alt Hacker NewsThe Jeff Goldblum virus one?
I believe fans have provided a retroactive explanation that all our computer tech was based on reverse engineering the crashed alien ship, and thus the arch, and abis etc were compatible.
It's a movie, so whatever, but considering how easily a single project / vendor / chip / anything breaks compatibility, it's a laughable explanation.
Edit: phrasing
That isn't actually a fan theory, it was actual plot that was cut from the film for time.
Still dumb but not as dumb as what we got.
