Details or doublespeak?

@Schm1dtxbox, your edit summary reads:

Restored detail from my prior edit ...

No, you didn't. You restored some doublespeak and poor grammar. Changing "and" to "/" is bad enough, but the following is pure nonsense:

Starting with build 1607 of Windows 10

No, the change occurred in Windows 10 version 1607, whose major build number is 14393.

boot framebuffer resolution, over top of the active resolution

What are you trying to pull? Impress us with your ability to invoke pointless jargon? Waysidesc (talk) 14:51, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I changed out the "and" in order to note that the 2 Windows variants could be referred to interchangeably in this case, and to avoid repetition with what followed regarding how these Windows versions are not the only ones that render in that fashion, as I preferred not having "and" repeat twice.

The versioning issue you mentioned is a fair point, as I did use the wrong term there, although I doubt it makes that segment 'nonsense' as you describe. Schm1dtxbox (talk) 23:34, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Kindly don't tamper with my message. Waysidesc (talk) 09:21, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the 'jargon', I personally disagree to an extent, as I'd argue it more accurately describes how the BSOD renders with regards to varying boot-time and in-OS resolutions, as the BSOD doesn't scale it's contents at all when dealing with a higher in-OS resolution, which is why I used that description. The wording isn't great though, I agree, but I doubt there's any other way to describe it well, so you're free to view that how you wish.

I won't revert the changes again though since I'd rather not lead to any edit wars, just wanted to explain my view on this. Schm1dtxbox (talk) 23:21, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Add a list of Windows 7/8/8.1/10/11 error codes

Can you add those error codes please? I wanted to know them. Thanks! Cdmxm8807i8x (talk) 00:36, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
