I also hope we move away from coal, but if environmentalists are hell bent on getting a bunch of Dell monitors and a few keyboards in a museum hit me up.
I know some environmentalists and I have heard that they want to put anything in the museum in that sense. But honestly having a replica might be good for a museum
I remember there was a water treatment plant or something similar that got hacked. The hackers started messing with the levels of the chemical mixtures to poison an entire city. The only reason it didn’t end in catastrophe is because there was somebody watching that specific screen at the exact moment it happened. Seeing this made that scenario more terrifying.
I actually cannot comprehend how people can think like this
Saw a 4chan post claiming to be about making crystals that was actually designed to mislead people into making chlorine gas and poisoning themselves - how the fuck can anyone be that broken that they’d find that funny
Oh sweet summer child, you’d be surprised, but there’s shitton of people like that, they just so good at wearing masks irl that you’ll believe them instead of victim, if they get convinced that they gonna be unpunished or/and benefits (shit and giggles) outweigh consequences, they’ll do shit, i mean, in internet people let true unhinged self to act, if they believe they can do it irl too, then they’ll do it, i mean I’m a living magnet for cluster b personalities so I’ve experienced those unhinged almost my whole life, no matter how strange it may sound, I’ve survived few killing attempts and regular abuse/torture, and these type of people acting all innocent after all they done, these type of people feel opportunity to do shit a mile away, recently I’ve come to conclusion, these type of people will do shit if they think/feel they can
How’s driving a car violent? Not exactly good for the environment but I wouldn’t classify that as violent or seriously harmful to any individual (assuming you don’t run anyone over)
Risking someone’s life in the event you don’t have perfect attention aside, no matter what happens in the car you will PM10 dust pollution that gives little kids asthma, and if it’s an ICE car you will release CO2 that brings all life on earth closer to extinction. It’s one of the single most massively violent acts an average human is capable of.
I mean, I’m all for giving jobs to humans and all, but isn’t monitoring a bunch of numbers and sending an alert when they go wrong one of the few things computers are actually objectively better at than humans are?
Edit: Holy crap people. I understand that they’re probably not there for that purpose. That was the entire point I was trying to make. You don’t ALL need to point out the obvious to me.
I would assume that these people are there mainly because they know what to do if something goes wrong, instead of sitting there for easily automatable tasks.
I also have to assume they probably do rotations, like watch/guard duty in the military, of control room and more active work, or it would get suuuuper boring real fast. Plus their skills would get rusty if nothing ever happened.
I’ve worked on SCADA systems. The most the keyboard was used for was logging in then then putting something heavy on it stop the computer going to sleep. System was entirely controlled by the mouse and head office didn’t consider that 1 person might be monitoring 4-6 computers on their own for an 8 hour shift and enforced a 5 minute idle lockout on all of them.
“Welcome to your new job Private. Here we run a fully automatic system. You just need to watch this screen and let me know if there are any issues with the bleeps, the sweeps or the creeps. Got that?”
