The show “Leverage” has some great ones. Mostly showing the hacker getting pissed that everyone else doesn’t understand his part of the job.
Also the hacking in the movie “Sneakers” is surprisingly accurate for a heist comedy.

It does.
The weirdness is that the random 13 year old apparently both:
A) Has experience on a proprietary server file explorer only that was almost exclusively in use in huge data centers at the time. And… B) decides that the slow graphics heavy option is the right choice over a simple command line, while a raptor is actively breaking into the room to eat her.
Edit: and yes, I get that we’re supposed to connect that her grandfather is rich and she grew up with all the best toys. Which arguably excuses A, anyway.
Spray painting a wall is fine,
Yeah. Particularly when private bank walls are right there prominently on many corners just asking to be painted.
This is perfect. I’m delighted to have been a tiny part of this creative endeavor.
“I don’t understand the question.”
“Consider a universe where only one of these people would consent to make love to you…”
“No such universe exists. I actually checked when I had Q powers…”
An egg cooker is a special appliance for people who feel like their pot doesn’t take enough electricity, and doesn’t cuss them out with a special beep when finished.
Automate like crazy. Set up the transfer to the savings, and try to forget about it.
We’re in a “fuck around” cycle where they pretend that the problem was we didn’t have “copilot”, and not that all of our development managers are wildly unqualified.
The “find out” part comes next.
Which is fucking impossible to fathom, because my fucking grocery store’s app can’t even implement search reliably, today.
I’m not sure how they’re going to manage to make things worse.
Actually, I’ll make a guess. My guess is we will go under the critical skill level needed for building safe hospital equipment, and we will get a rash of that stuff killing people due to lack of programmer skills.
I hope the asshole CEOs are the ones that die, but there’s not enough karma in the world for that.
It’s pretty great when it’s done well though. But it’s so rarely done well.
I’ve heard appliances make beeps or sing songs that clearly meant “job completed successfully”, or “low battery”, or “I need rescued before I can work again” without any need to consult a manual.
Agreed, about keeping more goofy songs out of the kitchen.
But I’ll make an exception for my egg cooker.
My egg cooker beeps the equivalent beep to “I will fucking kill you all. Also these eggs are done. Seriously though, if I weren’t just an egg cooker, I would stab you right in the eye.”
I would trade that beep for pretty much any other sound, even a goofy song.
Yeah. It really changes that scene.
I went back to Windows several times before I made the switch permanently to Linux. You just gotta do what works for you.
This is the way.
I went back and forth for years. Tuning and tweaking to find what works for me. Spoiler - the fully open source options are what worked best for me, eventually.
For awhile gaming was the only place I put up with non-Linux anymore. And now with my SteamDeck, I have an easy way to avoid buying games that aren’t Linux ready.
We need to get our billionaires to try this out immediately. We can send them to the far future to grace it’s people with their guidance.
NDISWrapper was a big turning point for me - the first time I got Linux working and kept it for the life of the hardware, it was due to NDISWrapper.
I hope I’m rocking that hard at 84.
My next non-alcohol bubbly drink will be in your honor, Larry.
Great summary bot, as ever. But missed this absolute gem from the comments:
“Thanks for helping me wardrive and steal the WiFi from that dentist, Larry.”
and how we could have achieved it all with no written records.
Our religion prevented using doc strings or code comments of any kind. What little software we had that actually worked correctly probably was aliens, come to think of it…
Yep. This is the way.
I hope they update the Molly AI to detect when this happens - and to backtrack though the hole, and to put down a sign, and to write “fuck you, haha” on the sign, and then to continue onward.
