EDIT / UPDATE: I've now seen a second article about this change. The first didn't include an image, and described the removal of all information related to the specific error. This second one shows a copy, and it still appears to include the filename containing the code that crashed the kernel and whatever Windows calls an errno value. It appears the first article is mistaken, and they've just removed the QR code that has been present for a few years?

Pray for me my friends… 🤦🏾‍♂️
