MAYBE you could make an argument if my Mac screen was in vertical portrait layout all the time, you could begin to argue in favor of the thought process behind the current design.
But without that, with a landscape-oriented Mac display, the argument just isn’t there, so the thought process doesn’t make sense.
This is all before you even brain storm actual UI design ideas—the base-argument is invalid.
NBC has a show called “The Nightly News”, and from 2017-2021 the writing was completely insane and the main characters were basically cartoonish villains, but it was hard not to watch. There were tons of other viewers and an ungodly number of fan sites online to discuss the various sub-plots and characters.
By early 2020, one of the 2019 sub-plots went completely viral and millions of people didn’t even leave their houses.
In late 2020, one of the main characters was voted off the show and it became a whole “thing”. The writers, ultimately, didn’t really remove the character—just minimized him to a series of courtroom B-stories, and the occasional fan-service appearance.
The show is still on, but I think it must have different show runners these days.
The base already uses a coal/oil plant for 33 megawatts of power. The micro nuclear reactor would augment 5 megawatts to start, with expectations to expand once up and running.
Uh, huh…and you call it that despite it obviously being a style of design and fashion that combines historical elements with anachronistic technological features inspired by science fiction?
