David Chartier<p>“It’s been a long time that we’ve come to know this cobalt harbinger of trouble. When the BSOD first appeared in the 1985 version of Windows 1.0, it was legal to smoke cigarettes on planes; Germany was two separate countries; HTML code had not been created; Mark Zuckerberg was a baby who likely had not yet grasped the concept of object permanence.” <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/Microsoft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Microsoft</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/BSOD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BSOD</span></a> <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/06/26/windows-killed-the-blue-screen-of-death/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">techcrunch.com/2025/06/26/wind</span><span class="invisible">ows-killed-the-blue-screen-of-death/</span></a></p>
Brad Linder<p>The Windows BSOD will soon go from blue to black (thus keeping the same initials). The user interface will be simpler, providing a little info about the stop code and info about what caused the failure. <a href="https://www.engadget.com/computing/windows-is-finally-kicking-the-blue-screen-of-death-to-the-curb-172011343.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">engadget.com/computing/windows</span><span class="invisible">-is-finally-kicking-the-blue-screen-of-death-to-the-curb-172011343.html</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/BSOD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BSOD</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Windows11" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Windows11</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/BlueScreenofDeath" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlueScreenofDeath</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/BlackScreenOfDeath" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlackScreenOfDeath</span></a></p>

Paul Shread<p>CrowdStrike is facing at least a little sales uncertainty in the wake of the global Microsoft Windows outage, but the most interesting thing may be how sharply analysts’ long-term growth estimates have fallen.

Paul Shread<p>CrowdStrike’s root cause analysis (RCA) of the massive Windows BSOD outage details an extraneous input parameter field that went unnoticed for 5 months until it was called by a July 19 update, resulting in an out-of-bounds memory read error that crashed 8.5 million machines around the globe. And the latest in the post-outage legal battle, as Microsoft challenges Delta’s version of events. <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/CrowdStrike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CrowdStrike</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Outage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Outage</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Microsoft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Microsoft</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Legal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Legal</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Cybersecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cybersecurity</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Security" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Security</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/BSOD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BSOD</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Windows</span></a> <br><a href="https://thecyberexpress.com/crowdstrike-root-cause-analysis/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">thecyberexpress.com/crowdstrik</span><span class="invisible">e-root-cause-analysis/</span></a></p>
