#22I never understood the love for this movie, it just seems lame to see all of these caricatures being created that reinforce hacker stereotypes - and not even in a good way.

#24There are some great stills from that movie. In particular the close up of a person's face with reflections of computer text in glasses often sticks with me.
I know Timecop also has a similar scene just after the time jump. I think it looks really cool.
My brain is weird.

#25Anyone noticed that streaming services start to compromise on quality? With Netflix it's been like that for a while. Apple TV+ seems to be the best. I really want to get into Blu-ray now, looking for a decent player.

#26Sneakers and Setec Astronomy became my go to for example encryption code for years. If you're not familiar with Setec Astronomy, you're in for a treat. <3
Setec Astronomy is also the name, obviously inspired by the movie, of a successful MIT Puzzle Hunt group.

The movie was partially responsible for creating the stereotype. This was 1992 and hacker culture wasn't yet mainstream.

I mostly see a lot of stuttering. Either during high action scenes or when there's little happening at all. It's especially noticable on HBO / MAX at 4k DV. I assumed it was due to aggressive encoding.
