This reminds me of when I was about 14. I had a Tamagotchi which I had for a record amount of time. My niece, about 2 at the time wanted to see it so let her hold it. Within 1/2 a second, she squeezed both buttons at the same time and crashed it.
My daughter managed to buy 24 hours of football pass with NowTV by pressing the same button repeatedly on the remote within about 5 seconds.
So a crash like this doesn't surprise me.
- _puk 6y agoHah, just reminded me.. My daughter, whilst roaming in the US from the EU somehow managed to get unlimited data after her initial miserly roaming allowance was used up.. simply by switching airplane mode on and off repeatedly until data worked. I was stressing getting back home to a huge bill, but kept the "all chargeable services have been stopped" messages just in case. My final bill was £300+, zeroed. Phew!

- berkes 6y agoWe had some race conditions that started appearing more often over time. Those race conditions could be triggered by rapidly firing events on a busy backend. After long research, we found correlation with marketing moving their target from only students to 'older people'. Apparently the latter 'doubleclick' on links and buttons in webforms far more often. At least for us they did.
