When I plugged in the radio connection, Windows started to completely freeze. The taskbar was unresponsive, any programs I opened stopped responding to input, windows were dragged around randomly. At first I had no clue what was going on. Then I realized the only thing that changed was some colleagues who had taken some days off and were now back in the office. I asked one of them to use their mouse and type on the keyboard. Not much happened at first. Then I reconnected the radio antenna. 3/
Windows immediately blue-screened. I think I laughed out loud for a good 30 seconds before I could tell them that they just crashed my system with their mouse.
The best part is that the blue-screen of death mentioned a memory error. This catastrophe could have probably been avoided if Windows was written in Rust. Another day, another reason to use Rust. 4/
