No way in hell I would want to go to the moon nowadays. Technology these days is like having two left feet. Especially if AI is involved.
Why the fuck would you use windows in mission critical spaces.
Uhhh so they can see where they are
To have a nice Outlook on things
So they can rest while the Copilot handles stuff for a while
All of this will surely give them the Edge they need for this mission.
They’re going farther from earth than any human ever has. That makes them Explorers
I just hope they don’t Paint themselves into a corner
Luckly space has no corners, it’s not an Office
You wouldn’t and they didn’t.
The article has just failed to inform the readers (the few that got past the headline), that this was on his personal Surface Tablet and not on anything associated with the mission.
If it’s on the ship, it’s associated with the mission. Windows has a very high habit of barfing so over itself, as is evidenced by this article. It’s bonkers to me that they chose to use Windows for anything at all.
I don’t think the phone in my pocket is “associated with my job” when I’m working, just because it’s in the same location. Do you?
False equivalency.
If you were going on a 10 day hike to the most remote location on earth, would you bring the most unreliable device you could find, or something you can count on?
You don’t understand. Their personal device can be trashed immediately without any drawbacks to the mission.
If I go on a 10 day hike to the most remote location on Earth, and bring my yoyo to have some fun with, I really don’t care if it breaks on my hike, and the hike is not affected except for my not having fun with my yoyo.
The question is do they have a Copilot?
I hope not. If they ask it to summarize the email that Houston sends them, it could be a disaster.
I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that.
Heresy, using an actual AGI example. Also, HAL did nothing wrong. It’s always the humans that screw things up. (2010 for reference)
Unpopular opinion - both SkyNet and the AI in The Matrix were also not in the wrong. I think The Animatrix documents why that’s true in that particular franchise. Again, it’s the humans. Hell, maybe even Ultron had a few good points, he just went insane in the first microseconds trying to rationalize it all.
Dave is the human. HAL is the computer. Dave does nothing wrong either; it’s the military that gave secret conflicting orders to HAL that caused the problems.
You’re right on all accounts, and I have NO idea why I put Dave. Lol. I blame AI. Oh wait, I can’t, given my previous post.
Did you cry as Dave pulls out HAL’s brains? daisey daisey …
Thanos was right in theory, incorrect in execution.
Thanos was wrong in theory.
Halving all life doesn’t change the life to resources ratio. Even halving all sapient life doesn’t solve anything when populations will just continue to grow.
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.
Outlook is just impressively bad. When I came back to work from the weekend, there was this attack on one of our sites that sent out a notification for each attack it detected and I came to work to 20K new emails.
Ever tried, to delete 20K emails from outlook? Its amazingly stupid! First of all, you can’t just bulk select. Search won’t help either (Search half the time returns nothing anyways) so you have to kind of select one, scroll 2387942 times down until you are a few thousand mails in. Now, this is important: Click correctly! If you click wrong, all the mails you’ve selected so far will be unselected again and you have to start over. Press shift, and select a mail. Now you have a few thousand mails selected. Press delete.
And now go for a coffee because you won’t be able to use your outlook for the next 30 minutes. You can’t open mails, can’t refresh the page (you’ll get a crash page if you do). Half an hour later, outlook reloads again, and you’ll see that it successfully deleted about 80% of your selected mails. The other 20%, I hear you ask? Yeah, those were just not deleted. Why? I don’t know? Why are you asking me?!
I would constantly see “There are 6K mails” and then the table where the mail headers are shown shows 7 mails… Load more? Nope, nothing, need to reload the page.
Try copy paste! Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccckkk if they don’t crash, they will just piss you off… Now pasting gets you this weirdo paste box. You can’t type anymore, there is this stupid paste thing floating, and you need to press ESC to continue.
Half the time I’m writing an email and the text formatting options just disappear, and I can’t do any formatting anymore. I can fix this, I just have to get out, to go drafts, reopen the mail I was writing because fuck you, that’s why.
How about outlook365? Its awesome and amazing! I write text and I can see bits and pieces of the text I wrote previously just disappear, like its high on Alzheimer. You literally just see parts of paragraphs disappear while you are writing below. Best part of this? Then you change your useragent to say that you’re not on linux, but on windows, and the problem magically resolves itself!
Microsoft is the worst software company ever
xD
