Glyph on Nostr: I saw someone ask the other day what the kernel panic screen looks like on Apple ...
I saw someone ask the other day what the kernel panic screen looks like on Apple Silicon, and I realized that I wasn't sure I'd seen a panic at all on my M1; a far cry from my frequent acquaintance with the "You need to restart your computer" screen. Felt good, for a moment, about the improvements to reliability.
Today I achieved a kernel panic by accidentally appending to a BytesIO in Python unit test in a loop. (What this looks like is "full-screen magenta flash for one frame, then reboot.)
