Microsoft’s globally popular productivity software suite, Microsoft 365, is reportedly down for thousands of users.

According to Downdetector, an independent outage tracking platform, around 3,960 users reported issues with Microsoft 365 as of 6:03 p.m. ET on Thursday.

Before that, there were over 15,880 user reports suggesting a Microsoft 365 outage.

Outlook, Teams, Defender, and SharePoint Online were not working due to the outage, and users complained that there were issues when sending and receiving emails, accessing files, and using collaboration tools.

It should be noted that the outage tracking website gathers status reports from various sources, including user-submitted errors, so the actual number of affected users may differ from the reported figures.

The Windows developers acknowledged the issue, stating that it was adjusting traffic across affected infrastructure while efforts were underway to fully restore the service.

According to Microsoft, a portion of its North American service infrastructure wasn’t processing traffic as it should, affecting several of its services at a time.

Chris Pratt revealed opened up his early days in the industry as he revealed that he almost went by a different name.

The 46-year-old actor said he once seriously thought about going with Christo, a nickname he got while working at the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company in Maui.

His name tag had the last letters rubbed off, so it just said Christo and everyone at work started calling him that.

He told the story on the Happy Sad Confused podcast with Josh Horowitz.

Pratt said the nickname stuck with him for a while and he even considered keeping it when he moved to Los Angeles to chase his acting dreams.

In the end, the Jurassic World actor kept his real name as his first role came in 2000 in a short film called Cursed Part 3 after director Rae Dawn Chong spotted him at the restaurant.

Pratt also talked about artificial intelligence in movies where he criticised the AI actress Tilly Norwood, saying that he doesn’t think machines can replace real actors.

However, he called it fake and said human talent will always matter no matter what.

Whereas Tilly’s creator, Eline van der Velden, defended while saying that the AI was made for creative tools like puppets or animation, a new way to explore stories without replacing real performers.

Rose Byrne has been finally nominated for her first-ever Oscar, a huge moment in her career.

The 46-year-old Australian actress earned a spot in the Best Actress category for her charming role in If I Had Legs I’d Kick You.

This achievement came after her recent Golden Globes win, making it even more special time for her.

Byrne admitted that she was completely shocked when she got to know her Oscars nod.

“I can’t believe it. I feel like I’ve snuck into the back of the bus,” she said to Hollywood Reporter.

The actress added that being part of the Oscars’ history and ceremony felt overwhelming but amazing.

As a little girl in Sydney, she used to watch the star-studded event and dreamed about a moment like this in her entire life.

The Platonic star also shared a sweet update about her family which included the bearded dragon her husband Bobby Cannavale and their kids at the Globes.

“He’s doing well! The kids are very happy,” she shared.

However, Rose faced tough competition this year, including Jessie Buckley, Kate Hudson, Renate Reinsve, and Emma Stone.

At that same time, films like Sinners made history with record nominations, while some favourites like Ariana Grande were surprisingly left out.

The 98th Academy Awards, for the unversed, will take place at the Dolby Theatre on March 15.
