This can't be real... are you serious? It sounds like one of those silly buisness parabels!

  Even if this poster made it up, I'm certain it is also true at least once over, having remediated a near-identical problem from one of my employers' products at one point, and talked developers out of implementing it at least once at a different employer.

  It sounds like Dell’s iDRAC somehow. (Not that it is, but iDRAC had me scared more often than not)

    The time iDrac annoyed me the most is when I bricked a server trying to update it. I made the terrible mistake of jumping too far between versions and the update broke iDrac and thus the server. There was no warning on Dell's website nor any when I applied the update. I only found out what happened after some googling where I found the upgrade path I should have taken. This is just terrible quality control and software engineering.

  The older I get, the less I care if individual stories like this are true. The fact that they could be is concerning enough :) And they are educational nonetheless.

    A good perspective! People find fiction novels to be enriching and filled with learning despite the fact they are just entertaining lies.
