Microsoft doesn’t use this kind of wording unless it’s really really bad. Like, SHTF kinda bad. β€œAggressively pursuing all pathways…we’ve paused all new deployments.” That’s a panic button I’ve never seen them hit before. β€œThe elevated load isn’t driven by an increase in traffic, but by a number of servers being UNEXPECTEDLY UNAVAILABLE.” IE: Server farms. Racks and racks of servers. NOT RESPONDING. At all. Failing health checks. Whew doggie!

Current count: 74. I just gave an LTE 5100 to the A/C technician after he saw my PCs in the basement and found them to be very intriguing!
It's been an interesting few weeks of collecting. I try to keep the collection in check. Not doing well πŸ˜…. In August, I had 70. Sent out a laptop in Sept (-1). Bought the HX and Tower (+2). Then this weekend haul (+9). Sent out a few machines this week (-5). Current count: 75

*** SBP ANNOUNCEMENT *** Since August the releases have come fast, a patch every day or two. We are very close to a stable release. 2.32.0 is where SBP changes: the stable release, the one we want to be right. What goes in: The items already on the v2.32.0 milestone, and whatever you report before the freeze. Feature freeze: Saturday, November 20. After that date only fixes go in until it ships. What changes after 2.32.0. Fixes and security patches as they are needed, each gated as today. New features come slower and in larger pieces, so a release has time to settle before the next one. What we need from you before the 20th: Anything that is wrong on your books: a figure that does not tie, a report that reads wrong, an import or an upgrade that did not go as the guide says, a page that gets in the way, a doc that misleads. Reply here, open an issue, or write [email protected]. No real data in a public thread, please ... email it A BETA release candidate goes to anyone who wants to run it on a copy of their books for a week or two before the tag. Say so in a reply and we will send you the build and a one-line way to report. Expecting to release 2.32.0 on 12/1 just in time for the holidays.
