Today it's Microsoft's turn to be the somebody else's computer that goes down worldwide. News is saying Azure and 365 were down and are starting to come back up, but Microsoft's support website (support.microsoft.com) is still down for me as I post.
Hypothesis: Copilot told a vibe-coding employee to FORMAT C: /Y on the Azure servers and convinced the poor sod's vibe-working manager to sign off on it.
If your government's legislature can't vote because a third-party commercial ~~cloud~~ somebody-else's-computer is down, then your government needs to ditch it for an on-prem solution pronto.
