Mum Tries Out Red Star OS 3.0 (2012) - [North Korean OS]

[@jrdavis1992]

Try having her disable RedStar OS's security system and literally switching the language to English.

[@TechDark]

i'm pretty sure the redstar os is modified so it doesn't work

[@TheInfi]

it works. also, the stuff with admin perms is bullshit, a simple terminal command gives (a way to get) root access.

[@Jake1702]

Even if they did set it up like that, it would be similar to Android in a sense. Anything can be hacked or exploited, you just have to find the right way.

[@macecail]

--It would break the OS--

[@T3KNUG3T5]

You can actually just open the ISO and in the syslinux config just change the language to en_us. Its not too hard. Its just Linux

Hello Victor Tran how are you I haven't seen you in a while.

[@SupaKoopaTroopa64]

It's because North korea has different words for things than South Korea. North Korea Removed all words that aren't Korean in origin.

[@kl2275]

The Google translator is based on South Korean, which is a little different from North Korean.

[@Sleaxel]

[@chickeninabox]

Because, we are programmers?

[@raaymonf]

[@5up3rp3rs0n]

The reason some words appear weird like electronic hydroxyl is probably because of the vocabulary difference between North and South Korea. North Korea prefer words that are either from Chinese, Russian or pure Korean origin so some of the words may be made up just for North Korea. Google translate doesn't distinguish them two (yet they do for Chinese so lul) so translations are expected to be off, even for simple words.

[@haxalicious]

This would most certainly be a bad idea to use unless it is in a network isolated VM as who knows what spyware is on it.

[@TheInfi]

There is none, but there are updates.

[@TechOff]

Ok but how could the spyware be sent over to North Korea if they don't have access to the internet and OSFirstTimer doesn't have access to their intranet. I doubt the North Korean government would need to be able to access their spyware through the normal internet as no citizen in North Korea would have access to it in the first place.

[@a.wright281]

𝗜𝗧𝗦 𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥-𝗡𝗬𝗘𝗧, 𝗚𝗘𝗧 𝗜𝗧 𝗥𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧.

[@Matt92Machine]

It's linux based, so any spyware that might be on it isn't going to run on windows.

[@trix8272]

Red Star OS actually can be switched to English by manually renaiming the language folders, so you didn't have to use it in Korean.

[@unarei]

they know that

[@fabian6514.cr3]

Trix he probably knows that because he said that Diana will try out it in its native language

[@yaseg6291]

This is true because North Korea copies all operating systems and they have the English language on it because they copied other operating systems. OSFirstTimer knows this but they challenged Diana to use it with the native language.

[@Connie_TinuityError]

MarioCraftingCat Yes, Operating Systems systems.

[@Inkydink]

I know, but I specifically requested for Diana to use it in Korean because it would be a challenge for her.

[@clock4883]

[@TurboWafflz]

Who else wants to download this and try to bypass the monitoring/restricting software?

[@Jake1702]

There is a way. It's easier for us because we have access to other Linux distros that we can live boot and modify files from. In North Korea they don't have that so actually hacking it would be incredibly more difficult.

[@GRBtutorials]

Jake1702 Yeah, and they also don’t have access to necessary knowledge either, plus being under surveillance doesn’t exactly make it easy to hack without someone arresting you.

Did you know he's not the only one who can help you? I can as well, because believe it or not, I am actually blind. Well, not blind, but rather, have a visual impairment. I've used Screen readers with Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS, so I can even help with mobile.

Also, instead of changing the desktop background (obviously because you're blind and can't see) I would just replace the task with customizing the voice settings.

My windows 10 died for the second time for me, yet my other computers running xp, vista, 98, linux, 7 work just fine. I strongly dislike windows 10. At least windows has a sense of humor, "we care about your privacy" and "it won't take long" what a joke. I'm on my trusty windows xp, on a pentium 4 with 1gb ram from 2002, yet windows 10 doesn't work on my laptop from 2016.

[@windowselectronic1016]

Microsoft is constantly updating W10, too, so there was a release in 2015, and then another in Q4 2015, then another in 2016, another in 2017, and another is coming in Q4 of 2017. They clame they will do this every March and every September.

New from Apple: Mac OS North Korea edition. version 69.420

[@calleha01]

The Arabic numerals are used in China and Japan as well. They're preferred in a lot of cases since the traditional number system isn't as convenient. Think of it as the difference between using the Arabic numerals and spelling out the numbers in English. English: 2　two　|　3419　three thousand four hundred nineteen Chinese/Japanese: 2　 二　 |　3419　 三千四百十九

[@Samtell]

Uh ok? Is that not obvious

[@Yep6803]

tbh im from italia and origially our national numbers were romans, we learn commonly arabic numbers and italian standard numbers are arabic but most of our 1900's roads still use romans numbers and for example Mussulini used roman numbers. so not neither in italia is so obvious having arabic numbers as main numbers...in whole european latin based countries in burocracy and street numbers is still more common roman numbers instead arabic numbers. only the most recent houses use arabic numbers.

Actually Red Star OS is designed to be used by DPRK government workers, and even there is not that popular (in recent news from KCTV we can see some factory running Windows XP). Mostly North Koreans use Chinese copy of Windows XP/Windows 7. Sometimes you will see their own Linux distribution created for example library/school connected to Kwangmyong (DPRK's Intranet). They are even reports of Windows 10 activations, but those are computers used by foreigners living in Pyongyang. Smartphones in DPRK (Koryolink network) are 100% on Android with access only to Kwangmyong and you cannot install any apps on them. You can learn a lot about their software by just watching videos from people living in Pyongyang, travel vlogs from DPRK or even their own propaganda (Korean Central Television) ;)

[@Tom-kt8lu]

I have known a number of North Koreans over a significant period and discussed their country's situation with them in detail. I am not a socialist, and before I learned about the DPRK I had a viscerally negative reaction to it. I came to discover many things about the DPRK and its people. Above all, they just want to be left alone to pursue happiness in their own way. Their national philosophy, the "Juche-ideal", is one of self-reliance. They are almost all true believers with an undying faith in their mission. They do not want to be "liberated". They are a polite, thoughtful, generous and sincere and courageous people. They know more about how we in the West live than most of us realise, and they couple this with a canny understanding of human behaviour. If you want some insight into North Koreans, I suggest the documentaries A State of Mind and The Game of Their Lives. It's unfortunate that this comment on an OSFirsttimer video is not about the OS, but neither was most of the video ...

[@Yep6803]

yeah but in Buthan they do it too...the result in Buthan is pretty different so sorry but North Korea ISN'T a good example while north korean could be a good people too!!!
