The third episode of aired this week, and at one point in the episode, Sonequa Martin-Green’s Michael Burnham is tasked with reconciling two suites of code by Lieutenant Paul Stamets (Anthony Rapp). Minor spoilers for Star Trek: Discovery below In the show, Burnham claims the code is confusing because it deals with quantum astrophysics, biochemistry, and gene expression. And while the episode later reveals that it’s related to the USS Discovery’s experimental new mycelial network transportation system, that the code itself is a little more pedestrian in nature. That’s right — in the year 2256, Starfleet’s latest state-of-the-art science vessel. More specifically, it seems to be for the infamous (thanks,!), which is a particularly strange thing for a Starfleet vessel to be running, given that the virus was identified back in 2010 as a weapon created to disable Iran’s nuclear program.

Given that atomic power and weaponry are largely obsolete in the time of the Federation, due to the advent of antimatter technology, it’s hard to see what benefit the USS Discovery would get from deploying Stuxnet code. Stamets is trying to make a point of giving useless work to Burnham, given her status as a mutineer? Is this part of a nefarious Klingon effort to undermine Discovery’s experimental technology? Did the VFX team just grab some complicated-looking code that happened to be? Only future episodes of Discovery will tell.
The GUI version of Vim, Nautilus, gedit, Firefox (the Linux version, that is) have all been reported to run. Amazingly, someone even managed to get (* pointed out that this was actually done using Cygwin). Most apps don’t work flawlessly, but that’s to be expected. This is an early version that Microsoft is letting people test, and all the experimenting that users are doing right now will help them iron out the kinks. There’s also a good possibility that this isn’t the type of use Microsoft planned to support when they enlisted Canonical’s help. Hackintosh Network Drivers. That doesn’t mean they won’t work, just that you may have to hack things together on your own to make it happen.
