You mean to tell me running sfc /scannow and DISM.exe didn’t fix the problem?
You must log in or # to comment.
Yeah I keep hearing that office isn’t working.
And I am wondering why the fuck does no one open the local version, cause surely they wouldn’t be stupid enough to only use the apps in the cloud.
surely they wouldn’t be stupid enough to
Whenever these words are uttered, they’re usually not true.
You mean why would corporate want everything in the cloud? Hmm… Well, I can think of a few reasons why you’d want email and calendars and online meeting to be, well, online.
They forgot to download more RAM.
Copilot, fix this outage, make no mistakes
…what? You say copilot is down too? Call the engineers. Where are they anyway?
…laid off you say?
It probably won’t be said officially but what are the chances this is due to some vibe coded slip?
I’d say 50/50 either vibe coded slop, or some sabotage from people who got laid off on their way out. Or both
60,000 Microsoft employees laid off = lots of technically skilled people who need money = a lot of stuff is gonna get hacked in the near future
It’s just a big coincidence that software quality slipped at all the major software vendors in the last year or so.
100%.
“But Doctor, I am Pagliacci.”
Copilot, do not ask again also.
obligatory sales guy vs web dude.
How is LibreOffice looking right now, huh?
Almost as good as WordCraft.
WordCraft should be called WordSlop
You can have paid MicroSlop slop that gives them access to your data for training models or open source CraftSlop slop that doesn’t. Neither works worth a shit, so pick your poison. Either that, or just use slop-free LibreOffice.
i’m afraid that’s already taken by microslop word
I feel a little bad for abandoning all the FOSS versions of software I’ve learned over the years (GIMP, Inkscape, FreeCAD, LibreOffice, Kdenlive) but I’m having a lot of fun learning the SlopCraft stack
Same. Big learning curve on some of them if you’ve never used the originals. Nice that they run so happily on my 14 year old Debian laptop as well.
Completely sloppified.
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/AI_policy
Before you can start using LLMs, you must request permission from the Engineering Steering Committee by sending an email to the developer mailing list. In the request, point out your non-trivial contributions to LibreOffice and explain why you need to use LLMs. The ESC will reach out to you after reviewing your request.
That’s sloppified; the only sane amount of AI is zero.
? Looked this one up and only found a couple community contributions that had any ai usage at all. Seems like they’ve taken a fairly hard stance.
The only sane amount of AI is zero.
Regardless of this opinion I don’t think it’s fair to say “completely sloppified”
I hope there is someone proposing to format en reinstall Windows like their forums always suggest for minor issues.
Switch to Linux!
Switched two years ago! Ironically that involved the new installation of an OS as well…
That’s always my recommendation to friends with windows problems. 15% of the time it works every time.
Is this not how ansible and infrastructure as code is supposed to kind of work? If an instance acts up, kill it and redeploy?
Reintalling Windows surprisingly solves those minor issues, however doing a reinstall just for that is insane.
DISM.exe?
Did you mean… Dism /online /cleanup-image /checkhealth
Dism/online/cleanup-image /restorehealth
Then do your sfc/scannow
And throw in a chkdsk /f for fun.
Those are just arguments being passed to DISM.exe
This kind of outage could have been prevented if we just centralized everything HARDER.
/s, right?
Around 2am CST my work emails started coming through again. Can’t wait to see how they spin this.
My prediction is that this is going to be spun in a way that’s like, “See? We need more hyperscale data centers so this type of thing doesn’t happen!”
Microsoft Outage - heck yeah, that’s their new flagship product!
Well, if the problem persists, contact the program vendor.
Have they try turning it off and on again?
Haha, I got to work and its still broken. I read about this last night and though damn why must it happen after I finished work.
Its STILL down! At least they can still claim 99% uptime I guess.
Two nines is a terrible quota.
Its not up yet, who knows, 1 nine would be very funny.
Pretty soon, we’ll be asking how many eights Microsoft has.
