felicity smoke is a menace to computers everywhere, she has this magical power of making computer things happen while speaking complete giberish

You only got weird questions from movie buffs.
My friend is a huge car nerd, he can positively identify 1955 Cadillac Eldorado from a snippet of its front left bumper.
However, he also believed that a car's airbag trigger is the headlight, because a TV series or movies have the protagonist tell him that. The guy shoots an escaping bad guy's headlight, bang! and the airbag deploys, the bad guy lost control then crashed. Even hobbyists gets it wrong too… because he is such a massive movie buff and studied in the land of celebrity & entertainment industry worship.
Basically the kind of folks who subscribe to Audrey Hepburn's wisdom, "Everything I learn, I learned from movies." – I also have that airheaded friend who posted this on her social media account.
ECU for ICE cars are usually not the kind that you can "update over the air" like Tesla, which is an electric motor car. It is a standalone system that usually accessed through OBD port that reads its parameters. Maybe it is a custom ECU that allows wireless telemetry or something like Formula 1 cars that allows pit crew engineers to continuously update and optimise the engine settings on the go. It may or may not transmit position (e.g. signal triangulation method).

Any otherwise, the entertainment industry is slowly improving. Gun mechanism is getting more realistic, planes too – Top Gun's latest movie F-14 uses all sorts of realistic RWR alarm sounds. They got to, since video games are overtaking them by far in terms of realism and authenticity.

Only MMORPG I'm aware of that has a high score system is MapleStory, albeit I haven't actually played any other games outside of it besides LaTale. Their ranking system is public on their website, all my dead accounts are pretty low.

All of NTSF:SD:SUV:: is a parody, it literally stands for National Terrorism Strike Force: San Diego: Sport Utility Vehicle

ENHANCE PANTS VECTOR

It'd be interesting to hear more about forensic IT stuff

I thought the thumbnail was for a Corrider VFX react video 🤣🤣

I always asked myself if this works as a storytelling device. To me, it alienates whoever actually understands this shit and the audience that does not understand this won't find this impressive beyond "oh, they managed to do whatever they were doing, great".

Film makers act as if doing this is the equivalent of an action scene to the audience. If they can't understand what the hell you are talking about, it won't work.

I want to see them react to Episode 15 of Extraordinary Attorney Woo, honestly, I think they did a really good job accurately setting up a hacking situation, especially considering this is a kdrama about a lawyer and not about tech.

Edit: Actually now that I think about it, the attack vector the hackers in the show used is the same one that got LTT a while.

Old School RuneScape has high score leaderboards still to this day.

"it is not that strange, I have 7 computers" Please, someone give Linus a reality check. 😀

11:08 Love the Lewis Black reference.

these were actually painful. I died a little bit inside.

So when are they going to look at Mr. Robot?

I will die on the hill that red dwarf had the best zoom & enhance scene. they zoomed from a water droplet reflection to get the reflection off the window behind the image, & then uncropped the image. just to see what was behind the photographer. may have the exact order wrong, but that was the gist of the scene

"Tech experts"
Alright there corridor crew. 🙄

The lady who used a hammer to get the hard drive and opened it up @15:28 is the real life version of Panam from Cyberpunk 2077, Tristin Mays

My dad is a doctor and has the same issues with medical dramas. Turns out writers know writing, not whatever specific domain they might be writing about.

Would love to see you react to all the hacking done in sense8

"Can you rotate us 75 degrees around the vertical?"
Strangely, the guy always interprets 75 degrees as 180.
