What Are You Doing Right Now

So clean "install" of Ubuntu mate. Plug in network cable open terminal and issue the following command.
apt-get update
that runs fine , then run
apt-get upgrade
this gets to around 65% ish and this pops up

If I reboot the display goes all funny and if I try apt-get update/upgrade I just get errors.

Going to have a little play tomorrow see if I can look over the logs see where and what's fails.

OWA has completely stopped working for me. For a day, I can only read O365 emails via my phone.

did your OWA account (O365) ever get fixed?

Nope, I think it is a technical thing, not likely account related.

It's a day of people saying that they want to use Storage Spaces Direct. A sudden rash of it... a week after MS announced it wasn't production ready and discontinued it.

It's not discontinued. It's just not in the current build because they are workign on it and not ready for current releases of Server2016.

But you can still use it on the previous release just fine.

"Not in the current release" and "discontinued" are literally the same thing here. What else would discontinued mean?

You can always use discontinued products from old versions. You can still deploy CentOS 2, it's just discontinued.

To me, discontinued implies "not coming back or returning". This is not the case.

That's not what it means or implies. Right now the status is discontinued, that's what is "is". If, in the future, it releases again, it will cease to be discontinued. Until such time, it is most certainly discontinued currently.

We also don't know that it is coming back. They say that, but they claim a lot of things are coming that never do. Not that this affects the fact that it is currently discontinued, but even the future of it is a big unknown.

@scottalanmiller Yes, since yesterday morning, now is all down.
