with all that money, they could have selected or designed a power efficient arm soc and installed a custom linux that was power efficient and built for stability. It would have been a net positive for everyone in FOSS. Instead they slapped some winshit together and told the astronauts to deal with it... at least they aren't manually shitting into bags for this mission.

I love the idea that even on a mission to the moon the crew still needs to allocate a portion of their time to click through cookie consent banners, non skippable ads and fighting with windows update!

They do not have to RDP. Powershell remoting or SSH are way faster way to examine the system.
guys former NASA Mission Control Web Tool Team and OCA here (Orbital Comms Adapter office which was a backroom position) Crews have been using thinkpad laptops (personal laptops since the 2005) on the ISS and Shuttle. Artemis is likely an extension of this Laptops go through a long space hardening and verification process. Windows and Outlook is the result of that We used to do "Mail Syncs" which taking the outlook f…
I don't understand the title. It doesn't seem like they are trying to figure out why two copies of outlook are installed, they're trying to figure out why neither is giving them access to their email.
Moon landing 1969: 4 KB RAM for the guidance computer is enough. Moon landing 2026: Two instances of MS Outlook sort of started themselves on the guidance computer and we have no idea why.
why is a mail client needed in an onboard space computer at all ?

They have a diverse range of devices, including iPhones
It'd be fun to be a telco tech and realize that you've an attempted connection from an iPhone 50 miles up and receding fast.
