Have they tried turning it off and on again?
My face when i realize i can make Matt Berry Trek crossover memes:
A stately amount of jiggle if ever there is
The other end of the phone call:
Given that with 2009 they started to have windows on the bridge… yeah I hope that the computer core(s) don’t run Windows.
They don’t, but they still have the Blue LCARS of Death.
Probably red hat, enterprise edition
No no, the Enterprise runs on Bynari gibberish.
We could be in a holodeck episode, where they’re running windows, and the crew gets stuck on a monorail that got the security update but blue screen, trapping them between two stations. There’s an emergency where life support’s been knocked offline and oxygen is depleting rapidly, but they can’t leave the holodeck because they can’t reach station until they figure out a way for data to remotely boot the windows computers and disable the crowd strike bricked machines… But, while data is interfacing with the computer, somehow it detects the rest of the ship as a plug-and-play device and initializes the ship, bricking the ship with a weird time distorting hardware abstraction layer…
Now the real question, in the holodeck when running windows: do they fully emulate the silicon?
INT. DEEP SPACE NINE - OPS
Chief O’Brien, a middle-aged man with a no-nonsense demeanor, is working at a console. Commander Worf, a stern and disciplined Klingon, enters the room.
O’Brien looks up from his work, visibly concerned.
O’BRIEN Commander, I’ve been analyzing the cause of the outage we experienced last week.
Worf nods, waiting for O’Brien to continue.
O’BRIEN It appears that the outage was caused by a new Federation directive to incorporate a Vulcan security protocol that uses algorithmic harmonic heuristics to disable new threats. They call it Comprehensive Redundancy and Overwatch Defense System for Threat Response, Intrusion Detection, and Keyless Encryption. Always had a blunt approach to naming…
Worf’s eyebrow raises, surprised.
WORF A Vulcan security protocol? Crowd… strike?!? That is unexpected.
O’Brien nods, looking over the console screen.
O’BRIEN Yes, it seems that the new protocol was untested and incompatible with our current systems. The result was a cascading failure across all ship systems.
Worf’s expression turns serious, understanding the implications.
WORF I see. We must inform Starfleet Command of this issue immediately.
O’Brien nods, already drafting a report.
O’BRIEN I’m on it, Commander. I’ll make sure to include a recommendation for thorough testing before implementing any new protocols in the future.
Worf nods, approving of O’Brien’s initiative.
WORF Good. We cannot afford to take such risks in the future.
FADE OUT.
I thought it was canon that LCARS is based on Hannah Montana Linux
No, but Galactica does
