I dunno, I always thought it was meant to mimic organics.
“Cable management” inside the human body is horrendous. So it felt like in the mixing of machine and biology, the machines had to become more biological in the way they worked to function properly in tandem with the Borg biology.
That’s exactly it. Cable management is a top-down design philosophy. The Borg are a collective that organically integrates biological, mechanical, electronic, and any other systems that they find useful–it’s quite literally the polar opposite of a top-down design philosophy.
It would be more surprising if the Borg had tidy cable management, because that implies some hierarchy. Actually, the Borg cubes are a little out of place in that regard. Spheres or fractal-ish structures would make more sense.
Borg were scarier before the concept of the Queen.
Anesthetics are irrelevant.
You will be assimilated. (and forced to wire things as directly as possible because that is more efficient as long as it doesn’t hinder future endeavors)
Do you mean “aesthetics?” Or is spelling also irrelevant?
Proof the cable management is optional and doesn’t have an effect on the computers ability to work
Their cable management used to be fine.
The only answer is Borg enshittification.
It’s for when they run out of regeneration alcoves
Also, has anyone ever noticed that the Borg don’t have printers?
Want to destroy the Borg … just patch one 2000s era Epson Printer with a shitty software driver to one of their ships and watch all hell break loose
