He's wrong, it's possible. It's just that root privileges alone is insufficient due to how the signing on LocalPolicy works on M series Macs

The manpage for the command provides information on credential usage on Apple Silicon devices.

I'm saying the primary gateway most iOS users are using for loading a QR code - the camera app - will not present a transition to load your URL in this situation

Whether the resulting HTML game is playable in Safari is a different discussion.

The QR code, as generated, is effectively "not clickable" for most iOS users, unless they are using something other than the most common way to read QR codes on their phone like a 3rd party QR code reading app or similar.

data: URI URLs aren't supported in it, it has nothing to do with the size / length of the QR code

For example, this self-contained webpage: <html><body>Hi!</body></html>

encoded is: data:text/html;base64,PGh0bWw+PGJvZHk+SGkhPC9ib2R5PjwvaHRtbD4=

If you paste that into a browser, it will render "Hi!". Very short and easy.

But if you encode is as a QR code, it won't work in this situation.

Runs buttery smooth on my M2 here in Safari on macOS 14.2.1

Tried them out in Chrome and they're mostly all the same though I do notice a slight jitter to the rendering in the smoke example.

In 2016, that laptop also came with System Integrity Protection - you couldn't change /usr/bin/python if you wanted to. And you still can't to this very day. Changing System-provided python was always against recommendations in prior OS versions because the next OS update could re-replace it at any time.

I agree that it probably contributed to python 2 inertia as it was re-exposing people to the idea that "typing python in the Terminal gets me python 2" and "I just used what I already had" - but it definitely wasn't stopping people installing a newer version.

That being said - python 3 was released in 2008. A 12 year transition is pretty respectable.

Why does that make a difference?

If it's a signed response, at some point there's another piece of code that checks that the signature is valid and returns a yes/no.

I think the reason Apple's sensor was mentioned in this instance was due to how Apple handled storage and usage of biometrics as described in here https://www.apple.com/business/docs/iOS_Security_Guide.pdf

Compare that to, say, other laptop vendors: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/product_security/len-15999

Look at --timestamp in codesign here: https://developer.apple.com/legacy/library/documentation/Dar...

By default, this is currently enabled, as noted here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11712322/error-the-times...

You have to go out of your way when signing an app on macOS to disable timestamping in current OS versions.
