Reporting this as a "software glitch" is misleading. As I understand it, it's a software workaround for a hardware problem, and the hardware problem is susceptibility to solar radiation.
Global airlines worked to fix a software glitch on their Airbus A320 jets as a recall by the European plane-maker temporarily grounded aircraft in Asia and Europe.

Every time I run in my worn out Vaporfly shoes, I acquire a set of small stones in the foam soles, which I pry out when I get home.
But those shoes are still faster than the non-Vaporfly pair I bought to replace them!

When I started buying CDs, record shops contained mostly vinyl records and had just a few shelves of CDs.
The difference now is that vinyl albums are roughly twice the price of CDs, the reverse of back then.

Last year on the Twelfth of July, we went to the Battle of the Boyne site only to learn that the battle had been fought the previous day! The Twelfth is the day King Billy's side celebrated their victory.

In Germany, my cousin’s teacher announced one day that they were going to start learning English.
When she started speaking English, my cousin corrected her.
That wasn’t English, my cousin said, it was Irish! That’s how she spoke when she was in Ireland!
