G code is a small part of my job.

I primarily write statistical analysis routines, gauge feedback handling, and spindle and axis drive motor load monitoring, and turn that into api calls to the machine to tweak feeds and speeds in real-time, and as well as direct manipulation of offsets. I jump back and forth between VB and C for this. As I stated, I write computer software in my personal life as well, including a small cad program for a customer that would generate g code from circles and lines, and a title that was carried by the Macininist's Ready Reference for a number of years. In my early years, I took an assembly language course on the 6809 processor, which uses a near-identical code set to the 80x86 architecture.

I'm not trying to be a giant dick, but I do know a little about the subject. Don't state your position by calling me retarded, because your discussion assumes I don't know anything and is therefore pointless in its focus. Use better rhetoric.

As I said, the magnitude is the point... a simple g code program goes through a rigorous process to ensure it does exactly what it should with no potential for deviating, and the program is not only transparent, it is documented in small words to prevent any misunderstanding from people who can't read g code.

Why is expecting anything less from voting software a bad thing?

first off. from your post there was no way for me to gauge that you have any experience more what you initially claimed. Hence why i called you a retard... You are correct that it should go through a rigorous UAT

With that being said. My point about this being in the hardware is still valid and thats exactly how you would get through UAT... could literally have a little MEMS device in the hardware that is turned on when in the vicinity of a certain frequency (especially something in the 5g spectrum)

But tbh they probably didnt do it that well. its was too rushed. so in this case your OG post is right and honestly i hope thats the case. because easier to catch these treasonous bastards.
