Microsoft's 'Blue Screen of Death' | Global cyber outage affects users: Jan Vermeulen

Microsoft users faced a frustrating Friday morning as they were unable to access Microsoft 365 apps and services.
For more, we speak to Mybroadband Editor Jan Vermeulen.

Microsoft 365 includes things like the online versions of Word and Powerpoint. This is where we are at. Even some governments in the EU have gone ahead and started using LibreOffice and Linux as thier primary workflow. Don't depend on companies like this for basic functionality.

Thats why the first thing i do when owning new devices is stoping the automatic updates since 8 years ago

The t-shirt tells that the dude is a DevOps developer, works with cloud techs etc.

Are they sure it wasn't the massive amount of usage on the Grinder app in the area of the RNC?

Ok, so it wasn’t Microsoft, it was a security company CloudStrike

Do users have opportunity to accept or void automatic updates?

[RobbieFlynnRSA]

Ya you want to move everything to the cloud. This is what you get!
