That's awesome. Reminds me of programming UIs.
I wrote the UI for a media player once. Our QA found a way to crash the player.
"OH hey! I think I found a bad bug. Here, watch. You start a video, immediately hit stop, then start, then rewind, all before the video is done buffering. See? Crashed."
Me: "I... who would... all before playback begins? Uh.... OK yeah, I think I know why it's... is anyone actually going to... FUCK. Guess I'm staying late tonight"
Rule number 1 for engineering. No matter what, there IS someone stupid enough to get themselves into that edge case if it exists.
I mean, of course it should be able to handle that. Hitting the playback control buttons in any sequence, at any speed, at any given time or any state of the program or media shouldn't crash it. If it does you did something wrong. Asking questions about who would ever do that is bizarre to me because that's not the issue. It's not the user being stupid, it's just a fragile system that should be robust.
Yes, hence the reluctant acceptance that it was something urgent I needed to fix, and why I fought so hard to get a QA on my team in the first place. They think so much differently than devs, and dream up conditions I couldn't begin to imagine.
I’d say it’s also bad engineering to assume everyone has a good internet connection. These actions become much more likely as the buffering g time increases
And then Samsung copied them by asking customers to not insert their phone stylus upside-down.
This is a community dedicated to discussion around historical arms, mechanically unique arms, and Ian McCollum's Forgotten Weapons content. Posts requesting an identification of a particular gun (or other arm) are welcome.

Rules:
1) Treat Others in a Civil Manner. This is not the place to deride others for their race, sexuality, or etc. Personal insults of other members are not welcome here. Neither are calls for violence.
2) No Contemporary Politics Historical politics that influenced designs or adoption of designs are excluded from this rule. Acknowledgement of existing laws to explain designs is also permissable, so long as comments aren't in made to advocate or oppose a policy. Let's not make this a place where we battle over which color ties our politicians should have, or the issues of today.
3) No Advertising This rule doesn't apply to posting historical advertisements or showing more contemporary ads as a means of displaying information on an appropriate topic. The aim of this rule is to combat spam/irrelevant advertising campaigns.
4) Keep Post on Topic This rule will be enforced with leeway. Just keep it related to arms or Forgotten Weapons or closely adjacent content. If you feel you have something that's worth posting here that isn't about either of those (and doesn't violate other rules) feel free to reach out to a mod.
5) No NSFW Content Please refrain from posting uncensored extreme gore or sexualized content. If censored these posts may be fine.
Post Guide Lines
These are suggestions not rules.
-Provide a duration for videos. eg. [12:34]
-Provide a year to either indicate when a specific design was produced, patented, or released. If you have an older design being used in a recent conflict provide the year the picture was taken. Dates should be included to help contextualize, not necessarily give exact periods.
-Post a full URL, on mobile devices it can be hard to tell what you're clicking on if you only see "(Link)".
-Posts do not have to be just firearms. Blades, bows, etc. are also welcome.
