That can't be good: A Microsoft Windows "blue screen of death" appears on the centerfield video screen at T-Mobile Park just ahead of a Mariners rally

    I’m sure they would not entrust such a thing to a Windows OS in reality lol

      My friend, have you ever configured an LED signboard before? If not, what you will learn will shock you…

      …a lot of these boards are controlled by proprietary chinese software that only functions on Windows XP… even today.

      As to why they don’t have a more modern OS connected to a signboard that obviously supports at least VGA and probably HDMI… I don’t know. Especially since the BSOD is a Windows 10 BSOD… XP did not have QR code sad face BSODs at the time.

        This was a prerecorded video, if you did not catch that.

            Well, the BSOD without a reboot should have been the giveaway. The keyboard clicking noises should have been another.

              Didn’t see a video of it anywhere on the article. Either my browser didn’t support or idk.

        A lot of ATM cash machines run Windows 7. Yes, still.

      The first thing I noticed. I was confused, thinking maybe they had an old XP machine lying around to plug in after the main one failed, but then I read further and it was just a stunt

    Funny when companies use M$ for production systems. So unreliable for anything other than secretarial duties and gaming.

      So unreliable except for what 98% of the world uses it for?
