'Visible upon breakdown,' one of my favourite of Leigh Star's rules for ethnography of infrastructure. Infrastructural components and politics are typically hard to observe and much labor goes into the appearance of seamlessness, so you can trace a lot about them that is otherwise invisible when they break down. Currently enjoying the map of who runs Linux and who runs Windows among trains, airlines, hospitals, banks, schools, and other affected systems. #crowdstrike
