/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

I’d think they were already mass storing data at that point. Just your typical person wouldn’t have access to it over the internet. You’d think a terminator could access those networks though.
Of course I think this scene was using the dog’s name? Probably your dog’s name wasn’t in the Publisher’s Clearing House mainframe tapes, like it would later be available on Facebook.
Well they would have storage of key data points like criminal history, citizen level data, social security/tax stuff and disconnected medical data. But it's not something a T-1000 would be able to easily plug into a phone jack and get all in 1 quick swoop.
If you recall the movie War Games, for the most part that was shit you could actually do. Provided you know the right phone number and login. I mention publishers clearing house, because we still got junk mail back then, and all of those names weren’t stored in a Rolodex and manually typed into an envelope. So there were databases. But having the dog’s name, that would be hard to find. Maybe if you got real lucky, their vet would have a computer system and a modem.
The kid was hacking ATMs. Surely a T1000 could get access to that bank data. Which would have plenty of personal info. But again, probably no dog name.
