A new “Neuromancer" teaser gives more details of AppleTV's upcoming series based on @GreatDismal@mastodon.social's genre-defining cyberpunk novel. In the trailer, the mysterious Armitage hires ace console jockey Case to help him activate his legally-purchased copy of Microsoft Office 365. Frustrated by Case's failure and an endless series of “Unknown Error 0x0 “ pop-ups, Armitage orders street samurai Molly to kill everyone in Redmond, but she is unable to buy a plane ticket because the 2FA email never arrives.

@angusm@mastodon.social @GreatDismal@mastodon.social Case is later hunted by an Oracle hit team sent to collect his overdue Java licensing fees.

@angusm@mastodon.social @GreatDismal@mastodon.social Somebody's gotta be funny around here. Sure the fuck.... ... actually, it IS you, today. I'm going back to re-read this new EULA on my Ono-Sendai now. Hope it's still just the standard black-ice-is-not-our-fault language.
