It’s "Mac OS", not "macOS", or even "MacOS" (which is the title on the actual page).

That said, this is some serious wizardry. I wish I had one of these to play with.

Correct, in the blog post it is about Mac OS.

Apple’s own style guide says to use the name of the appropriate release: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/applestyleguide/apsg72...

That’s anachronistic. For example you’d say macOS Tahoe but Mac OS X Leopard and Mac OS 9.1.

And going back a little further, I believe it was "System 7.5.5" etc. until Mac OS 8.5 or so?

the "two face" logo.. the reference was, the logo could be a single face, or a face in the distance with a second as profile in front. IIR

Reflection of the happy user's face on the monitor, engaging in pleasing human-computer interaction.

While we are on the subject it is also worth pointing out additionally:

When saying Mac OS X, it’s pronounced Mac OS ten, not Mac OS ex.

"Mac? Oh, Sex!" is how everyone pronounces it. Very few people "properly" say Mac Oh Ess Ten.

No, that's what perverts do with the Darwin native executable format.

Pre-OS X (what actually runs in the blog post) it was Mac OS. Then, it was Mac OS X. The first version styled macOS was 10.12 Sierra in 2016.

The HN story autoformatter changes titlecase on well known terms, which I'm betting is what happened here.

pjmlp2 maanden geleden

Yeah, but then you have about 5 minutes time to change it to whatever what you want.

Yeah, I assumed as well.

This is correct, and interestingly enough in one of the screenshots, the OpenFirmware prompt says "To continue booting the MacOS" too.
