Non-nerd explanation of the Outlook, etc, outage today for those who care
An ominous *something* caused a whole metric shit ton of Microsoft cloud servers to shit the bed. This caused all the data they would normally have handled to be sent to the servers that didn’t shit the bed. THOSE servers screamed holy terror “TOO MUCH!! TOO MUCH!!”, like a virgin taking Mandingo and everything shit the bed.
They still haven’t fixed it and appear to not know what caused it yet.
‼️ UPDATE: Microsoft's outage now reaches far beyond Outlook. Teams, SharePoint, Copilot and even its Defender XDR security platform are hit.
Consumers can't reach their OneDrive storage or Office on the web either, TechCrunch reports.
Microsoft first blamed elevated load. Now it says a large number of its servers became unexpectedly unavailable, dumping their load onto the rest. It hasn't said why.
It is restarting the servers with a fix in place, investigating why they show high processor use, and has paused all deployments.

@zuki_2024 I'm worried about a homeless tweaker pulling a gun on me in my commute.
Not cause he'll shoot me but because I'll be in big trouble if he lives.
