Those new Star Trek shows on streaming must have really dropped the ball if even a single person on Earth thinks that tricorders were used to scan for satellites.

Actually New Trek definitely dropped the ball considering Star Trek Picard is set in 2024, and is about a zombie android Picard complaining about lazy hot-take American politics... But this gizmo is probably being called a tricorder because some desperate YouTuber needed to invent some algorithm friendly lies. YouTube needs to stop their algorithm from forcing people into making the worst clickbait imaginable. It's probably why mainstream advertisers are abandoning the platform. Even though they companies pay to run misleading ad thumbnails, they can't come close to competing with the misleading videos themselves, which also all happen to be informercials designed to do nothing but advertise the creator, their sponsors, and the subject of the video itself. No marketer on earth is smart enough to out advertise that kind of recursive and infinitely-replicating advertising ouroboros. Youtube is the void that we scream into.

"Detecting celestial bodies with a homemade tricorder"—it just makes sense.? Not really, that's a job for the ship's computer.Tricorders have limited range. A typical use would be setting broken bones, or scanning the person next to you to determine if they are a Klingon in disguise..

You should really watch more TOS.

When they make a phaser that really disintegrates things, then I will buy one

this article made me think of ten and Stimpy when they’re lost on a planet and he’s using the tricorded and says the space-time thingy makes the coolest noises
