If by BSOD you mean, "Blue Screen of Death", which was NT's crash-dump

airplane frightening (I mean, I'm imagining that it does something important).
Save design would have the plane controls on a completely air-gapped network from the
entertainment stuff. I was told that they don’t, because the captain needs to be able to
stop the entertainment system during an announcement. I could build them a very simple
gateway
that transmits UDP packets in one direction only, that would meet this, and related
needs.
There have been hacks of the avionics reported from the entertainment network. It is
scary,
if true, and bush league IMO.
