YubiKey for FIDO2 Auth on WSL2 (Ubuntu)

What?

I got my hands on a new YubiKey 5 over the weekend. For those unaware, this is a pretty well-known security key which provides options for hardware authentication using a variety of different protocols (e.g. FIDO2, OpenPGP etc.). I was keen to try this out for authenticating with GitHub and also handling SSH credentials when accessing servers I'm running on my local network.

The problem however, is that I'm a pretty heavy WSL (Ubuntu) user and needed something which plays well in that environment. I didn't think about it too much when I initially ordered the YubiKey, but worked out over the weekend that getting a USB device (particularly a security key) to play nicely with WSL, isn't exactly straight forward. So, I did a write-up of the steps I ended up taking for others (or myself) to refer back to.

Open Google Meet links in Google Meet Chrome app on macOS by default

I you prefer to have Google Meet links automatically open in the official Google Meet Chrome app on Mac with its own Dock icon instead of in a browser tab, this is the way to go:

Step 1: Setup Chrome App

Install the official Google Meet Chrome web app by:

1. Navigating to meet.google.com
2. Then either clicking on the install icon (computer screen with downward arrow) in Chrome's address bar or on "⋮" ▸ "Save and share" ▸ "Install page as app"

Step 2: Create AppleScript Proxy App

Introduction

Apple restricted the access to Xcode LLM (Predictive code completion) feature on China models of Mac. This guide provides a way to bypass that restriction. It's verified on macOS 15.0 Beta (24A5264n), but there is no guarentee that it will always work on later macOS versions.

Prerequisites

• Xcode is installed and run at least once.
• SIP debugging restrictions are disabled (via csrutil enable --without debug command in recovery mode).

1) Exact regex — Matches major model identifier numbers based on Apple's knowledge base article (more accurate):

^(Mac(1[345]|BookPro1[5-8]|BookAir(9|10)|Pro7)|iMac(Pro1|(19|2[01]))|Macmini[89]),\d+$

2) Current or higher regex — Matches model identifiers based on Apple's knowledge base article and may match higher versions before this regex is updated (more future-proof).
