And somehow every single time the problem was so easy to solve, but apparently crying about it is the better solution.

    I mean, java and Microsoft errors are preceded by 120 characters of useless trash oftentimes, that is equally as infuriating.

      Or Windows gives you a blue screen and just “BAD_POOL_HEADER”.

      I got that intermittently at work on an instrument about every week or two. The best answer I could find was “it could be software or hardware related”. Yeah, thanks for that, problem solved. Wish I had thought of that. Not even a time stamp. Finally found out when it occurred to within 20 minutes and there was jack shit in the logs.

      IT ended up calling in a service tech to re-image the computer.

        Ah, windows logs, another amazing experience that doesn’t make me want to kill everyone.

        tail /var/log/thing.log is far too easy
