Ran in place watching part of Michelle Obama: Becoming on Netflix instant watch. Breakfast at home: oatmeal with milk, pumpkin pie spice, blueberries, diced banana; water. Worked from home. Sprint standup. Siteimprove linkchecking. D8 layout builder work all day. Lunch: leftover bowties, water. Edited a news story for Levi. Resolved a request from Marissa and Charly for Craik Lab. D8 sprint recap meeting on Zoom with Eric and James. UCSF town hall on Zoom. Dinner at home with Patrick: falafel and cucumber tomato salad in pita, water. Afterwards we watched Amazing Stories s1:e1 on Apple TV+, for which I recently initiated our free one-year trial, $4.99 per month afterwards. Troubleshot problems with the MacBook Air. "Error: 8000000000000003, Cannot load 'EFI/Drivers/TestSupport.efi', Status: 0x00000003" and from "MacBook Pro 2013 - cannot load Apple Hardware Test" on iFixit it seems unfixable so I gave up this line of questioning. PRAM reset seemed to succeed (I got the second chime) but it didn't seem to do any good nor did I need to reset any settings. SMC reset: not clear if it took so I did it twice and it didn't seem to do any good nor did I need to reset any settings. Built an AHT on a USB drive. When I tried to boot from it after holding Option while starting, it scrolled by too quickly. I repeated while taking a video. The video revealed the same error I saw earlier: "Error: 8000000000000003, Cannot load 'EFI/Drivers/TestSupport.efi', Status: 0x00000003". Ran all maintenance tasks in Onyx. Late snack: cherries.
