Computer Science in the DPRK [video]
- brainburn 12y ago"uhhh". Makes it really hard to watch this.
- kayman 12y agoIt 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
- christop 12y agoI don't think you watched too far into the talk :) He spends a while demonstrating Red Star OS in a virtual machine.
- tinco 12y agoGrandparent 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.
- msane 12y agoNo you misunderstand. He's referring to not seeing RedStar in use DPRK.
- christop 12y agoYeah, fair enough. Though I seem to recall (I was at the talk) that the speaker didn't get to see much of North Korea anyway.. but I'd have to re-watch the talk to be sure!
- gii 12y agoFor 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
- tdicola 12y agoGood 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 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_HXPm-PN1g
- taknil 12y agoa probably very different person from the speaker has since released RED STAR OS 3 as a torrent. http://pastebin.com/cHAzyTE7 http://pastebin.com/cHAzyTE7 http://www.northkoreatech.org/2014/12/30/red-star-3-0-desktop-the-install/ http://www.northkoreatech.org/2014/12/30/red-star-3-0-deskto...
