Turbo was the default behavior. There was a toggle button that turned off the turbo light and slowed the machine down when needed for compatibility. Note: almost nobody needed this capability it sometimes they bumped the button and later wondered why the pc was slow.

When they moved it must have sounded like crinkling bags of Sun Chips

Nice but maybe it’s Earnest Borg9

Ok this bugs me too.

One of the themes of Star Trek is that humans moved on from the greed and violence of the past. This is due to two things:

• There was a nuclear war that wiped out almost everything and that taught a lesson.
• Society is post scarcity. Due to replicators, anyone can have anything they want.

I’m skeptical of the first one because in history there have been several wars that wiped out almost everything and people go back to their old ways in a generation.

I’m even more skeptical of the second one. Frankly, we are basically post scarcity now. The whole world could easily be fed and housed with our current tech. But they just aren’t because of greed and hoarding.

You can bet that if replicators were invented tomorrow they would all be hogged by Musk and Bezos and Putin.
