A late April fool‘s hopefully… 😱
Have you ever used outlook?
It's the worst, and no, it never works. The company I work at forces outlook on us, still, and there are some 5% of users that can't mail each other. Why? Don't know! I send a mail to a person, outlook logs say it was delivered, it's nowhere to be found. What to do? According to the company, just live with it and creat new accounts from scratch when it happens
We could ask support as the company pays hefty windows license fees but even there it's tucked up as M$ refuses to help directly it needs to go through some support company that wants that we pay them even more no ey separately for the long list of microbugs.
I find it almost hilarious, if I didn't have to work with it myself.
Giving astronauts outlook accounts is just mean
Recently started a new job and for the first time I'm fully emersed in the Microslop software suite. Somehow Outlook and Teams haven't failed critically but I still hate them. Someone emails me a PDF, so I open it. No, I don't want to open PDFs inside Outlook, so I download the PDF. Where is it? Is it on my Onedrive or does the file actually exist on my computer? Does anything exist on my computer?
In my personal life I haven't touched Windows in about 4 months now and I don't want to go back, although I'll probably be booting up Windows 10 because I just downloaded the pre-alpha version of Kitten Space Agency. Planning to try Bazzite soon, we'll see how that goes, I've heard good things.
Unfortunately yes, can‘t get around it in company for 25 years now and started with 97 so I think I know what I am talking about. Can‘t avoid it in many enterprises though so I feel what you‘ve posted 💯! 😉
My general worries are the quality of Microslops current software quality and the dependency towards it when flying to space while every week there is another thing not working after updates were made. Wouldn‘t like to base my mail communication towards this „stability“ when leaving the planet though. 😐
I swear to God that Word exists to make us feel better about Outlook.
Imagine if microslop used their so called ai bullshit to make outlook search actually fucking work.
It was a personal device apparently.
This is a common issue. I've only ever solved it by deleting registry keys.
Things you don‘t want in critical situations or before leaving this planet on a spaceahip - deleting registry keys 😜 !
