yeah "machine too weak" is not a reason for crashing

"Your machine is too weak" has served me well in IT for nearly 30 years.

well, 30+ years ago i used to help computer users by telling them _they_ were too weak, and they'd have to take charge and slap the computer around to solve their problem (i'd then physically swat the terminal housing)

(whatever a "weak computer" is, a modern OS shouldn't let an application crash for lack of resources)
