GoPro cutting 7 percent of its workforce

Actually it's a common error. Some buffer is 4 bytes for digits and overflows when 5 are written when the counter goes to 10000

Wouldn't you use modulo 10000 and then avoid that error?

Sure, you might overwrite some files, but at least you wouldn't brick the thing.

Come to think of it, I just saw this on a lottery machine last night. Powerball jackpot display was stuck at 999 million.
