Does Thunderbolt in Migration Assistant just… not work anymore?

Got 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”.)

@marcoarment I.. didn't need all of this when I transferred data like 2 weeks ago.

It all just "worked” by connecting USB4 cable. I didn't even use a TB cable. (It recognized as “Thunderbolt", funnily enough)

@kudokun
USB4 mandates Thunderbolt with some optional benefit excludable.
