Also what's with the magic trick of entering DFU mode by pressing the buttons at a very specific time for a very specific number of seconds? Felt like singing a song to some fictional Mac OS gods and hoping for the stars to align for the laptop to show up in the second Mac. Ah, also the port you use for the USB-C cable matters!! Has to be the first from the left? But why?

Anw, I followed a video by Mr. Macintosh and managed to get mine up and running, whew.
