Cross-platform native C executables? Sweet.
"Cosmopolitan Libc makes C a build-once run-anywhere language, like Java, except it doesn't need an interpreter or virtual machine. Instead, it reconfigures stock GCC and Clang to output a POSIX-approved polyglot format that runs natively on Linux + Mac + Windows + FreeBSD + OpenBSD + NetBSD + BIOS with the best possible performance and the tiniest footprint imaginable."

MacBook Pro 16 (latest Intel, 2019 model, purchased in September 2020), meticulously maintained. In 2021, I handed it over to my wife, who keeps it on her desk, while I handle its management and maintenance.
For the past couple of days, the battery has been acting up. I've tried all the standard procedures (reset SMC, etc.), but it seems not to charge.
According to MacOS, everything is fine, but in reality, the battery seems dead.
Is it possible that an Apple battery dies after less than 3 and a half years and only 80 full charge cycles?
My very old MBP 2009 and MBP 2013 still have some battery life left (more than I would expect from such old machines), and yet this one dies like this?
The estimate for replacement: 289 euros.
This seems like a crazy situation.

I can't get a Mac Mini 2018 to go into recovery mode. Apparently I'm not alone; there are quite a few web pages about it.
One web page claims to offer six ways to fix it. Number 1 is to try again. Number 6 is to reinstall MacOS by first booting into recovery mode. 2 through 5 aren't very helpful either.

Mensch kommt selten darum herum #Win & #Mac im #Business zu nutzen. Meistens stelle ich fest, dass da eine komplizierte Regeln für das nutzen von #Software vorhanden ist. Nicht das sie Unrecht haben aber da wäre zB @chocolatey, #Scoop oder @homebrew doch eine rel. simple Lösung für die Admins. Kennen fast keine #IT-Fachmenschen, weil es kein #Microsoft Produkt ist?
