they had me until

windows home server

[–] notarobot@lemmy.zip 22 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's clearly the old Microsoft. Current Microsoft would be "Microsoft windows azure home server 365 copilot+Server cloud" (yes it says server twice)

[–] ms_lane@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes, but current MS Azure+buzzwerds actually works.

WHS was as very, very bad layer on top of NTFS.

[–] notarobot@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 months ago

Yeah. I justo wanted to make a joke. Srry

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 18 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Your server isn't working today.

This is because Microsoft wants you to finish setting up your PC that has been running for ten years.

[–] ms_lane@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

WHS wasn't working then either.

It was an awful piece of software, you were better off just pirating Windows Server 2003r2 Standard and using the software raid5 over the WHS flaky overlay system.

They had me u til "your dad installs it"

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I wonder if there's some technical benefit to it. Being familiar with Windows is one benefit ofc but not a technical one.

Man with a hammer rule definitely applies to SAs. If your skills are in Micro$oft then every problem is best solved with MS, even when it isn't.

I tried to come up with a gender-neutral way of saying 'man with a hammer' and failed. Please make some suggestions for me.

A person with a hammer? Why does it need to be difficult :P

Or just go with direct address

"If your only tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail."

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

Yup, that's the form I'm familiar with. Most idioms avoid gender entirely.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

"When you're MC Hammer, every problem is a nail"

[–] pirat@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Everytime is hammer time
