The object of a system of authority is order, not justice. Justice matters only after injustice sufficiently compromises order.

    Sure but as @ApeNo1@lemmy.world noted MS is ending support for EWS in M365 in less than 12 months! So it took them 18 years to release something that still doesn’t fully work (no Calendaring support, WTF?) and won’t even be usable by this time next year.

    🤦

    If it only supported outdated Exchange servers that would be one thing

    The only Exchange server that ISN’T outdated at this point is the 4 month old Exchange Server Subscription Edition. All other versions are now EoL and have no support. So unless you have a very particular need to keep your EX environment On-Prem then you may as well migrate to EXO.

    If you are already using EXO then Thunderbird’s new EWS support will stop working next October.

    I have a Win11 PC sitting here with a Core i5 8500t, 16G of RAM, 1T M.2 SATA NVME, attached to a three position KVM. Hooked to that KVM are three monitors (2 x DP, 1 x HDMI), wireless keyboard & mouse, Creative USB T60 speakers, and a USB WebCam (logi 970e). Since it’s a PC I use for work it’s Entra joined and InTune managed running Managed AV, MDR, and a DNS Filtering Agent. Oh, and the drive is encrypted with BitLocker.

    So I basically have as much USB attached crap as you do, sans hard drives, and it’s going through the USB Hub that’s built into my KVM.

    Time from power off to usable desktop for that machine is under 40 seconds.

    Your external hard drives are a likely culprit. I’d guess that they are either on an older interface or your PC is set to do a full AV scan of attached drives at boot.

    Don’t get it twisted, Microsoft and their products piss me off on a daily basis. I’m not defending them.
