  To be consistent with Powershell’s command structure, they should call it “Get-Access” or something similar…

    Given the horrible verbosity of PS utils, I’d expect they just abandon subtlety and call it Substitute-User-Do-Operation

      I’m pretty sure it’s just Verb-Noun, I don’t think I’ve seen the multi-hyphen o es your reference

    Can we truncate it to Get-Ass?

    source

    • BaldProphet@kbin.social ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      `> Set-Alias -Name Get-Ass -Value Get-Access

      Get-Ass
      Get-Access : Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x00000000 (E_ACCESSDENIED))`

        That’d like up with their Xbox naming scheme. XbOne, XSeX, etc.

      An that is too unrealistic

    Sentinel, Defender, Entra. I hear these daily in meetings and don’t know what the hell they are. (Not my job)

    source

    • egonallanon@lemm.ee ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Sentinel is MS’s SEIM product, defender is likely people referring to their paid av offering, Entra is what they renamed AzureAD recently which is their identity management platform. Not sure why they renamed the last one azureAD was a good name for it.

      source

      • wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Maybe because they were getting tired of hearing from admins frustrated that Azure AD still doesn’t have full feature parity with “normal” AD? Now it’s clearly a separate product at least.

    I think Google’s the worst for this. Examples such as the browser Chrome, when browser chrome has been a thing for a long time. Go, a very common verb and keyword and also now a programming language. Not too be confused with their Go Links, which was a URL shortener. And then there’s all the ones they either rebrand or retire and/or replace.

    Perhaps they want confusing names because they think other search engines can’t handle the ambiguity.

    • yetAnotherUser@feddit.de ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      To be honest, other programming languages aren’t named any better

      Pascal is just a common name, Rust is a common noun, Java is an island which you cannot find by searching for just its name, Python’s a snake, C# is a musical note and C is just a letter.

  afaik they also alias common linux/gnu commands like curl.. but the syntax isnt like curl at all

  source

  • OmnislashIsACloudApp@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I definitely spent a frustrated 45 minutes trying to figure out why curl wasn’t working when it was supposed to be supported in PowerShell.

    then I hit tab a couple of times and noticed curl.exe was an option, that works exactly the same as I had expected with original syntax.

    they do this to a lot of things though a lot of common commands end up being an alias to a powershell command with a specific option set that doesn’t always line up

    Phil Collins, probably.

  They’ve had a real problem with names recently. I wonder if the laid all the creative people off in that company. Miss me with this “new outlook” “new teams” “teams for work and school” just think of a new name for each app for the love of god…

  • esc27@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Not a new problem. Many years ago they released a server app to download and deploy updates to a businesses computers. They called it Windows Update Service, or WUS. A bit later they changed the name to Windows Server Update Service (WSUS). The FAQ on the name change noted the old name “did not accurately reflect the value of the software”
