Re: the start up tone. I learned that lesson pretty early - sneak in your major change - the one thing you really want - at the very end of the design process. But you have to be sure.
Was at Eric Clapton concert last night. He opened the show with a solo electric rendition of “God Save the Queen”. Well received by the crowd, many actually understanding it wasn’t “My Country ‘tis of Thee”.
Regarding Number 3, Hackintoshes don't produce a startup tone because there's no boot ROM process to execute. However, enough people were disappointed by the lack of that chord when OS X was launched by the Clover bootloader that someone created an optional process to launch a fake startup tone using a D-major chord, perhaps to avoid any remotely possible legal hassle.
Hacks that run macOS 11 use OpenCore, which, so far has no optional startup tone, which is fine by me.
I'm one of the people who love your choices - enough of the time. I wouldn't have the patience required to sort the wheat from the chaff, so thank you.
Had been passing the TTs posts by but succumbed to the first one here. Nice, but of course one properly sings the National Anthem in honor of the reigning Sovereign: so if it was meant as an act of mourning etc for Elisabeth it was a faux pas. Still, nice, and I'm sure sung with the best of intentions.
Watching the man talk about making the Apple start up sound made me think about Mike Post, who wrote some of the best TV theme songs, but also did the "dun dun" sound in "Law and Order".
I really liked #3 because I love learning about the history and background of things which have become part of our daily lives. I especially enjoyed learning that the screen shot sound was a real camera, Jim Reekes's personal Canon AE-1, because I use that function all the time. Thank you, Jim Reekes.
#2 was funny and instructive because it demonstrated that very young children are not blank canvases and

The baby's got it down. Nobody's gonna mess with him in the sandbox.
The others? meh.
Your boob or a dissonant climate. Choose!

#1 should be taken down. Calling Charles III a queen?
Never owned an Apple product so #3 zzzzz.
Go with #2.

That baby was hilarious. Such an... adult gesture. It reminds me of the core humor of Peanuts.
The others are also enjoyable.
#1: Nice vocals but could you wear something more appropriate.

I would say that baby's playing to the camera
and then I was like
oh wait, it's a baby
if the baby's playing to the camera, that's awesome!
Robert De Niro for sure
or maybe Joe Pesci
