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? 😂

Just when you thought jury duty couldn't get more stressful... a bug in Tyler Technologies' jury systems exposed sensitive juror data across several US states. "Easy-to-exploit" is a chilling phrase, isn't it?

A rare #softwarebug and faulty #automation caused a cascading failure in #AWS’s #DynamoDB database service, leading to a widespread #outage. The company has disabled the faulty automation, plans to fix the bug, and will implement #safetychecks to prevent future incidents. geekwire.com/2025/how-the-aws- #tech #media #news

#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.

This is a reoccurring bug in Stern Pinball's James Bond. After finishing a villain mini wizard mode, the game kills the flippers and collects the balls, as it's supposed to, but then gives a ball but does not enable the flippers. Now you have a situation that you have a live ball, but can't do anything with it. The situation fixes after a drain, but since there's no ball save, it's a lost ball which hurts a lot if you're down to your last one and the actual end is near.

Sucks that @mapilio #Mapilio iOS street-level image app chokes - "Server Error" - when attempting to upload sequence to server.😕😡 Not a great #OpenStreetMap #OSM ally 😕😡
P.S. App usually launches w/images upside down - FCOL learn how to query sensors!

Mando has a curious bug. If you trigger the miniplayfield entry opto during attraction mode, it starts the encounter mode, then backs out to the attraction mode. I assume they forgot to disable this part of the code for the attraction mode. #pinball #softwarebug

🚨Wow, someone discovered a security flaw! All hail the tech hero who bumbled upon a bug in software made to be unhackable.🛡️ It’s like accidentally finding a secret passage in a LEGO castle—totally intentional and absolutely deserving of a blog post with a self-indulgent menu.🍽️

Following lengthy delays ⏳🥱, #Ariane6 blasted off on July 9 and successfully carried out a series of trials. But the mission ended with the launcher coasting in orbit without releasing its final batch of payloads. The #Arianespace CEO said the failure had been traced to a #software flaw that would be repaired before the next launch. reuters.com/technology/space/a
