They don’t own a printer then. Or any IOT device.

ok who the heck uses windows servers? I don’t think even microsoft does.
coffeetastesbadlikecoffee@sh.itjust.works 9 months ago
Too many businesses, lots just started with MS Small Business Server and Upgraded from there.
the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 9 months ago
Just about every government and business. I’m guessing you’ve never had a job in IT.
int32@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 months ago
well, maybe for the active directory, but for pretty much anything else…

Haha, this book keep popping back up.

Oh so it’s a pop-up book?

Removing the word “windows” in the last frame and also “your dad installs it for your dumb mom” to “your parents install a server. Maybe your mom does it or your dad does it. Maybe you can also help!”
Teaching “children” that technical artist are for dady to do is so cringe.
Those two little changes and it becomes a readable story.
tahoe@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Yeah it seems to be from the early 2010s, some of the wording would probably be different if it was made today
boonhet@sopuli.xyz 10 months ago
This seems to be an ad for a windows based product. I agree with your points though.
blargbluuk@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
I agree the language should be adjusted but it doesn’t say or even imply the mom is dumb, that’s a little bit of a stretch.

I redid this book once, changing words and some pictures to make it for Linux server. I wanted a book that made sense.
fum@lemmy.world 10 months ago
You still got a copy? I’d love to share it with some people
01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 10 months ago
Maybe. I’ll have to see if I can find it. It’s been a few years, but I hope I do still have it. If I do, I’ll share it
Nouveau_Burnswick@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Swap windows home server for server on the last page and you’re done.
Until your kid is 7/8, then you need to explain why one server isn’t enough and you need a second server somewhere else for the same reasons it shows a server being important when the computer gets pee on it.

A children’s book sponsored by Microsoft… No
nfreak@lemmy.ml 10 months ago I thought this was just an elaborate shitpost. that’s so unfortunate.

windows home server
rarsamx@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
They had me u til “your dad installs it”
notarobot@lemmy.zip 10 months ago
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 10 months ago
Yes, but current MS Azure+buzzwerds actually works.
WHS was as very, very bad layer on top of NTFS.
Blackmist@feddit.uk 10 months ago
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 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.
RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 10 months ago
I wonder if there’s some technical benefit to it. Being familiar with Windows is one benefit ofc but not a technical one.
Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 10 months ago
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.
BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 10 months ago
This is a AI meme right?
qaz@lemmy.world 10 months ago
It is not. The source is linked in the post.
DacoTaco@lemmy.world 10 months ago
It is not, its been a thing since circa 2008
webpack@ani.social 10 months ago
unlikely, there’s a full book version linked
BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 10 months ago
But it’s so absurd lol, someone got paid to make this and they did it in full seriousness,
Like stay at home server, and other kids who will make fun of you for it are jealous of your server like wtf
Kolanaki@pawb.social 10 months ago I am of the mind that servers belong in restaurants.
Like… Why do I need someone to take my order and bring me a meal at an office?
itslola@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Of all the American vernacular for job titles, “server” is probably the one that makes my poor Aussie brain glitch most frequently. While you’re wondering why people are bringing you a meal in the office, I’m looking at the same sentence and wondering why diners are being forced to work as sysadmins over dinner.
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
What’s wrong with “server”? They serve you food, much like a computer server serves files.
Sir_Simon_Spamalot@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Because we’re busy!
DarkSirrush@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
I mean, I make fun of my home server all the time - its 2 old computers screwed to a wall.
LordCrom@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I knew someone who threw away a laptop because the screen broke.
They see junk
I see a new home server with built in ups, just rip off the screen.
01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 10 months ago
Literally my first server lol
RVGamer06@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago The “built-in UPS” is gonna degrade real quick, based on my experience
01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 10 months ago
As it should be! Lol

This is cute except for the windows name drop. Is this book a Microsoft ad?
metaStatic@kbin.earth 10 months ago
yeah, this is just child abuse
jol@discuss.tchncs.de 10 months ago
Those parents deserved to be mocked. Poor child
wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 months ago
Yep, was literally made as a marketing stunt.
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 10 months ago
I’m pretty sure it came out around the time of Windows home server
josefo@leminal.space 10 months ago

A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 10 months ago Big people have a server at the “office”.
The office is a boring place where big people go and do boring things.
Offices are why big people get grumpy, and say bad words.
But guess what?
Some servers aren’t boring.
They don’t go in offices…they go in houses!
Maybe in your house!
How does it get there?
When a mommy and a daddy love each other very much,
the daddy wants to give the mommy a special gift.Not sure if serious (Fry meme)

Is there a machine that looks like this? Complete with glowing curved top?
Moonrise2473@feddit.it 10 months ago
This is an ad, so the computer pictured is not fictional, but it’s the HP Mediasmart ex470 (I think this joke book was even bundled with the first units)
They used really shitty processors so it’s ewaste, maybe it can be acquired for cheap and repurposed with some mini itx board
waterSticksToMyBalls@lemmy.world 10 months ago
A ghost raw s1 with a custom 3d printed top would be close
FinalRemix@lemmy.world 10 months ago
You cold gut an Alexa. It’d ve a massive improvement over the shit inside to begin with.

Why does daddy spend more time with the server than with mommy?
A7thStone@lemmy.world 10 months ago
It’s a Windows home server, how else is he going too keep it up.
HexadecimalSky@lemmy.world 10 months ago
The home server never chrated on him and had a fling with windows
moseschrute@lemmy.world 10 months ago
But you have a Daddy and Mommy who love you!
And, a Windows Home Server! Does that make you happy?
They had me until windows

Ah, it’s just a fancy ad. That explains the poor writing.
