This is amazing!
If you’re feeling nostalgic, grab the Win95 screensaver here, and plop it in C:\Windows\System32

Works on Win 10 and 11. Still jitters exactly as expected heh.
Linux users have clones available
Aren’t screensavers executables? That’s some security nightmare if it still work on Win11.
It’s not like this particular screensaver can load data, so it cannot be made to do bad things with malformed data or something. The security nightmare is only about finding a trusted copy of the original 32 bit SCR file. (Not the 16 bit one, which also exists.)
Windows asks for admin approval before copying it into system32. So you probably can’t do this in a corporate environment.
“What happened we dropped out of warp, report!”
“Sir, something moved the mouse”
“Commander, why is the main viewscreen only getting 21 FPS?”
“Sorry captain, I had the starfield set too high while we have a Chrome tab open.”
It seems like we are trapped inside some kind of endless labyrinth!
I hate to be THAT guy, but…. That’s not the helm. That is Ops!
Damn it, but thank you for being that guy, lol
I even questioned myself before submitting that title, did a quick google, and figured either that was the helm or both stations up front are collectively referred to as the helm.
The results that misled me…
…now I have to stealthily edit the title.
Yeah, there are various episodes that establish that different functions can be transferred to different bridge stations over the course of TNG.
I think when Data is piloting the ship from his old seat in PIC S3, that is what is happening, in universe.
And then the panel goes full BSoD while the view screen claims it needs to update drivers
Well, this certainly explains Starfleet’s legendary opsec.
Warp the fuck out LMFAO!!!
This is one of the best!
At least there aren’t any flying toasters.
