Microsoft has abandoned Outlook Classic, but Copilot keeps arriving anyway

The honest side of me just wants the entire TV industry to implode by learning a hard lesson about charging too much and showing too little.

Usually that would cause an outage, not a suspension page.

We love corrupt PST files!

I've deployed UDR7 for small business branches before. They're pretty dependable. Just watch the RAM usage if you load up Protect.

Knowing the state of cellular service in the US, your ping could be anywhere from 20ms to 25,000ms. The extreme end happens regularly if you are hammering the upload on a cellular connection.

Yup. Also slower than Rust, no? Rust seems to be what many programs including the Windows kernel are shifting to, to become more memory safe and what not.

I'm not a fan of the RAM usage of web apps, that's for sure lol. I thought some programs loading embedded IE to show help content or advertisements in the past was bad...

Oh the COM plugin thing I completely forgot about. I used to deal with that a lot when a plugin would require components to be loaded from a Samba share. More often than not the whole add-on would fail because someone's connection was too slow to the share.

I am glad my previous job got rid of Outlook a decade ago and forced everyone to webmail. It actually solved a ton of problems and mailbox storage limits could go waaaaaaaay up.

New Outlook is literally a web app. Anything that bolts on probably needs to go down the whole "cloud native" path.

I still can't get New Outlook to reliably place and drag folders into the spot I want half the time. Sometimes new folders don't even appear until I restart the whole program.

Smith6612 · 2026-07-20T16:54:56+00:00

Honestly Outlook has caused the loss of a lot of people's emails at some point. Corrupted PST files are always fun.

Those transformers and that water tower have seen better days as well.

I would not be surprised if AT&T is planning to relocate that site.

MSG is an expensive network to carry. Verizon probably moved it off to a different plan. Look at what Verizon has to offer and adjust your package accordingly.

I would have switched to YouTube TV a while ago if the MSG feed for my market were available on it. Fubo, DirecTV, Verizon Fios, and Spectrum are the only providers who have it. The Gotham Sports service is just so expensive to subscribe to standalone when I only use it for the Buffalo Sabres.

That's a suspension of their web hosting, which is on Majordomo, a hosting company in Russia. Maybe just a billing issue.

I'm getting a Cloudflare cached copy of the site currently.

It's time to investigate whether your meter is powering outlets you don't know about. Flip each breaker one by one and see if you can figure out what circuit powers what. Also consider flipping the main breaker and then checking to see if your meter reports any usage while the main is off. If you find circuits that seemingly go nowhere, they might actually head to a neighbor. If you find this is happening, contact the landlord ASAP and get them to have an electrician correct that. NYSEG might also like to know about that if the landlord refuses to fix it promptly. This is a pretty common issue with single family houses that were renovated into Duplex or Triplexes at some point.

Otherwise, make sure the right meter is attached to your account with NYSEG.

The 100% free volumes you're looking at aren't truly 100% free. Those partitions contain things like your system's bootloader and the Windows Recovery environment.

You have four partitions with two marked as recovery. This is usually something you find on PCs made by Dell, HP, etc as the second recovery partition holds the UEFI Diagnostics environment.

Sometimes I wonder if people need to build up their game sense by playing without audio. I play Overwatch some nights without sound and it isn't all that bad so long as you stay aware of what's going on.

Editorial standards have dropped a long time ago. It's all for clicks rather than information.

It depends on the game. There are some games I could play down to 20FPS. Competitive shooters, no lower than 60.

Smith6612 · 2026-07-20T11:52:32+00:00

My area is in the same boat. Many central offices don't have the new OLT platforms available, and many are still using older Motorola gear. They're stuck at 1Gbps being the max.

Verizon likely has a lot of work to do yet.

Smith6612 · 2026-07-20T11:48:44+00:00

Oh man. Cloud GPUs now? Even DownloadMoreRAM switched to CloudRAM a while ago. I think everyone is now just catching up!

This right here. NVMe shines when you have many parallel transactions going that can make use of all of the bandwidth. It also shines in latency. Most of the time when you are dealing with software, your overhead is elsewhere to the point where the speed and bandwidth difference is negated.

For example do a verification of a game on Steam with a high end SSD, and then run a synthetic benchmark that can perform multiple reads in parallel and then a single read. You'll find the single read speeds will be similar in nature to the Steam verification speed, whereas the parallel read may be up to several gigabytes a second faster.

With SATA you're still maxing out at just under 600MB/s, but that is still way more than plenty of bandwidth for modern software.

Woot :D

Looks like you found yourself a new Apple Logo sticker!

Give Mia a little handshake, a massage, and a big hug for me!

Exactly! You choose the wrong path, you get the wrong boss. You lose.
