Cyril would end up on a Cerritos grade ship or a garbage scow. And Pam would be head of security

I like to think technology is so advanced that security features are impossible to implement because penetrating them is trivial.

I am your worst nightmare... RevolutionOS! 😈

I will say I think the way this movie talks about communism is... a product of it's time. 😬

You may be surprised how many companies fuck up implementing basic IT security measures.

So in this regard it is very realistic.

Maybe all of their computers were compromised by the government on purpose like ours.

It's a federation spaceship. They work for the government.

No, it's really so writers didn't have to work too hard to come up with storylines that a late 20th century TV audience would be able to understand.

In the 24th century, all computers use prompts anyway.

No, I dont like to think that because really something about writers?

They thought NOBUS (no one but us) rules applied just like our government does now.

But he needs engine mommy to help him restart the warp core.

You don't get to choose it though, that's why there's no way in hell I'll remember. Unless it happened to be easy that day and I used it multiple times

Geordi’s literal prompt that one-shotted Moriarty: “Computer, in the Holmesian style, create a mystery to confound Data with an opponent who has the ability to defeat him.”

The most unrealistic thing about Star Trek is that the engineering team are in charge of the computer. That's why nothing never works, those guys hate the concept of passwords.

They don't think it be like it is but it do.

Turns out the FBI as well.

They do, tho. It's just we usually see events through the lens of characters that have admin access. Or are badass enough to hack them when they don't. Or both, like that episode where Data goes rogue and sets the longest lockout password ever.

But then he has to say sudo prior to that! 🤔😜

Yup. Star Trek is the Odyssey set in space. Everyone wants to pretend it's science fiction, but it's actually more fantasy than science.

If you aren't setting the password, how are they sending the password to you?

Seems like they may not have a very good concept of the point of a password.

And they use biometrics on everything, Data did have to speak in Picard's voice as I recall.

There're multiple layers, I don't wanna give too much details lol. But basically things like, assigned computer, office network, phone or physical multifactor keys, etc.

I'm ok with everything except the generated password because it's a hassle.

I was looking for this.

It's a post-scarcity society. The acquisition of wealth and the resulting theft are not a thing anymore.

The Ferengi computers probably have 2FA.

your description sounds like those authenticators that change every minute, but for every day instead.

don't tell them about the authenticators that change every minute some idiot is going to get an idea

i just decided when i programming language i'm renaming sudo to fucking.

>do [program]
invalid command or syntax
>fucking [program]
[appropriate output]

just feels more fun

IIRC at least one ship-threatening holodeck malfunction was the result of enhancements made by the Binars during a system overhaul, which is like Google having unsuperviised contractors work on their live site. Apparently the Federation has no concept of dev/test/prod environments.

You mean like, cars with small engines have trouble on steep hills, so the writers had to make smaller hills - I get it now!

Very hard to get headphones that fit Ferengi on a station run by hew-mons.

To be fair, wasn't he attempting some kind of acoustic calibration that required the music to be played out loud?

until they don’t?

like saying you dont need seatbelts

but i do like optimism in my trek, i just chalk it up to tv logic

Let's fucking go!!!

the borg also has no security on thier ships, unless they start seeing them as assimilate or as a threat.

There's that authenticator for mfa too, so they know lol

1 – 7 – 3 – 4 – 6 – 7 – 3 – 2 – 1 – 4 – 7 – 6 – Charlie – 3 – 2 – 7 – 8 – 9 – 7 – 7 – 7 – 6 – 4 – 3 – Tango – 7 – 3 – 2 – Victor – 7 – 3 – 1 – 1 – 7 – 8 – 8 – 8 – 7 – 3 – 2 – 4 – 7 – 6 – 7 – 8 – 9 – 7 – 6 – 4 – 3 – 7 – 6

Lock.

Yes, but I'm talking about after he lost his leg, not the baseball card. He kept listening to the Vic recording and eventually went down to the club. But if he did have cans, he never would have stayed with Vic nor learned his valuable life lesson.

Nor ear buds, I guess.
