Artemis II Astronauts Have ‘Two Microsoft Outlooks’ and Neither Work
(www.404media.co)
As expected
(I only read the title) So that is within the allowed tolerance of working parameters bcs they never performed better during testing either.
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.
The fact that the right click menu is now a submenu of the right click menu drive me mad.
I scanned through the next several minutes after this moment and didn’t hear them address the duplicate Outlooks again. So, I emailed the Artemis II communications team, who is definitely not busy today I’m sure, and asked: Can the astronauts check their email yet?
I’ll update if I hear back.
In fairness I don't think Microsoft designed them to work in space. Maybe it's their internet connection?
Houston offered to remote into the computer to fix lt
Gonna be some serious ping times.
They're still in low earth orbit so not really
Big deal, so do i and mine are also buggy messes
