CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) is a fancy way of saying "let's add up a bunch of 1's and 0's to see if this data is still intact". It's like the tech equivalent of asking "are we there yet?" on a long road trip, except instead of annoying your parents, you're annoying the CPU.
I was trying to send a file to the new guy but he kept whining about a CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) error, as if I have time to deal with his PEBKAC issues.
The QA team kept going on about CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) failures in the latest build - don't they know I have actual features to ship instead of chasing phantom data gremlins?
Cyclic Redundancy Checks: Wikipedia dives deep into the thrilling mathematical underpinnings of CRCs, if you're into that sort of thing.
CRC Series, Part 1: CRC Theory: This Embedded.com article breaks down CRC theory for those who want to know what's really going on under the hood.
Understanding and implementing CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check): GeeksforGeeks provides a more hands-on tutorial for implementing CRC checks yourself, you know, in case your framework of choice is too hipster to include it.
