What Are You Doing Right Now

Am I the only one, or does it seem weird when people sign their name at the bottom of their posts on SW?

It's super strange. And that's where the "Thanks, AJ" joke came from.

I swear, people just say things without having any idea of what they are talking about. Multiple people saying Hyper-V on a desktop is a type 2 while on the server it's a type 1.

-
And someone saying that VMware Workstatin isn't a hypervisor at all.
-
That is quite a few people who...
- Work on windows primarily
- Don't know Microsoft products
- Don't know virtualization
- Have missed years and years of continuous SW threads explaining this
- Are unaware of MS documentation and certification information
Why is it that it is always the Windows admins who fall for the myths around Windows? It seems that the more you use Windows, the less you are likely to know about it.

And this thread where people are regularly confusing "subscription" with "cloud". Do people have this same issue with cell phones, magazines, newspapers, water, sewer, trash pickup and other things that you pay for monthly? Do we suddenly think that our sewage is handled "in the cloud" because we pay monthly for it? How do people work in IT and think things like this?

In their defense, they call it Adobe Creative Cloud. But anyone with half a brain should figure out it's just a subscription haha.

That thread is a great example of how there is zero tolerance for IT people misusing terms to "sound cool" or whatever. Everyone is talking about unrelated things and referencing each other pointlessly.

So since I've never had the privilege of using VMware, from your one comment, do you not get console access to the VMs?

No a LOCAL console, no. Same with Xen. Hyper-V will give you a local console (hook up a monitor to the VGA output and sit at it like a normal workstation.)
Xen and VMware make you use a remote console through a tool like XenCenter, XO or vCenter.

Oooh, ok. I got ya.

And this:
Exactly, it's both and they are different versions...gets pretty confusing for people new to it! The old MSP I worked at would install Server 2012 as a physical server THEN run install/configure/run the actual production OS for the client company in Hyper-V inside the damn physical server's OS. So stupid!! Someone either didn't know how to config type-1 Hyper-V or was afraid of losing RM of it.
Hopefully their manager isn't reading that comment.

OMG, QNAP leapfrogs the market becoming the most advanced and desired NAS system ever made.

I doubt that their manager understands this or would have explained to them at the time that they thought the MSP screwed up.

And for people who have no idea how it works.

And people who don't look it up or ask questions.

Ah IC because Systems Engineer also has the word Engineer, so an Engineering degree is the same thing.
searching for a Senior Systems Engineer/Administrator to support the Engineering group and tools. The incumbent will have a minimum of a Bachelor Degree in Engineering or Computer Science.
Education:
Bachelor Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Electrical EngineeringI applied anyway.

Not a single degree with any relationship to SE.

It's a Gov't contractor so I'm not surprised.
