As I understand it, applying the update makes Windows stop working, resulting in the blue screen. This is not something hard for someone at CrowdStrike to test -- all they had to do is apply it to a test computer and reboot. Is it possible they released it without doing that?

I have 2 iPad pro's from 5 (!) years ago, the smaller and larger ones. So far, there has been absolutely no need for me to upgrade -- only small things have been updated. I hope this newest (OLED?) upgrade will be significant enough to justify buying it and replacing the older tablets. In the same 5-year time period, the Mac and iPhone have seen real, worthwhile updates.

I have a 2017 12" Macbook, which still works well, running the latest Ventura. I really wish they would bring back a 12" machine -- its size is ideal for traveling.

Remember MCX (Merchant Customer Exchange)? It was going to be used at many major stores and did not allow Apple Pay or other contactless payments. It didn't last long.

No reason at all to replace my 2018 iPad pro (5 years old). Except for the screen, I don't think I would know the difference between that and the latest version, and the screen on the 2018 is still more than adequate.
