Macbook Air only boots to Macintosh HD/Options screen.

Hey all, I'm not entirely new to Mac stuff, but I'm also not great with it. I do tech support at a University and I've got a Macbook Air here that will only boot to the Macintosh HD / Options screen. Selecting Macintosh HD only reboots and comes back to this screen. Holding shift to boot into Safe mode does absolutely nothing when I click the button. I've tried reinstalling Sequoia a couple of times and that hasn't made a difference either. It's like it's not being told to boot from the hard drive.

What other options can I try? Thanks.

How to kill an active program?

Hey all. I have very minimal Linux/Unix experience and I've been handed a device at work where all I need to do is change a web address the device is pointed to. The device simply displays which person in line is to be served next and it's auto booting to this screen. I've tried all the things Google says to do to kill the active program but none of it is working. I have no way I can find to access a command prompt. I can't escape full screen. I can tell by the BIOS that the main drive is running some version of Ubuntu. Is there some other hotkey combo like Windows' Alt-F4 that I can use? Or is my only option to do a full fresh install of some other OS? The original configuration was done by a company called Esii if that helps. There was one thing that indicated holding or tapping in a corner of the screen to access a background function but all that does is reveal a text link labelled Start that just goes back to the main screen.

Sorry if that's all confusing or a mess. It's early. Thanks.

Why are my support seams doing this? How do I fix it?

For some reason my seams on my support are buggering up like this. The right, mostly vertical side is where the seam is, but I have no idea what the jagged side is doing. I've tried adjusting seam settings but that doesn't seem to affect supports. Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Can Mateo show up anywhere now?

This is the first time I've seen Mateo not be at the end of a route. Can he be anywhere on a route now? Or is this just some glitch?

Elegoo Neptune 4 printing oddity

Anybody have any idea what the heck is going on here? The middle purple one is my latest attempt and it's got this weird stepping thing going on. Both purple ones SHOULD look like the orange one but at seemingly the same point in the print, it starts shifting over for some reason. And yet as you cam see with finished purple one, at some point it decides to just keep printing fine again. I don't understand what's happening so have no idea how to fix it.nany ideas would be great! Thanks.

Bad step counts

So last week I either walked 64.4km, or a little over 14,000 steps. I'm pretty sure the 64.4 is the more correct value. I'm also pretty sure 64.4km is a few more than 14,000 steps. The week before I walked about 72km but my steps were only around 15,000 or 16,000. Anybody know how to fix this issue? The other values seem to be pretty accurate.

Elegoo Neptune 4 Pro thumb wheels fell off, now keeps driving nozzle into print bed!

Hey all. So, I set up a print last night before leaving the house. When I got home, all 4 thumbwheels had completely fallen off, and my print was ruined. You can see the failure in progress.

I can see maybe one falling off if I hadn't checked in a while, but certainly not all 4.

But whatever. I put them back on and proceeded to start the leveling process. While the nozzle heated up I went to the kitchen to grab a snack. While there I suddenly heard an absolutely horrible noise coming from the printer. I ran back to see what was happening and it seemed the printer was trying to lower the print head but the print bed was in the way! All I could was turn it off. Now there's a deep dent where the print nozzle was driven into the bed. Fortunately I didn't have the printing plate on so that hasn't been affected.

But the hell is going on? I'm afraid to do anything else now. I tried using lock tape but putting the thumbscrews back on just pushes the tape around. What else can I do to make sure the thumbscrews don't fall again. How do I run the leveling process without destroying the printer?

Any ideas are welcomed. Has anyone encountered this? Thanks.

Is there any point in doing raids of common Pokemon?

Is there any pint in wasting g a raid passes on a common pokemon that can easily be caught in the wild? Like this Machop is a raid for me right now, but I've been catching them in the wild so is there any point in wasting raid passes (just a normal one even though the screen shot shows a remote, definitely not wasting a remote on that!!!) on these Pokemon?

Phone gets hot when playing Pokemon Go

Does anyone else deal with the phone getting really warm while playing? Mine gets warm enough that when I try to use the camera I get told my phone is too hot to use it. Does anyone have any good ways to keep the phone cool? I've been looking at ice packs but a lot of them don't give dimensions or don't seem small enough for a phone. If I can find a decent size pack I might use that with a specially designed 3D printed case for both phone and pack.

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S21 FE and it has all available updates installed.

First noticed this last week but figured I'd wait till today to investige further.

I caught a Scyther and was given the option to add it to a nearby showcase. Habitually sent it to the professor as I backed out to see where the nearest Showcase was.

There is no Showcase within sight of my position!

I did catch a Pinser that let me add it to the Showcase so I did. I suspected showcases aren't visible until someone adds something to it so I figured I should see it now. But no. There is still no Showcase within sight.

I checked the pinser I put in and it showed me a location I knew. In this screenshot, the Showcase it got added to is WAY past that yellow gym in the distance.

I'm on a university campus, why is there no Showcase here? Seems lame. If this is the closest Showcase, that's at least a 20 minute walk for me just to get to it. Isn't that rather far?
