Gives me a solid job and pays the bills.

 

It did me too for many years. Still doesn't change my opinion about it.

From MS....

We’ve rerouted network traffic to alternate infrastructure and are seeing improvements in service ability. We’ll continue to closely monitor telemetry as we work to identify the underlying cause of the network issue.

Oh good grief. The IT dept at work is telling us that not only is there an MS outage, but a problem with our firewall too! "If you work from home then you might have more luck".

Hmmm any microsoft service seems non reachable through farmside unless I use a VPN or my mobile data.

Wow Farmside is still a thing?! Think you need to pop on over to Starlink!

Things just popped back to life ~1 minute ago here.

Glad to hear CrowdStrike didn't mess things up again. 😉🤣🙃

Move it to the cloud they said. 

It will be cheaper they said. No.

It will have better uptime they said. No.

It will require less support they said. No.

It will have better and more features they said. Ok, yes that's true. 

A bit late to the conversation but

I've been using MS365, Teams, Outlook etc and a few other sites that I use with "Log in with Microsoft" since about 7am this morning and not had a problem.

My exit to the internet is Spark in Dunedin. I’m actually hot spotted to my phone( OneNZ) PC has a VPN connection to an office in Dunedin that is connected to Spark. All traffic goes via VPN to the office.
