No one under 35 will understand the joke.
Well then, as someone under 35 - can someone please explain?
The window displayed in the screen is the configuration dialog for the "Flying Through Space" screensaver in Windows 95: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RcLJJ5GOXg
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
Can't wait til we see the Enterprise's main view screen full of flying toasters.
"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.
I used to stare at that screensaver for so long as a teenager. And I wasn't stoned.
Slow to fast, but what about Ramming Speed™?
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.
At least there aren't any flying toasters.
Wrong franchise ;-)
Warp the fuck out LMFAO!!!
This is one of the best!
