Please don't make me google where your application saves things by default

Don't forget; the apppdata folder is hidden by default too.

And that it'll help you by clearing your temporary documents next reboot

Which will occur at whatever undisclosed time that Windows Updates deems prudent.

Your windows clears your temp folder? Mine just keeps things in it forever and ever...unless its something I actually need to recover.

To be fair, this is not a windows exclusive problem, especially in the age of smartphones and flatpak.

I have no clue how much ram, cpu or anything is being used. I have no idea what processes are runing. I have no Idea how the file structure looks. And I know from experience that I can't trust any setting in the settings. I have to google my model to know what hardware it has. I can only "safely" install apps from big corp app stores.

I'm talking about my phone. It's so annoying.

You can see ram utilization and running processes in Settings > Developer Options > Running Services.

I'm sure there are apps that will do a full resource manager, though.

Settings > Developer Options > Running Services

I never found this! This is a game changer. It's very basic and frankly quite bad, but I now see that my phone is doing naughty stuff. I'll def look for an app, I need to read all these random things in the dev settings. Thank you!

edit: not even 5 minutes and I'm finding so many things that I'd like to change. I had NFC all this time!? Why is my keyboard using 150MB RAM constantly? broo thanks soo much

...do people save things to places other than C:\Users\πŸ”πŸ¦˜πŸ›Ž\Downloads ??

Depending on how you access things, you can be working on a doc saved in a temp location and when you hit save it just saves it where it is
