DB's just spouting chatgpt shit now is he? How surprising...

My last Intel Mac would do that BridgeOS crashout occasionally too. I
never tracked down a reason and Apple never responded to my Radar posts.

Temperature runaway I'm surprised at, the intel chips have onboard
sensors and thermal management should have throttled that long before
overheat so something very wrong must have been going on. Given that,
I'd do an SMC reset since that's the watchdog that'd cause the reboot as
well as the device that's *supposed* to manage the heat.
