Do they even still issue them? Like prior to ~2007 Hotmail was THE free email to have before Google, like, did it better. But aren't they issuing outlook.com addresses now?
Dunno... the last time I dealt with it was someone trying to reach my mom and couldn't.
I asked them to verify the address...
@hotmale.com
Oh, well there's your problem!
Or is it?
-yup, it is :-/
When MS ditched the Hotmail name, they went to their "Live" branding. I have an account with that domain, in addition to my old Hotmail account.
I wish I held onto my old Yahoo account, but it got so full of spam that it became completely unusable; so I deleted it 🫤
Yahoo still exists. Somehow. Apparently the brand is extremely popular in Japan, Yahoo Japan is on the list of top 50 visited websites. IIRC the brand was bought by Verizon, and I have no idea if Yahoo even offers web search anymore.
Apparently Yahoo uses Microsoft Bing for their search backend.
How the hell are we down to two meaningful web engines and two meaningful search engines?
There's Firefox and everyone else, and everyone else uses Chrome.
There's Google and everyone else, and everyone else uses Bing.
