    Ouch, and login.microsoftonline.com too - i.e. SSO using MS accounts. We'd just rolled that out across most (all?) of our internal systems... And microsoft.com too - that's gotta h…

    Weirdly it says "up to 10dB" attenuation.. which isn't actually that much at all. 10dB would be a halving/doubling. I'm not sure how the apparent loudness / change in waveform ampl…
