"The first was a classic 'have you stayed awake until the end of the keynote?' moment. Sovereignty enthusiast, Andreas Prins, had his presentation gatecrashed by a Chromium interloper: an Adobe Acrobat add-in that popped up to warn that 'another program on your computer added an extension that may change the way Chrome works.'"
"The demonstration required attendees to scan a QR code on the keynote screen with their smartphones. Except it didn't work out that way. Attendees encountered a rate limit error, and there was no sign of a progress chart on stage making this exercise more failable than scalable."
"Basil later explained to The Register what went wrong. 'The rate limit was set too low ... because we were just demoing it.'"
SUSECON in Prague featured notable presentations on sovereignty, edge computing, and AI, but was marred by technical difficulties. A presentation by Andreas Prins was interrupted by an unexpected Adobe Acrobat warning, illustrating the complexities of sovereign systems. Keith Basil's demonstration of new capabilities from the acquisition of Losant failed due to a rate limit error, preventing attendees from seeing the expected results. The event concluded with a surprising celebration that startled the audience, emphasizing the risks of live demos.
