Basically, it seems there’s some bit stuck on zero. Just compare the binary values of the letters:

In “Windows” => “Wandows”:

i = 01101001 a = 01100001

And in “Normally” => “Ngrmadly”:

o = 01101111 g = 01100111

l = 01101100 d = 01100100

You see, in the misplaced letters, the fifth bit is “zero” when you would expect it to be “one”. That’s the difference.

Also, it seems to happen on every fourth letter, but in some letters, we don’t see it because their fifth bit already is zero: “Wandows” has both the “i” (changed to an “a”) and the small “w” affected, but “w” is 01110111, so the bug doesn’t make a difference.

The middle green section is due to Islamic expansionism in the middle ages across the Middle East, Central Asia, and Africa. Green is a prevelant color in Islam and in muslim countries’ flags.

The red up north is due to European influence and the prevelance of red in flags derived from European culture, where red tends to have positive meaning. This includes early European colonialism like the US and Canada as well as China, who got their flag based on the red Soviet flag.

It has become the lucky charm in the IT industry because engineers believe it will make machine acting good (like the name of the snack) and stay in green light (like the color of the snack’s package) when a 乖乖 is put on top of a server.

It is the only food allowed in a server room and the biggest semicondoctor company in Taiwan (which is also the biggest worldwide) even commissioned the snack factory to make a customized version with blessing on the package.

This is how a server room is blessed by 乖乖. You put at least one on top of each server. It’s important that the engineers change them before the expire date because legend says the snack looses it’s power after expire date.

You’ll hear engineers swearing up and down that their server room crushed down the one time they forgot to change the snack.  Or some newbie ate the forbidden snack put on top of their server and caused a disastrous crush down.

The 乖乖 religion later spread to all people who want their machine to act nice. In the lab we put 乖乖 on ultra-low freezer (you really don’t want it to drop dead along with your 2 years’ worth of sample/data), mass spectrometer etc.

When Taiwan’s about to launch the first self made satellite in 2017, the develop team even put 乖乖 around the satellite model to prey for a successful launch (it did). This shit is real.
