[Not really OT] Crowdstrike Analysis: It was a NULL pointer from the memory unsafe C++ language.

I don't think computers can do nothing. When they are turned off 
they do nothing indeed, but something must turn off the computer 
for it to become turned off, and that's an involved procedure 
that doesn't count as "do nothing". So it's not clear what you 
mean, what CPU instruction should execute to "do nothing"?
