And so the futility of captured computing continues. I would love to write software for the Touch Bar that runs when I shut the MacBook down .. it'd be quite useful for some things, I imagine - such as using it for a remote control for other equipment I own.

This is huge! Does anyone know if Apple is able to ship updated software to patch this? I thought the T2 was fairly isolated from the rest of the system. If it’s not easy to fix OTA, this will be really painful for security.

Excited to see what sorts of things people build from this though! Would be cool to run a mini OS on the touch bar when the rest of the system is powered off.

If you follow the links you'll find https://checkra.in/ which gives you a dmg download - however the release notes don't mention anything about a T2 jailbreak. I would treat this with skepticism.

The tweet is legit though

and jamiebishop123 is in checkra1n's "made by" list.
