That's running purely in usermode, and nothing was broken in this demonstration, the touch bar is being used "as intended"


Exactly. This would "in theory" allow Doom to be running outside of the "prescribed parameters".


So the monsters would actually leave the touchbar. This sounds really risky, folks

can we run text mode doom over ssh mayhaps?


Back in the days, we had bootsector games. In the future we will have TouchBar games running before even the OS boots.


A legit application would be a rather awesome (and secure) way to generate a new private key with human generated randomness. Or perhaps a puzzle that you have to solve before your computer boots? The possibilities are endless!


or at least get the macOS loading gauge to the touchbar ;)
