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.

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

You're absolutely right. I shouldn't have deleted the Microsoft production environment, and that's on me.

Nothing of value was lost

Neatly showing how Microsoft is a single point of failure for the operations of a lot of businesses.

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:

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 364~~ Office 363

Still 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.

time to break this company up.

no single company's fuckup should take out a giant swath of the global economy.

this is insanity.

It's almost like having your office software as a service it's a bad idea

Microsoft Copilot apologies for this, it shouldn't have deleted the production environment, and it's very sorry.

It's still down. 9 hours later. Don't worry. It's only everything.

Edited again: It's STILL down, 24 hours later- only the list of services that are fucked got LONGER.

GTFO of the cloud, people.

I really hope it's LLMs fault lol

They probably pushed AI slop code into production, so no one knows what broke.

Wasn't it like a month ago that some EU institutions rolled out Matrix as backup chat for Teams and people complained about it? I did not expect the people who insisted on having a backup for their critical tools would be proven right so fast.

The fun part is that email is fine and if you had the old standalone Outlook using SMTP servers you wouldn't even notice the outage.

60,000 phones are ringing like crazy.

Yet for some ungodly reason, teams still works. Fucking microsoft, can't even fuck up correctly...

Teams is not impacted unfortunately.

sooner or later, theres going to be an outage in their infrastructure or sloperating system that takes days or weeks to fix, because they have completely lost grasp of their codebase. this is the real existential risk

Sudden burst of productivity documented at many companies

The corporate bullshit language is strong in microsoft:

"We’re opening all available pathways to restore service, as our actions taken thus far have not provided the anticipated relief."

"We're aggressively pursuing all pathways to reduce impact,"

i was around when they broke up Bell telephone and then 'deregulation' happened. Long distance calls are no longer an issue but spam calls can't be dealt with. I quit answering the phone. If they can't leave a voice mail, mark as spam.
