I collect examples of this kind of thing, and this is by far the most exhaustive list of practical LLM uses I've seen.

It requires:
- "Daily" dumps of customer data
- The "immediate destruction" of any phones a shop comes across that has third-party parts

mastodon.social/@marcoarment/111378730818562981Got Thunderbolt Migration Assistant working!
Had to do half of this: <https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253658404>
- connect Thunderbolt cable to both
On source Mac:
- create Thunderbolt Bridge interface
- assign it a 10.0.0.x IP
- enable Internet Sharing from Wi-Fi to the Thunderbolt Bridge
- run Migration Assistant
On destination Mac, never set up Wi-Fi. It’ll activate over that Thunderbolt shared-internet connection and never ask for a Wi-Fi network.
(This used to be as easy as “connect them with a cable”.)
