Gee, I wonder why?

Apple are under no obligation to accept Fortnite back on to their store. I highly doubt they will, and if someone did what epic did to apple to my company, hell would freeze over before I let anything of theirs back on my store.

Believe it or not, after 20 years of people buying things on iPhone apps, people will assume it’s safe and easily refundable when things go wrong, only to find out that because they paid for something through a dodgy payment gateway in an app on the App Store their credit card details have been stolen.

This will happen. There are thousands of online stores that insecurely handle credit card details. It might only be 0.5% of people, but it will happen and anyone saying it won’t has clearly not paid attention to the cybersecurity world.

Of course they want devs to use their payment method. That’s where they make money. Like it or not though, their payment gateway is secure.

Do you not see the irony in that?

You just spent pages attacking Microsoft for allegedly removing something that never existed. Maybe it’s time for you to re-evaluate.

By your lack of sources backing up your claims that they previously had auto-save to your local device, and your out-of-nowhere shift to personal attacks, I think it’s safe to assume that you realised you remembered incorrectly.

Taxes are rarely ever removed, because the government has gotten used to spending that extra tax.

That’s fine from a security point of view, even if a bit obnoxious.

People will get their payment details stolen due to the changes around payments. That’s 100% guaranteed. Apple are just pointing out that it’s not their problem.

And why does no one want to give financing to the company?

Yeah doesn’t really make much sense if their new tech is as grounbreaking etc as they say. Even oil companies would try and buy them if it was.

I have had a paid Office subscription and used OneDrive since it was SkyDrive, so I honestly couldn’t tell you from personal experience - which is why I’m using google and also asking any and all AIs I have access to. I have found zero evidence of AutoSave being added and working with local save files. AutoRecover yes, AutoSave no.

I’m happy to be proven wrong though, so feel free to provide some links showing that it did.

Last point: anyone who doesn’t think the Microsoft board of directors should be guillotined should also be guillotined.

Such a badarse you are. I’m quivering in fear.

Also I am a paying customer, you shill. I just want my file saved LOCALLY, as it has been for decades, not on OneDrive.

They haven’t removed saving your files locally though.

It was removed from the MacOS version, yes. I’ve been using Microsoft Word since 2004.

I haven’t seen any evidence of it ever working outside of OneDrive. I’ve been using Word since it came out.

Yes, they added a feature for paying customers. That’s not “bizarre and shitty”. That’s pretty much the industry standard. Paying users get more and better features.

Microsoft is a despicable company whose board of directors should be guillotined.

Ok well you’re clearly not to be taken seriously on issues like this.

Ok so it’s on iOS, but has it ever been on the desktop versions and then removed?

You can also apparenlty change auto-recover to be every 1 minute. Seems like Auto-Save has never been offered outside of OneDrive on desktop.

If what I’m reading in Microsofts support forums are correct, there was never an auto-save-to-local function in Word though. There was the auto-recover, but that’s not the same and I believe still exists.

Auto-save seems to have been added as a onedrive-only feature, which is fair enough.

Is that true? I can’t really confirm that one myself as everywhere I use Word it is logged in with a license.

Just an FYI - you don’t have to throw away computers that can’t upgrade past Windows 10. They will keep working.

Not really not-democratic, just shitty.

Where are you getting your 80-90% hallucinations figure from?

AI isn’t just hype though, especially not in ways that Microsoft as a huge service provider can use and provide it.

How so? I’ve used multiple office products every day at work for the last 20 years and have only noticed them getting better and better. If I could have any version of any of them to use right now it would be the current ones.

I don’t care if you reply or not, it just makes you look like you can’t defend/support your position to even the most basic of questioning.

Is the USA enabling genocide currently? How?

While I don’t think it’s a great look, employees can be customers/users too. I can’t imagine a Plex employee wouldn’t actually use Plex either. They should have disclosed that they’re an employee in the review.

This is why when people say that FOSS is more secure than closed source I always laugh. Those people seem to think that because it’s open source that not only has it been reviewed in depth by security experts who know every single possible vulnerability, but that they found every vulnerability, fixed them, put in PRs that were then approved by the creator, who then made a new release with those fixes……. every time a new potential vulnerability is discovered in the libraries etc that it’s using.

Often it just leads to situations like this - known big vulnerabilities that are just never fixed.
