It was interesting to hear he never saw red star OS. From the recent link, I was under the impression that red start was the defacto OS of DPRK.

And the have their won TLDs. (top level domains) .web sounds cool

I don't think you watched too far into the talk :)

He spends a while demonstrating Red Star OS in a virtual machine.

Grandparent meant that he did not see anyone else use Redstar as a main OS. So even though he could obtain it and use it, it was not a popular operating system in North Korea as a whole.

Of course, perhaps Redstar is the de facto OS of workplaces or perhaps military operations.

No you misunderstand. He's referring to not seeing RedStar in use DPRK.

For me the interesting part was the tablet he brought back from DPRK. It contained 70+ books with their leader' speeches, but they somehow customized the Android so it is not possible to extract them :D

Good talk, but I wish there was a deeper dive into what it was like living and working in the DPRK. For folks more interested in that, check out this great talk from HOPE last year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_HXPm-PN1g

a probably very different person from the speaker has since released RED STAR OS 3 as a torrent.
