If I have to google an error code the OS already fucked up.
It's a good thing users never have to troubleshoot windows then
No, buying used chromebooks from sketchy Craigslist ads with the pickup location being a van down by the river is actually cheaper and easier.
man you are going to /hate/ windows then lol, the blue screen doesn't even give an error code anymore, just a "oops something went wrong" screen.
I like that, its exactly what it says on the tin. Something did indeed go wrong. When I get a blue screen, I didn't , I got an error that lead to a crash...also known as something going wrong.
People may not like it, but the closer a machine is to communicating in a human like manner the better it is.
And everyone who is tasked with fixing your constantly crashing shit doesn't like that, because it gives precisely zero actionable information with which to prevent future crashes. I may as well pull out my tarot deck to diagnose your problem. It's worse than useless, it's actively insulting.
That would be cool, actually. Venus is in retrograde therefore we get the error card of the inverted cups.
All computers communicate like humans. They are designed and built by humans after all and behave exactly as instructed, which is the origin of bugs and crashes. What you are referring to is talking in a dumbed down fashion so that you do not need to bother yourself. I guess many non-English speakers are not talking in a human manner in your opinion as well?
not until the admech gets invented. Donβt have implanted speakers and screech out binary? Congrats, human language.
