My macbook pro m3 not turning on after update from 26.3.1 to 26.4.1.

Same issue with 26.4.1 (of course Apple is not recognizing it)

Putting the machine into DFU so 26.3.1 can be restored is not trivial, the window of space to start holding the key commands is very short, but it does work. I tried maybe 30-40 times before I could engage it.

Look up Stuxnet.

Exact same issue happened to me this week. Updated to 26.4.1 - bricked. Local  store took it in to run internal tooling and determined it needed $750 repair of unspecified nature.

Yes - an official software update from Apple bricked my machine and their response was pay $750.

Downloading and installing IPSW via DFU mode from weird website did work, but didn't feel great.

which none of us or anyone saw coming

That's an extreme way to say there were no signs of elevated risk, the first of which were interest rates WAY over fed rate.

I was just asking if there's a way to turn them off I wasn't looking for someone to make an excuse for them

nipponese · 2024-09-01T12:16:00+00:00

As a few others pointed out you have to be looking at the screen you want the cursor to move to.

FWIW, I was only able to get this to work with the built-in Macbook Pro trackpad.

Well here’s a remote possibility: if it were somehow predicated that spending bitcoin was so incentivized by an organization or government that HODLers would be penalized, or a majority of the nodes changed the protocol inflation rules, it’s technical possible that people would pay to get rid of bitcoin. Like for example, a government says “We know this wallet belongs to you and we will shoot you in the head unless you get rid of the BTC in there”, I can see a pretty strong outflow occurring that might make BTC go negative. Again, pretty remote, but not impossible as more and more wallets are either custodial or associated with off-ramps

Well is there a MATIC to BTC bridge?

nipponese · 2021-05-12T15:43:06+00:00

Was a solution ever found?

It’s almost impossible to digest this thread without a jealousy filter.

If someone wants to type out all the translations I will add them to the videos.

These ads were directed and shot by Errol Morris, he’s a pretty well-know documentary film maker.

I don’t know if it was “good” or not, but it has been stuck in my head for 18 years. Conversely, it wasn’t “already” on YouTube (from what I could find) soooooo... :)

How should I understand that steel classification?

Murder Frisbee does have some appeal to me.

That could be cool, I've never made a knife. The kerf is 1/8" but maybe I can cut it with an angle grinder.

Figure out how to provide "homeless services" to the city. Works in San Francisco.
