I can’t. Outlook is down.
sends Teams invite
Team is also down (ymmv).
They've laid off all but one Team.
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.
Copilot is down too :-D
Is Clippy alright? Is he safe?
I don't think anyone has heard from Clippy. I'm really worried right now.
He's seen some shit. Literally.

It seems in their greed, they deprecated him

"You're absolutely right, turning those servers off as a cost-cutting effort was a mistake, and has caused more problems than it has solved. I'm still learning, so I appreciate your understanding and patience 🙏"
"Hey Cortana, why are we so bad at this?"
Is it fair to assume that any software failures moving forward are caused by vibecoding? 😅

Bad patch after patch Tuesday?
Something something paired core routers went down during audit tasks in AMER and EMEA knocking 2 AZs offline at the same time. Automation did what automation do and eff it all up. Now it takes all hands on deck to untangle it.
The internal messaging is nuts.

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.
Very true. Today was a very focused coding day.
Loved it
'Classic' outlook won't even get past loading the profile for me today.
What a shame 🥰

They're going to need to rebrand as Microsoft 363 if they keep this up much longer.
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
A cog sucker director at my company was saying just two days ago how we should copy Microsoft way of replacing workers with AI and their products are working great lolololol

In principle yes, but my expectation was that the larger effects take two or three years to kick in.
[caused by a] large number of servers being unexpectedly unavailable
This is basically just the definition of what an outage is. No shit, Sherlock.
The servers are down because the servers are down. Would you like me to make a 14 step plan of action to investigate this?
Yes do that, and then email it to me.
- your clueless boss, who earns twice what you do so must be twice as super ineteilgnent (sic)
Have they tried throwing more vibe-codes slop at the problem? Or laying off all the workers...?
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...
My bosses sent out an email informing people of the outage through Outlook... [facepalm]
Also, placing 5$ on it being a BGP issue.
Our IT is hamstrung so HR sent a text blast about the outage. Good thinking, hilarious failure.

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

Skynets beginnings
See everybody talks about the negatives of "Oh humanity is destroyed" and "I have to fight against terminators!" but nobody talks about we no longer have to action emails.
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.
