    What I don’t get is how simply closing the laptop deletes anything.

    On every laptop and every OS I used closing the lid just makes it go to sleep and everything is the same when you open it back up again. Never was anything deleted.

    If somebody know a scenario where stuff would be deleted, please explain so that I can avoid it.

      You can set the lid-close trigger to do nothing, suspend, hibernate, or shut down. I’m assuming it was an unsaved document and the lid was set to shutdown on close.

          Maybe that’s what it was; set it to disable autosave, i.e., save to the cloud so microsofts AI can scan in puke it up somewhere else.

        The real question is who has an unsaved lesson plan open on their laptop. Just fuckin’ improv style teaching method.

        When my PC suspends it unmounts the sd card, which can cause data loss if I am working on something that is not saved to the internal SSD.

        I wanna know what monster sets the lid close action to shut down.

        Like yeah it should be an option. But nobody should ever pick that option. And anyone who does should be shunned and socially isolated.

        ok… in my experience when shutting down windows it asks to save files and blocks the shutdown until then. Same for kde linux. No idea what mac does.

          Mac just silently saves a draft and brings it back up “unsaved” when you open the program again.
