That scene in Independence Day is seeming less far-fetched every passing moment.

  The 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.

      Reminds me of how in the original the matrix plot the humans were being used for compute power, but the studio execs decided audiences wouldn't understand it.
