It looks like some of our users have encountered a well-known error message with most unnecessary error messages. There are a number of factors causing this problem. Let’s look at them now.

â € To be wrong, to actIt’s a real screw up, you have to have a computer. This is the old unwelcome joke attributed to Paul Ehrlich. He seemed to be right. One of the things that defines programs is that they – or rather, we who program them – are wrong. Consequently, the error only occurs for messages that have existed for almost as long as the computers themselves.
According to error theory, information campaigns should be painful at worst and lifeless at best. They tend to become mysterious; they rarely apologize, even when they should; they like to collect unnecessary information, such as hexadecimal numbers, that help hide useful facts, like simple English explanations of how the right choice was made. In many ways, most of those who do this present technology in its annoying form.
In fact, people have an emotional connection with many of them – like Madeleine von Proust, good news from a car in your company’s past can bring you back to life. This is most of the reasonThey are used by people to document clubs to mark them, get tattoos, register them in the name of Wikipedia, and name albums after them. An entire company with the wonderful name Errorwear exists to help you put classic error images like Blue Screen of Death (in four Guru flavors!), Meditation, Death-related Red Ring and Sad Mac on T-shirts to shine.
And this time there is an article – my attempt to collect the most important error messages in history over the past thirty years. I’ve categorized the kids based on a variety of factors, including the exact number of people they’ve cheated with over the years, their aesthetic appeal or lack thereof, and the likelihood that they’ll alert shoppers to a true computer disaster. Your men’s tour is probably different from mine, and that’s the real reason this story ends with a poll on the last page.
Ready? Let’s take a look at each list, starting at number thirteen and working our way up to the largest error message of all.
Errors in the form of status codes are provided so you can quickly see what is also preventing it from working. While they think they need a foreign language if you don’t know them, knowing each of the coding techniques makes it easier to understand what’s going on with someone’s email or on your website.
13. Undo, RedoTry, failed? (MS-DOS)
In many cases, there is still a good error message to judge other error messages based on the error. It’s close. (Three words.) This is confusing. (What is the difference between Abort and Fail?) This could be a minor defect (you forgot to insert a floppy disk into the floppy drive) or a crash (the hard drive is disconnected). And forcing yourself to help you choose between three options, none of which most likely will work, brings you back to the heart of the problem.
Give up, try again, fail? – well-known earlier versions of MS-DOS, which have the equally unreliable name Abort, Retry, Ignore? were created. ARF was probably the first bug topic to hit the national scene, as the term was used as a term in a long-standing computer magazine column alongside British technopopist White Town’s 1996 album. In this post-floppy era, few of us are affected. But just by saying this phrase, I go back to the days when I often sat in front of the computer, sending a message, accidentally pressing keysand A, R and F in the hope that something warm and healthy will happen …
12. Meditation Guru (Commodore Amiga)
This was a famous advanced multimedia notebook since it was not developed in the mid 1980s … … But his most disturbing error message was decidedly red-minimalist: a copy on a black background, only masked by a flashing red border. Like many bugs, it contained hexadecimal numbers, many of which didn’t make sense from 99 to 9999999999999% of what some people have encountered. But they were preceded by the expression “guru meditation.” When I was running the Amiga, I never really understood what that meant; Emphasizing that you have a say in Zen has never helped me lower my blood pressure. As it turned out, unfortunately, it was obvious that this was the last game that the Amiga designers had fun on while creating their first product, Joyboard – the Atari VCS joystick you were standing on. Har, Har.
Like the latest Windows blue screen of death, Guru the Meditation has appeared in the stupidest places, welcoming widespread use of the Amiga inthe streaming industry and other audiovisual projects. One day I turned on the TV and saw the guru meditating on the screen, and I also resorted to restarting my Amiga – until I found it wasn’t even there – in the same room or the same living quarters. My cable operator’s channel manager came out broke.
11. Red Screen with Death (Windows)
Does Microsoft’s famous death screens come in different colors? Who Knew According to Wikipedia, some beta versions of Longhorn – the operating system that became Windows Vista – crashed and displayed a full-screen error message that was more yellow than the more familiar blue. Wikipedia seems to be saying that Vista’s top brand with a turquoise color scheme could die if the bootloader also causes problems. I’m glad I said that as long as I can remember, I have never met him.
An error message is information that appears when a problem occurs unexpectedly, usually on a computer and / or possibly another device. Designing error messages well is an important issue in the good and other areas of human-machine interaction.
However, I like the idea of exclusive SoD in designer color. Maybe Microsoft should team up with the biggest red (products) and relaunch RSoD as a charity? If Iknew that every time my computer wheezed for fifty cents for a good reason, I would be at least a little less apoplectic.

A good error message has three parts: identifying the error, describing the reason in detail if useful, and, if possible, a solution. Every time an error occurs, the user wants to fix it as soon as possible. The error message should contain enough information to enable the user to help his dog friend get out of the error situation.
