Has anyone seen the 1997 movie of The Saint? Simon Templar uses an Apple Powerbook and Nokia 9000 Communicator mobile phone to communicate clandestinely. The tech seems very dated now, but remains quaint.
During one scene when Simon Templar is being traced over the internet, it appears on the bad guy's computer that the 3rd node has been tracked and is now looking for the source client (Templar himself). This is actually very much like how Tor works now.
Anyway, favorite tech in movies thread.

At least he seems to have lost all the weight. Plus I heard he's on the mend after having an operation for an undisclosed procedure.

That movie seemed really ahead of it's time even back then, I remember watching it back in 97 and thinking how cool it would be to have a phone that was a computer. I guess the nokia 9000 was the closest thing back then. Actual smartphones were still about 13 years away.
80's and 90's hacker movies were so comfy.
Has anyone seen the 90s TV show Profit? It's not about technology exactly, but every episode features a bunch of cheesy "ahead of its time" technology. Like bad 3D animations and fat cellphones, plus a lot of social engineering and the odd hacking scene
Love it
First ever smartphone coming through. Fuck you Applel
