Hi Timo !

 

Looks nice indeed :D But then we would need some “KeQrCodeGenerator” function (of some sorts, I let you think about the “NTOS” function prefix ^^) I suppose?

 

Best,

Hermès

Objet : Re: [ros-dev] Making bluescreens more useful

 


I like it. I recently thought about another possibility to make the BSOD more useful: A QR code.
A QR code can contain up to almost 3 KB of arbitrary data or 4 KB text.

Here's a quick example (1425 characters)
Try it out, use your phone and scan it :)

We often get bug reports with just a screenshot of a bluescreen; we then
go ahead and tell people that bluescreens are basically useless, they
should get a debug log and a backtrace, and also remember to tell us
what version they're using.
 
Since there's actually no reason why bluescreens need to be useless, I
thought I'd try to change that.
I've attached an example. The source for this quick PoC can be found at

Thoughts?
