Crowdstrike was an interesting one. Just as it was going down I went out to the supermarket and found half of the self checkouts had bluescreened. Then a few hours later they were all back and functioning again. The supermarket had remote management at a level below the OS that could restore the whole countries self checkouts rapidly.

I would not be surprised if they simply booted an image from the network. It would significantly simplify maintenance, as for any change you'd just need to update a single image and push it downstream to an in-store management server. The individual terminals essentially become disposable.
