Many Macbook Pro models from 2016-2020 have a "TouchBar". A lot of these start to malfunction after 2 or 3 years. Sometimes the hardware locks up, and when the macbook wakes up from sleep and fails to re-initialize the touchbar the system simply panics and reboots.
This utility hooks into the "sleep" and "wake" notifications that macos sends,
and on wakeup it simply kills the TouchBarServer process. That's often
enough to fix hanging TouchBar hardware - unfortunately not always.
The fix-touchbar utility should be run with setuid-root priviliges. Unfortunately,
macos doesn't allow setuid executabled anymore, so that doesn't work :(
For now, it has to be started manually after login with
sudo ./fix-touchbar -bg
Run a seperate daemon as root which is responsible for killing the TouchBarServer process. Maybe an XPC service
