Hello --
Regarding "appliance-ization" (locking down / dumbing down) of
commercially-available computer systems, and returning to the history of Unix (in the
context of our current era), I am reminded of Ken Thompson's (excellent and humorous)
panel presentation at the ACM Turing 100 conference I attended in 2012, imagining Alan
Turing being brought to our time and given a current-generation computer system, etc.
The webcast links for the "Systems Architecture" session, etc., on the
main conference site, https://turing100.acm.org/, seem to be broken, however the video at
this link works for me:

(Ken's part starts at ~0:09:28.)
Cheers,
