    Should be noted that in Norway it is not just for war, but rather any emergency like natural disasters or someone takes out critical infrastructure in a digital attack etc.

      A digital attack would be an act of war, though, so…

        Not necessarily.

        It could be something as simple as “oops, someone downloaded a file they shouldn’t have, and now all the systems of the power grid in a quarter of the country has been encrypted by ransomware”

          If the July 19th Crowdstrike incident had affected Linux rather than Windows, the impact would have been orders of magnitude worse.

          People have so little awareness of how fragile the systems we rely on are - it’s not a matter of “if” - it’s a matter of “when” we’ll see a widespread incident that goes well beyond a mild inconvenience for most.
