The defective update impacted computers running Microsoft Windows that were utilizing Crowdstrike's security solution. https://www.crowdstrike.com/blog/statement-on-falcon-content-update-for-windows-hosts/

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1814644200329429180

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
