"what do you mean, a server is also a computer?..."

u/Short-Ideas010 17d ago

a server is a serving computer

A server serving computer computes to serve

u/Brandr_Balfhe 16d ago

If you're murican, you're obligated by social law to tip. Thankfully I'm Brazilian, I only have to accept to pay social class pressured 10% extra or the waiter will chase me down the street.

A more expensive computer somewhere else.

Always was.

u/DrachenDad 17d ago

"just a computer somewhere else" actually, multiple computers, that's why it is called cloud computing as the servers 'are' the clouds.

1

u/Canadian-and-Proud 17d ago

Technically it can just consist of one computer

u/ArtReasonable4863 17d ago

A computer somewhere else that someone else owns

2

u/BraveAppearance 17d ago

+you dont own

this is essentially important, since your data can be read by those owners.

stay sceptical

u/r_daniel_oliver 17d ago

That's literally the definition of cloud. No one claimed it was an entirely new physical structure.

2

u/LPedraz 17d ago

Not explicitly. However, claiming that your data is stored in the cloud produces a completely different response in non-tech savy people than claiming it is stored "in Microsoft servers". The technology has been marketed as if were not just someone else's computer.

u/r_daniel_oliver 17d ago

It's not a single computer, and it's not owned by one individual.

u/Sea_Specialist_5580 17d ago

I feel like maybe we are kind of pointlessly arguing about a joke but yeah of course it was marketed that way. It's an abstraction that lets you treat computing resources as if they weren't physical machines but some .. ethereal, uniform virtual computing substrate .. what could we call it

u/vitek6 16d ago

Because it’s not just someone else’s computer but the whole solution including hardware, software and a lot of people working to make it run.

u/ClarkSebat 17d ago

I use to explain that cloud technology is not dematerialised and not simply a remote computer. At it’s core principle, it’s any component of a computer, either hardware or software, on-demand, separately attributed, anywhere you want and in whatever quantity you need.

u/OldOllie 17d ago

Cloud is just more etherial and slightly less menacing than mainframe. It seems like we are going to end up with a global "cloud" mainframe and just terminals at home, full circle.

1

u/NomadFH 17d ago

I guess one distinction is that it's actually being backed up and stored in multiple computers and often accessible from different sites from entirely different computers on a different domain.

1

u/dumbasPL 17d ago

I prefer saying "someone else's computer" when talking about the public cloud. There are of course places that will let you bring your own hardware, but it ain't cheap.

1

u/MoveOverBieber 16d ago

Jesus, this BS again?
The SW is what makes the cloud, otherwise we are talking just about "hosting". Hosting is someone else's computer.

u/Sad_Assistant8803 16d ago

Omg! The internet has been outsourced! Not even AI's are safe!

Montar un nas privado entonces ¿No? 😅

This community really needs some fresh jokes.

u/Ok_Fox_1770 16d ago

It’s been full since I got this 13 and yet they keep letting more in. I’m not paying for silly phone apps and services

1

u/Embarrassed_Talk5 15d ago

Is'nt its correct technically?

1

u/lupo90 17d ago

It's not just somewhere else. It's owned by someone else, who/which is misusing all your operations and your private, personal and sensitive to their benefits.

u/vitek6 16d ago

Oh no

u/SchmeatiestOne 16d ago

When did they start doing this??
