@lkjhgf253 lol, I'm good with that! 😜

@StopWastingTime ...The New York Post? It's a well known classic news publication in the US

As a backend dev, I don't disagree, and I apologize, lol

I loved when Linus Torvalds even said "If you left me on an island with a laptop and I couldn't leave until I made a pretty UI, I would **die there**!"

@C0D4 Ah, ok, the notifications were an aspect I was missing.

This works too 😂

@M1sf3t I didn't mean devRant specifically, just in general. Various forums, Reddit, etc.

@KasperNS Laptops normally ship like that, it's usually called shipping/transit mode, so they don't power on in the box and they hold their initial charge. I don't know why I see newer Dell laptops apparently go into some sort of state like that but it happens and I have not discerned any rhyme or reason yet.

@KasperNS Another fun issue on convertible/2-in-1 laptops is when it thinks the lid is flipped around when you set it on a magnetic surface. It senses tablet mode with magnets on the top lid and bottom cover, and the bottom cover magnets are sometimes WAY too strong, so a desk that has a lot of metal (including mine which has a layer of wood on top) will trigger those magnets and disable the keyboard and touchpad input (and side buttons like the power button), leaving you utterly confused when you pick it up and walk it over to the help desk and it magically works again.

@KasperNS I deal with a fleet of Dell laptops and desktops at work and the power button thing is real. I don't know what the deal is. If you have a "failure", just wait several seconds, then give it a short firm quick press and wait a few seconds. Next, try plugging it into the AC adapter if it's a laptop (and if it has USB-C and an AC adapter, it must be the AC adapter, not a USB-C charger) and then power it on (I call it a "jumpstart"). Nothing to do with battery life, I do that and power it on to find it's at 70%.

The most infuriating part is when they do away with power LEDs on laptops and just have a battery LED. They may lag to power on and show no indication that they're on (SSD, no fans, no power LED, no way to tell), then I try a second press and power it back off, wash rinse, repeat. Rage, Dell. Rage.

It doesn't really appear to let you "create a workspace". You can open a folder or open a workspace, but I have no option to create one from scratch and choose what folder it goes in. I have to let it magically prompt me to save my workspace.

There's no way to "close" a workspace/repo/folder and open another one. Closing all the editors doesn't cut it, and right clicking on the workspace you have open does nothing. You have to close the app completely and/or manually open the Welcome screen and open another folder.

I would never have thought that a product like Visual Studio Code would be so antithetical to how Visual Studio Community 2019 works. Wow.

It's horribly unintuitive. Ctrl+Shift+P is what you have to do to run a command. And you have to search for the command. Menus and lists of options don't cut it, apparently.

It took me 20-30 minutes to figure out how to integrate Git. It shows a Source Control option on the sidebar, says there's no repos registered, and has no option to add one and no documentation pointing anywhere on how to do so and no command I can guess myself to do it either and no GitHub plugin. I had to sit there Googling my head off to conclude that I need to download Git for Windows and then it just magically gave me a little message in the bottom right of the screen asking me if I was interested in integrating Git. Gee, would have been nice to have that in the options/commands somewhere.
