Hi guys,

I just found something strange and for some people it might be cool so I wanted to share.

get msn page is still up:

http://get.msn.com/

What I thought was especially cool is the old passport.net website still up and allows you to register @passport.com emails.

general account passport.net page

register @passport.com account

Once you register for @passport.com account you can login to brand new outlook.com with your passport.com email :)

You can login to outlook with your @passport.com account but you shouldn't be able to recieve email via it, at least you couldn't when it was hotmail.

indeed you can't. sending works, though.

You've created credentials

You can now sign in using <[snip]>@passport.com. Remember that you can't send or receive mail using this email address.

That's strange. Why would it let to login to outlook.com/hotmail if there is no real email service on the account.

I just tested my newly created @passport.com account and I CAN send emails from it, but have not received any emails from my other account yet. Though when account was just created I did get a welcome email.

Oh well. It was still cool to find the ancient pages that MS needs to remove.

The screenshot doesn't really show why wouldn't it work. MX record is ok, but different that on the hotmail/outlook.com accounts.

If you mean Ping is not working, it's normal for all Microsoft sites. They block it network wide.

ping www.microsoft.com

PING lb1.www.ms.akadns.net (64.4.11.42): 56 data bytes

ping download.microsoft.com

PING a767.ms.akamai.net (89.149.151.33): 56 data bytes

ping www.msn.com

PING us.co1.cb3.glbdns.microsoft.com (131.253.34.194): 56 data bytes

Kinda weird :p

    • You do you, I've just said that it first appeared in "home" version before it will be available in "work" one. I use Edge only because it still supports MV2 uBO extension even on Android - I'll switch when they stop.
    • I imagine that was a review or something? My reviews mostly contain a lot of images and galleries, but these are all webp too, but yeah it all adds up on the page load. Would help if you were more helpful with your critique instead of bitching and moaning like a Karen 😂 Because then we might be able to fix it for you.
    • If Valve refused to let them make the case, I wonder if they've already partnered with someone else to do it? The fact that they didn't seek permission/licence before diving straight in is incredible though
    • OpenClaw now has native mobile apps on iOS and Android by Karthik Mudaliar OpenClaw, the viral open-source personal AI agent, now has its own mobile app, available on both Android and iOS. Users can pair the app with an existing OpenClaw gateway and can start using new mobile-native features that are now available on the app. The app supports all the existing features you'd already have seen on OpenClaw's TUI, as well as some more, such as real-time and background Talk mode, action approvals, sharing from iOS, and optional access to device capabilities such as camera, screen, location, photos, contacts, calendar, and reminders. These features are available on both the Android and iOS versions of the app. What's important with these apps is that they don't run OpenClaw on your phone, but are actually just companion apps that require a running OpenClaw Gateway on an existing device, on macOS, Linux, or Windows via WSL2. To pair the app with your existing OpenClaw gateway, users need to run the command "/pair qr" on the TUI or existing chat interface, which brings up a QR code. Users can then scan this QR code to pair it up with the mobile app. There's also an option to manually pair the app by entering the host and a port. Previously, OpenClaw had been available on phones via WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, Matrix, and others. Now, with a native mobile app, the interface is much cleaner and more focused on just the OpenClaw, of course, with the added support for camera, screen, location, and more. It's important to note that OpenClaw comes with its own security warnings. There's always a chance of prompt injection with these tools, so users are recommended to double-check authentication, tool policy, sandboxing, and execution approvals rather than prompts alone. For users well-versed with the AI harness, a native mobile app makes it easier to approve an automation, share a link, use voice, or let an agent react to phone-side context.
