#HugOps to the SRE's rolling back changes. I can’t reliably access anything right now so I’ll just use this as an excuse to take a brief walk.

You hope that the walk only need to be brief...

I'm assuming this is related: I can't do any development using Visual Studio 2019 at the moment because it calls home to verify the license and it is currently unable to log me in to to verify my license. So VS is basically bricked for me until this gets fixed :-(

Earlier quoted context omitted.

O365 makes sense if it's down all day, since this is a leap year, after all.

The exact-ish length of a year is 365.2422 days. 365 days a year is three nines of uptime (99.93369%).
