A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

As a Windows engineer, the number of times I've seen other "engineers" open a case with Microsoft is insane. It seems to be a lot of their first reactions. No logs, no trying anything, just "this broke, why no work". I think it's that the Linux guys are mostly self taught, and the windows guys aren't.
I think it's more of "we pay Microsoft (or any company) for this. Make them handle it."
It's that kind of thinking that makes shit like the crowd strike problem possible.
Windows server admins: "We pay Microsoft for the service, damn right we'll use it!"
Linux server admins: "We don't pay anyone for the service, hopefully someone else had the same issue and posted about it somewhere..."
Interestingly, the latter ends up with better stability and security!
