Funny, I haven’t noticed any outage on my Linux systems…
Cyber terrorists are responsible. They are holding the world to ransom. They have threatened that if their demands are not met, they will restore Teams to full functionality.
Teams had functionality?
Even cyber terrorists have standards
Anyone else remember a microsoft company in recent memory pushing a failed update and being unable to narrow down why it failed?
Why is our product down?
We don’t know it was the update.
Well what do the deveopers have to say about it?
They say they didn’t write the code and from what they could tell from the reviews there was no granular thing that looked bad.
Well Make the AI fix it
We tried that, it insists it’s working and that the failure must be in other systems
Well, tell the developers to debug it!
They’re working on it, but it’s someone elses code so they need a while to understand all the changes as a whole
It’s actually 363 now, it was down yesterday and today
You’re absolutely right. I shouldn’t have deleted the Microsoft production environment, and that’s on me.
~ MS 365 Copilot
Nothing of value was lost
Neatly showing how Microsoft is a single point of failure for the operations of a lot of businesses.
Fortunately we only lost email. Probably sucks for someone but I can do anything urgent without it still. Anything that comes in by email is low priority and we have a phone number for anything important.
Darn, Microsoft services are starting to become reachable this morning. I was hoping for an easier Friday.
I didn’t think we would be having issues going into day 2.
Here is where status is being updated by Microsoft:
Well they tried to ask copilot to fix the outage, but nobody could access it today, and there’s noone left at Microsoft that knows how anything works
If this get proven to be LLM related some managers should go on trial for severe negligence
In other news Microsoft has decided to rename it office suite from office 365 to
Office 364Office 363Still down on my end. My company decided (against my strong opinion) to use the whole microslop suite for the whole company and it’s been a quite… uneventful day. I’ve spent my day reinstalling DarkOSRE on my R36S, trying some new ports and roms… In 18 minutes I end my shift and I’m out until Monday. Meanwhile our IT dept is less than happy with the situation and the real possibility of having to come to the office during the weekend because everything is down and you can’t trust the system to send an alert if something happens.
Next time we have a talk, I’m gonna ask how did the outage go on their end and if they are still so adamantly defending the goodness of microslop.
I love it when core services are down. How am I going to know you have a problem if you can’t contact me? As far as I can tell everything we control must be good to go.
Seems to be back up here in England. It was down an hour ago. Kinda fucked with my work because my employers are Microsoft everything, for security reasons. Lol.
for security reasons
Can’t click on a phishing link if you can’t get any new emails. Seems pretty secure to me.
Makes me think maybe Microsoft have been listening to Morris’ rules of computer security :
- Do not own a computer.
- Do not power it on.
- Do not use it.
If you view all their actions and updates over the past decade in this light - they’ve been helping us, all along!
time to break this company up.
no single company’s fuckup should take out a giant swath of the global economy.
this is insanity.
This shit keeps happening and it will continue to happen because buisness majors love their monoculture.
You’ll never get fired for going with IBM.
I mean, RHEL is it’s own kind of obnoxious.
Too much centralzation of email etc. is not healthy.
Crowd strike
Yes, but users also should not just put all their eggs in the same basket: diversify and make them work hard to spy on you :D
I really hope it’s LLMs fault lol
They’ll never admit it
