I am delighted that my employer made the Very Sensible Decision to go all in on cloud-based software and not at all smug that I ignored them and still keep everything on my hard drive

The irony of using a cloud-based social network to coordinate the physical dismantling of the cloud. We’re just one unplugged router away from returning to the era of reading books and staring at walls.

3. Planes are grounded nationally bc of air traffic controllers not being able to talk to pilots.
4. Tanker collides with cruise ship.
Every catastrophe is Internet-based.

oh hey everyone turns out the FAA also turned on its brand new SMART system three days ago

"SMART is a cloud-based system that centralizes 200 data streams – including weather patterns, flight paths, traffic flow, and controller staffing metrics – into one platform"

CEO of Microsoft should go anyways for the excessive push for cloud based stuff. Which has never truly worked.
So, the CEO of Microsoft, and probably the COO and CTO get canned for this, right?
Does any board permit the c-suite to fire 60,000 clearly essential employees and then witness core offerings collapse at a global scale and leave them in place?

Whats not being well reported is Microsoft 365 is also fucked as HNZ moved to a cloud based system, rather than local.
My PC can't confirm I have a valid license so right now I can't read or write documents
Even the web based options are offline, so I'm going home

It's almost like relying on a cloud-based model is a bad idea.
Microsoft is struggling to restore access to some of its flagship software more than nine hours after an outage began, leaving users unable to use email and chat services in one of the tech giant’s most severe disruptions in recent memory
Microsoft Says It’s Working to Fix Outlook, Copilot Outage
Microsoft Corp. said it was working to restore access to its bundle of workplace software, saying customers may experience issues connecting to email and other tools.

365 is their cloud product. So yes, definitively not having cloud support is disqualifying. Literally it is a thing people use because it is cloud-based.

This is why EU nations, and the EU itself, are pivoting /. have pivoted away from US based cloud services. Indeed, all services. Even Google.

How many services are there that, if they go down, take down large sections of the economy with them? Off the top of my head, the obvious ones are Microsoft, Google, AWS, and Cloudflare (maybe OpenAI and Anthropic at this point too).
