I don't get this comment, modern PCs still undergo POST and motherboards have gotten progressively better at displaying POST outcomes (from beep patterns to seven-segment onboard displays).
Macs have POST rituals, detailed (alongside other boot routines) to an almost extreme extent in this article.

And the pun in the headline being 'The Last Post', the bugle call played at funerals. (To American ears, it may sound like a slow mournful version of 'Taps').

#9I'm surprised the article didn't tell how to run diagnostics on an M1 Mac:
Shut it down, hold the power button until you get a screen with some buttons, hold down Command-D until it brings up a diagnostics screen, and answer a couple questions (your language, run local, etc.). Then it takes a minute and posts results. And lastly you click Reboot.

#10Earlier quoted context omitted.
Right, in this case what does the OP mean by POST? The HTTP call, or something else that’s with the same acronym or spelling?
What do you mean "what does the OP mean"? It's literally the first sentence of the article...?
I think he's referring to where OP said "but not in the literal sense"
