Microsoft ~~Outlook~~ Outage

Well, all the devs at companies with MS Office tool sets are too busy playing factorio to post here today.

"Hey I've got a great idea, let's take all these little local decentralized things and put them all onto one centralized massive thing that needs 99.99999% uptime or the world's fucked. Nothing will go wrong."

Uptime on my old exchange servers roughly matched my ISPs uptime. O365 uptime is now : My ISPs - 0365s uptime. Real improvement there.

But hey, now when email goes down I just point to their admin dashboard and shrug at people. It's a lot simpler once you get over how much harder it is.

The Venn diagram of Lemmy users and Outlook users is probably pretty close to two separate circles. I'm sure there's some commonality, but probably not a lot.

Most probably use it for work.

A lot of companies use Google these days, I guess more of the smaller companies.

[–] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 37 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Well, I for one work at a company that uses it. So you can at least have those circles touch.

[–] luciferofastora@lemmy.zip 3 points 23 minutes ago

Me too, let's touch circles

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 18 points 4 hours ago

At home, sure, but I have to use it at work.

No outage for me.

[–] hddsx@lemmy.ca 10 points 4 hours ago

O365 for business?

[–] devfuuu@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

Yeah, manu of us are lucky enough to not have touched any MS products in literally decades. Feelz nice.

For those unaware:

Blissfully unaware, thanks.

I don't understand, you didn't get the jokes? I forwarded the chain letter to everyone

[–] far_university190@feddit.org 7 points 4 hours ago

Reason: not programming-related

Reporter has a point.

Nope, I use Thunderbird.

My Outlook stubbornly refuses to stop giving me email. 😑

Edit: Just checked Bleeping Computer. They've got the story. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-365-outage-impacts-exchange-online-teams-sharepoint/

What does an MS Outlook outage inherently have to do with programming?

How ami I going to do version control without being able to email myself "Newcode-today-new-newist-morenew-actuallynew-latest.txt?"
