Microsoft outage: Outlook still down Friday morning
Updated on Friday, Nov 13 at 09:35am ET: Microsoft continues to work on the global outage that brought down Outlook and other Microsoft 365 services on Thursday (and into Friday morning).
The company's latest update says that they're "continuing to see improvements in service availability, with email queues significantly reduced and approaching normal levels." However, the problem is still not entirely fixed, as Microsoft says "some users may still experience intermittent access issues or delayed email delivery as recovery continues."
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.Updated on Friday, Nov 13 at 07:35am ET: Microsoft's latest update confirms they've made "additional progress toward recovery" and that traffic is "being gradually restored" — although "some users may still experience intermittent issues."
Yep, the Microsoft Outage is still ongoing as of Friday morning — but there may be light at the end of the tunnel.
The global issues affecting Outlook, Teams, Copilot, Microsoft 365, and other major services began on Thursday and brought many people's workdays to a swift halt.
SEE ALSO: When will the global Microsoft Outlook outage be fixed? What we know.At 4:24 a.m. ET, a Microsoft post on X indicated that the company was finally seeing signs of "early stabilization" and taking steps to preserve people's email. The company extended email timeout to 48 hours to ensure that messages that failed to deliver on Thursday aren't totally lost.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.At the start of the workday, major services including Outlook remained unavailable for many users. At 9:17 a.m. ET, the company reported that it was "continuing to see improvements in service availability, with email queues significantly reduced and approaching normal levels."
By 10:00 a.m., user error reports on the platform DownDetector had plateaued, though they were still elevated from baseline levels. As of this writing, Microsoft's Service Health Status page still lists both Microsoft 365 (business and enterprise) and Microsoft Consumer Products as experiencing "service degradation."
Microsoft is still investigating the cause of the outage, but Microsoft has previously said it is "not aware of any malicious activity that is causing this incident."
How the Microsoft outage beganThe outage began in the early afternoon on Thursday, impacting Microsoft 365 Enterprise products and causing a massive spike in reported user issues for services like Outlook, per Downdetector.
Microsoft shared updates on X and on its status page, providing hourly reports suggesting they were working towards a resolution. Clearly, though, the fix has been more complicated than they'd hoped. As the issues continued into the night, the company confirmed on X that changes it had made to try and "improve serviceability" were not "taking as expected".
The internet reacted by touching grass, and – given that the outage is ongoing as of Friday morning – the UK is currently doing the same.

Did you know your iPhones calculator has a history feature?
Look, I'm out here stressing about my Spotify Wrapped, and there's another damning trail of user-behavior evidence lurking on my phone: my distinct lack of mathematical ability.
In case you hadn't stared directly at the corner of the Calculator app, you might be surprised to learn there's a History feature. Introduced with iOS 18 in 2024, the feature might have gone under the radar for most.
Perhaps the tool would be useful for those needing to refer to their previous sums for budget reasons or their calculations for deeper research. But as content creators Jess Walton and Sammy Day have proved, the feature is deeply effective for absolutely roasting the people you love.
SEE ALSO: Why Jordan Klepper thinks we're living in "dumb McCarthyism"I checked my Calculator History and found I'd asked technology to do very basic sums for me, and, reader, I'm a busy person. I left math behind in high school, and I'm deeply unmotivated to learn it again on Duolingo. But I can appreciate your complete permission to roast me for asking an app what 20 divided by 5 is. I was in a hurry.
How to find one's Calculator History (for roasting purposes or general interest) Total Time- 1 min

- Calculator app
Step 1: Open Calculator on iPhone.
Step 2: Tap the clock icon in the top left.
Step 3: Behold your brilliance.

John Mulaney and Phoebe Bridgers latest SNL promo contains a brutal roast
We know that Phoebe Bridgers can sing, but it appears she may also have a future in roast battles.
In the SNL promo above the Lost Weekend artist and Primetime star appears alongside this week's host John Mulaney and cast member Ben Marshall, who is convinced that Mulaney's about to start roasting him at any second.
"No seriously, I mostly do observational stuff about municipal arcana," Mulaney explains, before Marshall inexplicably storms off.
"What was his problem?" Mulaney asks Bridgers. The response? "He's just mad he looks like Temu Ron Weasley." Ouch.

Sometimes packing for a weekend trip can be as challenging as a full-on vacation. You need to pack the same toiletries, beauty products, and styling tools, but with much less luggage space. That's where the Dyson Supersonic Travel comes in handy.
It's designed to deliver the same powerful drying performance as its full-sized counterpart, but 32% smaller and 25% lighter than the regular Dyson Supersonic Nural.
But don't be fooled by its compact size. The Supersonic Travel doesn't skimp on features. It still uses Dyson's intelligent heat control technology to help protect hair from extreme heat damage, as well as its Air Multiplier technology, which delivers powerful airflow for faster drying. There are three heat settings and two speed settings to choose from, plus a travel concentrator attachment for more precise styling. It also automatically adapts to different voltages, so you won't have to worry about using it abroad, which is often a concern with Dyson styling tools.
And as an added bonus, this kit comes bundled with Dyson's Omega leave-in conditioning spray. This product helps to detangle, smooth frizz, and protect hair against heat and humidity — the typical vacation hair concerns.
You can find this Dyson deal available on Amazon right now.

UK lawmakers call for porn camming ban
Shortly after bans on certain pornographic content took effect in the UK, some lawmakers are calling for further restrictions.
On Nov. 6, possessing and publishing explicit content depicting strangulation/suffocation, incest (including fake incest), and people under 16, or pretending to be, became criminal offenses.
Days later, on Nov. 10, a cross-party group called the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Commercial Sexual Exploitation published a report called "Only Exploitation," which calls for a step further: criminalizing online platforms profiting from commercial live streaming of pornography and other sex work. (A government spokesperson told The Mirror that it's reviewing the law on prostitution.)
SEE ALSO: Adult film banned in the UK is back onlineThe report claims that "visitors to webcamming platforms are no longer just pornography viewers; they become, in effect, pornography directors." It also contends that camming/livestreaming harms women and girls through sexual coercion and exploitation, security and privacy risks, perpetuates violent attitudes, and normalizes sexual exploitation. The report includes quotes from interviews with APPG and research such as one paper on webcam sex platform competition and another on Romanian women's experiences camming.
"The webcamming trade acts as a magnet for exploiters," Tonia Antoniazzi MP and Tracy Gilbert MP stated in the report's foreword.
The report claims that "visitors to webcamming platforms are no longer just pornography viewers; they become, in effect, pornography directors."However, Dr Carolina Are, digital criminologist at the London School of Economics and Political Science, told Mashable that the report doesn't consider that people can do sex work voluntarily. "It effectively likens sex work to exploitation, which is a known trope in anti-sex work campaigning," she said.
The experiences narrated by participants are horrific and show how these platforms can be used for exploitation, Are continued, adding however that the report as a whole seems to blame the job for exploitation, when exploitation is done by perpetrators. It's enabled by stigmatisation against sex workers that doesn't encourage reporting, and by a tech infrastructure and governance that's for profit, and not for people.
SEE ALSO: The UK is investigating Pornhub. Here's what Pornhub says about it.The report also calls on the UK to outlaw "e-pimping," or individuals who facilitate and profit from another person performing on livestream, and that the country recognize e-pimping as human trafficking. It refers to "OnlyFans managers" as "e-pimps" and cites the BBC's recent investigation into how such managers and "agents" take advantage of models by controlling their earnings, as well as other journalistic reports.
Are said the investigations are reputable, but are used sensationally. Meanwhile, she pointed out that research shows that many people choose to do digital sex work for reasons ranging from personal preference to the fact that much of sex work, including camming, can be done from home (which suits immunocompromised people, people with disabilities, caretakers, or those otherwise not suited for a 9-5).
Digital sex work has also been found to reduce violence against sex workers — "an opportunity this report seems to ignore," Are stated.
"This isn't just about criminalising the imaginations and exploration of consenting adults but also sweeping the rug from under so many sex workers whose livelihoods and safety depend on these sites." - Vex AshleyPorn filmmaker and performer Vex Ashley told Mashable, "We're seeing an unprecedented rollback of our sexual freedoms and lives online. This isn't just about criminalising the imaginations and exploration of consenting adults but also sweeping the rug from under so many sex workers whose livelihoods and safety depend on these sites."
Additionally, the group's report recommends enabling the withdrawal of consent with the distribution of pre-recorded porn, as well as allowing law enforcement to access all content hosted and streamed by porn sites.
"The withdrawal of consent part of the recommendations is important, and so is the recognition of exploitation for those who extort and abuse cammers," Are said. "But giving platforms and the police more surveillance power against an over-policed, over-censored and over-surveilled user base is concerning."
Removing a source of income from marginalized people doesn't protect them, she said, also pointing out that the report doesn't touch on poverty, which is one of the main drivers of sex work. "So this report is removing a source of income for the same women that it claims to protect," she said, "potentially pushing them into more underground work where they may be more exposed to physical violence."

Anthropic Claude down: Why it said it was unable to authenticate code

Daily Shows Desi Lydic reacts to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang allegedly having 3 affairs
The story of (now former) Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang having an affair with an alleged Chinese spy was already dramatic enough, but there are now allegations that he actually had three affairs — and Daily Show host Desi Lydic has thoughts.
"A third affair? Cheating on your mistress you were cheating on your mistress with? This man is a nesting doll of adultery," Lydic says in the clip above. "It's just amazing that just a month ago, Huang was considered the most dignified of all the tech CEOs. Now the news has to bring on Steve Kornacki to break down every district Huang busted a nut in."

Moon phase today: What the Moon will look like on November 13, 2026
The crescent Moon is now more visible in the evening sky, with enough of its surface illuminated to start picking out some lunar features. Keep reading to find out what you might be able to see.
What is today's Moon phase?As of Friday, Nov. 13, the NASA's Daily Moon Guide tracker tells us the Moon is in the Waxing Crescent phase, with 14% of its surface visible.
After nights of darkness and limited visibility, Moon gazing is back tonight. If you don't have any visual aids, you'll be able to see the Mare Crisium and the Mare Fecunditatis. With binoculars or a telescope, you'll also see the Endymion Crater.
When is the next Full Moon?The next Full Moon will take place on November 24.
What are Moon phases?The Moon takes approximately 29.5 days to complete one full cycle. As it orbits Earth, the amount of sunlight reflecting off its surface that we can see changes, creating the different phases. This takes us from the New Moon to the Full Moon and back again, before the cycle begins once more, according to NASA.
The eight phases are:
New Moon - The Moon is between Earth and the sun, so the side we see is dark (in other words, it's invisible to the eye).
Waxing Crescent - A small sliver of light appears on the right side (Northern Hemisphere).
First Quarter - Half of the Moon is lit on the right side. It looks like a half-Moon.
Waxing Gibbous - More than half is lit up, but it's not quite full yet.
Full Moon - The whole face of the Moon is illuminated and fully visible.
Waning Gibbous - The Moon starts losing light on the right side. (Northern Hemisphere)
Third Quarter (or Last Quarter) - Another half-Moon, but now the left side is lit.
Waning Crescent - A thin sliver of light remains on the left side before going dark again.

We can see these are selling fast, so it's clearly a system that's working for many shoppers. Don't be discouraged by the invitation process.
Amazon’s deal is way under TCGplayer’s $110 market price. We rarely see deals this far below market price, so we understand the hype.
The 30th Celebration Elite Trainer Box contains nine 30th Celebration booster packs, an exclusive full-art foil Nidorina promo card, 16 foil Basic Energy cards, 65 custom card sleeves, damage-counter dice, a condition marker, card dividers, a collector’s player guide, and a code card for Pokémon TCG Live.
Shop the Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration ETB for $59.99 at Amazon, while supplies last.
Zelda Switch 2 restock: Live restock updates at Walmart, Target, and Best Buy (Nov. 13)
If your current morning ritual involves violently hitting refresh on a dozen retail tabs, you already know the vibe: finding the Nintendo Switch 2: The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Edition is turning into an Olympic sport.
Between automated bot armies scooping digital drops, surprise order cancellations at Walmart, and inventory vanishing in seconds on Amazon, this custom black-and-gold console feels like a myth. But while digital storefronts look completely barren, stock is actively circulating behind the scenes.
Where to check for Zelda Switch 2 stock right nowBefore getting into the restock details, bookmark these retailer pages to check for surprise drops:
Nintendo Store — Out of stock right now, but you can add it to your wishlist to get pinged the second a restock hits.
Amazon — Dropping tiny batches of consoles randomly throughout the day.
Walmart — Stock exists but only for third-party listings selling at way over market price, so make sure your in-stock email alerts are turned on.
Target — Sold out online, but periodic drops have taken place in-store.
Best Buy — Sold out online, but select stores ran midnight openings on Nov. 5 with walk-in stock.
GameStop — Online orders are off; you will have to walk into a store to find one.
The feeding frenzy is being supercharged by Nintendo’s staggered release calendar. While the custom Zelda 40th Anniversary hardware dropped first on Oct. 29, the flagship game driving demand — The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for Nintendo Switch 2 — arrived on Thursday, Nov. 5.
The remake rebuilds the 1998 classic from the ground up with modernized controls, a fully orchestrated soundtrack, reworked dungeon puzzles, and expanded Hyrule environments. Since the $520 console doesn’t include the game, everyone is rushing to lock down a system before launch day.

The package includes the special-edition Switch 2 system sporting a custom black-and-gold finish, themed Joy-Con 2 controllers, and a matching dock decorated with the gold Triforce emblem. It retains the platform's signature flexibility, letting you switch between TV, Tabletop, and Handheld modes whenever you want.
Inside the themed chassis, you get 256GB of built-in storage (expandable with microSD Express cards), a vivid display in handheld mode, faster load times, and support for up to 4K resolution on compatible TVs when the console sits in the dock.
The magnetic Joy-Con 2 controllers add mouse-style tracking in supported games, while the new GameChat hub lets you voice chat and share your screen directly as you play. It also plays your older Switch games and supports standard multiplayer options.
How can you improve your chances of finding stock?Landing limited-edition Nintendo hardware takes a little prep work, but these battle-tested habits will give you a real edge over the bots:
Save your checkout details everywhere — Log in to Target, Best Buy, Walmart, and the Nintendo Store to save your shipping address and default card. Stopping to type a card number or billing zip code during a live drop is how you lose an order.
Hands off the refresh button in Best Buy's queue — When an online drop goes live, Best Buy puts shoppers into a randomized waiting line to filter out scrapers. Touching the reload button resets your spot and boots you straight to the back.
Watch for Walmart+ early-access paywalls — Walmart frequently locks headline console drops behind paid Walmart+ subscriptions for the first 30 to 60 minutes. If you have a membership, keep that tab signed in; if not, wait for the general public window to unlock.
Dodge third-party sellers — Double-check the seller before buying. Marketplace scalpers frequently list units for jacked-up prices; make sure it says "Sold and shipped by [Retailer]" at the standard price.
Skip the web wars and head to physical stores — Online checkout bots grab website stock in under 15 seconds. Showing up in person is easily your most reliable path to securing one without paying scalper markups.
Most likely, yes.
Stores like Walmart, Amazon, and Best Buy often hold onto popular gaming hardware to use as headline deals during Black Friday and Cyber Monday week.
With that said, Black Friday restocks are usually the hardest ones to catch. You will be fighting website crashes, gift shoppers, and automated bots all at once. If you can grab a console whenever stock appears, take it. Think of Black Friday as a backup plan, not your main bet.
Console hunting sucks right now, period. But between the surprise micro-drops and physical store restocks, you still have real shots at retail price — just be ready to move the second that stock goes live.
