    Apple Makes Fun of Microsoft’s BSOD Aka 'Blue Screen of Death' Error, CrowdStrike Outage Last Year in New Ad, Says ‘No Other Security Like Mac Security’

    Cupertino, October 8: Apple shared a new ad campaign that mocked Microsoft’s BSOD (Blue Screen of Death), which affected global users last year. During the Windows outage, many enterprises, government offices, and organisations faced BSOD issues that led to system and operational shutdowns. The error was later traced back to CrowdStrike’s security update. However, Mac PCs and laptops remained unaffected. The Blue Screen of Death, or BSOD, is a problem that many encounter but do not know how to resolve. Windows displays a blue screen with an error message to indicate something is wrong with the system. It usually appears due to hardware problems, faulty drivers, or corrupted system files. Users must restart their PCs when encountering such errors. Instagram, Facebook, and Snapchat Blocked in Afghanistan: Report.
