It’s like prog rock. By and large, hot chicks are interested in bands like Motley Crue and Bon Jovi.
But prog rock never got chicks wet. It was always music by nerds for other nerds.
I think a realistic movie about hacking would be the same. By and large.
For the cool stuff, well, the Demoscene it's like that. Or stuff from https://t3x.org, or the small tools from gopher://hoi.st and tons of weird 9front new tools such as the GeFS filesystem, the future gpufs, using remote devices as if they were the local ones in the computer and whatnot. Ditto with Subleq and EForth which is perfect foror something like Jarre.
There many details in the movie, like the sound of electricity going through the circuit, the camera path is more like a spline with rotations in more axis, etc.
It does perform really good on mobile.

(was that it?) and a VJ mode that scrolls around to the beat and you have something for the next party!
Regarding RISC, kind of, there have been compromises in the instruction sets.
Me also: yah RISC is good!
My wife and I both love this movie. I thought it was cheesy and unrealistic when it dropped, but it's reflective of a mid-90s era when technology was something to be excited about and there was a lot of hype about "cyberspace" and such nonsense. That's also when I got into internetworking, Linux, and all that stuff. And electronic music. Hackers made people with my interests seem way cooler and sexier than we really were.
