You know how many times I’ve had to tell someone that document they created and have been working on for days was never saved even once and can’t really be recovered?
I remember this. From the 90's.
Autosave has existed AND been the default so long that taking it for granted is now actually okay.
This is not related cloud storage or corporates spying on users. It's just autosave. That's all it takes.
Gotta save once first.
Once upon a time it was like that. I don't remember which decade I saw that last.
