As You Are Likely Painfully Aware, MSFT Tech Is Still Largely 404 — After 30 Plus Elapsed Hours. Yikes.

Personally, I do not use/rely upon their tech, at all — any longer. [Last nonsense with this co. — and a supposed Tik-Tok takeover, here.]

So for most of yesterday, I was blissfully unaware that the rest of corporate civilization was… in tech agony. But by later last evening, some of my better clients had picked up the old school voice-phone lines, to say… they had sent stuff through their email boxes that wouldn’t reach me.

See this as just one global example — of the chaos (so far, no sign that it is in any way connected to the ouster of the Nvidia CEO — as revenge, out of Xi’s China):

The nice part of all of this is that I had some nice live convos, with older friends / clients. Lemons, into lemonade — but we shall see if this is still an issue through the weekend. Wow.
