The easiest way to "disrupt" the shipping industry is probably through software. Cheap and reliable software is loved by everyone. There are ships out there, military ships, running very old software. But even when new, some would say especially when new, software bugs can quickly render a ship unusable.

>> The technician tried to digitally calibrate and reset the fuel valve by entering a 0 value for one of the valve’s component properties into the SMCS Remote Database Manager (RDM). The RDM program then attempted to perform a division operation by the valve property; a divide-by-zero arithmetic exception was thrown, not caught by the program, and the RDM crashed. Since other Smart Ship systems were dependent on RDM availability across the LAN, these other SMCS components including ones controlling the motor and propulsion machinery began to fail in a domino-like sequence until the ship stopped dead in the water.

I think it's Apple only because OP made this on an Apple M1 and that's all he intended to support.
As for OCR on Windows, there seems to be that functionality available on an OS level: https://medium.com/dataseries/using-windows-10-built-in-ocr-with-c-b5c…
There's a Power Toy that uses it, which is where I found out about it. I have no idea how it compares to Live Text or how good it is.

Vector Symbolic Architecture (VSA) is the European name.
Base is Pentti Kanerva's 1988 book, "Sparse Distributed Memory". Now referred to as "HDC" or "HD". Search Pentti Kanerva now Staff Scientist at UC Berkeley Redwood Center for Theoretical Neuroscience or Mohsen Imani, now UC Irvine former at UC San Diego.
