Getting around to some much-needed RSS organizing, and I've noticed that the MSRC blog feed just kinda stopped on September 4. The old feed at msrc.microsoft.com/blog/feed is still there, just frozen in time. Anyone know if the RSS feed is coming back?

πŸ™‹ Got the issue here. I honestly assumed it was because of a hardware failure, as the device still had a stock SSD (another hub went through several SSD replacements and re-images before we replaced it with a teams room system).

Now you’ve piqued my interest.

If this is for equalizing pressure, that’s not necessary nor recommended. The best place is underground or the inner-most room, under a sturdy structure like a desk if possible

I once swapped facebook and myspace for 4/1. It was funny until the CFO called and asked why his browser crashed upon launch. Turns out his homepage was msn and some javascript looking for fb didn't care for this change.
