You must be new here.

One thing I'd like to ask (and I think this comes from my bad understanding of crypto in general):

Obfuscating the code is fine but at some point I would assume it'll need to be de-obfuscated/crypted to cleartext/IL/ASM or similar to be run. Surely then exploits in the hardware or a badly-configured environment would lead to this being true? Meaning this is rendered to the same level of pretty much everything else?

previous attempts at iO were built on untested and ultimately shaky foundations.

"Barring a really surprising development, these assumptions will stand," Ishai said.

Honestly, it sounds like this is quite some arrogance. I mean, they've taken a fundamentally different approach to this and it's impressive in itself. But the industry is littered with stuff like this. I give it two years, maximum. I mean, shit it's 2020 - the poster child for Really Surprising Developments.

At my local, they have one sub-section of refridgerator devoted to this stuff:
Typical Tesco Fridge

This section is a part of an aisle with maybe 10-15 sections on each side, 2-3 aisles for refridgerated meat. As someone else pointed out, it's not usually busy and the last to be emptied when there's a rush.

What's not mentioned is the cost of this stuff. Compared to meat, it often seems expensive and given the lack of f**ks the British public give when various celebrities and others try and push them to "high-welfare" chicken and other more expensive but "better" meats I don't think this will get much traction unless they look at the pricing. Checking pricing (Cheap Plant Burger) , (Cheap Beef Burger) shows that there's a £1/Kg difference in favour of the meat. They'll need to clear this hurdle before it's even considered by the volume market. At the moment it's firmly in the "finest" category.

This. Oh for some mod points, I'd have sent one this way. FWIW, I think we'll see concerted efforts to reclaim unused addresses or blocks. It'll take some serious hurt to governmental and corporate wallets before any meaningful change happens.

Half-Life 3, Confirmed.
[Of course this only works if folks mod so that score remains at three...]

The easy way out of this is not to shop Amazon. Yep, that's the easy thing to say, but for me, a few pounds more with ebuyer or dabs and I know there's no dicking around like this...

Unfortunately most folks nowadays are so shit-scared of someone bigger and more powerful coming along and "stealing" their idea, leaving them (the inventor) in ruins, it might be their only perceived way of protecting themselves and their invention.

Or pedestrians, other vehicles, buildings, street furniture, pedestrians....

I think that if the user can't figure out how to use ctrl+alt+del, it's not a problem with the software.

Why not? If you couldn't work out how to start your car, would it be your fault? It seems to be what you're implying...
There's too much reliance on the "User is always wrong" approach in producing software and interfaces for it and that if they have a problem, they should just "deal with it". Consumer devices that take this approach just generally fail to catch on. If something says "Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to begin", they _might_ get pressed together or they might be pressed sequentially. Stuff like this gets missed out time and time again.
