Wrecking ball - Bruce Springsteen

Ha, coincidence - I just listened to that this afternoon on Apple Music to test out a new subwoofer amplifier. Sublime

Especially as the reason that Brexit passed was that Cameron thought he’d save a million quid by not organising a vote for UK citizens resident in the EU

As a fine diner, I’m voting Labour

Porto is the only city where I was ever pick-pocketed. Look out for gangs of Brazilians on the metro

Well, if you like hills. Cais da Ribeira to São Bento is a bit a climb, same on the other side in Gaia (spent a bit of time there, as kiddie studied at Universidade do Porto)

Seville or Córdoba are super options. Just did a long weekend in Córdoba, Seville same time last year. Wonderful food, history and the Moorish palaces and cathedrals. Not too hot unlike the height of summer

you probably tried this: If your MacBook Pro or MacBook Air is equipped with the Apple T2 Security Chip, try resetting it to see if it solves your bootup problems. The process is simple: hold down the power button for 10 seconds and then release it. Wait a few seconds and then press the power...

Ah, not sure then. I’ve had MBPs from 2013, 2016, 2107, 2019, 2021 and 2022 (and Macbook Airs since then) and haven’t seen a total failure to charge. Apple Store or local approved repair shop sounds like the best bet

This may sound strange, but turn the room lights off and try to power on while looking at the centre of the screen. Do you see anything at all, even if very faint ?

Which year and model MBP is it?

Also - try the USB-C charger into a different port on the MBP

How do you know the charger is good? Do you have another USB-C power adapter you could try?

Speak for yourself. My old man was from that country, which isn’t that far away…
