    I keep seeing this sentiment from people who are supposedly savvy with computers. I never have to question where a file was saved to on Windows and I’m not sure why you guys do.

      Same here, I’ve never had this problem, ever. I don’t even get how it’s possible to not know where your files are being saved if you are the least bit techsavvy.

      Garden variety low effort meme. haha windows (or windass or windowns or whatever) bad so funiiii lolololololo etc - a few linuxmemes are basically… this.

      Not sure what it does in programmer humor though - if you, as a programmer, find yourself in this situation… just git gud?

    At least there’s Windows Search to bring your system to its knees by indexing everything constantly in the background, only to be both terribly slow and unable to find anything at all when you actually need it.

    I depend on Voidtools’ Everything search, which actually finds stuff.

    The Windows Scan app is particularly bad at this. When you scan a document, it saves the scan as a PNG in Pictures\Scans. This is a sensible place to save scans by default, but it doesn’t tell you where. It just says it was saved. There’s a button to view it, but this just opens the scan in the Windows Photos app, which (at least, last I checked) doesn’t have an option to view the full path of the picture you’re viewing or open the folder it’s in!

    Pretty sure it saves it to “my documents”

    That fucking no man’s land. Who actually stores shit there?
