Everything can be funny, but that doesn’t mean any joke is funny. You still have to approach difficult subject matters with a certain art.

The security bit is doing it’s job. If this is a barrier for someone, then they aren’t the kind of person who should be playing with the internals of a dangerous electronic device.

Maybe you can explain what you actually mean then, because I don’t understand your point.

I would say those dollar-store VPN products people use for geo-spoofing is the worst security risk when it comes to VPNs. You are sending your data through some other company that you have no control or insight into. You have no idea what network security they employ, or whether they are willing or obligated to release your data to other parties.

Encrypted VPN tunnels are ubiquitous in many industries for remote connection to private clouds. They are used by virtually every high functioning company in the world, and getting more common for mid and lower tier companies as well.

Watergate, and Home?

Wait, which Replicator are you taking about? It makes a difference.

Keeping it vague for spoilers: blood and guts, main characters get disfigured, die brutal deaths, etc.

The writer’s strike definitely killed it

Wasn’t it supposed to be an anthology series, where each season was a new cast? But then they were like “hey everyone loves these characters! Quick make up some stuff so they all have to stick around.” Then we got weird shit like that character who has a bunch of twins or something, and psycho serial killer Syler joins the team.

You may as well be describing The Matrix.

I would say yes.

When you see cyberpunk it’s usually from the point of view of the lower class. You can still have a story that is cyberpunk but focused on the affluent.

I think it’s actually because the root word for gargoyle (and gargle) translates literally to “throat”.

They are essentially a decorative throat.

It was done. Teletext delivered news, sports results, horoscopes, closed captions, all directly to your TV in real-time. It was quite clever as a pre-internet method to deliver text content to every home.

All the people in the comments here being unaware of this makes me feel old.

So, basically an Archimedes Screw.
