Weird. It’s almost like putting billions of eggs in one basket and tossing a live hand grenade in the middle has a negative effect on said eggs.
Yep. There is very little reason or benefit in centralizing a naturally decentralized technology like email
IT guy here. Anyone got a loaded gun I can borrow? Just one bullet.
this is one of those rare times I enjoy all our shit being in the cloud. Not a damn thing I can do but post an advisement, and everyone knows there’s no room to be mad at me. It’s practically been a day off
I’m just mad these big outages always happen during American work hours. Come on, I want to sit and twiddle my thumbs in Europe too.
Have you been making the appropriate blood sacrifices?
Not a damn thing I can do but post an advisement
A paper one, on the office bulletin board, because Outlook is also down, lol.
I would’ve gone into the office to do that if teams had gone down too. Unfortunately it did not for us lol
Also in IT, if only Teams could go down too 🤞🏻
Retired former IT guy here. I’m enjoying watching the tech world burn while wrapped in a blanket on my couch, sipping hot chocolate. ☕
I feel bad for my fellow IT guys who have to deal with it, but it’s so nice being removed from it all now.
I just walked through the office telling literally everyone I saw “Outlook is down pass it on”
I was sooooo hopeful when I saw it in the list of affected services, buuuuuuuut noooooooooooo

it was out for somebody
It would be a dramatic improvement in service.
What’s going on?

Thats art right there. Either sloppers, hacks, or attacks, keel it up please. I want a week of outage. Teach em a lesson.
My guess: Very vibe crapped November patches on Windows pulling the bottom from under Azure and M365. They should migrate to NetBSD for some actual resilience heheheh.
M365 down I think
Business as usual, no?
I have the dumb. Can someone explain what’s going on?
Nearly all of Microsofts online services like Outlook are down :). Unfortunately not Microsoft Teams for my company though
More info: Potentially impacted services include:
- Exchange Online
- Microsoft Teams
- SharePoint Online
- Microsoft Copilot 365
- Microsoft Defender XDR
- Microsoft Planner
- Microsoft To Do
- Microsoft Intune
- Microsoft Defender for Office 365
- Microsoft Purview: Multiple Purview services including Authorization, Auto Labelling, Data Loss Prevention (DLP), Communication Compliance, and Data Classification are impacted.
- Power BI: All users may intermittently be unable to export reports with MIP sensitivity labels to PDF in Power BI.
- Microsoft 365 Apps Admin Center: Multiple services including Cloud Update, Cloud Policy, and Inventory.
Everytime I refresh this page, there’s a new service impacted.
I am also unable to ‘sleep’ my pc after the last update.
The raptor fences aren’t out, are they?
There’s a major Internet services interruption happening. I first saw it reported that Microsoft Outlook was down. It looks like the problem has spread to other Microsoft services, and also to other companies’ services.
After recently moving everything to self hosted I never even noticed. Helps being unemployed from the tech industry so I am not forced to use any corpotrash.
Yep, lol. Absolutely everything I use is fully up and operational. Sucks to be corpo.
At least the status page is loading now.
Should have used Linux
basically all microsoft service backends do run on linux unfortunately
Oh snaps
No, they probably shouldn’t use snap packages. Not only are they semi-proprietary, they’re also very inefficient.
Even steam’s “down” and they aren’t sloppers. What’s going on? is it cloudflare + MS Azure?
People going “welp guess I might as well boot a quick game”? Lol
Could be network traffic overload, imagine all global M365 users continuously and rather aggressively retrying to fetch mail etc
Me, a self-hoster, laughing at DownDetector then crying because my job still relies on Microsoft
