Just realized how wrong I was about that big tech outage story from February

I saw the headline about the cell networks going down and just assumed it was a huge hack, like in the movies. Then I read the full report from the FCC and it was basically a guy in Tennessee messing up a software update at a major carrier. The whole thing was fixed in like 12 hours, but the news made it sound like the end of the world for days. Anyone else get totally spun up by a headline only to find the real story was way more boring?

Got a real jolt from a mislabeled 3-way switch in an old Akron house yesterday

The homeowner said the dining room light had never worked right, and after tracing the wires for an hour, I found the common terminal on the old switch was wired with the red traveler, so I swapped it with the black wire from the two-conductor cable and it finally worked... anyone have a good trick for quickly spotting a messed-up 3-way when the wiring isn't color-coded?
