I have been driving for 28 years and didn't know this either until a couple of years ago when I saw one of those useful car fact videos on youtube.

Yes,I've known that for years.Maybe my daddy told me.It sure comes in handy when you drive a rental or other car you're not familiar with.

In the grand scheme of things, it's a tiny "nice touch" type of thing. People miss "bigger" features. True story:
My dad installs remote car starters on the side (he's retired after 40+ years as an auto mechanic). A friend of his wanted to get one installed in his car. He brought it in, my dad took a look at his keyfob...and had to tell him he's already got one. Held down a button for a second or two, and sure enough, the car started. The guy had owned the car for over 3 years (and often went outside on cold mornings to start it up) and never realized he had a remote starter.

Only found out about that myself not so long ago.
I was selling my old car that I'd had for about 18 years. A guy was looking it over and pulled out a cup holder from a little slot. I thought to myself, that would have been useful.

Now I want some way to find the release lever on a rental, the rear hatch release on a Renault, how the frick do you put snow chains on (oh wait I got the son to do that).

I noticed about 4 years ago. I've only been driving for 45 years, though.

Isn't it always on the passenger side?

Nope, mine is on the driver's side.

No, it is inconsistent. I have two Hondas and both are on the driver's side. Some manufacturers are not consistent among their own models though.

A similar "problem": I ran into a need for a COM-port connection to my PC, and searched like crazy for it before I had to realize that the PC has no COM-port. I had had that PC for nearly three years without noticing.
Later, I learned that the mainboard does have a COM port header. Everything that was needed was a cable to make it available outside the cabinet. But at that time, it was too late.

We halted testing 2019 Monday of this week. Too many issues with TFS and EF for us to continue, and that is the tip of the iceberg. We are going to resume testing again in 1 year's time.
I strongly advise against doing any production work with this for the next 3-6 months minimum; or be able to fall back on 2017 if needed on any solutions/projects.

Good to know
Thanks!
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

You didn't have to use VS2019 to have issues with EF.

I can see you are going to join the group that denigrates EF at every opportunity, welcome.
Now what is your opinion of Crystal Reports?
