Indeed so - that was my point (I think!). OneNote could have become much more, but was effectively abandoned (probably for good reason, at least from the MS company culture viewpoint). If you have to start over with Loop, then that's fine for new teams etc, but for us oldies with years of project notes etc already, it makes more sense to move to something that allows us to retain/migrate our existing workflow etc.
As almost always happens with MS (and indeed most large orgs) the attraction of the shiny and new is greater than the consideration for what has gone before and so long-term customers are, once again and at best, simply not considered.

onenote was interesting and it tossed out some new ideas. I've been looking for an electronic engineering notebook for decades, and I actually had hope for one note - nah. It just got too clunky. Worse, somehow Microsoft managed to shove their head up where the sun doesn't shine and start indexing folders everywhere. This irritates the living daylights out of me because I use SVN heavily. So the stupid little files show up yada yada yada.
Microsoft does do some interesting work, but they always seem to manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Ah - so that's the update that shut down my machine while I was at lunch with a ton of windows open 
It's not Updates fault: it's the default settings on my new install. Evidently "Active hours" are set for "Night owl developer" and were 3PM t0 7AM or something. I can't even imagine the thinking behind that one.
cheers

I'm not sure if this is by design, or a bug.
I created a new WPF project & solution. I added 4 previously existing projects, which all have their own repos, to the solution. I then added a couple of new class library projects to the soltion.
When I open the Git window, it shows the 4 previously existsing repos, but there is no repo for my new app. How do I add my new solution, WPF project, and class library projects to Git using VS?
If I remove the 4 pre-exising projects, and close & reopen the solution, then there is an menu option to create a repo for it. But then I have broken refs and have to fix those & commit.
This can't be right. What am I doing wrong here?
In theory, theory and practice are the same. But in practice, they never are.”
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.

You'll have to create a new repository for the new application.
File->New->Repository
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

That created a new repo ib Git, but nothing appears local. The remote has no files in it either.
[UPDATE]
You have to set the Local Repository path. It sets it My Docs, which created an empty repo there. Once I changed it to my app's directory, it worked fine.
Thanks

Seems that the Internet Archive (The Wayback Machine) are undergoing a DDoS attack. The only possible reason I can think of for that is there is some company or gov that has something to hide.
I often find myself going to the Wayback Machine to verify what a big corporate once said.
That sources of history are being attacked is worrying, to say the least. What can we as a group do to protect a verifiable source of truth?
Here's one suggestion: Help them to go distributed.
I'm an old veteran programmer (35 years), and am mostly out of it now, although I still do some DB and embedded stuff, but I'm not up on the recent stuff.
We need people to step up and help protect the history stored by the IA and the WBM, or bad actors will erase it, or prevent access to it. Can you say 'George Orwell' ?

I go there quite often, wouldn't want to see anything happen to them.
If you can't find time to do it right the first time, how are you going to find time to do it again?

subject obviously stolen...so let continue stealing
When in the Course of human events, it
became noticeable that society is not willing to manage itself
smart layers will see the money making opportunity and make rules and laws.
In my opinion, each and every AI assisted text , message , chat ( especially ) etc
MUST be required , by law, to be identified as such:
"This was produced by/ with an aid of AI, caveat emptor "
This rant was not build using AI ( can you tell ?)

Trouble is that that's like having an "Are you 18?" page on a naughty website with two buttons: "I'm 18 or over, let me in" and "I'm under 18, I'll go away now" and expecting anyone ever to press the second one ... 
Since we don't have any proper real-world identification with the internet, many feel free to do or say what they want: plagiarise from people or AI, troll, or attempt to destroy. Who is going to arrest them if the AI is in China and he hands it in as his own work in the USA?
Laws that can't or won't be enforced are worse than useless - they undermine the fabric of "real laws".

It could be a requirement of the code that all copy/pasted material include an indelible "watermark". So to use it without the mark, you'd have to type it out yourself.
Of course this would usher in another challenge of creating apps to remove the watermark, but with this logic, why bother with even locking your doors?
