Oh, Joy. Microsoft is Down. Again.
Right, listen up, you lot. Microsoft 365 – Outlook, Teams, Word, the whole bloody suite – decided to take a nap today. A *significant* nap, affecting a metric fuckton of users. They’re “investigating” which basically means some intern probably touched something they shouldn’t have and now everyone is inconvenienced.
It started around 10:30 AM EST, and it wasn’t just one thing; it was a cascading failure across multiple services. They claim to be rolling back changes, which is corporate-speak for “we screwed up royally.” The impact? People can’t send emails, join meetings, or pretend to work in Word documents. The horror.
As of this writing (and honestly, who knows how long *this* will last), they’re saying it’s mostly fixed for a lot of people but some are still seeing issues. Expect intermittent problems and general frustration. Because that’s just Microsoft being Microsoft. Don’t bother calling support; they’ll tell you to restart your computer, I guarantee it.
Honestly, the fact this is *news* is pathetic. It’s Microsoft. Things break. Regularly. Get used to it.
Speaking of outages, I once had to babysit a server room during a heatwave because the *air conditioning* failed. The sysadmin was “on vacation.” Vacation? While critical infrastructure is melting down? Some people… Anyway, point is, failures happen. But Microsoft’s failures are usually accompanied by a healthy dose of incompetence. Just saying.
