Technologically challenged.(update)

About a week back, I made mention that I was in need of hard starting MacBook because I had let the battery die.

Note, I was the immediate problem child, by being lazy.

Un-uh! Wasn’t me. Something else the matter here. I haven’t been using Macbook that much, but I have been noting the charge light being on and I have been firing the beast up every other day or so.

Today, no love. Won’t start up at all. Says battery is dead, but won’t show charging, only ‘Full charge’ on charger end. And my old charger is deaddeaddead, so I can’t cross check to see if there is an issue with the current charger.

Power button only pulls up image of dead battery, then off.

Frustrated as heck with this brick on my desk. Only one good thing of late. EVERYTHING has been getting backed up before shut down. Either to a “post” on the blogsite hindscene, or in email posts to myself between gmail accounts, or thumbdrive. NOTHING is getting left on this drive only.

Gonna let the charger run awhile (even though its been showing charged/charging all weekend) and see if a hardstart will kick things. (again)

I do not want to buy another computer. Not with things the way they are right now.

My Tuesday is a Muhnday. sigh

More laters. LLLLL!!!

Update: something wrong with the Chinese made charger. Seeing how ALL of Apple chargers and products are chinese made, don’t see much solution other than getting another and crossing my fingers. Macbook DID charge up and fired right back up, so its not a ‘PICNIC’ error (problem in chair, not in computer.)

One thought on “Technologically challenged.(update)”

Tech can be fantastic – but when it goes t’s up, it’s the worst thing around! ‘Fraid Mikee ain’t any hep on that Mac critter – I’s strictly a windoze dood. Is the battery accessible – or dealer only? If’n it’s accessible & ya wanna just replace it, lemme know, I can likely hep.

Excellent idear ya got about the saving! Can’t be too careful – gotz my backup program running 5 days a week to an internal 8tb spinning disk (yeah, I know it should really be a usb external). Also does incremental, and a full backup as well.

L’s!

Y’all take care,
Mike in FLA.

WINGS OF CHANGE

What happens when a wounded veteran, a computer genius, and a handful of fiercely independent misfits decide that the best way to change the world is to stop waiting for someone else to do it?

G has spent years flying from a wheelchair, learning to make the sky obey him even when his body won’t. T is a computer wizard with a mysterious past, an enormous extended family, and a talent for turning impossible ideas into working machines.

Together, they build things that shouldn’t exist.

Aircraft that push the limits of what remote flight can do. Technology born in garages and workshops instead of corporate boardrooms. And a community of people who have decided that family isn’t necessarily something you’re born into.

But building extraordinary machines attracts attention.

Soon G, T, and their growing family find themselves caught between government agencies, competing agendas, and people who would very much like to know exactly what they’re capable of. What began as tinkering and experimentation is becoming something far more consequential.

Because when you build something powerful enough to change the rules, eventually somebody comes looking for the keys.
