What my agency has been told.

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.

Maybe they should try asking copilot why all those serves are unavailable.

Get rekt. Vibe code this, you layoff fucking happy prrrrrricks

I'm really glad Microsoft did all that work turning Outlook into a live service web wrapper that can't function offline because now when they do something stupid I basically get the day off.

Keep fucking up Microsoft.

[caused by a] large number of servers being unexpectedly unavailable

This is basically just the definition of what an outage is. No shit, Sherlock.

Have they tried throwing more vibe-codes slop at the problem? Or laying off all the workers...?

Are we already at the point where they've fired so many engineers to be taken over by AI that they can't fix it by themselves anymore?

Fuck Microsoft

Microslop Outlook at work keeps blinking in the calendar view, and feels more unstable after each update.

I'm sure firing 25% of their workforce will help...

What's it called now? Microsoft Copilot 365 Outlook?

My bosses sent out an email informing people of the outage through Outlook... [facepalm]

Also, placing 5$ on it being a BGP issue.

Its way more than Microsoft. Someone fucked up again lol.

Now half the planet is in a panic because they don’t have email 🤣

My school uses it as their email and I had to make my class online only for today because of personal reasons. Could I reach my students? Nope!

But, I did mention it during class on Tuesday and also last week, so people who remembered joined. A cool student also let confused people know in person since she was around. I still made it optional and just gave personalized feedback to students who stuck around.

It's wasn't as bad as when Canvas dropped cause of AWS outage during finals week. That was not fun.

Skynets beginnings

At least emails retry I guess

My inbox has never been so quiet.

Nine fives is still better than a coin flip.

One of my jobs today was to scan in a pile of receipts, and to email it to my boss. Outlook was down. Easy day today

Copilot has discovered BGP

I was just trying to update an account to not use my hotmail address, and oh look I can't get the email to start the process. Come on.

Mission critical my butt
