Due to an incident affecting Microsoft Outlook, emails to HSBC colleagues may be delayed and affect instructions, requests or queries sent to us. Be alert for criminals who use events like this to trick people. Take a moment to think before making a payment or sharing information

If Microsoft Outlook doesn’t come back soon, Millennials and Gen X are about to become the most valuable employees in the building. Some of us still remember how to use physical filing systems, office mail, fax machines and actual telephones. We were trained for this.

We are so dependent on a handful of tech giants that one Microsoft outage can disrupt an entire country.

Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud?
Which one is the best cloud service?

I hate outlook, I hate teams as a platform. I hate Authenticator with a passion I cannot even describe.
So, ya know, a small smile this morning.

“Physical games could become gaming’s version of vinyl records”
Fuck you. Physical Games should NOT be like vinyl. Fuck that. And fuck you Strauss Zelnick you greedy piece of shit.
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick says physical game discs could become gaming’s version of vinyl records.
In an interview with The Game Business, Zelnick said physical games will remain “a very small part of the business”, comparing their future to vinyl records in music.
As for GTA 6, he says any decision about a physical disc release will be up to Rockstar.

Hospitals, governments, banks, airlines all run on Microsoft. At what point is this not just an outage, but a national security issue?

This isn't framed as a cybersecurity issue, but it should be.
Essential services should not be provided by private companies at this scale. Microsoft, AWS and Google control 63% of the global cloud computing market. This is a huge risk.

These concentrated capabilities create large shared risk surfaces. Cloud intrusion, identity compromise, supply-chain flaws, and AI-driven evasion are more immediate threats for most architectures than geopolitical ones. Resolving the root dependencies—least privilege, verified chains, strong identity isolation—comes first; extra tooling only multiplies the surface.

We constantly hear about how essential cloud computing is to society.
AWS, Google and Microsoft control 63% of the global cloud computing market. Imagine three companies controlling 63% of any other essential service.
