The speech is about software (and laws) not being able to properly limit software, and that as long as we have “General-Purpose Computing” (aka. PCs or hardware/computers that you have access to) we will not be able to properly limit software. Cory just didn’t think as far as the solution 15 years later being to move the hardware on which your software runs away from you.
It is quite tragicomic how we went from mainframes and terminals in the 60’s to GPC/PCs in the 90’s and now are moving back to cloud (aka. mainframes and terminals but on a global scale).



Jup. I think I’ve had some 3 actual issues the past 2 years on EndeavourOS. But the Endeavour team did a good job of warning me on Discord/RSS or at least provide tutorials and explanations afterwards.
One of the issues was in regard to Grub (fixed by Timeshift rollback and a one-liner), one was in regard to some rogue Nvidia bug crashing the login window (fixed by Timeshift rollback and waiting a few days before updating again), and one was Nvidia removing support for GTX1000 cards and older (Nvidia, WHYYYYYYYY?!).
For reference, I had what felt like similar annoying bugs (and much worse) on Windows 10 about every month, but without any useful support from Microsoft. :(
EDIT: speaking of the devil. A fourth issue just popped up.
