Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Microsoft is replacing Windows' iconic Blue Screen of Death with a Black Screen of Death nearly 40 years after its introduction. The change is part of the Windows Resiliency Initiative following the CrowdStrike outage that affected 8.5 million devices. Microsoft calls it a "simplified UI" but hasn't acknowledged the significance of ending this computing era.
