OS X 10.5.3 murdered my Macbook Pro!
Machinery breaks down, it’s a fact of life, but it was Apple’s latest update to OS X (10.5.3) that murdered my Macbook Pro. I tried asking for help from the official forums several days ago, but the prairie winds can still be heard blowing through the support request topic I created. Not one response.
I checked through other ‘Macbook Pro dark screen/black screen/died after software update’ posts, not all but a fair few coming after people had attempted 10.5.3 updates, and tried some of the solutions offered by other Apple customers. I could find no acknowledgement from Apple that it’s screwed up with its own hardware and software interactions—again—or when to expect a solution. Of course, Apple can’t promise a solution until it owns up to the bloody problem in the first place.
Happy Birthday David
Today is my beloved’s 29th birthday, and the start of his week-long holiday, his first reasonable length absence from that damnable job. He works too hard and is worked too hard, and his boss even called this morning because no doubt the sky has already fallen in, all the computers’ hard drives have turned to syrup, and somebody’s having a baby in the broom cupboard, and it’s a problematic breach birth. Possibly twins.
“Yes please, we’d love you to shit on our doorsteps for the next 20,000 years!”
Just when you thought we needed no further evidence that the Labour government is entirely composed of dangerous lunatics, it is now inviting communities in the UK to volunteer to host a radioactive waste dump.
Local authorities are being urged (not told, so it’s optional) to consult widely before coming forward—which, coming from Labour, with its track record on manipulating public consultations, is like a criminal mastermind telling us all not to commit crimes—and those who do come forward may (not will) win financial support (bribes).
