Didn't work here, just a bunch of colored squares on Safari, Chrome or Firefox. The latter actually managed to hang my machine. I could ssh to it but kill -9 wouldn't terminate Firefox. Had to force reboot the machine, haven't done that in years.

Amazing and scary, this WebGL thing is.

iMac 2011, latest OS

Edit: worked on MacBookAir

Sounds like some dodgy graphics driver on your old iMac

> old iMac

I object that qualifier, if you don't mind :)

It's not old for a computer, but it _is_ old for an Apple product (which is very unfortunate).

How so? In my experience Apple products outlast their competitor by a long margin. All my Macs have lasted about 6/7 years, meaning, being used everyday with latest software for paid work. Most still boot and work today, but are impractical.

Same with iPhones, usually stop using because lithium batteries have a 4/5 years life span.

For a 2011 product I guess we're arriving in the 6/7 year zone :)

Yes we are. I have another already configured in a tab just waiting for me to have the courage to press buy :)

Worked fine with Safari 10.1.1 for me.
