Microsoft is testing a new BSOD that drops the frowning face, QR code, and traditional blue color.

    I don’t care what colour the screen is. Just make the damn error message useful. Give me something I can use to start my troubleshooting instead of this uwu sad face bullshit we’ve had since Win 8.

    Hell, keep your little sad face. But meet me halfway and give me a usable error code or message.

    I’m always curious about these kinds of changes. How many people and teams are involved in this? How many meetings had to happen to come to this decision? How many design documents are made? How much engineering time? It’s not a simple thing but it accomplishes absolutely nothing. I don’t get it.

      Thankfully we won’t have to rewrite years of forums for searchability. Not that it matters anymore

    I would prefer mine to give Bill Gates electroshocks right in the balls when it comes up! That way I wouldn’t just stay there staring at nothing useful on the screen, I would enjoy it 100%. I would probably try to break the computer on purpose.
