>How in the fuck could big organizations like Tops or Exaltists communicate or deal in the hollow and not have tech similar to it.
Very poorly.
People die non-stop.
That's kinda the point.
>She intergrated perfectly, I was under the assumption the tech needed something like Fairy to function
Well, that's wrong, goes directly against the established lore, and we even have a direct counterexample with Trigger's Agent Story, that has you relieve the pre-Fairy days of Phaethon.
HDD is still there and functions identically to now.
>why is this relevant
Because you claim that to shut down Fairy they need HDD.
And I'm telling you that makes no sense.
>what the fuck are you even on about
Do you not know what a kill-switch is?
>This is true and established, but not what the opposing tech did to her at all.
All we know is that Fair was shut down.
Your assumptions regarding "opposing tech" are completely baseless and came out of nowhere.
>How are you even doing this without HDD power systems or fairy tier AI, makes no sense.
What? Disconnect a building from Inter-Knot?
Pull the cord, you silly goose, you don't need technology for that.
If new Eridu is wireless all over the place, there are still network switches or the equivalent and the traffic can be controlled.
Most of it goes through specific ports and blocking access to some is trivial for any ISP who manages the network.
The reason you're supposed to run HTTPS everywhere is exactly because your by default traffic isn't protected at all.
>Most of those explanations don't work.
I fail to see why, feel free to provide a singular counterexample. So far you haven't done that.
>Exaltists explicitly operate inside the hollows and with the hollows.
And so does NEDF.
And they use tapes to record shit and pass around.
It's THAT big of a deal in ZZZ's setting.
>There's even some freaky white star institute fuck communicating within the hollow zero
All in person, with incriminating tapes left all over the place because they are absolutely necessary, as there's no alternatives.
>or did you forget that
I did not. You clearly did.
>And all of this just to say anybody else having a HDD similar system is a massive plot hole? Come on.
Exactly.
If it wasn't that much of a key plot point, it would've not been reiterated several times while being entirely and fully consistent with the lore we've seen so far.

>And you did a shit job because there's not much reason it is bad.
That's, like, your opinion, man.
You don't even know the difference between Fairy and HDD, so I don't really care about it.
>As if I need you to take me seriously
More like you can't make me take you seriously.
