100%, this is unfortunately what I've found, the vast majority of cables I've purchased so far are not genuine silicone

My time at RC has genuinely changed my life. I joined my first batch expecting to dust some rust off after being in management at my last gig, and found a community I will cherish for the rest of my life!

If you looking for community in tech I can't think of a better place.

Thanks! Yep author here -- you can fully reformat with `restorekit restore` or just restore the firmware (retaining the user disk) with `restorekit revive`. This is what apple calls these two different actions, but I found the naming a bit confusing when I first started looking into this too.

Open to any suggestions on how to make this clearer!

I've worked at a few places where windows was the default machine (including for IT) and macs were only issued when requested or required. A lot of times the IT folks are forced to use a macbook simply because they need one to recover and reset their fleet of macbooks. I've also seen companies forced to ship a whole new mac out to employees in locations without an apple store when a simple reset would have solved the problem. I think this sucks. People should be able to repair their mac without needing to own another one!
