      not just throw and error number at you and close

      Lol every Microsoft error I’ve seen in the last few years has been of the “Oops! Something went wrong!” variety. I would kill for a fucking error number.

        Not like it matters, even when google finds a promising link, Microsoft has invariably moved or deleted the article, but instead of just telling you it’s gone, you get the windows 11 landing page…

        Fucking Apple going down that route too.

        “<Your disc> can’t be ejected as it’s in use”

        It fucking ain’t. I’ve force quit all the fucking apps you shithead. The only way to safely eject is to shut down.

          My macbook is circa 2012 and many years ago my CD drive just completely vanished from Finder. No indication that it exists anywhere, so no hope of ejecting the old CD that’s stuck in there now, and of course I can’t stick a fresh CD in. My kingdom for a fucking physical eject button.

          I remember trying to use a Mac back in the early '90s. There was no disk eject button and the power button was this big knob sitting right next to the disk drive exactly where a rational person would expect there to be an eject button, so I kept accidentally powering off the computer whenever I wanted to eject a disk. Took me some time to accept the incredibly intuitive dragging the drive icon onto the fucking trash can to eject.

        I saw this one recently in a car: “Error: USB input.” Okay, so what am I supposed to do now?
