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

I seem to remember reading that what Trinity did in the opening scenes of The Matrix before the police busted in was actually doing a real exploit. So it got done properly at least once!

I once watched some police procedural show (don't remember which copaganda it was exactly) where they were trying to track someone's location online. Couldn't stop laughing when they showed an IPv4 address starting with 624.

Yeah most hacking scenes are ridiculous. Shows like mr.robot are more realistic.

Here's a trigger for you all: Numb3rs description of IRC

"Two ships meeting in uncharted waters". Are you fucking kidding me?

I can relate whenever there are scenes in movies where characters are supposed to make art. Either the actor movies the pen or brush in a way that betrays that they have zero understanding of what they're doing or the art itself is hilariously mediocre despite being supposedly magnificent and beautiful according to other characters in the movie.
