I rewatched Wall-E the other day. I forgot just how staggeringly good that movie is. How the hell does every single robot have their own personality. Not to mention how everyone that Wall-E interacts with ends up for the better, after a lil chaos, of course. I cried so many times. I'm 33.
Walle had the Apple startup chime when he recharged
Apple 2 vs. MacBook
Early-2000s PowerMac vs. MacBook
Steve Jobs was involved in Pixar Animation Studio
True. It was also an extremely commercialized capitalist dystopian future. I doubt Linux was being used, and there’s no way Microsoft could create something with WALL-E’s long uptime and low maintenance.
I think Wall-E wasn't running the base OS anymore. All the other Wall-E units had long since stopped functioning. Wall-E was the result of a random mutation of a bug in the code, not the intended normal state.
Companies taking advantage of Linux to create locked down, proprietary systems is pretty common. For example, Android is Linux. Many smart TVs run some flavor of Linux. E.g. Tizen from Samsung is Linux based. If a company can short cut the software development process and licensing costs by using Linux, that's often a first choice. So, my bet would be on Wall-E running on a version of Linux.
The dystopian part would be that the company locked it's drivers behind a closed source model, and only included highly obscured binaries on Wall-E's OS. Motors and controllers would be non-standard, requiring closed source firmware and the hardware would refuse to work with any software which isn't signed by an original manufacturer's digital certificate. Using an unsigned binary would blow a fuse in Wall-E's CPU, killing him.
I think it was just an Easter egg.
Whoops, you almost mentioned that it's not actually Microsoft making the computer, they make the OS. While Mac makes the exact same but a little worse hardware that can only use one specific os that also reports everything and demands updates to start
While Microsoft is primarily a software company, they’ve been making CPUs and AI accelerators for several months now.
Also, by all accounts, Apple Silicon outperforms every other SOC on the market.
Yeah, it was a warning against Apple and that was the nod to it.
