      The (BSOD) thing is - that for some reason I can't play any YT video some parts of the day. Open anything and all you get is the swirly loading icon. But, you can click the timeline and see that content is there, regardless of browser... And no one can tell me why - as we don't block it or throttle it. People are playing Spotify at the same time - so it's bandwidth issue either.....

        I've had issues like that before too - never found a solution.

          I would test cross platform, but since I get 'yelled at ' for Powershell, I'm not putting Linux on the network.

                Because if it wasn't blue, calling it the blue screen of death would have been way too confusing.

                  He didn't get to the bottom of it, except that Win10 was blue because the developer's workstation had white on blue text.

                  The question then becomes, why was that white on blue? Probably because almost all applications in the 80s used a blue color scheme. Which was logical because there were only 8 colors to pick from and blue was the only dark background color besides black.

                    They're all have a blue color scheme.

                        Not to give your network / sec guys any problems, but run it in VirtualBox with the network set to NAT... then from the perspective of the ones doing the yelling it should only be seen as just another app.
