This has been an issue since the 1990’s.
Power outages, internet service down, servers down.
That’s why Microsoft sold full versions of the office programs
On CD’s
I run full versions of Microsoft office on my home computers
And everything works only email service and teams is not working.

FAA calls ground halt on all flights.

So at this point dunno if it's MS dominos still falling or whether there's a cyberattack of a type they can't identify yet.

edit: btw had to return to one of the stores that had inoperable automatic doors last night, this afternoon, and doors were working, hours after some MS stuff came back on, hmmm.

Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.
