A MacOS 26 bug bricked my $3,700 Mac Studio - here's how I miraculously got it back

A ZDNET article describes how a macOS “Tahoe” upgrade on a new M3 Ultra Mac Studio resulted in a black screen due to a known installer bug related to the Apple Neural Engine driver, preventing normal boot and recovery mode. The author explains using Apple’s DFU Revive/Restore process with a second Mac and the correct DFU USB‑C port, noting that Revive and Restore initially failed but the machine eventually booted after power cycling. The piece advises caution with the Tahoe upgrade, suggests seeking Apple Store assistance if uncomfortable with DFU procedures, and criticizes releasing updates that can brick devices.
