Boomers destroyed the world. Why should they get to retire when none of us will?

You STILL believe that a decades old word processing app would let you type for hours without periodically saving your work? Are you actually insane?

EDIT: You know what, never mind. Your corporate shilling has convinced me — Microsoft Word isn’t getting shittier. Being the only word processor on the planet with no autosave feature makes perfect sense. Amazing conclusion.

You just spent pages defending Microsoft for having no autosave feature on a word processor. Maybe time to re-evaluate your life choices.

So to be clear, your claim is that Word never saved your file automatically every few minutes? Are you suuuuuuure? Sounds to me like you’ve never used Microsoft Word before.

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

Last point: anyone who doesn’t think the Microsoft board of directors should be guillotined should also be guillotined. I am repeating this because it is true.

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

Edit: also think about what you’re saying: they “added” autosave (why didn’t they already have the single most obvious feature in a word processing app?) but they don’t let you autosave unless you put your files only on OneDrive — not locally. Think about how bizarre and shitty that is… and that’s for paying customers.

I was using it for years and they literally have an autosave feature on iOS right now. You can stop typing and force-close the app and it’ll save it to your iCloud (not OneDrive) flawlessly.

Funny enough I’m familiar with the thread you linked because when they disabled AutoSave I searched for ages to figure out how to re-enable it. That thread is bullshit.

I’m a professional writer who uses Word (I’m inured to its bullshit). Autosave does not work on local storage or iCloud — only Microsoft OneDrive. It’s unbelievably frustrating and I’ve developed the subconscious habit of spamming Cmd+S after every sentence or two. Funny enough autosave still works on iOS.

Edit: I do pay for the Office suite, and I remember when they made this change. They also disabled a few other features I’m too lazy to enumerate, but it’s things like ReadAloud, changing file names while on a cloud backup that isn’t OneDrive (disabled about a year ago), dumb stuff like that.

Microsoft Word literally removed the ability to autosave. Your document is no longer automatically saved as you type, unless you pay for cloud backup. This would be hilarious if it weren’t so unbelievably dumb.

Microsoft Office is a paradigmatic example of enshittification. But you do you.

Weird, it’s been at least a decade since I encountered a Microsoft product that wasn’t actively getting worse.

The problem with companies like Microsoft is that they’ve become completely pointless. They don’t innovate anymore. They don’t make anything useful. If you make Microsoft more efficient, they’ll just suck ass more efficiently.

Wow. Deep.

This thread is so embarrassing.

Genius.

You’re exhausting.

Yes, all billionaires are bad, just like all mountains are big. But some mountains are bigger than others. Amazing concept, I know.

Sure, but Bill Gates is as benign as it gets.
