually help is more trouble than it's worth... and even for
the things I don't feel like I need to throw a tutorial at them,
they're almost never available when I need them, and one of them has a
temper that discourages one from asking them for anything unless
you're sure they're in a good mood or it's something time-critical.
Someone you can actually depend on when you need help is a valueable
resource, and one I often feel the lack of stronger than my lost
vision. Tresure it.
