Weirdest bug yet:

In Adobe Animate 2024, advanced layers cannot have special characters like '/' and '@', so they get replaced with an '_'. E.g: "a/bc" becomes "a_bc".

But for some reason, the string "lt" triggers this check, and it gets renamed to "lt_idn".

I tried several other letter combinations but this is the only one I found that confuses the algorithm. What the heck? 😂

What Happens When A Bug Rears Its Head At Mach Two?

While some may see amateur rocketry as little more than attaching fins to a motor and letting it fly, it is, in fact, rocket science. This fact became very clear to [BPS.space] when a parachute dep…

#Safeway (#Albertsons) self-check-out station software bug - consumer-facing *production software* in use in major national grocery store chain! WTH! - app in endless loop. Message: “Please wait, help is on the way”. Workaround: go to other checkout station and scan everything all over. ☹️😡 Hyper-capitalist commerce in the early 21st century.😡

On January 15, 1990, a single line of buggy C code brought down AT&T's entire long-distance network for 9 hours, affecting 75 million phone calls. The culprit? A misplaced "break" statement in a software update for their 4ESS switching systems. The disaster began when a switch received a second call-attempt message while it was already in the middle of resetting its internal logic - something the software wasn't designed to handle.
Here's the kicker: the bug was in error-recovery code that was supposed to make the system MORE reliable. When the switch's software encountered this unexpected second message during reset, it couldn't process the conflicting instruction and declared its own processor "insane." To prevent spreading the problem, the switch shut itself down and notified other switches it was out of service. But when it came back online and started sending normal call processing messages again, those messages arrived at neighboring switches that were themselves in the middle of resetting after hearing about the outage - triggering the exact same bug nationwide.
The incident taught the telecom industry crucial lessons about software testing and gradual rollouts. AT&T had tested the code extensively, but never under the specific real-world conditions that triggered the bug. It also demonstrated how a single line of code could paralyze critical infrastructure that millions of people depended on daily.
This event helped shape modern software deployment practices and redundancy planning that we still use today.
