NASA pays $100M for Microsoft 365 licensing across the agency. They standardized every system on Microsoft. They put Microsoft Surfaces on the Orion spacecraft as the crew's personal computing devices. And the first technical crisis of humanity's return to the Moon was Reid Wiseman radioing Houston to say he has two Microsoft Outlooks and neither one works. Mission Control's response? "With your go, we can remote in and take a look." The same exact workflow your company's IT helpdesk uses when you submit a ticket on a Monday morning. Except the user is traveling at 4,275 mph, 30,000 miles from Earth, and the Wi-Fi situation is considerably worse. This spacecraft survived hydrogen leaks, helium leaks, a faulty heat shield, and a broken toilet. Outlook broke anyway. The toilet actually got fixed faster. The real story here is that Microsoft has achieved something no other software company in history can claim: a support ticket from lunar transit. Their enterprise sales team should frame this. "Battle-tested in space" is a positioning statement most B2B companies would mass murder for, and Microsoft accidentally earned it because Outlook crashes everywhere, including orbit. Outlook remains the only software in human history that performs identically whether you're in a cubicle in Redmond or aboard a spacecraft bound for the Moon. Universally, reliably broken. And we keep buying it anyway.

@LincsPilot @EE STAC sent to 75075 in that case should have done the job. Getting Starlink is exciting though 🤩

@molimo3 @EE Unfortunately a no go because it’s a SIM that I use for broadband. I live rural and copper broadband is too slow, so 4G served me well. Ordered Starlink now. I’ve cancelled now, but they still owe me for an hour of my time

@EE it took a mere five minutes to sign up for a contract online, so why should I have to sit and listen to your hold music for 25+ minutes to cancel the same contract? Please provide me with an explanation and an email address to send an invoice to. Many thanks

@kellsley What I’ve come here to find out too

@Nigel_Farage @grok That’s a shame. You used to be free?

@Nigel_Farage @grok what’s this all about?

See you next week! 😉

@NorfolkPolice 😮

Over 50,000 faces being scanned during the first live facial recognition deployment in Norwich on Sunday. There were two positive matches on the day and a third person was arrested for an upskirting offence. We will be deploying the technology in the city again on 28 March.

@BBCCambs I thought Norwich was bad. But having visited Cambridge last Sunday, I’m shocked. And for a cyclist city, Cherry Hinton Road is a accident waiting to happen!

Finally... no more potholes on the road between south Cambridge and Great Shelford. 🥳 bbc.in/4sdRajg

What a night!!!!!! Clement forever!!!!!!! 💃💃💚💛

@NorwichMatt @Urcrazytoo1000 @nicolelampert @AllisonPearson 👏🏻

@molimo3 @Urcrazytoo1000 @nicolelampert @AllisonPearson No one thinks it was the children. Hopefully the police and the school’s own investigation will find out.

This is where we are in our school system: ‘The students from Britain’s largest Jewish school were playing in a quarter-final of an Under-15s national football tournament when they were abused by spectators allegedly shouting “Zionists, dirty Zionists”, “Go back to the gas chambers” and “dirty Jew”. One mixed-race boy was alleged to have been called a “N-word Jew”.’ Full story below 👇🏼

@SammieDI80 @Ryanair Classic EDP bait headline.

I’m all for a joke and a bit of banter, but that is crossing a line @Ryanair

@NorwichMatt @Urcrazytoo1000 @nicolelampert @AllisonPearson No I wasn’t. An email was sent out to inform.

@Urcrazytoo1000 @molimo3 @nicolelampert @AllisonPearson Maybe Alex was at the match ?

@Urcrazytoo1000 @NorwichMatt @nicolelampert @AllisonPearson You are right, no mention of parents. But to be clear it wasn’t the children on the pitch where the complaint stems from, it was the spectators. And even then that might not be parents either.

@molimo3 @NorwichMatt @nicolelampert @AllisonPearson What are you blubbering about? He didn't mention parents.

@Tapirtears @nicolelampert @karenievers @deanofnorwich Is this click bate minus the ads?

@nicolelampert @karenievers @deanofnorwich are you aware of this? We visit Norwich frequently from Suffolk, but now not so sure it’s going to be so safe for my partner - thinking of what happened to Jews in Norwich in the past.

@NorwichMatt @nicolelampert @AllisonPearson I’m in the same radius and my child does go there. Top marks all round. Your assumption that all parents would make or even think the remarks made makes you the embarrassment to the fine city. 💛

@nicolelampert @AllisonPearson This school is 4 miles from where I live and if my children didnt go to private school they would go here. I am very glad they don’t. I’m appalled and embarrassed that this has happened in my city.

You may remember the footage of this young supporter from our last game at Molineux… Yesterday, Wolfie and the @Young_Wolves team surprised Rory in the stands with a fresh box of chicken nuggets.

Suella Braverman: The Left did Brexit. Reform UK changed its name from the Brexit Party, and now blaming Brexit on the left. INCREDIBLE! 🤣
