A very Happy Halloween to all those who celebrate with Tricks and Treats.

Me and Mom at Queen’s Rhapsody Tour

I just can’t even. I don’t know a way forward right now. Half an hour just to get to recovery mode, and this result on a clean volume. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

That was quick. Erased volume. Trying internet recovery again.

If I don’t get anywhere tonight I’m going to recycle it at Apple. No one needs this kind of trouble. Re-erased and attempting Monterey reinstall. If that doesn’t work a third time, I will give it termed recovery one more shot. But that’s all I have.

Try, try again. Erased volume and recovering from on-machine recovery partition. I hope.

Welp. That didn’t work, either. “An error occurred installing the update.” Okay

I have an Intel MacBook Air with TouchID. I have never had a Mac that was so resistant to updates. SMC and PRAM resets at a minimum. Disks that won’t unlock, this time. Recovering now with new volumes and a clean installl.

Ugh. When the progress bar goes back up in time.
