Has been a long-known problem, if you open a window with microsoft, it crashes

The question is do they have a Copilot?

Why the fuck would you use windows in mission critical spaces.

Why do they have any Microslop software?

The article leaves out that this was on Commander Wiseman's personal tablet, a Microsoft Surface Pro and not any device associated with the mission.

He sought tech support for internet connectivity issues on a PCD (personal computing device), which is a Microsoft Surface Pro.

The 'Two Microsoft Outlooks' was a description of the issue he was having. The headline is implying that there are two machines running Outlook that don't work.

NASA detected that the PCD was actually on a network. It asked the commander for permission to connect to the tablet remotely so it could look into a problem with the Optimus software. "I also see that I have two Microsoft Outlooks and neither one of those are working," Wiseman responded, per a clip shared by Niki Grayson on Bluesky. "If you wanna remote in and check Optimus and those two Outlooks, that would be awesome."

Every time Microsoft does an update, they reduce functionality. Basic functions like print, search and file storage get moved into sub-sub-sub menus. The point of this is to make room on the main screen for ads. Screwing up your work flow gives you more time to look at them. This is intentional.

No way in hell I would want to go to the moon nowadays. Technology these days is like having two left feet. Especially if AI is involved.

The spacecraft that took astronauts to the Moon used the Apollo Guidance Computer, developed by MIT's Instrumentation Laboratory.

Clock speed: Approximately 1 MHz

'you have two outlooks inside you, neither work and it will grow'

Haha! Space travel, meet rolling releases.

Should have used women with pencils again instead of MicroSlop.

*Microslop Outlook

Not the best... outlook.

Product working as designed.

They didn't pay their subscription fees, obviously. Duh.

I also have one! And it doesn't work.

As expected

I’m guessing it’s one of two things:

It could be two shortcuts to outlook. One might actually be Outlook classic.

Another issue could be a dreaded dual mailbox scenario that occurs when an hybrid on-premises user account gets a mailbox in exchange online before their on-prem account has its attributes created. It’s annoying to deal with and fix.

I’m curious as to what the issue is and how they fix it. I would assume that latency and bandwidth are a big problem and they have WAN acceleration going on, which can cause some apps to bug out.

I actually helped Riberbed identify and fix a bug with Exchange optimization that took 4 years to fix. The tech I worked with for about a year when we identified it called me up 3 years later to tell me himself that they fixed and closed it.
