But we need a container to run a Docker with several VMs inside so we can run byte code that runs on a web browser that gets compiled back to C++ under a terabyte of abstraction layers that need about 10000 dependencies that require a TPM, 64GB of DDR5-7200 RAM, about 24 cores at the minimum, two or three GPUs, a 10Gbps connection to the cloud, absolutely requires the latest mouse driver in Windows 11, but yet somehow still manages to open on the wrong desktop because the UI crammed together three hamburger menus, an unintuitive context-sensitive icon, a kebab menu at the same place where the cookies settings, adblocker complaint, and “you need to update” requesters pop up. And the mouse pointer is too small on a 4K screen so you have to wiggle the mouse to see it but at that very instant for some reason the mouse’s battery dies.

Search in Outlook always was a dumpster fire. But the search in the latest version of Outlook has failed to clear even the already low expectations I had for it. I now save a copy of any email I think I’ll need to reference in the future in a folder on my PC.

It takes about 5 seconds to show the drives in Explorer for some reason, like its an Amstrad PC1540.

I have to use Outlook for work. It’s difficult or impossible to find the features that were actually useful in the new Outlook. I still use old Outlook because at least it actually works.

That sucks but this is clearly a bug, not a performance issue.
