the matrix robots figured out how to get around EMPS
why didn't humans just delete skynet's system32

Why didn't the EMPs from Skynet's nukes destroy Skynet?
They did. Nukes are clearly seen in the Second Renaissance shorts. Presumably, and not really farfetched considering the state of affairs, the robots developed emp-hardended electronics.

delete this.

this is the real answer
also IRL EMP bombs have devastating effects on all electrical phenomena, and have indeterminable effects (presumed fatal) on nerve impulses in living organisms

>Several neuroscientists stated that humans can easily withstand EMP up to 100kV/m without detrimental effect. ... A short pulse EMP should pass through the body with no effect. The conditions are simply not present in an EMP from a solar flare, nuclear detonation, or electromagnetic weapon to produce damage to the body

Military satellites and ICBM guidance systems use this shit.

because EMP bombs aren't real things, they're unwanted side effects of nuclear bombs that can't be replicated by themselves unlike what movies tell you

Good to know I'm safe, bring on the nukes bitches.

we're discussing NEMP, not some low grade ESD weapon, not the electronic magnetic effects or a normal nuclear weapon, or CME from natural sources.
it was within the US government's interests to downplay the possible harmful effects of a nuclear electromagnetic pulse weapon being used on american/foreign soil in the event of a large-scale invasion

*effects of a normal nuclear weapon
I could scrounge up some pre-WW1 news articles where the effects of gas and chemical weapons were downplayed to the public as simply "incapacitating" and "sleep-inducing" but I'm too lazy
