Technically, that's a space elevator.

Which is a real thing in canon. Bajor's application was put in jeopardy when they briefly reinstated a caste system, which violated Federation equality rules.

Wouldn't that technically be a French thing?

The neutral look is easiest. Odo uses it because it's the best he can do. The Founders use it because they're lazy.

His scene with Worf where he reveals that he's Alexander from the future is one if the greatest scenes in ALL Trek.

Strips cut through forested areas like this are generally called fire breaks. I don't know if there's a more specific term for those beneath power lines.

Usually you can, though the setting might be listed under something like "show diagnostic during boot".

As its name suggests, LogoFAIL involves logos, specifically those of the hardware seller that are displayed on the device screen early in the boot process, while the UEFI is still running. Image parsers in UEFIs from all three major IBVs are riddled with roughly a dozen critical vulnerabilities that have gone unnoticed until now. By replacing the legitimate logo images with identical-looking ones that have been specially crafted to exploit these bugs, LogoFAIL makes it possible to execute malicious code at the most sensitive stage of the boot process, which is known as DXE, short for Driver Execution Environment.

So, does disabling the boot logo prevent the attack, or would it only make the attack obvious?

Whales and time travel to the present day. Which is 1986, of course.

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home

I was 3 years old and my parents took me to see it at a drive in theater. Fell asleep before the end.
