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.

The article title and way its being framed is extremely misleading.

In the actual article:

"The underground infrastructure was located beneath the European Hospital compound, and passed under the adjacent area that was marked in the graphic," the IDF said in a statement.

They're not saying there was no tunnel, just that the tunnel went underneath the highlighted area - since that's what tunnels do, go underneath things.

For the missing context of the articles claimed “error” (of which there wasn’t actually one):

The IDF released a video late on Tuesday highlighting what it said was tunnel infrastructure.

But analysis of satellite imagery shows the buildings highlighted are in a school 150-200 metres away.

"The underground infrastructure was located beneath the European Hospital compound, and passed under the adjacent area that was marked in the graphic," the IDF said in a statement.

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.
