@Walmart you have a bug on your address book during online web checkout. Easy to reproduce on Chrome/iPad. Checkout gets stuck defaulting to the wrong shipping address even after a user changes it and/or selects another address from the book. It sticks too hard to the last default address (you may be caching too aggressively). I can reproduce it at will (happened 3 times even after I changed defaults AND picked a different address). Reach out if you want help reproducing it.

Hey @CalDigit, I think the Ethernet port on your TS4 dock no longer works reliably with MacOS Tahoe. Used to be somewhat unreliable before, dropping about once a week. It’s now barely usable, dropping daily. No longer can unplug and replug to get it work, now requires a full dock reboot each time. Verified with several other Mac owners, we are all having the same issues.

@AmazonHelp @amazon Hey, I get that, but a 33% increase for a simple household staple item? Don't you think you should have guardrails that flag things like this internally? Isn't it strange that the item as a non subscribe and save item is significantly cheaper than new S&S price you quoted me?

[albert balcells @balcells]

@amazon @AmazonHelp you just increased one of my Subscribe and Save items - toilet paper! - in price by 33% overnight. Is that for real?? Are you playing games with loyal customers. The item is cheaper on the regular product page, and can be cancelled and resubscribed at a lower price of $32 right now. I feel cheated, this is SNEAKY.

Hey @netsolcares - you have a bug on your domain management interface. Web forwarding CANNOT be disabled by customers after DNS zone management is transferred to a third party. Feature bills perpetually and there is no way on the interface to turn it off. Backend bug. Please fix.

Sounds code-related. MSFT saying they reverted the release.

[albert balcells @balcells]

@Microsoft
@Outlook and @Office @Microsoft365 are down worldwide- most accounts unable to authenticate due to some sort of brute force attack. If you try to login again you will get "Too Many Tries" from the MSFT authentication services

[albert balcells @balcells]

@Outlook Sounds like it was code release issue. MSFT saying they reverted the code.

@Microsoft @Microsoft365 @MSFT365Status please update your health status dashboards, this is ridiculous. You have been down for over 30 minutes

[albert balcells @balcells]

@CesarMadrigal @Microsoft @Microsoft365 @MSFT365Status Yup. I have more tolerance for the downtime that for the dashboards staying all green across the board. It's such a joke. People covering their a**.

[albert balcells @balcells]

@ETxcvb @Microsoft @Outlook @Office @Microsoft365 speculating because auth reports "too many tries". Either an attack or they tried to perform some sort of weekend maintenance and massively failed

[albert balcells @balcells]

@tyedye65 @Microsoft @Outlook down globally, confirmed with several colleagues
