Terror has a new shade. What once was blue darkened with time until all that remains is a backend void, empty as the OLED allows. Yes, that's right, Microsoft is changing the infamous Blue Screen of Death, aka the BSOD to black instead of blue. At least we won't have to learn a new acronym for our endless fears.
Spotted by The Verge, Microsoft is getting ready to toss out the 40-year old blue screen of death in favour of a black one when Windows just can't hack it anymore. The feature comes as an overhaul to the error message in Windows 11, and even drops the sideways ascii sad face that has been there to comfort me for all these years.
