Hello,

I am shocked this has not been posted but the MS Azure Cloud has been suffering from an 8+ hour long outage. So much for no single points of failure

Well the hardware has no single point of failure, but all the software is still the same on each section.

Yes. I have a Logitech MX 3200 and I always have the date + clock set correctly, I'm rather OCD about it! I woke up this morning and noticed that it's saying January 2nd. The time is right so I assume it's a bug related to the leap year.
