The original HOPE (Hackers On Planet Earth) was in 1994 and it's where the phrase "Hack The Planet" originated. The "Hack The Planet" phrase was also used in the movie Hackers and, if you look closely, you can spot some yellow HOPE 1994 stickers in various scenes.

You'd pay for it what you paid for it. Did the "Buy" button specify that you were buying the movie or did it say you were simply leasing the film and that it can be removed at any time due to licensing agreement over which you (as the buyer) had no control over?

I wonder if this is the real reason Tim Cook is resigning as CEO. He's a supply chain guy and semiconductor supply chains seem utterly borked right now.

1996 was 30 years ago. What about comparing prices from 3 years ago? 2023 vs 2026.

Which article is wrongm Both the article and Wikipedia entry focus on The Backrooms which are a type of liminal space. Yes, liminal spaces have existed in fiction, dreams, etc. However, here the discussion is on The Backrooms and how that idea and aesthetic became very popular very quickly.

The concept did not originate in videogames. The whole thing started from a 4chan post where someone posted a photo of a yellow interior. Then, in 2022, Kane Parsons created a viral YouTube video based on that post. You can see it here: https://youtube.com/watch?v=H4dGpz6cnHo . The video game adaptations all came later.

Wikipedia has a good writeup here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Backrooms
