Remember everyone, this merger was good for consumers. That’s why it was ok-ed by regulators and the courts (and for no other reason). Venal, unelected septuagenarians have your best interest in mind.
Also, Microsoft is famous for giving consumers what they want. For instance, Microsoft Word has no autosave function because consumers don’t want to save their word documents. (If they did, they would buy OneDrive, which is the only way to autosave on a word processing app that costs money.) I mean, just look at Windows. It’s a steaming pile of garbage because that’s the aesthetic that users know and love! If they didn’t love it, why would they keep buying it? Checkmate, naysayers.
Anyway, that’s why all of gaming will soon be pay-to-win mobile games. The end.
You know what i really miss when using an OS? Advertisements! I always have to open a browser and go to a website for it. Microsoft has fixed that as well in their recent patches. What a company!
Even more important my device shouldn‘t even be able to run without an internet connection to live stream my data to MS headquarters directly. Just some food of thought for future endeavors.
How else are they going to get the needed context to provide you with AI powered context search!?
Gosh I wish they‘d get rid of the desktop as well and let me do everything with prompts again like in the good old CMD days.
Who needs a monitor when it's all AI powered anyway? Just ask your AI, it'll handle everything for you!
Embrace minimalism!
cd PicturesMicrosoft word doesn't have auto save? It definitely did before right?
I haven't used it in forever, but that is insane.
It used to have some shadowy kind of autosave where if your PC crashed it could restore the document. ( or a large part of it ).
But no actual autosave except If you have o365 ( or the one drive integration? I don't really know). I only use it at work where they pay for a License
Wow, that seems crazy. I pretty much use exclusively Foss stuff but I can't imagine not having autosave for your documents
No autosave without OneDrive. The solution proposed on MS forums is to “get in the habit” of hitting the shortcut for manual save. I’m not kidding.
That's insane. Exactly why I migrated away to linux and Foss.
