He means that ASCII table has an actual character that represents end-of-text and that terminals respond to with SIGINT, and it is ETX character, 0x03.

The Control modifier on your keyboard basically clears the top three bits of whatever ASCII character you type, leaving the bottom five and mapping it to the 0..31 range. Ctrl+C sends 0x03, which is exactly ETX.

Look at the ASCII table for a clue, this is why it was a convenient thing to do.

Just straight up overwriting boot sector and superblock of my hard drive thinking it's the USB drive.

Udev tried to warn me, saying there's no permission, and I just typed sudo without thinking.

Then after a second I remembered USB block devices are usually writable by users, but it was too late.

Advanced Linux sound architecture

I tried intune on Linux and it was hell incarnate, with edge dependencies and ton of background services, and crashing every now and then.

Did it ever get better with time?

We spent 1 year negotiating implementation of secure Linux workstation, and now after endless meetings and agreements I can proudly say we have 5 people with fully GNU/Linux laptops! Dell XPS, to be precise.
