Landlines too.

(Yes, those were used in the movies.)

@JeffGrigg @dgar
I was thinking the same thing. We're not even safe in our own homes!

@jargoggles @dgar

Yes!

And then much of the cell phone network goes down! [Here! In The Real World!!!]

@JeffGrigg @dgar
I'm pretty sure they've even officially said that cell phones don't work to exit the matrix, anyway.
@jargoggles @JeffGrigg @dgar Really? That's how I got out. Anyway, just popped back for a steak. What did I miss?

@jargoggles @dgar

In-universe, it's a simulation based on the year 1999, "the peak of human civilization." Cell phones were expensive and rare, and did not have cameras or internet access.

...

(Makes me wonder why Y2K fears don't figure more prominently in it. ๐Ÿ™„)

@dgar I would say, You're not wrong
@dgar We will have to be as resourceful as Neo and steal someone else's phone for privacy, maybe a secured line from a navy officer
@dgar the lore is unclear on if VOIP phones work as well
@dgar Even if there were payphones all about, everybody check your pockets right now. Who has quarters?

@dgar

WOT iF I told you about #SSMโ„ข ๐Ÿ‡โ˜ฃ๏ธ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿ™€

@dgar
It's all taken care of already. Know those suspicious public USB charging ports? That's where you get out now.

Those floating robot baddies are going to the damn starlink satellites.

@dgar

Suddenly I want to see the Matrix Movies generated by really bad AI with the worst hands, obviously stolen dialogue that doesn't quite fit and small details you could imagine all over the place.

@TechBean @vieuxnez @dgar

You thought you saw a woman in a red dress? Look again..
Bwaaahhh!! Damn!!

@TechBean @vieuxnez
I saw a woman in a red dress with seven fingers that bend the wrong directionโ€ฆ
@dgar @vieuxnez
Did she also have a red hat and three toes?
@vieuxnez @TechBean
Is it a hat? Because it looks like itโ€™s melted into her headโ€ฆ.

@vieuxnez @TechBean

We should laugh and make jokes now while we can. In twelve months, AI wonโ€™t be making these mistakes.

@dgar My guess is itโ€™s closer to 12 months to correct that kind of sampling issue due to the complexity of the image & small sample size for each variant. @vieuxnez @TechBean
@vieuxnez @dgar It would still be better than the last one they made ๐Ÿ˜ญ
@dgar In Matrix IV they use mirrors
@dgar itโ€™s all in the plan to keep us here to control
@dgar I WOULD BELIEVE YOU
Neo: "OH NO Trinity, we'll never reach the payphone in time!"
Trinity: pulls out a cellphone
