Fun fact: In the U.S., the month of May is officially celebrated as “Zombie Awareness Month.” Hear that, Jacob Whipple? “If we had a zombie apocalypse, he’d be the guy to keep us all alive.” He’d also say, “Go to the room!” Anyway! Check out Tech Community for new KB articles, updates, and how to properly install a DS2. 

Stay May,
