What would happen if you tried to play the movie (which I assume loads the subs and parses the commands — maybe) on a Mac or a PC running Linux? The article says PowerShell and it mentions Windows dependencies but I'm not sure it requires a Windows system.
I feel like my Macs would ask permission before running the code (Macs ask permission a lot, or straight up say something isn't going to run, you have to go into Settings, Security to make it run). I feel like Linux boxes wouldn't be as susceptible as Windows, either.
I'm not gonna try it because I'm not as sure about restoring a Mac system as I am with Windows. Relatively new to this system.
This is not an issue on Linux or Macs.
Even on windows, if you play the movie (so M2TS with external audio and subs), you would simply get subtitles with the PowerShell code as subtitle text at one point.
They are way over hyping this issue.
