I rewatched Stranger Things season 4, which takes place in 1986, and there’s a scene where code flashes on the screen while they’re “hacking”. It shows:

  • Turbo C++ - not invented until 1990
  • HTML - 1993
  • HTTPS - 1994 (it’s called htsps on the screen)
  • PHP - 1995
  • CSS - 1996
  • Iframe - 1997
  • C# - 2000
  • .NET Framework - 2002
  • CoffeeScript - 2009
  • Flexbox - 2009

All the hacking flash u need. A hacker needs to know the exact temperature of each CPU core at once at all times. In spaced out colors, for clarity.

Mr. Robot really spoiled me. How does that shit fly under the radar for such a high production show?

[-] moonburster@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Been a while since I watched it. Did they actually take the time to do it right in that show?

[-] vortexsurfer@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah. It was very realistic. Sometimes they simplified explanations a bit. They had real hackers as consultants, and Sam Esmail, the creator of the show, was into hacking and computers as a teen.

Hey, at least they used something based in reality opposed to the traditional falling Matrix text... Actually, on second thought, that might be a little bit cooler.
