Meta has deleted Russell Brand’s Instagram account, which had over 5 million followers, and his Facebook page, which had more than 6.2 million followers.

The accounts were removed under their Community Standards and Account Integrity policies, which restrict or remove accounts belonging to convicted sex offenders.

Someone in the courts should take one for the team and leak every single one of them.

I am hearing that Microsoft's Outlook outage is down to some kind of rollout that caused servers to spike CPU usage, causing racks to go into maintenance mode and creating cascading failures

[Amelia @amelia_tweetz]

Microsoft has laid off thousands of employees while investing billions in AI. Now Outlook goes down, and everyone is depending on human engineers to get things running again.

It’s interesting how companies keep talking about replacing people until something breaks and they need people to fix it.

[Cantaloupe News @CantaloupeNews]

UPDATE: Microsoft says they cannot fix the Outlook outage because engineers are getting too many Authenticator prompts.

[Sumit Chauhan @sumit_c]

Starting today, the full power of Microsoft Office is rolling out to the Copilot App in Frontier. We're bringing together the capabilities that your business runs on every day within Word, Excel and PowerPoint inside of the new OS for work.

This new experience supports your entire workflow, from the first prompt to the finishing touches. You can collaborate with others, use branded templates, and return to earlier iterations through version history as your work evolves. In the same workspace, you can choose from a robust library of frontier models or use the Auto router to match the right model to the task at hand.

The NVIDIA scandal is not really about infidelity. The fact that he is married certainly makes matters worse, but he is also Taiwanese-American and allegedly cheated with a “Chinese spy.” Let’s not forget that NVIDIA powers much of the AI industry, at a time when America is locked in an AI race with China. More importantly, the two countries have longstanding geopolitical tensions. We cannot lose sight of this broader geopolitical context when discussing the scandal.

I've got a Monday deadline and I know that I won't be able to complete all the work tomorrow so I thought let me log on this evening to save my weekends. Yeah none of it is working because of Microsoft.

[Abby🫶🏼❤️‍🔥 @seniorswifties]

My heating bill always annoys me. I use so little but pay so much in standing charges? This is what PM needs to fix. Because how is this even allowed? Yes I can afford it, that’s not the point.

[PoliticsBabe @Bellhookschild]

I thought so because my emails won't load

[Buzzing Pop @BuzzingPop]

Tim Westwood appeared at Southwark Crown Court today, where he pleaded not guilty to two further sexual offence charges.

The total number of charges against him now stands at 17, relating to allegations made by nine women between 1983 and 2016.

One of the best solutions to this problem was genuinely The X Factor and similar shows. All of Girls Aloud, One Direction, Little Mix, JLS, Leona Lewis, Alexandra Burke & Olly Murs all just came from ordinary backgrounds. That foot in the door is now lost.

🚨 NEW: The Government has proposed changes so job applicants would no longer need to declare certain childhood criminal convictions to employers

Those convicted of robbery, ABH, affray, violent disorder and supplying drugs to kids would only appear on checks for 5.5 years

This is Amsterdam to London.

Even when trying to make train look better (time before arrival less than advised, begin / end point is train station, flight time more than actual, half hour passport control in UK) flying to every airport in London (even SEN) wins.

[Justine @bean0509]

My issue with David Walliams is that he threatened suicide. Like the same way an abusive boyfriend does when you say you’re leaving and it speaks to his guilt in my opinion. Weird that ITV did the deep dive even though they’re the ones who employed him.
