A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I think the history is such that a "PC" is a computer compatible with the "IBM PC" which Macs were historically not and modern ones aren't either.
But I still like "Windows computer", we can abbreviate that to "WC".
Another complication was that DOS-using machines weren't always running Windows at one point in time.
