Optimistic thinking. Chances are it has many PDF and PowerPoint files scattered on it. And probably a shared user account where the files fill up a Windows desktop.

- chasd00 6y agoyeah, i bet it has every presentation ever done sitting in good ol' ~/Documents or the desktop.
- cptskippy 6y agoDoes anyone use /Documents? That's just a folder where Apps like Acrobat put garbage files.
- chasd00 6y agoon my laptop that's the default when i do save-as. I see someone plugging in a jump drive, opening the presentation, and then doing a save-as to Documents so "it runs faster"
- jefft255 6y agoWell back in Win 98 I used "My documents" a lot ahah. Now on Windows 10 Documents/ is often automatically backed-up in Onedrive (it is for me) so I started using it for saving some documents that I want to back up in the cloud.
- paganel 6y agoI'm on Mac OSX and almost all my non-programming files are in /Downloads. Maybe some other HN-ers have a better folder management technique than mine (which basically is absent), I'm curious what that is.
- curryst 6y agoI have the opposite problem. I abhor things sitting in Downloads because I pretty frequently wipe out that folder to clear out the garbage. But I struggle to follow a consistent structure, so it could be in Documents or Notes, or a random folder somewhere else because I ignored my hierarchy in a hurry. Honestly, now if I need to make sure I keep something, I upload it to Google Drive. It sucks for privacy, but their search is good enough that I rarely need to use the hierarchy. The hierarchy is now mostly to group things I want to perform actions on together.
- ingenium 6y agoHonestly I make pretty heavy use of /tmp. Almost all downloads go there, along with anything that I won't be using again after the next hour. Self-cleanup whenever I reboot (which is rare). Anything of importance, I have broad directories under Documents, and then sub folders. Or sometimes I'll put them on my fileserver with similar directory structure. The Documents folder is backed up with Spideroak.
- TeMPOraL 6y agoOf course. Everyone knows everything sits in /Downloads nowadays, whether it came from the Internet or not.
- raegis 6y agoIt's also filled with Zoom transcripts.

- bakuninsbart 6y agoPelosi is old enough for typewriters being new technology, I don't trust in her having the hand over it personally. But after the number of big hacks in the last few years I'd hope the guys in charge of general security laid down some ground rules.
- rootusrootus 6y agoI wouldn't be surprised if Pelosi doesn't really use a computer much (at work), and to the extent that she does it is completely managed by her aides.
