Defender is acting up too
We’re continuing our work to isolate the issue affecting server availability, as well as other workstreams.
Microsoft:
It’s almost like having your office software as a service it’s a bad idea
Hoping that a few companies decide to migrate to free offline solutions after that
Hahaha.
Ha.
Hahahahaha.
Yeah no. No one ever got fired for going with Microsoft. It’s costly to migrate, and you’d get fired for a 20 minute outage.
Oh no, not Copilot!
But I don’t actually know how to do anything! I ain’t gonna learn shit on my own, that’s just silly.
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,”
the reply is very human.
That translates to
We have no fucking idea what’s wrong, please send help
Copilot is down, and they fired all their engineers. They don’t know what to do, because their “brain” is part of (and likely caused) this outage lol
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
We might already be there.
We crossed that line years ago. Windows development has just been layers of paint for years. Exchange has been on life support even though it underpins 365. The only Office updates have been style and icons (ok, and integration with OneDrive, but they still haven’t implemented it for PowerPoint, shared editing still only works with word and excel). OneDrive is just SharePoint with a client app. Teams is also just SharePoint.
There are no software engineers at Microsoft any more.
Could even be this one based on how it’s going
It’s already happened, Halloween 2025ish? Front door was fully down for hours, and when it came back up people weren’t allowed to make changes, and when people were allowed to, they had a 45 minute delay before they could take effect. Even now it takes awhile for the changes to go live.
Its okay though, think of the money saved from not employing someone who knows what to do!
Yet for some ungodly reason, teams still works. Fucking microsoft, can’t even fuck up correctly…
I’ve been sick most of the week and was surprised to see my missed email log was only 451 emails.
Then the number didn’t go up.
I’m in for some hurt when it comes back.
Speak for yourself, I have only been able to access teams from my phone all day and it’s been great honestly 😂
You are today’s lucky winner! I’m so jealous. They pivoted to trying to do everything over teams and… well, that ended predictably poorly. I just dipped lol, networks so hosed nobody noticed.
Teams costs extra, so it’s on a different system.
Sudden burst of productivity documented at many companies
its friday in aussie, everyone fucking off to the pub
Teams is not impacted unfortunately.
“No, Teams isn’t affected by this outage. It’s… just always like that.”
well if teams was down i wouldn’t have gotten the good news that copilot was down so
It’s partially impacted. Among other things, I can’t see anyone’s online status.
my theory is that the parts of teams that were made by the estonians in 2003 still function while everything around it is a horrifying house of vibe-coded cards
Good. I’m busy. Don’t message me.
I acted like it was to get out of some meetings. No one questioned it.
We’re having issues with Teams with any type of scheduled meeting. Authentication is also really unreliable. Direct P2P calls work fine so far.
It says “potentially impacted” on the Microsoft status page. Might be that it’s not 100% of users.
Might be that it has the potential to be impacted but isn’t for anyone.
“Do we know what’s going on and what’s impacted?”
“No.”
"Tell them we are ‘investigating’ and that everything 'may be impacted,. "
This is just standard operation for them.
I feel my productivity increasing already!
I was once a Microsoft fanboy, because of the windows phone. I’m happy I don’t use anything from them now.
holy shit, did you have a zune too?
No. Sadly not.
I had a Zune and loved the shit out of it.
My car was broken into and my Zune was stolen. Still salty about it.
You had a lot of destiny’s child on there.
Fuck, me too
The only generation I don’t have is the 4gb one. I love my Zunes and am currently in the process of modding them.
Oh neat, what kind of modding is there for them? I missed out on them when they were popular.
Bigger drives by way of sd card adapters or ssd and adapters, and bigger batteries mostly. Some aspiring folks with more time and patience than me have also added in bluetooth and usb-c.
In case you’re interested here’s a vid: https://youtu.be/E1ReVV_rjuc
Yep, we lost outlook functionality. I’m curious to see what the cause of this is… a nationwide outage affecting the entire world’s enterprise is no small hiccup.
It’s going to turn out to be shitty AI code causing the crash. It’s all part of a slow rolling train crash, and this still is the beginning.
We’d only ever know that from a leak. No way they admit it.
Hmmm, I’m going with they laid off a quarter of their work force and replaced them with vibe coding.

Status: Investigating We’ve determined that the elevated load isn’t driven by an overall increase in traffic, but by a large number of servers being unexpectedly unavailable, which is shifting load onto the remaining infrastructure. We’re investigating what’s causing these servers to become unavailable while we work to safely return them to service.
They followed this one up to say the automated health checks were causing the servers to go unavailable.
Are you OK? Are you OK? Are you OK?
I’m going to ask you so many times that you stop being OK. AI is overly attached girlfriend.
Annie are you ok?
lmfao
Seems to be ok in the UK at the moment
Microsoft probably treats y’all okay because Ireland lets them avoid paying the taxes they deserve to pay the American government, lol.
One drive is acting up too
can’t drive and there is no copilot, not the best outlook
Word.
Excel (typo, I know 😉) at being undistracted by slop
I’m sure there are teams of explorers eager to clip the problems
Slow clap
Eyyyyyy, hi dad
They took the ram chips out of their email server and put them in their AI server, but they didn’t snap down the little white thingies.
