Welcome to VS 2017 <3

I'm so upset when developers starts to say that mac books are better and faster, even with windows, just because of what? Magic?apple logo? Compare them with a dell xps 15 with i7hq, ssd on pci xpress and if you care about display the 4k version is far better than retina... And no osx it's not faster than windows 10, there are comparison on the same hardware... Come on developers, you suppose to know the basics... If you prefer the macbook for design, because it's cool, fashion, light apple logo, ui, it's ok... Feel free to use it. But don't say things not true

thanks apple, like every year, cannot wait for iphone parody videos :D

[ATTENTION if you're an apple fan this rant could hurt your religion]
- I used a mc for about 12 hours, only to fix the ios version of an app in Xamarin, it was a nightmare:
- I took the only free mac available, it's the latest macbook pro with the "amazing" touch bar, mac os wash freshly reinstalled
- I switch it on, set it up and after few minutes the screen become black, I thought went in standby (the "amazing" touch bar still was working), I try to switch it on but nothing, I asked for help to mac users in office and they choose a genius solution: forced switch off and on
- Finally after took all the adapters I can start to work
- I notice that's not possible to snap 2 or more windows (without 3rd party apps)
- It's not possible to automatically enlarge the Window almost full screen without cover the bottom and top bar, there is only full screen option but it's not the best
- Inverted scroll by default, on mouse doesn't make sense (on trackpad and touch screen yes)
- Multimonitor sucks...and it doesn't recognize 2 monitors connected in chain
- It's not possible disable standby if you're on battery and you close the lid
- Too often I had to see that annoying rainbow progress also for stupid actions
- Like Windows it's not possible to install 2 software at same time
- Like Windows after some updates is required to reboot
- Finally I switched back to my lovely Dell XPS 15 with Windows 10, but I had to go back on the mac for one more fix, so I search again for the adaptor, I reconnect everything and mouse and keyboard doesn't work, after few minutes the mac reboot by himself and appear a crash report dialog...of course I send them a nice feedback
- At the end of the day, as the mac asked more than once, I install the updates... after about an hour, when we try to switch it on again, it doesn't... so once again forced switch off and on

if you want to use it for nice picture on Facebook or Instagram "just woks" ... but for serious work I'm so grateful to choose a Dell XPS 15 with Windows 10

Visual studio (2017), since I switched to C# and visual studio I'd never go back, my dev life became so much better, enjoyable, faster and easier ❤

mac os

forced to use a mac to install xamarin and use it through my lovely Windows PC... damn I spend 24 hours to make things works on mac, I'll kick next one that will say on mac things "simply works"

Edge 6 tabs 2 extensions
chrome 1 tab 0 extensions
I hate that I had to install chrome only for a backend of a non standard website that works only on chrome

To normal people that think to be real developers just because they use command line, command line editors, linux... To open source super heroes, stuck in 90s stereotypes' blaming everything against microsoft and anybody that use anything from ms, because for some reasons they things they have the right to do so, but you're not better than old ms...use whatever you want, but don't bother the other DEVELOPERS, everybody is free to use whatever they wants...funny thing i guess they use any of google services or products :)

work with npm, node and angular is a totally mess, random errors every few minutes, you need to be lucky to find the right alignment of planets to make things works...cannot wait to go back to .net and vs

Welcome to Microsoft Teams :)

Security check at the airport, I hand hover my surface pro as usual, the guy asked if I have also an ipad... Lol man I don't need that expensive toy limited to stupid apps

Sadly I just had to switch to android, I was in a shop and a notification popup: "Are you enjoying this shop? share some comment, picture, review...) ... the notification was from google maps, it was the latest google app to be disabled, now there is only play store. google account is used only for the play store... fun facts that most of people complains about windows 10 telemetry, but almost nobody complains about "don't be evil" google

Classic Microsoft, pushing you to download and install the client to join a Teams meeting, click on the big "launch Meeting" button nothing happens, next there is a "download now"" button ... and only in the end there is a way to join from the browser, but is suggests to do it only if you have issues with the client... oh wait this is not Teams

@kidjenius @js96 @algorythm and all the UWP lovers, I was thinking about create a github team/organization where we could create and share UWP apps and codebase ... what do you think about? if you know someone else that could be interested tag them

Stupid Windows I should have switch to Linux!!! the mouse suddenly stop to behave, clicks suddenly stopped to work, I changed the batteries, I unplugged and plugged the receiver, I restarted the pc...nothing.

The rant is an upvote bait for linux fanboys / ms haters ... the issue was the button got stuck :D

Gmail, gdrive, gdocs...

stupid gmail when you export contacts it exports only email address without name and surname ... google should burn in hell with their "don't be evil" abuse of dominant position

I hate this new trend to do everything only with apps without provide a web site... Why should i have thousand apps on my smartphone???

Why I cannot add picture in comments or edit comments from desktop browser but only from the app? it's really annoying :(

@dfox

So my dev colleague updated is arm Macbook to the latest MacOS version and the PC couldn't boot anymore...fun part is that even "it expert" needs to go to genius bar to fix their PC...but hey "just works"
