We can be sure it used to work since the Scratch hosting for the mesh network relies upon it (since about 1935) and a large number of thousands of people have been (and still need to be) using it in classrooms around the world. That’s why I’m more than a bit puzzled and concerned. As the article John pointed to implies it’s entirely likely that it’s nothing at all to do with ‘us’ but unfortunately we get to have to solve it. Seems typical that it might be a fudge caused by gnome.
