DK, I don't suppose you have a simple fix for when a Macbook boots up, shows the Apple logo with a little progress bar, then right before the progress bar finishes, it blows out a puff of air like all the fans got turned to max for half a second, then the screen goes dark for a few seconds before the logo and progress bar appear and the whole thing happens again.
Otherwise I'm going to have to find time during a busy workday tomorrow to call Apple support about my mother's new Macbook that we haven't even actually used yet because we're still trying to migrate everything over from her old Macbook.
Sounds like a typical boot loop. Caused by the system crashing as it tries to boot. I'd turn it off, hold Command-R, and then tap power. You can let go of the keys when it see that it's booting in recovery mode. I'd do a factory reset from here. And if that doesn't work, hold Command-Option-R instead and do an internet recovery. And if that doesn't work, return the system, it's busted. You got a lemon.

KetarCome on upstairswe're having a partyRegistered Userregular
My husband suggested that car charge cables cost so much because they're an obvious point of failure, an obvious firestarter through no particular fault of their own, and most auto makers would very much like to offload that liability on to some third party.
The third parties, being not dumb, charge a lot to protect against this eventuality. Or to gouge what money they can before a lawsuit takes them out.
Or fly by night and sell each batch of $50 charger cables under a new name.
do you mean like, electric car chargers?
they never seemed overpriced to me
certainly not cheap, but kinda have a hard job with no room for fucking up
The level 3 chargers convert AC power to DC and have to carefully control current flow. It's very dicey and they cost $25k and it makes sense. Level 1 and level 2 chargers largely don't do anything. Their entire job is to pass through your house's power and maybe shut it off if the car is naughty. They're two big relays and a multimeter.
We've been perfectly happy just using a 240V outlet and the cable that came with our car. It charges at ~25mi/hr, which is more than enough to fully charge overnight. We've never had a need to charge the whole battery as quickly as possible, so spending extra money for a level 2 charger has always felt pointless.

I dunno.
I guess like, the $750 L2 chargers are a bit of a rip-off, but L1s seem to be around $100 which isn't crazy for a bit of electrical kit that needs to be ruggedized for outdoor use and provide power cleanly, plus all the associated connector bits and just enough copper for the cabling
And L2s that seem reputable drop in the $3-400 range.
I was looking into getting a L2 that'd run off my dryer outlet at my old place and found out that
1. My old 10-30 hot-hot-neutral plug was absolutely out of spec for car chargers which need a separate ground
2. I could totally buy one for $250 on Amazon
So to some extent you're probably paying for the engineering and manufacturing to do things properly. Just cause the software's dumb doesn't mean there isn't a cost floor, especially for an item with pretty low demand.

Alright, Command-R worked, I'm doing a reinstall of Catalina. Thanks for your help!
Trying to move this stuff over has been a nightmare. When I tried doing it using the wifi, it said it would take 36 hours. So we got an ethernet adapter and earlier tonight I connected the two computers using an ethernet cable. This time it didn't even get so far as to tell me how long it would take; it froze at some point during the process of tallying all the files on the old computer.
Maybe the reinstall will help.

Yes, that's what I thought would happen, which is why I had her pick it up at the store instead of getting it delivered. Unfortunately I wasn't able to go with her, so I don't know why it didn't happen, but apparently they handed her the computer and were like "okay thanks bye".
And naturally the Apple store is in a mall, and half the people at the mall aren't wearing masks, so my mother refuses to go back. It's up to me at this point.
Edit: Up to me to make the computer work, to be clear. She's not trying to get me to go to the mall.

It will probably get the new machine working again but I'd be concerned that the exact same thing might happen in the migration process. I would probably risk the migration assistant one more time and if it failed again, I would, with some annoyance, just boot both machines regularly, connect them with ethernet, turn on file sharing, and copy things over manually. Which sucks but the migration assistant always spooks me because even with apple that shit never works.
Well actually the iOS one kind of does but historically, migration assistant type things have a poor track record.

Over the past few months of quarantine I think my wife has only been plugging it in once or twice each week. Her work commute is short enough that it doesn't need to be charged any more often than that, and we haven't driven far enough to need it fully charged in months.

I'm currently doing all the prep work to get a new 240v / 50A circuit installed at my place, a cable run out to my parking spot, and an RV outlet installed. This way I can post up a non-hard-wired outdoor charger with its plug safely tucked into a weatherproof box, and move it if I need to.
I don't even have an EV yet but I'm gonna get the good shit in place.

Surprisingly after googling that image I couldn't find any kind of original image. Seems like Ronan Farrow tweeted it once and that's where it got its life as a meme, but there are a couple of other sites showing the image. Might be real? The book is real at any rate.
Probably not the same copy if the image is to be believed since that one in the collection of Ghent University and the other is stamped by the british museum (though it could be, books do get around)
Edit: I really want to know their method for aligning the text because it’s still kind of crazy that they did that. Will probably never know
My guess is they cut a recess about the right depth into the woodcut then wedged the type in. You can see it's kinda wonky and misaligned so I could imagine a mess of shims holding it in place.
Since we were on the topic of history I started watching this video, was immediately like "Why am I watching this I'm only gonna get angry" and then kept watching it and got angry:
People are always like, "Wow, how did Japan transform from a medieval society ruled by a warrior class, to a modern empire??"
Well because they weren't! Tokugawa Japan was already highly urban (more urban than Europe), with a higher literacy rate than most countries in Europe at the time, the samurai were primarily a bureaucratic class, and the samurai were actually mostly poor - low tax rates meant that farmers and merchants enjoyed an unusually high standard of living - still vulnerable to famines, but it was a complex society. That's the whole reason why the leaders of the revolt to overthrow the class system in Japan was led by... The samurai! Like everything he's saying about the conditions that led to the Meiji Revolution are literally the opposite of what was true.
Also the Opium Wars aren't Britain conquering China, it's opening China to British exports - crucially, to opium. But this was basically the first time the Europeans really had a product that they could trade in Chinese markets, until then it had been all paid for with silver from Europe and the new world. But post-Opium Wars are definitely not colonial wealth extraction the way we'd understand it to apply in places like India or South America. The European powers were still quite convinced that China was the sleeping giant of Asia - you could poke at them to force them into treaties, but you did not piss China off too hard.

Yeah, and a GFCI breaker right there for safety, a 120V outlet for cleaning your car (or for a level 1 charger if your level 2 breaks or you get a second car or something). It's such a good solution, I am shocked it wasn't like, the first suggestion on a million upvote reddit post returned as the first google result for my question of "how to outdoor charger".

Dang when I was browsing level 2s about six months ago they were around $400 and I was getting estimates of about $400 from electricians for adding another circuit and installing the thing.

I have to say I'm pretty bummed that the charger for the new Macbook not only isn't magnetic (that was such a fantastic idea), it doesn't have the little indicator light on it that shows 1) that it's plugged in properly, and 2) whether it's fully charged (green) or still charging (orange).
I get they want to standardize everything to Thunderbolt 3 or whatever, but that was such a nice bit of design I'm really sad to see go.

That's the whole reason why the leaders of the revolt to overthrow the class system in Japan was led by... The samurai! Like everything he's saying about the conditions that led to the Meiji Revolution are literally the opposite of what was true.
Also the Opium Wars aren't Britain conquering China, it's opening China to British exports - crucially, to opium. But this was basically the first time the Europeans really had a product that they could trade in Chinese markets, until then it had been all paid for with silver from Europe and the new world. But post-Opium Wars are definitely not colonial wealth extraction the way we'd understand it to apply in places like India or South America. The European powers were still quite convinced that China was the sleeping giant of Asia - you could poke at them to force them into treaties, but you did not piss China off too hard.
Yeah, and a GFCI breaker right there for safety, a 120V outlet for cleaning your car (or for a level 1 charger if your level 2 breaks or you get a second car or something). It's such a good solution, I am shocked it wasn't like, the first suggestion on a million upvote reddit post returned as the first google result for my question of "how to outdoor charger".
So Im kind of exhausted.
Edit: this is a contemporary portrait of the man Ken Watanabe’s character is based on
The resemblance is uncanny
Just hearing "It's Quiet Uptown" makes me break down crying. It's been nearly a week, Ath, stop it!
I’m claiming false advertising- I can get 3 maybe 4 servings.
Why are things getting more expensive as I'm getting poorer.
I get they want to standardize everything to Thunderbolt 3 or whatever, but that was such a nice bit of design I'm really sad to see go.
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
This time I unchecked about 100GB worth of folders to transfer, about half the storage on the old computer.
So now instead of 36 hours over Wifi, it's 3 hours over ethernet.
Now to just cross my fingers and hope it doesn't fuck up over the next 3 hours...
This is a super neat idea for a cross-stitch project (or whatever that is, not sure it's technically cross-stitch?) and I love the execution too!
don't be stupid, Macbook, that's impossible
