What will undoubtedly happen is that someone will train an AI on the original live-action Firefly series and then use it to convert the animated series to live-action. Initial attempts will look like AI slop, but I think we can be sure that by 2030 (or 2035 at the latest), later attempts will look as good as real.
I think it will be done with Star Trek: The Animated Series as well. That could be converted to live action, too.

Back in MY day we had to program in binary. And we didn't even have a keyboard to do it with. No punch cards either. We just had to shout it at the serial port.

My first PC had an Intel 8080 CPU and had 64 KiB of RAM (in those days called "64K" because people were stuck in the mindset of small powers of two back then, and it just so happened that 2^10 is close enough to 10^3 that nobody much cared; the notion of a gigabyte or a terabyte was decades in the future).

[...] the 8086, the Z8000, and the Motorola 68000. IBM took the least of these and released a PC.
I'm sure you know this, but it was actually the 8088 that was in the first IBM PC, not the 8086. The 8086 didn't appear in an IBM system until a couple years later—the PC/AT.

further back you wish to tamper the more exponentially difficult it is.
Is that true? The difficulty goes up exponentially with the distance back? I would think the work increases linearly. You really mean exponentially?

For iMessage, you should have the option to choose to fall back to unencrypted SMS.
Whoops! You accidentally wrote that backwards.
For iMessage, you should not have the option to fall back to unencrypted SMS. That's the danger of it.
