There’s this one software we have to use for our emergency response and it’s buggy as hell. Crashes on opening on phones, tablets, even the PC application. The browser version only works marginally better but is slow and can take minutes to pull or submit single queries.

The original RFC for SMTP is forty-six years old.

There are zero valid reasons to use micro$lop for a space mission. 98% of Lemmy users could have built a more robust solution at 11,000,000th the cost.

Happens all the time on my work computer. It’s amazing that this hasn’t happened earlier, makes me think they didn’t really practice this thing much.

It’s fucking email. This problem was solved in 1988. Why do you need Outlook to begin with?

I wonder if they’re trying to use outlook. I think Microsoft are replacing it with outlook so might have some bugs. Unless they’re using outlook of course, that might be the issue. They should try outlook, that’s a much better and lighter experience.

I spent weeks on the phone with clients asking them to enter their email password at a particular step. Every one of them would say they didn’t know it or forgot it, which would then prompt me to go through the password reset process.

Then one client said, “You mean my outlook password?”

For each client after, I said to enter their Outlook password, and everyone knew it from then on.

Ah man, it would be hilarious if it’s just copilot not being able to connect to ms and it getting stuck there.

For a tool that’s designed to do exactly one thing, it’s astonishingly bad at it.
