In space, no one can hear you call tech support.
Microsoft has always been questionable at best but ever since Steve Ballmer left, is been incredibly shit.
Wtf do they need email for in space
“NASA says they’ll remotely connect to the computer to see what the problem is.”
'Hello, this is your NASA certified Microsoft certied tech support, you need to send us gift cards to unblock your computer"
“WHY HAVE YOU REDEEM”
Kitboga is the best
DOOOOO NOOOT REDEEEM!
“The soul called Mr Barrister John Warosa” intensifies
You would think that the absolute basic, minimum requirement for taking something on a space mission is that it complies with open standards.
If you have standards compliant programs, it’s easy to set up a back-up client in case the primary doesn’t work. If your email is “Outlook” and you are tied to the outlook server and something breaks, there’s your single point of failure. Sucks to be you.
What if the problem is server side
What if the problem is DNS
That’s impossible. They don’t even have that in space.
I looked it up and apparently: is it DNS
There I go getting the Narrator: It was treatment!
Haha yeah, I use outlook at work as a webpage in LibreWolf in Linux, so even with open stuff on my local hardware I can definitely still have outlook issues.
It’s easy to set up high-availability for servers running on the ground.
Easy?
And all problems are solved by high availability?
Imagine being literally off the planet and still be expected to check your work email.
I mean if you are on a work trip it is pretty standard
Gotta submit their timesheets.
Wednesday: 24 hours space travel
Thursday: 24 hours space travelAhh, gotta remember to submit the fuel receipts
Why in the everliving fuck would NASA put ANYTHING Microsoft into a spacecraft?
Because Gates fucked Children with the President on Epstein’s Island…
The entire craft is built by giant US legacy corporations. Boeing, Lockheed, Northrop, etc. Microsoft is just one more in the pile.
Your laptop is built by "legacy corporations, " but if you put Linux onit, it works better.
It’s almost as if this bullshit project was just pork barrelling for overpriced contracts.
You would think that Microsoft would be like this is going to space. Let’s pull out all the stops. But no, it’s the same corporate crap!
They are going to space to seed the cloud
And of all things, an email client?? What the fuck are they doing?
Porn.
Its a personal device
Personal devices running Outlook should be rapidly deorbited
Space Force TV show continues to fulfill the prophecy.
If only there were low-bandwidth, straight-forward, well tested email clients…
low-bandwidth,
They’re on a 600Mbps connection, bandwidth isn’t the problem.
Bro what do you mean the moon mission has faster internet than me? 😭
Probably also a different price range.
Who the f permits taking unverified software on a space trip?
Also known as “nominal outlook performance”
It seems you have problems with running your multi billion dollar rocket. Would you like me to help you with that?
100 billion dollar budget.
The rare occasion when “It’s not rocket science!” means it’s harder.
Have they tried unplugging it and plugging it back in?
