I still don’t know why it triggers me so much when managers talk about “(Gen)AI” with such fascination. Maybe because I get the feeling that they tell themselves that IT problems will magically disappear?

(more…)Microsoft / Outlook.com have silently removed connected accounts from outlook.com on July 1st, 2024.
TL;DR: Connected accounts are gone and cannot be fixed 🙁
