If you're annoyed at Microsoft, this might help you feel a little better.

Microsoft owes you money for today's outage. They won't tell you. Here's how to claim it.

Outlook, Teams, Copilot, SharePoint: down for hours today and still going!

Microsoft's SLA allows 44 minutes of downtime per month.

Today blew past that before lunch was over.

That means a credit:

25% if you were down more than 44 minutes
50% if you were down more than about 7 hours

Microsoft won't apply it automatically. You have to ask.

How (2 minutes):
M365 admin center → Support → New service request → "SLA credit for EX1550543 / MO1550821"
(+ TM1550488 if Teams died this morning)
Bought through a reseller? Ask them.

Do this today: note when it went down, when it came back, and how many users were affected.

Every credit nobody claims tells Microsoft outages are free.

Claim it. Share this with your IT team.

I always say look at what they do and not just what they say.

He went to El Salvador where was Schumer?

Mastodon Migration

@mastodonmigration@mastodon.online 2 min. ago

@AnnieBuddy Indeed. No way Schumer really has 40 votes lined up. This type of disinformation nonsense is what we are trying to leave behind.

If you do a search for news on "Van Hollen" you will be bombarded by articles on the futility of his bid for Majority Leader. You'll even learn John Fetterman is so incensed, he will leave the Democratic Party if Van Hollen is elected leader by his colleagues.

But you can also watch this video, where Chris Van Hollen sidesteps the billionaire media gatekeepers and spells out his agenda for fighting for the priorities of #WeThePeople.

Please share the video widely.

A moment of being slightly more serious than usual. Please, take a few minutes to check your:

* balls: https://www.nhs.uk/tests-and-treatments/how-to-check-your-testicles/

* breasts / chest: https://www.nhs.uk/tests-and-treatments/how-to-check-your-breasts-or-chest/

If you are nervous or hesitant about doing it yourself, or lack the mobility, ask someone that you trust to help.

TMI? Sandra and I have a calendar reminder to do it monthly.

@atax1a @Cdespinosa Did you see the claim that there was some machine that was sending out 1000x as much data as it should have (or something similar, do not quote me on this)?

Chris Espinosa

@Cdespinosa@mastodon.social 4 min. ago

@mcc yes, and I can absolutely see where integrating gigabit fiber into a legacy T1 network could do just that. But this has been in process for seven years and hundreds of similar upgrades were apparently unremarkable. L3Harris aren’t newbies at this (they’re a merger of Harris and the remnants of Loral). I’m very curious about the precise technical issue and what the recovery plan actually was.
