  @farzyness @bot That's why I have GrokB using Grok build cli. Same with emails. I have a mailB who uses a custom build mcp server that retrieves my emails from office 365 graph. Waiting for 4.7 though.

  @Mettshish @onestromelufan @NetflixAnime It’s the stupid Indians that work there that caused this whole mess, they have been doing this for a very long time and have been getting away with it for a long long time. Until now this plague has started to reveal itself into the public eye. Office 365 not working in space was just the tip of the iceberg people

  @Marketintel_x @BrodyFord_ @business It’s crap. co-pilot’s worse performance is when you seek its assistance with other Microsoft software. You have better luck using Google to help with Microsoft Office 365 issues.

  @umarsaif They won't get a chance to become "real". The issue is AI Agents are removing the need for abstraction, UI and unwanted code layers. Entire office suite is now useless. Forget about office 365. Mails, comm channels will survive for sometime. Where Indian IT will contribute?

  @korewadiego My biggest problems are that the UI is awful compared to Office 365, and it seems incapable of opening an existing docx without completely nuking the formatting.

  Breck Yunits (@breckyunits) reported 26 minutes ago

  @Trace_Cohen The long tail uses of AI are enormous. There are so many things that open self-hosted models enable that are off the table with centralized controlled models. Think of *nix on satellites, rather than them phoning Redmond for a license renewal, as an illustrative example. I already see a higher exponential growth in brains investing in open models than frontier models. Similar to how when I worked at Microsoft, the best were all using *nix and *** at home. It will only hang on to the frontier if it can government capture. Now that's a huge possibility, perhaps even greater than 50%. I mean Microsoft's software is terrible, (Windows, Azure, Office 365), and yet crushes it because of gov capture. It would be financially reckless to short without accurately modeling that risk. But in a free market, open >> closed.

  @NXT4EU We used to have office computers, running on an office server park. No outside computers had access. Micro$oft mandates Office 365 and OneDrive. The server may be in Europe, but where is the backup server. And more important: Who has admin rights over your files?

  @kmcnam1 MS Office 365 is a SCAM and now this! I don’t use AI agents even though I’m a senior developer at a large banking institution. I don’t see a use case considering AI still too slow to respond.

  Microsoft Threat Intelligence (@MsftSecIntel) reported 36 minutes ago

  Microsoft Threat Intelligence has identified a cluster of compromised websites displaying ClickFix lures and using EtherHiding, a technique associated with the ClearFake campaign. An injected Base64-encoded JavaScript contacts a BNB Smart Chain RPC gateway to query a smart contract previously reported in connection with ClearFake to fetch next-stage instructions. Content stored in a smart contract is resistant to conventional takedown or sinkholing because only the owner of the cryptocurrency wallet that deployed it can make changes. Users are presented with a fake CAPTCHA that instructs them to open the Windows Run dialog, paste clipboard content, and press Enter to execute an attacker-supplied command under the guise of verification. We’re seeing multiple forms of command obfuscation and living-off-the-land abuse, including conhost, cmd, PowerShell, pcalua, mshta, rundll32, msiexec, curl, WMI, WebDAV, and scheduled tasks. Carets split keywords, environment variables hide interpreters, and Windows run headlessly or minimized. TerminalFix lures apply the same technique but direct users to Windows Terminal or PowerShell instead of the Run dialog. This campaign demonstrates that ClickFix and TerminalFix are a high-volume initial access technique. Microsoft reports campaigns targeting thousands of enterprise and consumer devices globally every day, while some malvertising chains can funnel visitors to scam pages. Numerous actors use the technique to deliver Lumma Stealer and other infostealers, RATs such as Xworm and AsyncRAT, loaders including MintsLoader, and remote management tools. A single successful execution can expose credentials, establish persistence, enable lateral movement, and create a path to human-operated ransomware and potential domain compromise. Microsoft recommends that organizations enable Microsoft Defender network, web, and cloud-delivered protection; restrict Run and command-line tools where not required; enable PowerShell script-block logging; and implement application control. Users should never paste commands from CAPTCHAs, browser errors, emails, ads, or unsolicited support pages into Run, Terminal, PowerShell, or Command prompt. Microsoft Defender XDR provides layered protection across the ClickFix attack chain. Defender SmartScreen and Defender for Office 365 help block malicious sites, links, attachments, and fake CAPTCHA lures, while Defender for Endpoint detects suspicious command execution and outbound connections through alerts like “Suspicious command in RunMRU registry”, “Possible ClickFix activity”, “Possible initial access from an emerging threat”. Microsoft Defender Antivirus blocks malicious command execution using detections such as Trojan:Win32/ClickFix.* and Trojan:Win32/TermFix.*. Treat these alerts as evidence of a potential initial access incident: isolate affected devices, investigate credential exposure and persistence, and hunt for related activity.

  I've been thinking about this a lot. I've been using Windows most of my life, and in general preferred it to other operating systems. Windows 10 was solid, it just worked and got out of the way. Enter Windows 11. I read all the bad online press, and even defended Windows. Until I installed Windows 11 on my new home PC. It's hard to describe how badly MS ****** up Windows as a consumer operating system. Some of the top things that drove (and still does) me insane; 1. The initial install is quick enough. But then, enter the Co-Pilot and Office 365 prompts. I had to decline Co-Pilot probably 7 or 8 times during the install. Absolute madness. I do not want to use it, and have no interest in it. Just stop with this madness. 2. Create a local user? Nope! You must have a Microsoft account linked to OneDrive. I bought a desktop PC to play games, and do things locally. I do not want or need a cloud based account linked to and blocking my PC setup. 3. I want to create a separate local profile for my 6 year old daughter. Nope! Can't do that... your kid needs a Microsoft account. Absolute ******* madness. 4. Finally I get everything setup... cool now let's get Minecraft installed for kids. I buy Minecraft in the store. Go through the hugely convoluted user switching process, login to daughters account. Minecraft's not there. WTF? Game is tied to, and only available to play under my login. 5. Figure out I have to setup family sharing. The UX to get this going is such a ******* hot mess I almost give up. One of the worst user journeys I've ever done in my life. After all the effort, I cannot share Minecraft with my daughter's account. To this day I haven't been able to figure out why, as all the prerequisites are met. So now as a parent, and owner of the paying account, I can't buy games for my kids. Serious WTF moment. 6. Never ending daily barrage of Co-Pilot and OneDrive notifications. 7. The overall UX of Windows 11 has also just been neutered. File Explorer is now as bad as MacOS, and the OS is laggy as hell for simple tasks. And OMG, ads everywhere. Always. For an OS I paid thousands for. I can't imagine ever wanting to say upgrade my parents to Windows 11, it simply just won't work them. The only thing really keeping me on Windows right now, is Flight Sim 2024. But TBH I've been very disappointed in that as well, outside of fancy graphics, it's very meh compared to previous versions. Modern Linux distros are looking very enticing right now. All the games I play via Steam work on Linux, and Nvidia driver support lately is good. Microsoft should take long hard look at this. If customers move off off Windows, they move off off your entire ecosystem. No one is using your cloud products from any other OS, which seems to be the only thing MS cares about lately. Folks like @marchr and @pavandavuluri really need to undo this absolute shitshow, PM drivel driven, that MS released in Windows 11.

  @esrtweet I think Excel is the grand bottleneck, or was last I checked. Imagine trying to switch a bank, say your local credit union, over to LibreOffice or any of the StarOffice lineage. Doable in principle, but realistically all the macros are broken (the version of BASIC differs from Excel) and the median banker doesn't have muscle memory for the new keyboard shortcuts anyway. You can obviously use Office 365 from a browser, but you lose access to some features (again, last I checked) and it's still Microsoft. Linux is absolutely fine for everything I use it for. The problem is mostly just lack of attention on things that people who have already adopted it don't themselves need. Window Manager wise, there are several where it's hard to tell the difference between that and Windows or MacOS (or the difference is ~entirely good things).

  @ToddHagopian @Dream4Liberty @ChaseForLiberty They did not ask to spend $40k to tell them the system they built was broken instead of the $10k to fix it, lol. They did not ask Angela to hire Buchkovich so that there was no oversight, kill Burns' contract, then spend more than $100k killing the CiviCRM that money had just been spent on for Zoho, which is worse in every conceivable way. The destruction of everything that Moellman and Burns built happened at the end of 2023. Those IT costs listed are from the work to tear down Civi and Zoho, not the total IT costs. ONLY the intentionally doubled (because Angela, who never used Civi, decided it had to die) costs or TRIPLED costs (like with LPMail, Gmail, and Office365). I've been here 25 years, Todd. I watched what happened with the IS committee. You can be defensive about this, but you weren't the one being pointed at as a problem by Amanda or by me. You're taking facts personally, which isn't like you. Believe what you want.

  @_stormed @xPraveen07 I used to agree, but at this point, IT is just factory farming. Nobody knows what they’re doing, so if they can just use remote office 365 and basic tools, that’s what IT departments hire. I had one guy quit because “they use Linux on a server”. Ok buddy, don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

  I am really disappointed in @Apple Business. They finally launch a cloud platform for business mail, but you can’t set up a user mailbox if it was previously used in iCloud+ custom email domains?? I’m being told that it’s not just a 30 day wait, I will never be able to set those mailboxes up. And there’s no user aliases, no multi-domain email support. No multi-tenant offerings (not that I expect that yet). I get that it’s still in its infancy, but come on. These are basic features and they worked with the personal side. I found a way to create user groups with emails that seemed like a workaround to still get mail that’s addressed to these inboxes, but then I found out that they can only be emailed to internally from the same domain. Apple policies are blocking external senders. I spoke to four different support reps over 3+ hours yesterday and they don’t even understand this issue or how to fix it. They keep asking about where the domain is registered when it is clearly an issue deep within Apple systems at a very high level that needs to be changed. I didn’t like the Office 365 integration with the Apple ecosystem, which is why I was so excited for this. But not having access to my mailboxes and not even being able to implement a workaround IS A MAJOR ISSUE. What’s going on @tim_cook? How could this have shipped like this?

  @Diss0lution For many years now, the Office 365 installer is broken in French, instead of showing something like "90% complété" in the system notification icon, it says "90lformat error! complété" - incorrectly parsing the percent sign as a parameter. Trillon dollars company at work.

  Dan Greller (@dgreller) reported 54 minutes ago

  @bretgreenstein @KarolCodes Agreed. Historically, things moved at a slow enough pace that there was ample time to reasonably estimate the cost of an associate's tech stack. The value obtained from that stack was self-evident, exceeding its cost. For example, no rational firm was doing an ROI on whether a new associate should have a PC or an Office 365 license. It was table stakes. In this new AI world, both the costs and the potential value are radically changing on a routine basis. It makes it that much harder to have sound and stable financial governance models.

  @S4m4_VT @Pirat_Nation Not a Linux problem, 99% of games do works on Linux tho but via workaround (That got simplified by steam in a remarkable way) As for softwares, welp you're not going to use Office 365. You have to adapt and find the right tools that works with your machine.

  Silk Typhoon (HAFNIUM), a Chinese 🇨🇳 state APT, has evolved from on-prem Exchange exploitation to cloud-native supply chain attacks, most recently abusing CVE-2025-3928 in Commvault's Azure-hosted M365 backup SaaS to pivot into downstream customer tenants. - Initial access spans three vectors: CVE-2025-3928 (zero-day in Commvault Web Server, T1190), stolen API keys from privileged cloud vendors (T1195), and leaked corporate credentials found on public repos like GitHub (T1078.004). The Commvault campaign gave them client secrets for Metallic M365 backups, opening direct paths into customer M365 environments via hijacked service principals. - Lateral movement pivots from on-prem to cloud by targeting Entra Connect servers (T1210, T1078.002), enabling privilege sync between Active Directory and Entra ID. Credential dumping and key vault theft support pass-the-hash moves (T1550.002) into Azure. - Persistence relies on adding passwords to existing consented service principals or creating new Entra ID applications named to mimic legitimate Office 365 services (T1098.001, T1036). Web shells handle C2 on compromised Azure VMs (T1505.003). - Collection targets email via EWS and MSGraph APIs, plus SharePoint (T1213.002) and OneDrive (T1213.003), all through OAuth apps with admin consent, a low-noise, API-native exfiltration path that bypasses many endpoint controls. #DFIR_Radar

  @therahul4402 What's happening with Linux Mint? Windows 11 happened. I did not have serious issues with Windows 10. Log into your MS account..harder and harder local options. All your personal and IP and Work Product files have to be on Onedrive. Copilot. Sales push for Office 365, when anyone with a brain has been using OS for decades. Edge harassment. Poison Updates .

  I wonder how much productivity the entire world economy has lost just from Microsoft products not working as intended. Freelancing for a new company, and they gave me my first Office 365 email that I've ever had to deal with on a professional basis. Within the first 2 hours, it's not even working and won't let me send emails. I'll take "things that would never happen with Gmail" for $500.
