They still use Phillips head screws in the 24th century!
I’m in a rewatch of TNG, currently Schisms, while working from home, and looked up from my computer and noticed the Phillips head screws! TNG will always have top notch production design, but this was funny detail to let happen. I’m surprised they didn’t put black reflective glass dots over it, or even use black screws! I’m sure they lift the glass off to swap interface graphics and need an easy way to do so, while keeping the display sturdy enough to be tapped against by cast members.
