Reminds me of how i used to run Minecraft on a school computer trough this software on a USB stick i brought to school. Good times.

You can do similar things on Linux as well, but there it is easy to fix by setting `noexec` on /home.

A more accurate way of saying it is "machines you don't have admin rights on". As a standard user, you can still run pretty much anything from anywhere. There are ways to lock this down, of course.

Good luck shipping a machine in 2022 that either

(a) doesn't have a Web browser, or

(b) has some way to ensure the code it's running is not from a site where the user wrote all (or even just some) of it
