    Fun fact, a few years ago Microsoft Word removed their auto-recovery (pseudo-autosave) feature, and rebranded it so that it’s ONLY available through their OneDrive service.

    If you write for an hour and your computer crashes, you’re shit out of luck (unless you have a really old version of Microsoft Word).

    To add insult to injury, Microsoft ran a disinformation campaign on their forums to convince people that they’d never had any kind of autosave feature ever.

    If you can’t figure out where a file went on your computer, you shouldn’t own one in the first place.

    EDIT: Saving file on windows isn’t the same as saving a file on android, it’s very findable.

      Im wondering out loud how many people you’ve managed to put off things in real life by acting like that.

        You’re not allowed to benefit from things unless you fully understand how they work, obviously. Better get rid your fridge unless you know that heat exchange cycle by heart!

        If you think that a single comment on the Internet about using a computer defines my entire personality and behavior patterns, you are genuinely naive.

          For probably everyone in this thread, they will only have your one or two comments to go by. So it seems fair.
