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

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

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

So many times I see junior Devs (or not so juniors) and normies seeing an error message and, visibly, static plays between their ears on their mental TV set, then they just click the first button that looks appropriate and complain it didn’t work.

The text of the message does not get read or parsed.

“You need to close the program to continue”. Doesn’t work.

“Unexpected X at line N” Doesn’t work.

Drives me insane.

You can get game pass for PC so, probably that way around
