Comment on It would be less dramatic though
DharkStare@lemmy.world 1 year agoWouldn’t blowing up also render the console inoperative? I would thing safely shutting down would be preferable to exploding it the end result is still a dead console.

That’s true. In modern times if your phone or tablet touchscreen breaks with enough explosive force to knock you over and require medical intervention, that phone or tablet is toast and probably won’t work ever again.
On Star Trek, after a console explodes, the person who was using it is helped away and someone just slips into their seat and keeps using that same console without issue. Maybe the downside to extremely robust electronics is that they’re prone to explosions. Like, you get the world’s most robust, bulletproof mechanical keyboard, but the downside is that it requires a 240v high-power power supply. For… reasons.

Depends on your proximity to Scotty/LaForge/O’Brien
