[cross-posting to dev-platform] Hello all,:willkg just deployed a change to crash-stats that explicitly flags crashes known to be caused by faulty hardware and thus not actionable. The crash signature for these crashes will start with "bad hardware" making it abundantly clear that there's nothing we can do to address them. You can see an example of these crashes with this query:
https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/search/?signature=~bad%20hardwareCurrently this is limited to crashes on Windows that are caused by accessing faulty disks. We'll flag more crash types as we introduce new ways of detecting them.
Currently these make up 0.28% of all Windows crashes in the past 24H which is a stunningly large number IMHO.
This information is also available at crash time so we might evaluate ways of informing the user that their machine is at fault. I'm open to suggestions on this topic as they'd involve dedicated UX and front-end work which is outside of my area of expertise.
