I'm the rich text editor for something that goes out over sms and every legacy teletype system shoved in the back closet of every tv station on the planet.

this isn't even the first time someone's pushed the wrong buttonquote:It happened 43 years ago today, on February 20, 1971. On that Saturday morning at 9:33 AM Eastern time, Telex machines in every broadcast station in America that was part of the EBS suddenly rang urgently with ten successive bells–a signal only used for an imminent EBS warning–and then spat out a sheet reading, “This is an Emergency Action Notification directed by the president. Normal broadcasting will cease immediately.” The telex included the code word, “Hatefulness.” many stations ignored the original activation message, didn't receive it, or didn't know what to do when it came. it took 40 minutes for the government to even figure out how to cancel the message quote:There was chaos and confusion in the nation’s newsrooms. No one had ever seen an actual Emergency Activation Authentication before. The fact that the message came at the same time as a scheduled test added to the confusion. (As one New York radio station manager was quoted anonymously, "If the Russians want to attack us, they should do it at 9:33 on a Saturday morning.") Others argued that an actual emergency alert was supposed to be preceded by ten bells on the teletype; this alert had followed only three bells. While hundreds of radio and television stations followed the instructions and went off the air immediately after broadcasting an EAN message, many more did not.

hobbesmaster posted:it just seems odd that they were ready to go with the “certainty: observed” and “us pacific command” parts they probably went with the fail-deadly "most likely if real" default values to save 30 seconds if it was a for real alert rather than fail-safe dummy or blank values, which probably make more sense for a system that will be used in test mode tens of thousands of times for every real activation. that or someone asked "what would we do if we had to send a real one" and started adjusting the live system.

counter hot take: the original, better, design was overruled by a manager who didn't like some ui element, and will never face any consequences. glowing brain take: there was no ui design as such, just a ticket in the issue tracker: HEMERG-3315: test mode ability to test alerts

okay, normally i would say that someone saw this and wanted the radio buttons replaced with a drop down and also wanted to get rid of the authorization text field. but i bet nobody has touched that software since it was made and that is 100% accurate to this day

Via one of the grey IT threads in SH/SC forums: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/52345 quote:Although VMware strongly recommends that customers obtain microcode patches through their hardware vendor, as an aid to customers, VMware also included the initial microcode patches in ESXi650-201801402-BG, ESXi600-201801402-BG, and ESXi550-201801401-BG. Intel has notified VMware of recent sightings that may affect some of the initial microcode patches that provide the speculative execution control mechanism for a number of Intel Haswell and Broadwell processors. The issue can occur when the speculative execution control is actually used within a virtual machine by a patched OS. At this point, it has been recommended that VMware remove exposure of the speculative-execution mechanism to virtual machines on ESXi hosts using the affected Intel processors until Intel provides new microcode at a later date. Um... oops?
