Solice Kirsk posted:I doubt they are delaying it again, but if they're gonna delay it every time there is a gun murder in the US then we're never gonna see the ending. It wasn't that there was a shooting. It was that there was a particularly visible shooting that captured national attention that was coincidentally similar to something in the episode and airing it would have seemed a bit crass. Context, people.

Big Bad Voodoo Lou posted:I'm an academic librarian, and students constantly forget their USB drives in our shared library computers. I'll always pop them into mine to identify the owner and send them an e-mail, but now I'm having second thoughts. There's a pretty good chance at least one of them you found was left behind on purpose. It's pretty common. I think there was an article in 2600 magazine about doing just that not too long ago.

muscles like this? posted:She pretty much doesn't have any other options, even before the hack went through. She would have been blacklisted from any other job in that industry and has already mentioned that she can't just take some low paying job since she has all those student loans plus the fact that her dad is apparently sick as hell. Evil Corp is the only company that knows she didn't actually do what she said she did and is okay with her lying to get what she wants. Her dad wasn't sick, he was drowning in debt from her mom being sick.

Subjunctive posted:Unless the disks were full, just encrypting the data should let some of it be recovered off of blocks that weren't over-written (especially since those blocks may not line up on each replica). Probably that's not the intention of the writers, though, so we should assume that the backups are gone and the data is really only around in encrypted form. I remember it being mentioned that even if they did manage to get the encryption keys they'd just find dummy data anyway. I figured it was done that way to make them scramble to recover the data.

Subjunctive posted:Properly-encrypted data can't be distinguished from random data, so there's no point in actually encrypting unless you want the option of decrypting. I'm not sure it's random data, just not the data they are expecting to retrieve. I just remember Elliot saying something like "even if they do manage to decrypt it their data is gone anyway."

enraged_camel posted:What bothered me wasn't the fact that the plot twist was ripped from something else, but rather that it was so incredibly obvious after a few episodes (with many goons in this very thread calling it) that it completely fell flat. It was supposed to be obvious. Elliot even commented that everyone else already knew. It wasn't meant to be a plot twist. Elliot finding out for himself was the dramatic point of that scene. The whole time you were supposed to be 80% sure that Mr Robot was just Elliot.

She didn't learn to code in a day. She memorized some command lines to type into a terminal in a day. I think instead of giving her a script they had her enter the individual commands from memory so if there was a problem they could fix it quickly and know exactly what step she was on. Also if she had a script and was caught before she executed it there is evidence that she was there to gently caress poo poo up. Without the script she's simply someone that wanted to go to a mostly abandoned floor in the office building to take a dump in peace who brought their laptop along in a bag. Entering commands into a terminal and writing code are two very different things. GutBomb fucked around with this message at 15:11 on Aug 15, 2016 |

When that man's posterior was violated with the knife I turned to my wife and commented that I hadn't seen anything so brutal on TV since Oz and I was still surprised at the prison reveal. We had both been suspecting that there would be a reveal of some sort of mental health facility but neither of us considered prison, and over the past few episodes we'd actually almost given up on the theory that his reality was being masked and maybe he really is just at his mom's place. Whoa.

YouTuber posted:Holy poo poo this thread is dense as gently caress about the Silk Road thing. It's the prison black market. People smuggle in crack or sell butt boys and Elliot rationalized it as a webpage market. The Warden was ignoring at first ignoring but then taking part by having the guards beat the poo poo out of prisoners. Elliot snitched and had the Warden and corrupt guards taken away. So... That's incorrect. There was a scene not featuring Elliot where they go beat up the original IT guy. And why would ray let him use a computer in his office which he used to coordinate the FBI hack in IRC if the site wasn't real? And what would Ray's wife have to do with a prison black market? Dense.

Snak posted:I meant technologically, not calendar year. It doesn't seem like a stretch to me that in a world where E-Coins are accepted at a failing small business, microstamps would be an existing technology. I took it as Bitcoin and e-coin gaining prominence when trust in the banks faltered because of 5/9. I doubt any place accepted them before but when cash is rationed and plastic doesn't work anymore any business is going to scramble to adapt before failing. It's not indicative of it being a "slightly more technologically advanced version of our world" it's just what would happen here if 5/9 happened here.

Watching live last night that last scene was making me really nervous. Something about the music and what was happening on screen was really giving me butterflies and nausea. The nerves got so bad that I had to turn it off and go to bed. I attributed it to something else because I've never had a physical reaction like that to a show before. Tonight I decided I needed to see what happened in the last 8 minutes so I watched it and the nerves and nausea were back. The people making this show know exactly how to make me very uncomfortable.

The Sean posted:Even if it's real I'm willing to place this in the the shoutout/allusion category since this show really makes an effort to refer to other media. It's really not a reference to Burn Notice. It's a hacker thing that's been around since WiFi began. Just because another show used it doesn't mean the two are related. I remember reading about the Pringles can WiFi antenna in 2600 magazine in the very early 2000s.

Can't the brownouts be explained simply by the fact that it's hard to maintain a reliable power grid if you've got no money or means to pay the staff to maintain it? It's the same as the garbage situation. Why do the brownouts have to mean that something is sapping the power on an otherwise properly operating power grid? When California's energy companies were being financially mismanaged several years ago they did managed rolling blackouts to prevent brownouts from an overloaded system. In the 1970s NYC also famously suffered from brownouts due to a crumbling system that wasn't being properly maintained. For a show so grounded in reality (aside from Elliot's delusions) where does introducing science fiction elements fit? GutBomb fucked around with this message at 14:32 on Sep 16, 2016 |

I keep seeing people mentioning that the Ray plot was filler and didn't have anything to do with the main plot but it was the way to get Elliot on a computer and able to coordinate the hack on the FBI from prison. He fixed (and then exposed) Ray's site, but he also coordinated the FBI hack. This directly resulted in the Dark Army getting him released.Spergatory posted:Avatar: The Last Airbender's most powerful and emotionally affecting episodes... Post/username combo...

DaveKap posted:And then later buys a bunch of new equipment and hacks directly from his house. He didn't need to be in jail to do this, that's why it's unimportant. He was in jail to disconnect, both from hacking and from mr robot. It didn't work. Him being in jail was still integral to the story. Specifically the ray plot was so he could get online and perform the FBI hack. This is what the dark army gave him his release papers for which he was grateful to receive because jail sucks and his attempts to disconnect from Mr Robot didn't work.

It seems pretty obvious to me that there has just been interaction between Elliot and Tyrell that we as viewers aren't privy to, and that Elliot doesn't remember it because he's loving crazy. I don't think they mystery between them goes beyond that.
