"Bork!Bork!Bork! London's Elizabeth Line is the latest thing in urban development (at least as far as the UK is concerned). So it seems appropriate that its borks should be similarly up to date, and its emoticons rotated so the intent cannot be mistaken. Sent in by an eagle-eyed Register reader, today's entry in the pantheon of bork was snapped at London's Paddington station,"
"By our reckoning, that looks like a recent Windows 10 blue-screen-of-death, where Microsoft has attempted to hide what has befallen the device in question behind a sad emoticon and the friendly text "Your PC ran into a problem." Something running into something else is never a thing a passenger wants to see on public transport, and we suspect that something has gone badly wrong behind the scenes. The stop code IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL usually happens when a process stomps over memory to which it should have access. Windows responds to such antics in time-honored fashion... by halting abruptly with a stop error."
Passenger information screens at Paddington station displayed a Windows 10 blue-screen-of-death with the message "Your PC ran into a problem." The visible stop code IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL typically signals that a process overwrote memory it should not access, prompting Windows to halt with a stop error. Several display characters were replaced with blocks and the help link used http rather than https, pointing to a possible video driver or video hardware fault. The issue was observed on the Elizabeth Line and a reader left before any reboot or recovery completed.
