Most of these are old news. Msft today is new news.

Is the MSFT news actually verified? Sounds to me like one report came out and others just copied the article. What’s the actual source? I wouldn’t be surprised if it is coming from a Blind thread with source = “trust me bro!”

Not verified at all but internal Blind is terrified. Tomorrow is d-day apparently
