  We are deeply sorry for the disruption this incident has caused our customers and partners. We know the trust they place in our services and take that responsibility extremely seriously. We are seeing broad recovery and stability across our services. This was a technical issue

  Is this what they meant when they said AI would give us a three day work week?

  I regret to inform you all that Microsoft's Outlook is slowly returning to normal. By normal, I mean barely functional, buggy as shit, and still awful to use. https:// techcrunch.com/2026/11/13/micr osoft-latest-email-outage-turned-into-a-full-blown-global-cloud-crisis/

  Having friends who work at Microsoft, this is not really surprising at all. The company has always had deep structural problems. The AI change has really just exposed it and is aggressively accelerating the inevitable implosion. It's truly in a free fall that is planned and orchestrated perfectly by their upper management. Their CEO and VPs are…

  Ah yes, it does what you want. Like offering a depressed individual advice on how to conduct suicide. Or a murderer-to-be how to hide a body in a "hypothetical situation." Or spreading general misinformation about campaigns that dont exist during election season. AI's inability to think is, in fact, a massive liability. Not to mention it still…

  🇺🇸 More than 16 hours into the global outage, Microsoft says its fixes have had only "marginal success." Its latest update this morning was a bit more upbeat. A patch is improving server stability on part of its infrastructure, and it's being rolled out to more servers.

  This outage highlights the risk of centralized tech, and the need for #Canada to drive a more decentralized, open source tech stack! Microsoft’s latest email outage turned into a full-blown global cloud crisis:

  Are we relieved to know that Microsoft's massive outage isn't due to hacking, but rather incompetence?

  Something I've been thinking about with the last few major outages is that as there is more and more consolidation (fewer large companies running a higher share of the world's infrastructure and critical services) is that we become increasingly exposed to massive disruption like this. Would some sort of mandated maximum occupancy per instance…

  It seems like across the board teams of fewer people are being asked to accomplish more work for less conpensation . This is not sustainable. It may drive "growth" for a few quarters, but it's a timebomb of a management strategy. A good way to crush morale and sabotage brand equity imo. Seeing a mass exodus at my current company because of this…

  Microsoft says the recent Office 365/ Outlook outage was due to a technical issue and not a cyberattack or AI related problem. [embedded post]

  Microsoft services are still experiencing a major global outage, even tho Microsoft said they fixed it & service started recovering. Outlook, Teams & Copilot remain disrupted in 74 countries as Microsoft reports 'marginal success' in fixing it. However, their own users online/status page disagree with them. So much vibe coded stuff has been…

  And at 40$ per employee per month, with all those employees now without access to the company (auth is not working so internal apps are going to be dead too), 50% of that for one month covers less than 25 minutes of downtime if your employees work 38 hours per week for 5000$ on average (and I do hope they make at least 2x more, since this is…

  Effin glad my work CADs are set up with local servers. I hate those things that constantly have to call home and other crap. I especially hate 3DEXPERIENCE that dassault forced with Solidworks for Makers. Solidworks does work brilliantly with local license, but it becomes a god damn miserable nightmare with the forced cloud PDM I have ZERO use on…

  Microsoft’s outage status contains perhaps the more dire statement I have ever seen hours into a colossal outage costing people millions: “At this point, we have observed marginal success.” The status page just stopped loading for me 🙃 but it was on this page, I swear: https:// status.cloud.microsoft/m365/re ferrer=serviceStatusRedirect

  AI vibe coding shit just needs to go through the cycle of it all collapsing spectacularly. Not talking about just the 'bubble' but the realization of companies that AI inherently gets them dogshit code that nobody understands anymore. At some point the pendulum will swing to the other direction where AI is 'no-go' for development, along with other…

  Okay, my hot take on the Microsoft outage is that they're basically having a "thundering herd" problem. Email was designed a long-ass time ago when network connectivity could reasonably be intermittent, and services could be offline for maintenance. To address this, the standard behavior of one email server trying to deliver to another is that…

  "Okay? Nothing. It’s just terrible. Every day is a nightmare. As recently as 1972, most buildings collapsed and rusty nails were found in cereal boxes all the time. Okay, so when you’re faced with statistics like this, it’s very difficult to be optimistic. So, hey, why not think about the statistics? I want to just put that out of your mind."

  LOL, "trust me bro" it is with an insult? Man I even called it before you said it. I'm asking you to prove you know what you're talking about, mainly because you aren't demonstrating having the expertise you claim to have. I'm more than happy to discuss on a deep technical level how you think this is possible. I'm here for when you can back up…
