13_L0WL1F3_death_machine.mov

This week, the squad takes on the movie "Death Machine," the first film from director Stephen Norrington, better known as the director of Blade and more recently known as the guy who made Sean Connery quit acting. Come for the witty banter, stay for the moments when everyone realizes they've seen different cuts of the film.

12_L0WL1F3_stepped-on_limewire_downloads.flac

This week, the crew tries to figure out what does and doesn't fit under the umbrella of "cyberpunk music." Hint: It's way, way more broad than you might guess.

11_L0WL1F3_train_your_replacement

This week, Coinops breaks down a New York Times article that discusses "robotic process automation" and its effects on society and the workplace, Scum hates all of it, and Shadowlink is almost reduced to muttering syllables at the mention of the term: "digital workers." Also: a little bit about drones that kill moths. Original article: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/06/business/the-robots-are-coming-for-phil-in-accounting.html?smid=url-share

10_L0WL1F3_experience_by_proxy.doc

This week, Shadowlink talks about a totally normal and not at all creepy app that allows a user to stick any face on an interactive avatar, and Scum talks about cops using robot dogs, as well as a weird-ass art collective(?) that used a robot dog in an art installation. Meanwhile, CoinOps screams into the void a couple of times.

The crew digs into the 1995 nanotech/virtual reality sci fi thriller Virtuosity, starring Denzel Washington and, in a star-making turn, Russell Crowe.

08_L0WL1FE_recompiler.exe

In this episode, the crew discusses network security for public utilities, an app used by Amazon to track their employees even while they're clocked out, the state of Cyberpunk 2077 with regards to CoinOps' hard drive, and some recent books, games, and music.

07_L0WL1F3_hologram_man.mov

In this episode, we talk about rebranding overtime shifts as a "megacycle," a billionaire who is stepping down (but not really), and the 1995 movie "Hologram Man."

06_L0WL1F3_maximum_recursion_depth_exceeded

In this episode, Oldman Coinops tries to wrap his head around the whole GameStop/short-selling/hedge-fund clusterfuck with renegade financial operative, Clank. Also: The L0WL1F3 Podcast is now on Twitter, y'know, like the cool kids.

05_L0WL1F3_400_bad_request_error

This week, the conclusion of Oldman Coinops' tour of the Jan. 6th Capitol riot through the eyes of Parler. This episode covers the videos spanning 2:01pm-6:00pm. Check out the source: https://projects.propublica.org/parler-capitol-videos/

04_L0WL1F3_404_site_not_found

The guys get into Parler, which is arguably "cyber," though not very "punk." Scum regales us with the incredibly underwhelming origin story of the Parler site, and Oldman Coinops digs into the first two hours of video that was posted to Parler on January 6th, 2021, and arranged chronologically by ProPublica in this article: https://projects.propublica.org/parler-capitol-videos/
