Here is some official news from a tech that works for Msn services in there DC.

Msn services made an update not so long ago for the new messenger 7 beta and its features, however when they implemented the new system into the server cluster things when wrong and packets are being sent to the wrong routers and nodes ( servers ).

There DC is always having problems, they have cheap and nasty equipment from IBM. So no wonder it always phux up.

not a big deal, go outside or read a book

I would go and read a book, or even go outside, but I'm stuck in work. MSN being the only IM application that I can use on our ducks backside of a network. :( guess I'll just have to actually do some bloody work now

Got his from another forum:

Everyone is having problems with MSN, me included, my friend has informed me that some little (Insert Swearword) is hacking into DOS and has knocked MSN out, so I dunno how long its going to be unavailable.
I replied with:
lol, you seriously think someone is got into DOS on MSN Servers?

Sorry, but i dont even think Microsoft Use DOS anymore, they tried to filter it out by calling it a different name using XP.

Good thing I went on to Trillian yesterday, however, it doesnt give it any points for the testing side of it :( Will wait till it blows over, then test it again.

      I just started using Teams (and “New” Oiutlook) at work (instead of Slack) and both are truly abysmal pieces of software.

      If you are willing to go to approx $200, then as mentioned in your other thread I think a refurbished Pixel 8 will be a great deal that will last you for years. I recently recommended that to someone at work, he was on a strict £200 budget, which got him an excellent conditioned refurbished Pixel 8 here. He's since told me its the best phone he's ever had and feels its a massive upgrade over his old Samsung A series device. I don't know the sites which deal in refurbished devices in the US, however I’m sure you will have some options like we do here. Failing that Ebay is also quite good in my experience. If you wanted something a bit cheaper, then you could maybe go for an older Pixel 7, these will still get security updates until the end of 2027. Even after that you have good third party OS support from LineageOS. It doesn't have to be a Pixel though, you can buy many older devices for a good deal that would be better than a new $100 phone and flash LineageOS to them: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/

      I don't use one drive, but then I don't use any cloud storage, not even Icloud on my mac. If I did use cloud storage, then I would not use One drive, not because there is anything wrong with it, but because I can use Icloud. The only reason I see to use one drive is if your job requires you to have access to it

      Not built in, which is not a bad thing. There are ways of adding cloud storage to it, Dropbox is the most well know that also have a client for Linux, but there are others.
