As much as I hate it, I think it makes business sense for vendors to solder. You can "upgrade" by buying new. I can't imagine the business value of such a laptop - esp now that hardware improvements are slowing down (for the typical use case)

containers are implemented via cgroups (and others) and share the kernel. I presume with a unikernel, you'll not be sharing the kernel, obviously.. So concept of a "container" is there and probably the orchestration via kubernetes is all still valid up the stack, so it makes sense to call that "containers" still.

Programming generally provides people with a lot of power. Either in access to data or obviously code. In that, there is a lot of trust requested and given. I know lots of enterprises add a lot of "scans" and "checks" and limit things to much complaints to remove the "we trust you" from the equation, but still you can't scan for everything.

The open question is how much trust do you want to give? Of course, 2nd, 3rd, 4th chances are awesome and all - but in reality; as a company with lots to lose. 1. reputationally 2. financially

true, if tech is the only goal. but I would choose to be lower tech in this case. But perhaps my choices would affect those who might come after me... (That too is both ways though).

Some might bring up all the medical advances that came out of the tortures and "studies" from Japan and Nazi Germany. Certainly many advances were made... My friend once told me that there are certain medical "study" records available that US researchers reference from WW2 in Japanese records.
