I don't know what the point of this article was, but at my work, we push updates to millions of devices in people's homes, but we only "open the flood gates" briefly. A blip of time, so 0.01% get the update, we check that they all came back online and reported in healthy, 0.1%, next day 1%, next day 20%, next day 100%. There have been a couple times where we had to refund 0.01% of the customers who got bricked as guinea pigs and called us angrily, luckily it's never been 1%. I get that security updates can't wait a whole day, but can't they at least wait until Windows reboots? I wonder why Crowdstrike pushed to all 8.5 million before checking if any came back online.
