EuroNews is generally pretty respectable, but it is sad that their cookie/tracking banner isn't compliant. Equally sad that no one at EuroNews management have seen the banner and though: 870 partners seems like 867 to many.
Arguably EuroNews is a strange source for news like this, but companies like Microsoft and Amazon are terrible about communicating outages directly.
Considering this is about as straight-from-horse-mouth[1] as you could get short of it coming from microsoft.com, whoever are downvoting this clearly suffer from X Derangement Syndrome.

Twitter is unusable if you don’t have an account. Only thing that works is direct link to tweets. I imagine there are plenty of privacy conscious people on this platform who don’t have social media accounts so a link to a Twitter account is pretty much useless for them.
When you say "privacy conscious people" most of us hear "luddites".
You're on a social media site right now, using an alias. Do the same on Twitter and stop being whiny about things that don't matter.
Hey, privacy is a vald concern. I could just as easily say 'When you say "privacy doesn't matter" most of us hear "moron".
Try being a bit more civil next time.
I got banned within 10 minutes when I tried that. (Twitter's TOS says I'm no longer allowed to create accounts.)
By default, the posts are all out of order. Top 5 posts are from 2022, 2023, 2020, Jul 19 (Crowdstrike), Jul 18. (in that specific order)
Not really useful for the 'latest' going on.
Twitter used to be able to do that, was super useful to get the pulse of a current event.
It's a countermeasure to intensive scraping by bots for AI purposes that was costing them a lot of server costs.
Not sure what's wrong with your feed, if I go to that account the top post is from 3 hours ago concerning this outage along with two replies at 2 hours and then ~48 minutes ago located right under it.
You're logged in, they are not.
Yeah I used to use Twitter without an account quite a bit and I guess saw a decent amount of ads to make it worthwhile for them. Don’t understand them messing with non-logged in users.
I haven’t used twitter in a couple of years now because of that even though I’d like to. It’s completely useless unless I’ve a direct link to a tweet
I didn't downvote, but my only problem is that I can't tell if it's a more respectable source or not since twitter won't let me see anything without creating an account ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Checking in from Oz, Outlook was working fine 30 minutes ago.
If people cared about that they wouldn't be using Microsoft.
So many unfortunately don't have a choice
Looks like global productivity will see a small but positive bump today.
If only Slack could take some of its 0.0x% sometime soon, I might be able to finish off three or four dangling threads.
I understand why it is still popular, I first used it at my current job and for the life of me I do not understand how people put up with it. It is one of the worst applications I use in my daily work life.
Almost 20 years ago, I remember getting in an argument with a new manager who was pushing for the company to use Exchange “because that’s what businesses do”
Then about 5 years ago something similar happened at another company when I was against 365. Their argument was “I know it sucks, but that’s microsoft’s preferred way”
There are a lot of people with decision making power that base their decisions solely on marketing material.
Then you should think yourself lucky that you've never had to use Lotus Notes.
Opposing Microsoft products and services is career ending attitude in the enterprise environment. Bill and Steve (the other one) are not such nice guys as many think.
I only wish it was down... it's all good here in NL.
It was down this morning, producing a plaintext 404 for some endpoints for some reason. Seems like they managed to fix most of it, though.
We're having problems here in NL.
SharePoint Online search is broken too.
> SharePoint Online search is broken too.
How could you tell ?
If only there was some way, maybe through decentralization, to ensure that not all of Microsoft Exchange customer where down at the same time. Maybe if there where a self-hosting option, or a partner network that could offer these service. Oh well, guess we'll never know.
MO941162, not that it gets updated that often.
Oh no! Now I won't be able to attend our weekly monday morning meeting! The horror!

!! Surely there's a more respectable source.
Anyway, Outlook is working fine for me here in NZ. This news seems to be a day old: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=MO941162

More respectable source - https://x.com/MSFT365Status
How do you evaluate respectability in this case? The icon that meant verified on Twitter now only means that someone paid money to X.
(And of course you can't read it if you're not logged in.)
Exactly like how you evaluate respectability on any platform including the web. Not like there are reliable checkmarks everywhere you go.
In this case you can find this X account linked on some Microsoft status pages.

I respect them more. So that’s one data point..
