That was fantastic
Huh, that ranks at least among the top 5 neatest things I've seen today.
I wonder who wrote it, a hobbyist in the crew? I imagine this would be very unlikely to happen in modern productions.

Now, they usually have someone mockup an OS UI if it needs to be "futuristic" or "advanced". Often they just take screenshots of PCs running current OS's and some basic program if its contemporary (or just do up the UI a bit). I've seen a few movies that just have a straight up Linux terminal if the person is a "hacker". Like Dredd off the top of my head, which actually tried to stay sorta true to reality, just using a Bash console with output from Nmap.
In fact, Nmap has an entire [I]page[/I] dedicated to nmap in the movies. :v:

Wouldn't be too hard or expensive to contract a programmer to do something simple for a TV show. Hell, a Uni student could probably do it.

But why? Most people are computer illiterate, much less actually able to comprehend what's on screen.
As a computer science graduate, one of my favorite things to do in films is try to read the code as best I can, given the shots in the film, and figure out what the code is actually doing.
Unsurprisingly, the code used for [url=https://pastebin.com/vJPUqJRj]creating a Windows window in C[/url] is a pretty common filler for "obtuse code".
I remember in Elysium (I think), the "hacker" was writing Assembly code, and then suddenly had a fancy gui pop up when he ran it. I was pretty enthralled with the accuracy of it all, right up till the fancy gui. :v:

Because you're a director who pride yourself on your insane attention to detail?
I can't stand hearing all the mouth sounds that the microphone is picking up, can anyone summarize this?

He reads some code off an old show and runs it. Fixes a bug.

I'm not hearing anything.
Maybe I'm just filtering it out.

This is basically the only reason to do it today. Back then, it was easiest just to write actual basic (or BASIC :v:) code that did what you wanted. Nowadays, it's cheaper and easier to just have a graphics design guy that makes up a bullshit faux operating system and animate that in After Effects or whatever. It's a shame, the realism of old computers in TV and movies helped sell the setting a lot, in my opinion.

There's a bit of a ASMR effect going on. You can hear his tongue hit his lips/top of the mouth.
