Wow. Ummm, here's an out there thought, keeping in mind with the title and all. Elliot is an AI experiment that's not going so well. A sentient cyberweapon. With issues.

Sober posted:It's not so much USA's fault as it is a transition period right now and they just hit a good show while doing so. USA's brand has existed for long enough that it's ingrained in the consciousness of most people who even casually browse TV that if you told them to watch Mr. Robot and said it was on USA they would laugh it off as a practical joke. Well, FWIW, I have been talking it up to about anyone that will listen... Also, according to Dustin Hoffman (50 year career) - "I think, right now, television is the best that it's ever been and I think that it's the worst that film has ever been – in the 50 years that I've been doing it, it's the worst," he said in an interview with The Independent.

Sober posted:Unless all your friends are as apt to start watching new shows and seeing where they go, I would assume they aren't that kind of early adopter. So they either wait for a recommendation or wait until it hits a critical mass and they jump onto the bandwagon. Well, I am lucky I have a decent rep for recommendations for shows and such. I have also been assiduously warning them not to just jump in, but have driven home how important it is they get caught up before watching any current-ish episodes. Gordong Dongbay posted:Recommending the show is hard because the premise doesn't sound like anything special and describing it in to much detail really takes away from the show if you haven't seen it yet. Telling people the show is about a shut in hacker who works as a tech by day and a vigilante hacker by night makes it sound like a really bad SyFy show. I also push the concept of the unreliable narrator, and some of Elliott's issues, hard to make sure they understand how deep the rabbit hole goes...

Not just for the reasons you see in Mr Robot but also that many viruses auto copy to usbs plugged into the infected computer, so the owner may not even be aware they are spreading something malicious. ultramiraculous posted:This show is really a lesson in why you should just epoxy all your non-essential ports shut.

Mega Comrade posted:That will improve security sure. But it doesn't completely protect you. There have been viruses that infect your computer when an anti-virus scanned it once being plugged in. USB sticks that are actually seen as keyboard or mouse and run macros infecting the PC when plug and play kicks in. There was one a couple of years ago that exploited a vulnerability in explorer and when it scanned the contents to provide an icon it would infect through that. And the most common problem, people clicking on the things they find on the USBs, as we had in Mr Robot and with the example Big Bad Voodoo Lou gave you would need to double click a few files to find out the USBs owner. Well, they also banned them because they make it easy to remove data. When I used to work IT, that is EXACTLY the reason we blocked USB ports via GPO.

apatheticman posted:They literally addressed the bathroom thermostat issue by saying something along the lines of "who has all their thermostats callback to the same server?" Besides, they weren't trying to melt the tapes per se, they were trying to cause the binder between the substrate and the magnetic media to soften. Also, they were doing this on a fictional data center, so bringing in a real secure data center doesn't count. Yes, the fictional secure data center was based on the real one, but this is a fictional show after all.

Stubs Ascott posted:The "twist" is using a cliche to more deeply explore the psyche of the main character. Since we, the audience are a character in his mind as well he acknowledges that we knew the whole time, which of course we did. It's not rocket science, it expands on the character, his paranoia, and makes you as a character question how deep the delusion is going. Were the protestors in Times Square even real? It helps reset the trust we have given Elliot as a character and puts us at odds with him again. I don't think it falls flat as a character moment. Or you could just kidnap Sam Esmail and beat it out of him. He doesn't look tough.

It starts with a guy typing into the terminal, then ends with him googling a bunch of poo poo and reading reddit instead of getting anything done. Multitasking, yo.

DaveKap posted:Did you miss the entire scene with him? Joanna got closer to the bartender who was at the party where Tyrell killed Scotty2Drunky's wife. Joanna was stringing him along this entire season just so she could eventually get him to give Tyrell an alibi to the murder of Scott's wife. "I love you." "Great, now let's go over that false story I just told you so you can prove my husband's innocence and put Scott away in jail for life." Plus, you know, a girl has needs, and she has that boy pretty well in harness...

JitteryComa posted:AFAIK he was just using her to get her dad and the other families of the people who died like her mom and Elliot's dad to settle their suit against E-Corp. In addition she got them to drop a contingency that would call for federal inspections of the Washington Township Power Plant, which seems to be integral to Whiterose's plans. During all that I think he just took a genuine liking to her. Whiterose taunting him about Angela was just her going, "Eat poo poo old man. I got to your go-to personally, like it was nothing." Yeah, that does sound like Whiterose. They like to make sure EVERYONE knows where the power lies.
