    Apollo 11 made it to the moon and back with the computer power of a Dollar Tree hand held calculator, and over 50 years later, they can’t get a computer that’s a million times more powerful to work.

    We are watching De-evolution in real time.

      50 years ago, they had to take their photographs with film. 50 years ago, they had no means of live-streaming the entire flight. 50 years ago, email didn’t exist at all, so of course it didn’t break.

      But yeah Microslop sucks absolute ass and it’s poetic justice that Outlook would fuck up like this.

      Nah, the computers are evolving to become more resistant to meat sack interference.
