Proof the cable management is optional and doesn’t have an effect on the computers ability to work
Spoken like someone who’s never had to replace a cable in a long run
That’s an effect on your ability to work, not the computers. The computer still doesn’t care.
Is cable management actually bad for computers? If it make the wires 10% longer to accommodate the aesthetic shapes we like, then that’s 10% more time it takes for the 1s and 0s to reach their destination. I guess what I’m saying is my lack of cable management is actually a productivity hack
Cables out of place can limit air flow and make things warmer, causing more failures. It is easier to snag a cable by mistake when doing other things. It is also easier to grab the wrong cable when in a hurry.
There are levels to cable management, and the Borg manage cables poorly.
more downtime while you go looking around for the bad cable maybe, but probably not a problem for the collective mind of the borg as they can just remember
The Borg don’t have that problem. Every drone knows everything the hive knows and the hive never forgets. Therefore every drone knows which cable to replace, should the need arise.
It’s nice having a bionic eye that is directly connected to an Enterprise Content Management system which has schematics and engineering diagrams for:
-
Aforementioned cables, terminal blocks, pigtails and splices, homerun cables, and associated electrical and instrumentation loop diagrams
-
Piping and Instrumentation diagrams for all ship systems, including revision level document management
-
Plan and structural drawings of each Cube, with calculations
-
Environmental/equipment qualification documentation
-
Certificates of Compliance from Hive manufacturers, tracing materials back to their original source. These would also need to confirm to Hive QA programs and traceable Hive-wide standards, where applicable.
-
Indexed and catalogued maintenance work orders
-
Legacy documentation from previous species who were assimilated
-
Indexing and cataloguing newly encountered species’ technology and uploading it to the database
Also the eye would be Augmented Reality so the drone can tell exactly what it is just by looking at it.
You make it sound as the hive is the perfect engineering job you’ll ever have

Ah so they’re running in RAID 1 then. That’s a lot of data to transfer if they’re all constantly updating, definitely recommend upgrading to fiber-optic.
Not RAID 1, its more like disturbed storage with redundant copies. You dont need all data to be on all discs if you replicate it enough times in geographically dispersed areas.
The borg uses discrete cubes scattered across a galaxy, which is solid.
Nobody replaces “a cable” in a long run.
The only two actions available are to add a cable, or to replace an entire nest of them.
As long as you know where it starts and where it ends you can just pop a new one there and let the old cable be absorbed into the rest
Or trust me I have. Imagine if you will a house from the 1930s with the internet cable running from the opposite side of the house as the router. However the wire is deliberately put through as many rooms as possible on the way to the router and super glued into place as though it’s fine to trip on a wire 5 times to get to a room.
Yall need an attic, a crawlspace, or some outdoor rated cable and some siding cable clips.
Some acetone on the hilariously glued cable should sort it out afterwards.
Replacing a cable in that mess is a lot quicker than having to undo dozens of cable ties though.
I like cable managing, but it takes up a lot more of your time.
Depends how on reasonable they are, if they’re just long cables and dangling on the floor it doesn’t really matter except for aesthetics.
It most definitely has an effect on my mental state!
Cable management doesn’t matter if:
- You only care if it works
- You have the accumulated memories of trillions of prior drones, including the ones who built that mess in the first place, so you already know what each cable does and where it goes.
I built the mess under my desk, that doesn’t mean I know what the cables do any more.
This dude just admitted he’s not a superior species

I’m fairly sure that I have more cables now than I started with. I’m afraid that if I cable manage them I’m going to create some kind of paradox.
A starship would more similar to a mine than a server room. What if the hydraulics pipe is broken and needs replaced, but the electric line and compressed air hose are tangled around it? Even with perfect knowledge and memory it makes the repair last longer.
You only care if it works
If you can’t maintain it it won’t work forever
It’s for when they run out of regeneration alcoves
Also, has anyone ever noticed that the Borg don’t have printers?
Want to destroy the Borg … just patch one 2000s era Epson Printer with a shitty software driver to one of their ships and watch all hell break loose
Calm down there Satan
No species deserves to be genocided by faulty printer drivers
I see you refrained from using a modern HP.
Obviously they treat the knowledge as the thought virus it is
All those cables are exactly where they were supposed to be!
DO NOT TOUCH THEM!
Their cable management used to be fine.
The only answer is Borg enshittification.
Ah damn. They must have assimilated some publicly traded tech companies.
Anesthetics are irrelevant.
You will be assimilated. (and forced to wire things as directly as possible because that is more efficient as long as it doesn’t hinder future endeavors)
Do you mean “aesthetics?” Or is spelling also irrelevant?
Perhaps the borg are savagely ‘plugging’ things into various orifices sans anaesthetic. They truly are evil.
I can excuse forced assimilation, but I draw the line at poor cable management.
You can excuse forced assimilation?
(I want you to know that I tried to add an image of Shirley reacting, but it failed 4x, so you’ll have to use your imagination.)
Speaking of failed images, I can actually see your memes from lemm.ee now! Not sure what changed, but yay.
Well hot damn!
I haven’t changed anything either, so we must owe a thank you to someone somewhere.
To whom it may concern,
Thanks!
It’s for dramatic effect
They’re such Drama Queens smh
They must have assimilated some theater techs.
That would explain the lighting.
Maybe those cables are decorative and reminiscent of the Borg’s sense of aesthetics. I mean, look at their goddamn fashion sense.
That’s true, they are drippin (in cables)

No, you’re getting very good ratings on Borg TV

When your mind has the power of the Borg collective, you don’t need silly inefficient structures to make it easier for the human mind to handle.
Neither spaghetti cables or spaghetti code are a hindrance when there is brutal efficiency to be had.
Aww this made me check and there is no /cablegore on Lemmy yet 😕
Create it
That’s a pretty realistic depiction of every server room I’ve ever been in.
The Borg are played up to be this hyper-advanced ruthlessly efficient hive mind, but they nearly never act like it. Case in point: Seven of Nine has two tits and one eye.
If it ain’t broke, don’t adapt it.
