That’s great analysis except for one detail… what progressive policies?! Like ceding the “border issue” to the republicans? Like backpedaling on fracking when they needed votes from PA? I voted for her because she was the only option but in no universe was her campaign progressive.

And, this cannot be overstated, fucking stupid.

Not that you’re wrong, but you can clearly see Bing in the screenshot lol.

Isn’t that essentially what the Zoom CEO was suggesting a few months ago?

The impression I always got was Borg personal shielding could only “adapt” to one weapon type or modulation at a time, and so each encounter was kind of a soft reset.

Possibly post-Wolf 359 all Federation hand weapons come stock with a rotating frequency, or a unique pseudorandom phase variance and the first few shots get through before the local Borg adapt to that phaser.

Had the Borg stayed a threat the Federation would probably have developed a phaser analog to the transphasic torpedo, but I get why the shows never did that.

It (in theory) prevents signal tampering of any kind, which would include injecting advertisements into the stream.

Are you familiar with the concept of a captive market?
