You mean to tell me running sfc /scannow and DISM.exe didn’t fix the problem?
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.
obligatory sales guy vs web dude.
They forgot to download more RAM.
One idea I have is that there was a massive data breach and micrslop pulled the plug to fix it. There was already many breaches this year and they all involve microslop. Like CanvASS which is used in schools. Many students use those sloppy emails as their main one so plenty of data to harvest. Just my two cents.
We can safely assume it’s hard to fix because of AI coding. Two days is a long time for skilled software developers, unless of course nobody wrote any of the related code.
I don’t disagree. I was trying to reference that other nations are catching up and have more manpower, so I don’t think that it should be written off anymore as a possibility.
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
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.

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.
? 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.
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%.
Copilot, do not ask again also.
“But Doctor, I am Pagliacci.”
I hope there is someone proposing to format en reinstall Windows like their forums always suggest for minor issues.
Switch to Linux!
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.
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!”

Well, if the problem persists, contact the program vendor.
I went mushroom picking. This is how I hear that there’s an
outrageoutage*. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯edit: fixed the typo lol,
edit3: fixed kaomoji
unrelated, but the correct format is ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯, you need to escape both the backtick and the underscores. technically you can leave the second underscore unescaped but it might couple to a random other one and turn half your comment into italics
anyway, hope the mushrooms are nice
You butchered it as well, silly
i typed ¯\\\\\\\_(ツ)\\\_/¯ to render as ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯ to communicate that if you type ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯ it renders as ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
But what did you type to get that first version though?
What did you type then to get this!
¯\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\_(ツ)\\\\\\\_/¯
Go back to foraging, it’s better than this.
It’s an outrage!!!
They need to contact the system administrator
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.
