must be Monday

Argh. It’s possible I’ve bricked my laptop. It said there were updates available, I told it to install them overnight, all very standard stuff.

Then I woke up this morning to a message saying the updates failed, and to restart my computer and hold down the D key to run a diagnostic. Did that, message said the diagnostic failed, computer turns itself off.

Turned it back on, got a spinning globe and a message saying it was attempting an internet reset or something, followed by a message saying *that* failed, with an apple support code that the internet doesn’t think exists. (3403D)

Thank goodness for internet-connected phones.
