I'll do a write up later but have an improved ENIAC-tan concept.

Quote from: stewartsage on June 03, 2025, 09:13:59 PMMmmm, her as a doll is fitting what with the "primitive" nature of ENIAC as still being tube based and fairly simple. Much larger scale than GENIAC though, fittingly. The button panels are a fitting detail. Invasive.The doll-like nature of ENIAC-tan could - probably should - be an allusion to ENIAC's relative simplicity, but I also chose it (at Halian's suggestion) to hint at something otherworldly or transcendental about ENIAC-tan. A play both on the revolutionary and one-of-a-kind status of ENIAC, and the walled garden in which it resided (and the proprietary philosophy that it might have passed down if fate hadn't intervened).

Quote from: Bella on June 01, 2025, 08:46:09 PMHonestly ... I would be game if I had ideas. Most of what I know about Windows 11 centers on tightened security, reduced user customization, recording everything the user does, and AI integration, which I feel like you could spin into OS-tan design concepts. (Right off the bat I see her as a dominant and surveilling type. Yandere anyone?) I don't know I want to give myself a headache figuring out how generative AI maps into OS-tan terms though.You know more than I do, but yandere definitely fits that description well.
Quote from: Bella on June 01, 2025, 08:46:09 PMI wouldn't mind taking a stab at post-Mavericks Mac OS X releases. I feel a bit bad saying it but a lot of the newer OS X releases have run together in my mind. I've thought making one encompassing Mac OS X-tan to cover the ARM releases, though I realize that's very against tradition.Once I stopped using it I totally lost track. Although now that we've had an up-close encounter with ARM history maybe...
