So two people typing in one keyboard doesn't make the hack faster?

To be fair there are a few Unify router setups in even big corporate settings that use the default passwords, and if you can get into the control panel, you pretty much could disable basically anything in a few keystrokes

I have changed annoying PA music in public venues from my phone, for example

But yeah, movies almost never get IT or secops correct

Is your job/hobby bank robbing?

Silo also has several falls that should absolutely kill people. One that's like dozens of feet into the pile that they throw all sorts of sharp metal objects on? Dead.

Free falling off a bridge with just a rope tied around your waist that stops you? At the very least your back is fully broken, but that fall looked long enough that you should just be dead. Full Gwen Stacy.

You act that way because you work in a career that can dismember you if you are careless, so you've trained yourself in ways that almost no actor could ever capture, and certainly no screenwriter would ever consider

I said it loud too while watching it: “that shit’s over 100°C… and they’re going right in?”

As a kid watching Miami Vice, except for a few external shots I was like "Umm... that's not miami..."

And the few shots that were kind of just had Sonny and Rico walk-talking past buildings that were like eight blocks apart from each other in the same conversation

Even worse the Hollywood Effect makes the stuff that I do that's ACTUALLY impressive look like routine.

Fuckers will literally clap if I unjam their printer but manually recalculate a CRC header for a mission critical live database without a second of downtime and they're like 'Ok but isn't that your job?'

BITCH LESS THAN 5 PEOPLE IN THE STATE CAN DO THIS

But you just typed in some numbers

BITCH I CANNOT EXPLAIN IN UNDER FOUR HOURS HOW TO FIGURE OUT THE RIGHT NUMBERS TO USE

Nods and waves arms widely - the computers.

Which ones? All of them.

LOL or for that matter fictional characters doing ANY job. It's like they just screw around all day having wacky misadventures and somehow the company stays in business.

Now you're making me want to write a story about a high stakes embroidery counterfeiting ring

Obigatory "The Deluge" Duel Link

The 'but I am not left handed' duel in The Princess Bride is about as close as can be expected

And Achilles jumping at the beginning of Troy was just comical.

FUCKING THANK YOU I HAVE BEEN THINKING THAT FOR DECADES

It never occurred to me that cinematic/theatrical sword fights are to swordsmanship what gun-fu is to marksmanship lol

Every finicky technology always works the first time unless it's plot-relevant

No paper jams ever unless it is funny or plot relevant.
