Nice.
What this tells me is that, if they went through the trouble of "re-introducing" the feature...then I can't possibly be the only one to find the current behavior annoying. 
Looking forward to it. I really liked the Save vs Save As options to be there instead of the current one-size-fits-all solution. Because conversely, sometimes I do want to be prompted where to save it, and at other times, I just want it to use the default. It makes sense to me to make both options readily available for each download.

This is a consistent pattern in all of Microsoft's applications that have the ability to save files. For example, I can never tell where Outlook will default to saving an attachment. It's never the same folder twice. The other Office applications exhibit the same behavior. Most of their non-Office apps insist on using the Documents folder, even if you've already saved something in a different folder in the same session.

You have to take into consideration that we're not normal. Normal people just do things with their computer as-is. If they download something, they expect it to be in their Download folder. If they save a picture, they expect it to be in their Pictures folder. If the browser asks them where to store a downloaded file or picture, it will just confuse and annoy them.

I still maintain to this day that Windows needs "regular" vs "expert" user modes. I reverse pretty much every single checkbox that controls what Windows Explorer shows by default. I understand MS wants to hide things from users to keep things simple. I want to see everything, because IMO hiding anything at all is a security risk (starting with file extensions - and we all know why).
But then, I do understand that "expert mode" for Windows already exists...and it's called Linux.

They were probably too busy raping and pillaging to Bjorn.*
* Yes, I know the Vikings were also merchants, skilled sailors, etc. But their popular perception is otherwise.

And to "celebrate", there is a new trailer for Discovery Season 3: Star Trek Day 2020 | Discovery Panel - YouTube[^] (You can turn it off at about 3 minutes in, if you want).
Yay! Looking good ...

But what does Discovery have to do with Star Trek?
[Edit]
It's a great trailer.
But the best praise this old-time Trekker can give Discovery is that I'm ready to pretend the first two seasons never happened.

I hope, at the least, that you're not a fan of Capt Mommy and Voyager.
That would be (like everything else) and anomaly!

I wouldn't call myself a fan, but at least it didn't pretend to [rant deleted]
I'm not gonna go there. It's all been discussed to death elsewhere, I'm sure.

Have you seen Lower Decks? Not very Trek like and won't appeal to most I think.

It looks like the same cr@p as the first two seasons. More cr@p I don't need to waste time watching.
I want a proper Star Trek that is more subtle with its messaging and a Spock that isn't emotional and doesn't have a sister.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Even in the trailer they spend time discussing how morally correct they are and how important the "people" are. Ah bullshit, just shoot the bastards, blow em up.
Yeah I know I'm shallow like that.

Yeah, the UK had a 3.3 yesterday: Earthquake hits towns in Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire[^]
