Hi All,
In my continuing struggle to get stuff out the door, I came across a beauty my company has been running an eval of lens to fit our Cameras. These controllers have been in the field over 5 years. Looking over the test specs to retest the eval lens, I find no mention of the reset switch. So there is a reset switch by the Power connector, me, being me pressed said switch, nothing happens. Hold switch in nothing happens. Take cover off unit (with Torx screws) which a non-trivial, find a push button standing out for the PCB. So this approved unit has not been tested as there is a switch which does nothing (well it sends a logic level to the processor which ignores it). Raise a fault flag get dragged into three meeting for raising a fault flag with something that has been shipped! Yes it is safety critical!...

You are new at this place right? I remember when you were AtThePub. Not your fault if the previous person doing your job was lax. You were thorough. Stand your ground, especially if it is a safety issue. Fixing the faulty part will be a lot cheaper than being sued when the faulty part fails and someone is injured.

Which is what I said word for word. Like the other safety issue I raised that was just dangerous lots of complaining then it gets corrected and I get lots of praise by people that can't get me a rise!

Well it's not really human operable, buried in a roadside cabinet, you're supposed to remote In, but...

A physical button that's not human operable?
I for one welcome our robotic overlords.

Me: 'Of course I tried the reset switch! I'm not a complete moron!'
Tech Support: 'Ummm, yeah, that must be a defective switch. Please unplug the unit and wait for at least 2 minutes and retry. Thank You and Goodbye!'

Really? That was hard!
I did think that the definition wasn't going to be the "liar" part, but as I am off work on Monday I didn't put much effort in trying to solve it... though I doubt I would have ever got that one anyway.
That's the third unsolved one this week! I think we are all getting too mean

If I make them too easy someone gets it almost immediately - I need to find a balance

Which muppet at Microsoft decided to call RelWithDebInfo that? The abbreviation for Debug is Dbg, always has been, always will. And NOT Deb!

Why even shorten it at all? It's not like "debug" is a long word...
|

Because RelWithDebInfo is a long word.
