Towards (reasonably) trustworthy x86 laptops [32c3]
Watched this one yesterday as well. This seemed to me more like a promotional pitch for their "secure" OS.

The OS site is disappointing, lots of marketing mumbo-jumbo and not a single mention of why it is better than any other Linux distro. And no mention of Linux at all, but I doubt they wrote their own kernel, so it is either Linux or BSD. Lack of technical documentation on that site is just appalling.

THE SAFEST COMPUTER IS ONE THAT IS POWERED OFF.

Unfortunately, a computer that's powered off is just about useless.
