Microsoft unveils a major overhaul of Windows 11 crash management through its Windows Resilience Initiative, replacing the iconic Blue Screen of Death with a streamlined Black Screen and introducing AI-driven automatic recovery. The Quick Machine Recovery feature aims to prevent global outages like the CrowdStrike incident by autonomously applying fixes during boot failures. These changes signal a fundamental shift toward self-healing systems for both consumers and enterprises.

Researchers introduce BeePL, a domain-specific language with a formally verified type system, designed to overcome critical safety flaws in eBPF—Linux's kernel extension technology. By enforcing static guarantees and leveraging verified compilation, BeePL ensures memory safety, termination, and structured control flow, paving the way for high-assurance kernel modifications without compromising performance.
