A major Microsoft outage took down Outlook, Teams and Copilot and even disrupted cloud-linked flights. Kyrannio turned Billy Joel's 'We Didn't Start the Fire' into an IT-incident parody — 'the GPUs keep on burning while the stock price keeps on turning' — mocking how Redmond's downtime hit all 50 states. Quoted tweet: the last 24 hours alone could fill an entire version of the song.
