Im a Canadian, and unfortunetely we use both formats, with no context.

Rentlar ,

Which is why written down or typed without a format prompt I use “12 Aug 2023”

Waker ,

Do you use metric? :)

name_NULL111653 ,

I use Fahrenheit just because it’s a pain to get everything set to Celsius and other Americans don’t understand it. But I use grams, kilos, millilitres, kilometres, etc. Yes. And if someone asks me to guess the length of an object I will give centimetres, and refuse to translate to inches and their stupid fractions.

_wintermute ,

Yes. And if someone asks me to guess the length of an object I will give centimetres, and refuse to translate to inches and their stupid fractions.

Some proud neckbeard shit right here. “Fuck communicating effectively with people. They don’t even know I only use the metric system!”

But yeah, got em… I guess.

GreyEyedGhost ,

I kind of get it, it’s like language immersion. How do you easily describe anything besides the freezing point and boiling point of water in an objective way? The rest, you can point to and say “this weighs a kilo” ot “this holds a liter.” And if you don’t force people to use it, they’ll simply refuse. And we all carry handy unit conversion tools with us wherever we go these days, so if they don’t want to learn, they can easily translate it themselves.

illectrility ,

So you use Fahrenheit because Americans don’t understand Celsius but you don’t convert to imperial for them if they don’t understand? That just seems inconsiderate as it’s really no trouble at all

Microsoft Outlook puts attachments that you open in some insane temporary folder. That’s fine for viewing a file but god forbid you save without changing the full path.

Bye ,

Also it deletes calendar invites once accepted. People put other stuff in those emails! Like meeting links and stuff. Why would you delete that???

ChaoticNeutralCzech ,

At my school, some people would not accept invites for this reason. Very annoying but less so than being forced to use Microsoft products.

LemmyFeed ,

Those meeting invites get deleted but the content should still be on the actual scheduled meeting if you open it from the calendar.

Fun fact, you can immediately go to that temp folder by typing in “%temp%” into the search bar.

Default save folder is Documents

TWeaK ,

Sometimes it’s the last folder you saved to. Sometimes it’s OneDrive. Word these days really likes to push you to OneDrive or other MS services, it takes effort to save where you want.

SloganLessons ,
@SloganLessons@kbin.social avatar

It’s the last folder you saved to if you’re still using the office app after saving the last file, otherwise it will fall back to Documents.

vrighter ,

ok, but which documents folder, and where actually is it?

Because if you have onedrive installed then that does not sync your documents folder. It syncs its own folder that it puts god knows where. And then does its best to have explorer open its folder instead of your documents folder. Which does not always work. So sometimes you get an app that actually opens “c:/users/username/documents” and it’ll be empty

SloganLessons ,
@SloganLessons@kbin.social avatar

If you have the option to sync documents folder with onedrive, its the same one.

If you don’t, I’m assuming the autosave with cloud enabled will save it in a different documents folder inside onedrive folder. This onedrive folder is by default in your user folder, but you should have quick access to it in the list of folder on the left of the explorer window, or by double clicking on the onedrive icon in the taskbar.

The only time it can be tricky to locate these files is when the app closes unexpectedly (for whatever reason), and you have to try to locate the .tmp file in the appdata.

Otherwise, the only chance your file is somewhere else is if you edit an existing file or if you save it in another location by mistake. This is easily solved by checking the latest saved files.

It’s not as tricky as you’re trying to make it out to be

vrighter ,

The only way I can get to my actual, local, documents folder is to go directly through my home folder.

and the only way to get to that is through c:/users, because microsoft keep doing their best to hide that a home folder exists.

I’m not speculating. this is what happens on the machine I use daily.

click my documents in the sidebar. then install onedrive and press the same button. it takes you somewhere else. where your files aren’t

SloganLessons ,
@SloganLessons@kbin.social avatar

The local documents folder is always by default in the list of pinned folders, the ones I mentioned in the last reply. On the left side of the explorer.

In alternative, you can go to your users folder and create a shortcut in your desktop, or another location of your choice; create a shortcut for each subfolder of your choice in your desktop, or another location of your choice; or pin them in the list mentioned previously. Customize your machine to your personal preference.

I’m also speaking from personal experience, I work with Excel almost daily. Perhaps try to understand how you have your onedrive configured. Or if you don’t use it, just uninstall it and/or don’t use the autosave with cloud feature

vrighter ,

I know it is always there by default, unless you install onedrive. Then that same button gets repurposed and it doesn’t point to your local documents directory anymore. You don’t get two documents shortcuts. like you, I also use my computer daily. that’s nothing special. most people do

SloganLessons ,
@SloganLessons@kbin.social avatar

It doesn’t point you to a different folder, it’s the same directory as the local Documents.

What I suggested is that you could create your own shortcuts that fit better your needs, I didn’t say it would create two documents shortcuts. I’m not sure what you are talking about.

And hey, I was trying to give you tips on how things actually work. If you want to be antagonistic, fine, I’ll shut up then 🤐

Have a good one

vrighter ,

It is not. if it were, they’d both contain the same files. they do not. so they’re not.

They’d also have the same directory path. They do not. Going to those two different paths gives you a different set of files.

I just scanned the files in both directories. the files in them are physically on different spots on the filesystem, at the cluster level.

They are not the same directory. I don’t know what to tell you.

flambonkscious ,

C:\users{user}\documents is the windows default

Onedrivechanges it to C:\users{user}\onedrive\documents

I believe this is the ‘known folder move’ feature. I kinda assumed it does the same sort of thing for desktop, did you get bitten in that front, too?

Smoogy ,

Not always.

Aug 9, 2023 and 08/09/23 literally say the same thing.

They do but one informs the reader of the order of the format while the other doesn’t.

    August 9th 2023 would be 09.08.2023 in Germany though 😉

    ivanafterall ,
    @ivanafterall@kbin.social avatar

    Also changing it to periods doesn't avoid confusion about the order. Also pretty sure we fought a whole war over not being like the Germans, so...

    harl3k1n ,

    It’s quite simple really. The order is “small to big”. You start with the smallest unit, in this case the day. Then follows the next largest unit, the month, and finally the year. Basically the same as in the top picture, but in reverse order.

    @andrew@lemmy.stuart.fun avatar

    Look it’s easy, you just wait until the 13th of the month to figure out which format it is. Is 12 days really so much to ask?

    The first isn’t ambiguous at all; the second is hella ambiguous.

    It’s only ambiguous because there’s a second standard.

    Is 08/09/2023 August or September? What about 08.09.2023? Do you see where the problem lies?

    glad_cat ,

    08/09/23 literally says the 8th day of september.

    No, the second one says “Sept. 8th 2023” and that last panel is obviously British (you can tell by the teeth) /s

    Virtually nobody knows what that is. It may as well be a link to a turbo encabulator except more people know what that is.

    The link requires an explanation of its own, and the original post remains a mystery.
