I work in IT so basically everything
So two people typing in one keyboard doesn't make the hack faster?
If you broaden it a little from job/hobby to living in the real setting of a movie, you'll notice characters going places that make no sense at all. Like if it's Seattle they might start a boating scene on Lake Union and ends up at Mercer Island, swinging by Alki beach on the way.
As a kid watching Miami Vice, except for a few external shots I was like "Umm... that's not miami..."
And the few shots that were kind of just had Sonny and Rico walk-talking past buildings that were like eight blocks apart from each other in the same conversation

Click click clickety-click... I'm in! Click click click... okay, I've hacked the corporate security system and unlocked all the doors, click click... here's the floor plan.
Can you disable the cameras?
Hang on... click click... okay you're good.
To be fair there are a few Unify router setups in even big corporate settings that use the default passwords, and if you can get into the control panel, you pretty much could disable basically anything in a few keystrokes
I have changed annoying PA music in public venues from my phone, for example
But yeah, movies almost never get IT or secops correct

there's a scene in "Silo" where a character needs to repair a massive steam-powered turbine that is off-balance, scraping at the housing, and heading towards collapse. all fine and we'll, it's sci-fi, so whatever, they can make magic quick fixes to move the plot along.
what really bugged me, for some reason, is how characters started touching the internal components immediately after it powers down - I have to wait for significantly smaller motors to cool off before handling them, especially if they're rotating poorly with a bad bearing, and burning from friction.
Silo also has several falls that should absolutely kill people. One that's like dozens of feet into the pile that they throw all sorts of sharp metal objects on? Dead.
Free falling off a bridge with just a rope tied around your waist that stops you? At the very least your back is fully broken, but that fall looked long enough that you should just be dead. Full Gwen Stacy.
You act that way because you work in a career that can dismember you if you are careless, so you've trained yourself in ways that almost no actor could ever capture, and certainly no screenwriter would ever consider

I said it loud too while watching it: “that shit’s over 100°C… and they’re going right in?”
If there is a god to bless people, then people like you deserve it the most.

I have not unlocked a single chasity belt, it doesnt even come up as a service they might need.
I don't think I've ever seen my job in a movie. The only place I could imagine industrial embroidery ever showing up on screen would be as the setting for a chase scene or something.
Now you're making me want to write a story about a high stakes embroidery counterfeiting ring
I wanna see the flight scene in one of those shops now where someone gets embroidered during the fight.
I also work with industrial embroidery machines (not directly, we just have them at work) so I know the like 10 seconds under a needle wouldn't be enough time to do anything really, but I'm imagining a room full of machines making military name strips, hero blocks a goons punch and shoves his hand under a needle while the goon yells in agony. Camera focuses on how horrified face as he lifts his hand to reveal "Maj. Payne" embroidered across his hand. The goon then faints.
