A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Sure to annoy IT people but those just need a line of text while the rest of the screen is free real estate for Micro$oft! Public BSODs tend to go viral too.

Don't forget Brawndo, it's what computers crave.

"You seem to have no idea what this screen means. You might be interested in McAfee."

How would you even understand what the screen means if it doesn't tell you this anymore

Read the post body. It's two sentences.

That's not related to what I meant, I meant that the BSOD in its current state doesn't show anything useful; some generic error, a QR code leading to a generic page, a code that still doesn't let you find more than “I had a BSOD”...

So hypothetically McAfee dating “You don't seem to know what this screen means [..]” is ironic, as I don't think anybody does since Win 8.

Carl's Jr has determined you are unfit to operate a computer. Your data is now the sole property of Carl's Jr. Carl's Jr: Fuck you! I'm eating.
