Only a month after my post An easier method to put a MacBook into DFU mode, Timothy Perfitt has one-uped himself.
Over the weekend Perfitt shared his latest app, DFU Blaster, on YouTube and Mastodon.

A few months ago I was invited to be a guest on the MacAdmins Podcast to talk with the crew about Apple Business Manager. I’ve been listening to “the pod” for years so I was honored to be asked.
October is busy with playoff baseball but the scheduling worked out and we recorded on the ALCS travel day after Game 2. So of course we talked about baseball photography a little as well.
It was my first time as a podcast guest but Tom, Charles and Marcus made it easy plus James did a great job editing out my flubs!
macOS Monterey was released between when we recorded and when it published this morning, so some of the new features we talk about as “coming soon” are now available. MacAdmins finally have the ability to add off-the-shelf Macs purchased at retail into ABM using the new Configurator for iOS app!
Hopefully we answered some questions, shed some light on potential pitfalls and provided helpful information for anyone who uses ABM or needs to set it up for the first time.
