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.

Ohhh you definitely want to be running TimeMachine backups in macOS. It's run from the system settings app, and once you connect a freshly formatted drive it will likely suggest that you use that drive.

It backs up your entire system and data, then makes hourly versions, and keeps long-term weeklies. You can restore individual files or rather easily restore the entire backup.

It’s one of the few things apple does really well.
