The worlds reliance on Microsoft & other tech giants is causing grief again.
Microsoft’s Bing had some problems earlier today, with results not loading. that seems to be working again, but this outage also appears to still be affecting Bing’s application programming interface (API), which means that other services that rely on Bing aren’t working properly.
DuckDuckGo and Ecosia, two alternative search engines that rely on Bing’s search results, aren’t returning any search results right now. Microsoft Copilot isn’t loading either. ChatGPT Plus subscribers, who have the ability to perform web searches, also get an error when they try to search for something too.
I’m also wondering if DPD’s tracking uses Bing, as that’s up the shoot too.
Oh dear….
