Extreme Auroras seen tonight over Montana. 🐴
Go out and look up tonight. It is expected to be even more bright and vivid tonight.
Red auroras occur about 125–250 miles high, green about 60–90 miles, and pink around 55–75 miles above Earth’s surface.

Word auto save now only seems to work if the doc is saved on one drive. That’s annoying. That function is very old and they’ve broken it to force use of their wider services.

Can we all just agree that "preferences/settings/options" should be in the same place in every program?
I don't care if it's under File, Edit or Tools. Just always be in the same place. I have wasted literally dozens of seconds in my life looking for them.
