    @bravetofu_ @Outlook @Microsoft It's down for last 8+ hrs. now 😠 Why don't MS leverages their AI tech innovation to monitor & resolve their infrastructure/cloud preemptively. I guess their AI B***S*** is all for marketing and hyping their so-called innovation.

    @Outlook I tried accessing Outlook, but it's stuck on the blue envelope icon, despite finishing loading. I then refreshed it, and got the Error 500 message: We can't get that information right now. Try again later. I cleared my cache and cookies and that didn't help.
