As is often the case, the article renders fine with JavaScript and CSS disabled. This sort of scenario is why I run uMatrix in whitelist mode, with JS/CSS always disabled by default.

Windows Server 2012 R2 is in support until 2023. Businesses have planned lifecycles and budgeting around that date.
