I agree in part. It’s not the militarism so much, as the focus on action for action’s sake I think.

Conflict in pre Kelvin Star Trek was always a “clash of the minds” affair. Much of that has been traded for cheaper “magic widget” or “character sacrifice” tropes. It’s not that those are inherently bad, its just that they are overused in media

Not saying its not lazy or convenient writing, but let’s equate it to serving on a marine vessel.

History is full of story’s of long term voyages going badly due to mistakes and oversights. Just look at more recent examples with the well documented problems when a US crew serves on a ship away from port for just under a year.

It probably uses less power than a NAS, while having more CPU power and RAM

Plus nothing beats and upgrade using what you already have.

The way I understood it, it was more about joining the allies in case the soviets decided to go from WW2 directly into WW3.

Its Capitalism, isn’t it?

No time = no social life

Well done! Given the way hardware prices are going, using refurbished hardware could be a good upgrade option.

And that archway never ended up with any resident birds or bats for some reason.

I suspect you are correct. Its also important to note that only the elite own slaves. And they would concentrate them on their business interests.

I would argue for a “Publishers are arseholes” tag, along with other ones like “Studio got closed”, “fired most of the developers”

I agree with you on DRM, but it is worth noting that Value is a rare case where despite having a dominant market position, they continue to offer and improve the best client experience.

Not without missteps of course, but there are nowhere near as bad as Microsoft, Google, Apple, etc.
