@billyjoebowers @RickiTarr I think the curiosity would drive me wild. I would have to open it up. I mean why would they seal a whole room?

I'm sure it's some perfectly boring reason. I don't know, mold infestation or something? But to completely seal it up still just seems too extreme for anything that doesn't belong in a horror movie or murder mystery, lol.

@intrepidhero @ai6yr @APBBlue Wait, so am I reading this right? They just had, like a hole in the wall and people dropped the used razors in the hole in the wall as if it were a trash bin or something?

@rastilin @winterknight1337 XP and 7 were really good. The only reason I stopped using XP was because 7 was finally good enough to actually do just as well as XP ever did for me and supported newer techs than XP did.

But it does present a problem in that DirectX can't be backported and drivers are designed for 10+ only now, so I'm just not sure how they can be made to work with anything newer in hardware and in gaming. Plus Microsoft is doing everything they can to gut anything pre-11 and there is definitely potential for major security issues (like the printer driver thing -- I forget its exact specifics but it allowed remote execution. I don't think that ever got fixed?)

At this point I don't see how anything but Linux is viable, despite people's kneejerk fear/hatred/etc.

@winterknight1337 That was only for Copilot systems because they had NPUs. For normal home systems they can't count on a guaranteed NPU, nor can they count on people not to play games or etc. That means the only way it ever could have existed outside of Copilot PCs is for them to send it to their "cloud."

"It" in this context being "screenshots of every single thing going on on your computer."

(I do want it on the record I tried to say this is what would happen eventually way back then.)

I want to add as another inb4 and eventual "told-you-so" in general: it's opt-in for now. Eventually it will be opt-out. Then someday no option at all.

Ok, so I'm really having to ask the obvious here, but how are these rogue machines actually causing buttons/etc to physically move? I can accept circuits going rogue, but... There just... is no mechanism even with comets hacking them that they could physically move levers and switches and stuff.

So in about 40 minutes the #Monsterdon movie will be starting. This one looks to be spectacularly bad in the best possible ways, so I'm probably going to be saying a lot about it! To any who see my posts (followers/etc) if you don't want to see the messages, filter or mute the #Monsterdon tag, or if you're not feeling very generous, you can mute me for about two hours.

Or, alternately, come join us! This is sure to be a fun one! Miru will be sharing it here: https://miru.miyaku.media/ It's also on Tubi and other free streaming services. "Maximum Overdrive" is the name of the movie.

Right now a bunch of old anime ops are playing just for fun it seems, lol.

Did he just get isekaied into the game? Is Tron going on in the background but we don't get to see it? Because it was definitely a better movie. 😁

#Monsterdon

Finally we reach the point that it becomes a horror movie.

And some dude is joking about the person who is bleeding profusely because of course someone did.

#Monsterdon

I have never seen the inside of a fuel pump nozzle before. I just realized that.

#Monsterdon

Uh oh. Book from a competing author in the dash of that car. Poor Stephen King.

#Monsterdon

Why did that truck's starter motor sound like a small air drill?

#Monsterdon

WHAT THE ACTUAL DID HE JUST SAY

#Monsterdon

So... Is this like actually Green Goblin or...

#Monsterdon

YES! They got the "can I watch you go pee" guy.

...

DARN IT, NO THEY DIDN'T! Try harder truck!

#Monsterdon

Kid's just ever so calmly biking around the neighborhood looking at all the dead and bloody bodies. No biggie. No need to rush or anything.

BTW why aren't bikes rebelling? The only rule seems to be "machine."

#Monsterdon

Why is the truck adjusting its mirrors to see them? Is the magic comet tail dust supposed to like... put invisible people inside the machines or... What???

#Monsterdon

Is it weird that I like the kind of guitar-riff sound "ree ree ree" like it's about to build into some serious rock? Too bad it doesn't though.

#Monsterdon

So... like... the machines all see? Like with eyes? Or, uh, something?

WHAT ARE THE RULES HERE???

#Monsterdon

Also why is it in these movies that no car can outrun a trailer truck?

I'm not an expert, but I don't think diesel engines (without even turbo chargers or anything!) aren't exactly optimal for chasing cars.

This isn't even the only movie to do that.

#Monsterdon

I can't help but to feel like all anyone truly has to do is just... You know, actually dodge the not even really that fast moving trucks or whatever and just run away on a not road that it can't just drive on. Or am I just making it too easy?
