When you say it “never” gets past the logo, what value of never are you talking about? In my experience, the Dell BIOS can take a long, long time to scan the motherboard for hardware changes. Maybe let it sit at the logo for a lot longer than one might think it should take.

Also, I’ve heard that this can happen when the CMOS battery dies.

In any case, the fact that it gets as far as the logo is a good sign, in that the power supply, motherboard, CPU, video, and BIOS are all working.

True. It’s a matter of how you spin it. I mourned for WaPo when Bezos bought it, as I saw the writing on the wall. The journalists who stayed may have intended to keep the culture of good journalism alive, but by this perspective were just providing a veneer of respectability to a propaganda outlet, which is a form of compliance.

Either way, let’s hope that they land at one of the new generation of journalism outlets that’s springing up online.

Bend the knee to the fascist regime, still get laid off. Awkward!
