As an actress, thatโ€™s nonsense, if hacking scenes in movies are fake, then how do you explain this documentary I watched where this hacker man hacked a kung fu fighting cop back in time to kill Hitler (and David Hasselhoff was there for some reason, too)?

Itโ€™s almost as if an award winning professional actor would be really good at playing roles or something.

Whatโ€™s your opinion on the Hollywood obsession with femme fatale roles and do you think thatโ€™s a healthy discourse/ideology for women to adhere to today

Compare and contrast with Status Fatale figures

Honestly, I donโ€™t think it ever needed a sequel, itโ€™s perfect on its own

The Nintendo Power Glove is a critical accessory for hacking too much time.

If itโ€™s even that. Most of the time itโ€™s non-nonsensical gibberish.

I was watching a show recently where someone was writing code, and it was actually C++ code. I actually did the exact pose in the meme.

Of course, he was writing it inhumanly fast, and he always seemed to be writing the start of a new file. But I liked that it was actually code and not just The Matrix-style jibberish

When I made a short film about an AI I was writing C# into visual studio as my coding. It was actual video game code that was for something like AI pathfinding or something, so I tried to make it somewhat accurate.

Not sure why movies canโ€™t spend a grand on a programing consultant to actually write them some hacking-ish code for the scenes.

The show Mr. Robot did that, they used real 0-day exploits for their hacking scenes!

I thought I heard somewhere that these screenwriters as like an inside joke try to top each other on how ridiculously incorrect they can make their hacking scenes.

My guess is that they just donโ€™t care to spend the time on it when the majority of people wouldnโ€™t even notice. But of course those of us that would notice would really appreciate it.

As a guitar player, it equally irritates me when the person โ€œplayingโ€ the guitar has clearly never touched a guitar in their life. Similarly, when an actor is actually playing it, I really appreciate it.

Off topic, but I once walked in while my wife was watching some anime where the guitars were all extremely accurate, like down to what tuning pegs they would have had for the era the guitars were from. They must have motion captured all of the guitar playing from when they recorded the music, or at least took video of their hands, because they animated it perfectly. Down to the tapping parts and everything. It was jaw dropping. I made her start the whole show over from episode one so I could watch it.

I am not a programmer by any means but I know enough to know they did their research.

Except Tyrell called it โ€œnomeโ€ instead of โ€œgโ€™nomeโ€ and Iโ€™m pretty sure TOR exit nodes can only see unencrypted data and the entry node can only see who sent it.

โ€ฆis gnome meant to be read as โ€˜genomeโ€™? Never realised that was a possibility as a non-native English speaker. Always based it off the garden variety Gnome with a silent G.

This is like sequel or ess-que-ell all over!

Funnily enough I have to hide terminal windows when updating while Iโ€™m around any of my less tech savy friends who think itโ€™s scary or creepy. I really dislike them portraying this as โ€œhackingโ€.
