Don't forget the rocks built into every console
Comment on Cardassian Security Priorities

The Federation has all the best practices:
-
Single points of failure everywhere
-
weak security controls
-
poor scalability on computer systems
-
seemingly no thought of safety when designing things
-
centralization of all critical functions

And the fact that the consoles violently explode when something on the outside of the ship nowhere near the bridge is hit.
I hate it when someone knocks too hard on my front door, causing my bathroom light switch to burst into flame.

O’Brian has a rant from DS9 about the backups having backups on federation ships.

There is a episode of Star Trek Voyager where some space pirates steal the main computer.
The concept of entire space stations and starships ships being dependent on a single main computer is pretty common across all whole franchise. It seems like a pretty big problem to have a central point of failure that massive.

Ok fair but the main computer is massive so I guess it balances out?

And yet they all fail.
