Yeah but the season 3 finale took it to a new extreme

the cruel irony is that the only reason that Kelpiens are even spacefaring is because Discovery intervened the previous season, in that regard Discovery caused the burn

Discovery also seems to employ the dimensional technology that the pod from the future employed on Enterprise, being much bigger on the inside

Found the millenial

millenial? Some of us are now in our forties. We grew up in the format wars

The header photo suggests at least 4 room mates tho?

People who hate them have never driven them

I hate when people try to write technobabble like that. It has a logic and if you have watched enough star trek it starts to make sense.

Then JJ Abrams comes a long and has Butterbeer Crampleslice tell us life support system is behind the aft nacelles. Even the first few seasons of the new Trek shows did this crap until they brought on science and Canon consultants

Things like androidpay/apple pay type functions require a chain of security checks, on Android it’s levels of safety net. some banking apps require similar

Before the rise of Android and ios I’d have said it was possible, but the goal posts have shifted pretty far. Unless something backed by a corporate entity or government rises Up, it’s a no. A chromeos type thing for smartphone is not going to happen for mass market, because there is already Android.

Discounting Android, the last mile of what a smartphone is capable of can not be accomplished in Foss manner, without end to end verified OS images and some kind of secure enclave for banking and “security” features, carriers and banks are not going to get on board any more. Convenience features like DRM video streaming, casting also probably are not achievable either
