Product placement in StarTrek

ITS OVER! STARTREK IS FINISHED!

Fuck you Rick Berman


>Hewlett-Packard Enterprises gleefully announced on Monday that it has been working with Paramount over the last few months to “develop three conceptual technologies” for Star Trek Beyond, the latest in the new Star Trek movies.


If you thought the Nokia shit was bad enough, wait till you see this shit

That's what happens when you pirate everything.

If you Trek nerds had paid for tickets to the last two movies this wouldn't be necessary.

that means they fired actual product designers or engineers to come up with space lasers and shit, in return for putting star trek shit in HP commercials

also there was product placement in ST09 anyway

>Finally, Mister Spock. We have begun our Star Trek Beyond, brought to us by Hewlett-Packard©.

Space communism fails again

i think this is the only kelly cartoon that's actually serious and not ironic

the Enterprise bridge already looks like an Apple store

ha ha wow that was fucking horrible I want to die

Do people really think the Nokia part was that bad? It wasn't a big deal.

HaHAAAA gene you just got blown the eff out!

>hp is relevant 200 years from now
kek I thought they went out of business

JJTrek takes place in an alternate universe where mediocrity and plebeianism are upheld as holy

I really hope memory-driven computing takes off and is successful because frankly as an electronic engineer I can tell you we've got fuck all else on the horizon. FinFET might buy us another couple of years but with the IoT rolling out we're looking trouble right in the face.

smart for HP to get into making props for Scifi movies because then it's fine that they dont fucking work.

time to start designing IoT devices, fucko

tell me about Quantum tunneling

leaked image from the production screener

What about it? It's essentially responsible for the ceiling on miniaturisation since operating on a sufficiently small scale to fit more transistors in a given unit area than the current cutting edge brings quantum effects into play. A transistor is a switch, if electrons can tunnel from one side of the switch to the other regardless of whether the switch is on or not then the switch no longer functions as a switch, you can't use it to build logic gates. If you want me to talk about the phenomenon itself, fuck if I know, I'm not a quantum physicist.

I read the wikipedia page after a thread on Sup Forums and im losing it.

WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE MAN

Quantum computing has some merit but it only really applies to certain kinds of algorithmic behaviour. At the end of the day we've reached a plateau with current technology, there's some interesting offshoots in terms of how the semiconductor materials are arranged but it's all basically the same shit. Really I think unless we have a paradigm-shift sometime soon, like memory-driven computing might turn out to be, we're going to have to start making some serious innovations in terms of the firmware side of things, improving efficiency by how the hardware is managed rather than just making better hardware, if we're going to sustain the projected increases in required data capability.

HP did those shitty Star Wars laptops last year too lol

They'll do any cheap product tie in

There's still products in communism except the people own the means to produce them, not rich tycoons.

Star Trek isn't really communism anyway.

Yes, because Star Trek takes place in a society that is full on socialist on the verge of a full proper Marxian communist society.

An important part of Star Trek is that Capitalism is long gone after it led to WW3 and humanity has moved to a new and better system of egalitarianism and eradication of poverty and unnecessary labour over all else, humanity has moved passed capital accumulation and instead focuses on self improvement and exploration.

Having Capitalism and Corporations in Star Trek ruins one of the defining things about the series, specifically, The Federation is a proper Socialist society.

>An important part of Star Trek is that Capitalism is long gone
is that why they still work for money, farm to sell surplus, run restaurants and other goods stores? they still do that because capitalism is dead? even if capitalism was dead in star trek, which it isnt, it wouldnt mean that different companies couldnt put out different products regardless or be assigned to the production of specific products for distribution into the red masses

When Nimoy died there was a comic about JJ having a spot reserved in Hell.

Bioneural gel packs of course.

Hey, at least they are getting money, moar money means better STB kino for me.

Just don't go fucking the doc, last time 7 tried that half the ships computer systems got Herpies.

fucking shit man

>HP will introduce "The Machine"
>wonder how Harold will feel about that
>Person Of Interest fans, UNITE!!!
>FUCK THIS IMITATOR

Watson will be pissed. He thought he had Jepordy in the bag.

Let me redhypospray you on bio-neural gel packs, /trek/.

Feeling the difference now isn't the reason to store holograms on bio-neural gel. Bio-neural circuitry uses lossless compression, while isolinear circuitry is 'lossy'. What this means is that for each year the holofile sits on your isolinear storage assembly, it will lose roughly 12% cohesion, assuming you have isolinear chips - it's about 15% depolarization on isolinear memory modules, but only 7% fragmentation on isolinear rods, due to rotational velocidensity. You don't want to know how much worse it is on duotronics or other optronic media.

I started collecting holoprograms in about 2347, and if I try to play any of the holosimulations I downloaded back then, even the stuff I grabbed at 320% efficient encoding, they just run like an Armus. The polygon vector resolution is terrible, the midrange photonic balance... well don’t get me started. Some of those holoprojections have degraded down to 32 or even 16 fractal recursion layers. Holonovels stored on bio-neural gel from the same period still run great, even if they weren’t stored correctly, in a cool, dry computer core. Seriously, stick to bio-neural gel, you may not be able to feel the difference now, but in a thousand stardates or two, you’ll be glad you did.

>using IoT term ever
reee normnerds get back to discussing non-existing tech with coined terms
