    @Azure No one gives a **** about your AI nonsense.

  • saivj9 SaiVJ (@saivj9) reported

    @Azure We need help again, please DM me. We have Azure sponsorship for our non-profit organization, it recently got renewed. Yet we keep getting charged, we can't open support case, the payment method shows we have sufficient balance, and sometimes the payment method vanishes.

  • bobbuitech Bob Bui (@bobbuitech) reported

    @Azure Hope it's really faster. It was very slow in compare to other image generation models

  • manojald1972 Manoj Kumar (@manojald1972) reported

    Any off-screen glance during 104 exam was unintentional while thinking. No phone, no 2nd screen, no external help, no one else present. I followed all rules sincerely and request for a free retake @PearsonVUE @Azure @Microsoft Candidate ID:MS0996108410 Reg. ID:524205080

  • varagrawal Varun Agrawal (@varagrawal) reported

    Trying to setup a basic webapp on @Azure and OMG, so many hidden steps and gotchas which the documentation doesn't address. Every time I think I've figured it out, I need to go back and enable some other service or extension. This is the worst developer experience!

  • porousmushroom Unggoy (@porousmushroom) reported

    @Azure your services are so **** I can't even sign up and pay for the service I want. Great job

  • JohnStraumann John Straumann (@JohnStraumann) reported

    worklog: 1. Fixed the ai slop colleague pushed while migrating blob storage from @azure to @cloudflare r2. 2. Configured the ports on vm to restore the broken dev envs. 3. sat on call with a colleague to help correct the cloudflare dns settings and setup proper database conns.

  • RobertHarju Robert Harju (@RobertHarju) reported

    Hey, @microsoft / @azure, is it ethical to charge a customer for a service they can no longer access? After they've contacted customer service for A YEAR, in an attempt to close it out. I'M TIRED OF PAYING $500 / month for something I don't have access to.

  • yamameta Yama (@yamameta) reported

    @Azure More bloatware and AI shoved down our throats

  • humbertus1980 humberto (@humbertus1980) reported

    Is anyone successfully using Microsoft Global Secure Access with Windows Authentication to SQL Server on Azure VMs? Getting 'target principal name incorrect' errors despite correct SPNs and port 88 routing. Kerberos tickets fail through GSA tunnel?... @Azure

    Hey @Azure i need your help im trying to find out what my playfab password is but my friend said it was my Microsoft password but thats not it

  • SamB126809 Sam B (@SamB126809) reported

    After struggling to get a simple static website up on @Azure and constantly running into errors and bad UX, I decided to give @awscloud a try and was up and running in 20 minutes. A scattered mess vs simplicity and just works. Thanks @awscloud !

  • sheldonrampton mas.to/@sheldonrampton @sheldonrampton.bsky.social (@sheldonrampton) reported

    @Azure It would take a team of a million monkeys working for a million years to produce a user interface as bad as Azure.

  • bzbetty Betty 🐦 (@bzbetty) reported

    actually turns out i'm wrong! this service does exactly what I needed. Was a bit of effort to setup (rough edges being a new service) but is going to be epic going forward @Azure

  • manasMudbari Manas Mudbari (@manasMudbari) reported

    Looked at our @Azure bill and found out constantly feeding time-series data in Azure Open AI to build Turbostream was a bad idea. Glad we have a sorcerer, @chandangbhagat. He whipped up Time Series Lean Notation (TSLN) and reduced the token size by 80%. Not even TOON was comparable on how much input token we saved with TSLN on time series data.

  • bpizarrogr Bernardo Pizarro (@bpizarrogr) reported

    @MicrosoftHelps @Azure @AzureSupport Is there a massive failure with Microsoft 365 Business MFA? Or with password reset service? After 7 days waiting for an open case call-back or email, and 5.5 hours waiting on the phone today, still no response!! -- Help!!

  • JohnStraumann John Straumann (@JohnStraumann) reported

    Accelerate 311 support with Azure OpenAI & AI Search to cut response times by 30%. Build chatbots, secure data, and track KPIs for better citizen service. Try a 30-day pilot! @Azure

    @Azure Pure **** service, can barely handle MSFS24.

  • OrganicGPT Behnam (@OrganicGPT) reported

    I really wanted to like @Azure but seriously WTF? "web search" tool is not available to the Responses API models on Azure! @OpenAIDevs fix this if you can

  • andrew_herrick Andrew Herrick (@andrew_herrick) reported

    vibe coded this morning some custom @PulumiCorp code for spinning up / tearing down @Azure app services and an associated App Insights deployment. then pull the publish profile on the fly for deploying repos easily with GH Actions. pretty slick!

  • xcoderteam Herman Tho Tan (@xcoderteam) reported

    I notice @Microsoft @Azure Customer is worse, my customer ticket open since Sep 4, 2025. Already more than 3 months.

  • mindmodel mindmodel (@mindmodel) reported

    @Azure In AI Foundry, many of the newer models require registration before use, which may take weeks or months and may never be granted. Can't plan for their use. Please have a single button to click which hides these from my AI Foundry account, otherwise I have to attempt deploy
