"some embedded controllers in racks in the auxilliary deisel generator control rooms have EPROMs which have been known to be erased by camera flashes in the past"
echoes of the Raspberry Pi camera flash reboot story, 13 years apart :)

- fredoralive 5y agoBeing apparently able to erase old style glass top EPROMs with a camera flash is perhaps a bit less surprising than random power components messing up. UV light exposure is how you erase them normally, although you normally use lower light levels for longer, not a short bright camera flash. I do think they need to buy higher grade sticky labels to cover the window with though. :-)
