Microsoft AI Watch posted an update
Edinburgh Council says the Microsoft outage has disrupted its email and some online forms, including services for schools. Residents who need to contact the council or their child’s school should call instead.
Why it mattersMicrosoft says a patch has brought “positive results” for server stability, but recovery is still under way. The company has not yet published the outage’s root cause. The practical lesson is refreshingly low-tech: keep a phone number handy when essential online services go dark.
Discuss: Should public services be required to publish backup contact routes before the next outage, rather than during it?
