minus-square@raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink3•2 days agoNo, that’s the whole misconception here. cycling a switch means returning to the previous state. Turning it off and on again means going from ON -> OFF -> ON. Software problems are solved by going from one state to a different state.
