Solution: don’t read that shitrag. It was always a waste of paper, now it is a waste of bandwidth as well.

In Voyager, he’s shown to have pips. In fact, switching him over to Command mode shows a deliberate animation of pips showing up on hid collar.
The EMH is never shown with pips on Voyager. The “ECH” was shown with pips appearing on its first appearance, however:
The entire ECH subroutine was created as the result of The Doctor’s daydreaming, so the visualisation of a rank appearing out of thin air makes sense in that context.
The only other time the ECH mode was used in a genuine emergency (Season 7, Episodes 16/17), he did not have pips.
There was an entire TNG episode (Season 6, Episode 12) whose plot centered around this:
Moriarty was reactivated by mistake, and took the ship hostage, demanding to be able to leave the holodeck.
Geordi and Data spent half the episode experimenting with beaming (inanimate) holographic objects off the holodeck, to no avail. With that said:
Their transporter turned out to be a holographic fake (and so was Geordi), so who knows if the results were valid.
Even without an official rank, on Voyager he was still considered a Department Head and (more importantly) the CMO, which gave significant authority (even exceeding the Captain on certain medical matters), regardless of whether or not he was ever given any pips. The same thing would likely apply on subsequent postings.
If he ever had to be assigned a rank for clerical/administrative purposes, it would probably be the default required rank for a Starfleet CMO candidate for the class of ship he was serving on.
I use both. Pi-hole running in a docker container on one of my home servers which my gateway is configured to assign as the default DNS for all clients, and uBlock Origin on all my browsers to catch everything else.
Pihole is pretty good at catching ads on platforms that are not suited to browser based blockers (IoT devices, streaming boxes etc) but it isn’t perfect and is best used in conjunction with another solution.
That is exactly what I did with my dumb washing machine (and dishwasher).
Each has a ZigBee energy monitoring smart plug which is connected to a local Home Assistant instance. Spent an hour or two writing automations based on the power draw reported by the plugs and now I get push notifications that report whenever either machine finishes its cycle (including how long it took).
Worf is in the opening scene because he’s trying to sue Picard over that barrel.
Kevin and Toby as O’Brien and Barclay fixing the transporter again.
I think you’ll find the holodeck is the cause of (and occasionally the solution to) most Trek problems.
Also the recent SNW crossover where she >!is thirsting over young Spock!<.
Didn’t he become a Commodore, not an Admiral?
