Cocoa Crispies posted:yes, now you can no longer remove the battery from your phone to foil surveillance Common sense says if the device doesn't have a power supply it can't do anything that draws power. I've not yet seen a smartphone you can't pop the battery out of, so what's the other piece of the puzzle? They come with backup integral batteries, or what?

I got a 4 hour train journey coming up. What's a non-terrible cyberpunk novel i can waste my time with? i've read gibson's sprawl stuff, snow crash, altered carbon and sequels. Is gibson's modern stuff any good?

In the hellish dystopian cyberpunk future of 2017 people pay a premium to big corporations for clothes and lifestyle accessories designed to make them look like free-spirited anticonsumerist cultural rebels.

Do new computers even come with disc drives anymore? I mean like CD/DVD drives I know the floppy drive is dead and gone. I bought my pc in like 2009 and can't even remember the last time I opened the dvd drive. They can't have long left. All the kids are streaming now, my gandkids love that netflix thing and youtube

infernal machines posted:how long do the discs last though? it seems like with higher storage densities they'd be even more sensitive to the rot that destroys cd/dvd Wanna take a guess what the best answer is right now to guarantee survival for critical information?  print everything out on paper lmao. Also don't put it in a climate controlled cutting edge facility because as soon as your boiler breaks down everything's hosed. Just make a massive room with really thick walls, print everything out on paper, stick it in ph neutral boxes and folders, and hope for the best.This is the cyberpunk future.

infernal machines posted:any job that pits you directly against entropy is probably a losing proposition I like to whimsically describe my job as the endless war against entropy, but really that's all of human civilisation. Which is a grim thought. I can't offer much of an opinion on M Disc because it's a bit high tech for my collection which is mostly 100-1000 years old and written on vellum and paper. Some of my colleagues are trying to figure out a policy for our modern records but it's a nightmare. The transience of data formats, hardware, software, and proprietory infrastructure owned by companies that could be gone in 10 years let alone 100 makes it a real pickle. One of the specialty professions within archiving is palaeography - people who can pick apart ancient languages and ancient handwriting while also interpreting the (often mystefying) structure and meaning of old documents. In the future i like to imagibe you're gonna get digital palaeographers who maintain racks of centuries old hardware and are fluent in loving Ruby or Python and can piece ancient code back together from fragments.

Altered Carbon has a good audiobook. The narrator has this kind of noir-ish world weary voice that suits the book great. The second book just isn't as good and the third one has a lovely narrator who mispronounces everything. But that first one was wunderbar.

What galls more than the staggering tastelessness of VR disaster tourism (same for those "homelessness experience" VR things) is how inane, witless and inarticulate the resulting commentary is. "Man this sure is crazy" says a VR man standing in a simulation of a real disaster killing people as he speaks. "Wow this poo poo is intense!!" he muses. I could almost excuse the whole thing if anything meaningful came from it, but it's just a gnarly voyeuristic experience to fill up a spare half hour. It is pretty cyberpunk in that respect tho.

Schadenboner posted:I would IRL like something like this in terms of mouse focus following eyeline but there would need to be an activating (thing) to make it actually apply. I think there's already a thing for quadriplegic people that uses eye-tracking and blinking to move and activate a mouse cursor. Not to mention experiments with controlling cursors by thought though what I can only presume is magic.

hobbesmaster posted:https://www.naturalpoint.com/trackir/trackir5/ I've had two of these and the lovely, cheap plastic armature that supports the unit on your headset snapped on both of them within a few months of very delicate usage. You can order replacements, but they're so ridiculously fragile that it's only a matter of time until they fall apart. Eventually I couldn't be bothered with the hassle anymore and consigned it to a crate in a closet and went back to mouselook.

Christ, I'd forgotten the terrible sex scenes the hypnosex in the AC books. And the way everybody practically slobbers/cowers in fwar over what a badass the Envoys are the moment they meet one. It's really amazing the first book ended up being a genuinely good noir cyberpunk.
