Dr. McCoy was right to be skeptical about the transporter. It had to work perfectly every time.

Several months ago a pastor friend was unable to print a document because his Microsoft Office didn’t have a particular update (or something to that effect).

I’ll have to ask him again. But he was trying to get his PowerPoint printed out for his sermon that week and he was creating slides for his team to change during his sermon.

All my Apple stuff is fine. However, I’m at a conference and there’s almost 300 people here-every single business account is down. The only positive-no teams calls in 24 hours lol

I'm still suffering it.

Wonder if the problem has tentacles in Tehran.

Earlier, I spent about half an hour deleting old Yahoo mail messages using the Yahoo Android mail app.

The Yahoo mail app worked fine on my Android phone.

What will be interesting is what caused this outage if Microsoft actually releases the true reason behind the outage.

This outage comes a few days after Bill Gates made a big announcement about AI causing worldwide damage to major companies, if not slowed down or stopped.

Anytime Bill Gates makes major announcements I get nervous because of his history about vaccines, Covid, and now AI.

For what it’s worth, Microsoft says it was global...

Cause and Status:

Root Cause: Microsoft determined the outage was caused by a number of servers becoming “unexpectedly unavailable” during automated checks, which strained remaining infrastructure and caused elevated load. The company has ruled out a cyber-attack.
Recovery: Microsoft is restarting affected servers and reintroducing traffic. As of Friday morning, the company reported “early signs of stabilization” and “positive results” in fixing the issue, but service capacity has not yet returned to normal levels and health remains variable.
Impact: The outage has affected users in 74 countries, disrupting businesses, governments, schools, and healthcare services globally.

“What will be interesting is what caused this outage if Microsoft actually releases the true reason behind the outage.”

Waiting for Gates to announce that it’ll take two weeks to stop the outage. But, coincidentally, he has a remedy for it all ready to be distributed.

And my company uses Google for meetings, email, etc. My government customer uses Microsoft Teams and Microsoft 365. Oh wells. Not my problem. But I suspect they’ll be back up this morning, even if it’s a little late.
