Microsoft WINDOWS Windows 3.1 (Image credit: Wikimedia Commons) Southwest Airlines, the fourth largest airline in the US, is seemingly unaffected by the problematic CrowdStrike update that caused millions of computers to BSoD (Blue Screen of Death) because it used Windows 3.1. The CrowdStrike issue disrupted operations globally after a faulty update caused newer computers to freeze and stop working, with many prominent institutions, including airports and almost all US airlines, including United, Delta, and American Airlines, needing to stop flights. Windows 3.1, launched in 1992, is likely not getting any updates. So, when CrowdStrike pushed the faulty update to all its customers, Southwest wasn’t affected (because it didn’t receive an update to begin with).

Шутка в том, что устаревшая система якобы спасла Southwest Airlines от сбоя CrowdStrike, потому что для неё не выпускали новое обновление. Мем используют как реакцию на надёжность старых технологий и насмешку над масштабным компьютерным сбоем.
