Comment on If you own an M2 MacBook Air or MacBook Pro there’s an update for your cableparent

That's what I was about to ask. It says that the cable should update itself transparently, but there can always be a chance of corruption. Maybe the cable keeps the old FW and only boots the new one if it is signed.

Presumably there is space for two copies of the firmware, and once the new one decompresses and checksums correctly you update the firmware-start pointer.
