Is cable management actually bad for computers? If it make the wires 10% longer to accommodate the aesthetic shapes we like, then that’s 10% more time it takes for the 1s and 0s to reach their destination. I guess what I’m saying is my lack of cable management is actually a productivity hack
Cables out of place can limit air flow and make things warmer, causing more failures. It is easier to snag a cable by mistake when doing other things. It is also easier to grab the wrong cable when in a hurry.
There are levels to cable management, and the Borg manage cables poorly.
more downtime while you go looking around for the bad cable maybe, but probably not a problem for the collective mind of the borg as they can just remember
The Borg don’t have that problem. Every drone knows everything the hive knows and the hive never forgets. Therefore every drone knows which cable to replace, should the need arise.
Certificates of Compliance from Hive manufacturers, tracing materials back to their original source. These would also need to confirm to Hive QA programs and traceable Hive-wide standards, where applicable.
Indexed and catalogued maintenance work orders
Legacy documentation from previous species who were assimilated
Indexing and cataloguing newly encountered species’ technology and uploading it to the database
Also the eye would be Augmented Reality so the drone can tell exactly what it is just by looking at it.
Ah so they’re running in RAID 1 then. That’s a lot of data to transfer if they’re all constantly updating, definitely recommend upgrading to fiber-optic.
Not RAID 1, its more like disturbed storage with redundant copies. You dont need all data to be on all discs if you replicate it enough times in geographically dispersed areas.
The borg uses discrete cubes scattered across a galaxy, which is solid.
Or trust me I have. Imagine if you will a house from the 1930s with the internet cable running from the opposite side of the house as the router. However the wire is deliberately put through as many rooms as possible on the way to the router and super glued into place as though it’s fine to trip on a wire 5 times to get to a room.
Spoken like someone who’s never had to replace a cable in a long run
That’s an effect on your ability to work, not the computers. The computer still doesn’t care.

It’s nice having a bionic eye that is directly connected to an Enterprise Content Management system which has schematics and engineering diagrams for:
Aforementioned cables, terminal blocks, pigtails and splices, homerun cables, and associated electrical and instrumentation loop diagrams
Piping and Instrumentation diagrams for all ship systems, including revision level document management
Plan and structural drawings of each Cube, with calculations
Environmental/equipment qualification documentation

You make it sound as the hive is the perfect engineering job you’ll ever have

Replacing a cable in that mess is a lot quicker than having to undo dozens of cable ties though.
I like cable managing, but it takes up a lot more of your time.
Nobody replaces “a cable” in a long run.
The only two actions available are to add a cable, or to replace an entire nest of them.
Or trust me I have. Imagine if you will a house from the 1930s with the internet cable running from the opposite side of the house as the router. However the wire is deliberately put through as many rooms as possible on the way to the router and super glued into place as though it’s fine to trip on a wire 5 times to get to a room.
Yall need an attic, a crawlspace, or some outdoor rated cable and some siding cable clips.
Some acetone on the hilariously glued cable should sort it out afterwards.
Depends how on reasonable they are, if they’re just long cables and dangling on the floor it doesn’t really matter except for aesthetics.
