I get you, but I think at a certain point if we’re relying on it being properly implemented and a large group isn’t then I’d say we’re back on denuvo as the party at fault for not addressing it and preventing it.

It sucks, but we have to expect and plan for when people are stupid to a point because that is always going to be a key source of failure.

This is a fun thought experiment and I’m kind of surprised Discovery didn’t do something like this with holodeck tech in the “future” since the writers weren’t afraid to do other tech-taken-to-natural-conclusion like tiny phaser transporters (or whatever those were).

They kinda did, they just didn’t go into detail. There were ships that were made entirely of holodeck at the new federation headquarters in discovery season 3ish, we just never got beyond being mentioned briefly and people going ‘Oh, thats cool’.

They didn’t go into depth at all, don’t believe we even have one with a name, but they talked about seeing federation ships made entirely of ‘holographic containment walls’ in Discovery Season 3. Pretty sure it was when they first arrived at federation headquarters in the future.

There was also that ship in insurrection where it was just one giant holodeck, but still existing inside a regular ship. The concept just hasn’t made it into something that’s broadly popular in the mainstream trek fandom.

Surprised that the first go to isn’t the tiny horse attached to the back of the main one or the fact that the astronaut also has no feet.

Wow, I didn’t know that was an option, I thought we did 4k, then skipped to 6k and 8k. What’s the actual resolution on that thing?

Not sure if this is optimistic or not, I feel like it’s going to suck for awhile until we just don’t trust anything digital ever again. There will just be an assumption that anything digital is not real. We’ll go back to “If it’s on the internet, it must be true” being a joke. Also not sure if that’s a good or bad thing.
