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
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
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.

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