Funny this popped up...I've been looking at replacing our slow and flaky Selenium test suite recently.

From what I can tell here are the benefits:

* With Playwright you don't need to put manual waits in your program. It's async.

* You also don't need to keep updating the Selenium.Webdriver to stay in sync with your browser version. This is a 15-20 minute time sink each time it happens.

* Can run in headless mode which will run the test suite much faster than selenium.

* Also appears to have better command line options to be run from a CI/CD environment

Where is the data for this stored? I was inspecting and didn't see anything in Local Storage, Session Storage, nothing on the network tab. Hit refresh thought everything would be wiped, but all my data was still there!

Unfortunately I sent the whole thing back to the repair shop and I'm guessing they probably sold it. In hindsight I should have taken it out prior to sending it to them...

I had the same issue with my MacBook Air with the exact specs, though I never dropped mine. Just shut it off one night after watching Thrones for a few hours and it never turned back. Pleaded with Apple for quite a while to see if they would replace the logic board due to defect, but they did not. Mine was purchased in May 2013 and dead Nov 2014. Finally broke down a couple of years ago and bought a low end I3, with 4gb of ram logic board and it's working again. Guess I would have tried this as well had i known it was an option at the time :)

Were a team of 40 and we are using teams. It does work pretty well for most things, and I like all of the integration options. We had been using Mattermost prior to switching and a few of us still use that instead. The biggest issue I have with teams is the markdown support is not good. It tries to format as you type instead of letting you type markdown and have a type/preview mode. I've raised this on their forum and it doesn't appear to be anything they want to fix either. If they fixed that issue I wouldn't have any complaints.

I've been managing a small instance since version 5. There have been a few hiccups here and there, but mostly due on my part to not reading the release/upgrade notes carefully enough. Since version 8/9 it has been absolutely pain free. Run apt-get update then apt-get upgrade wait a bit and enjoy the new release!

SublimeMerge is also a wonderful tool. Been using that since it came out and has helped tremendously with difficult merges. It's lightning quick as well.

Similar to magit - Sublime Text also has SublimeGit, not as fast as SublimeMerge.

Visual Studio Code built in git functionality is also nice.
